TO STUDY BUSINESS
School to be Started in New York City
Which is to be National in Character.

New York; Nov. 21-Largely through
the help of Mrs. E. H. Hartman a
fund of 100000 a year for five years
has been provided to maintain an ex-
perimental school for the study and
administration of public business.
While the school is to be started here
its scope Is intended to be national
A statement of the plan by the bu-
reau of municipal research with which
Mrs. Hartman has been cooperating,
announces that requests for the extern
sion of this work in other cities and
the inability to secure a sufficient
number OF men qualified to take it up,
suggested to Mrs. Hartman the need
Of providing training school for pub
lie service. Mrs. Hartman has recent
ly been consulting personally and by
correspondence, business men, journal
lists, educators and public officials as
to the need of such a school, and with
out exception these men replied that
training for this work is needed
In order to make possible a five
years test for the training school,
Mrs. Hartman made the generous Of
fer OF $4,000 for the first year and
$4,000 a year for the succeeding four
years conditional on contributions of
$3O,OOO year from other sources.

SHOWING ON BLUSTER GROUP
II. X. Crook Tells of Good Showing on
That Property.

Mr.. and Mrs. R. R. Crook were in
the city the last of the week from Jar
bidge on their way to their home in
Fremont, Nebraska. Mr.. Crook and
his partners have become agents for
the Buster properties and he took east
with him 100000 shares of the stock
which he will place on the market at
fifty cents per share. At the present
time there are about 25 men at work
on the Buster property, and they have
three shifts at work on a 1926 foot tun-
mel which will cross-cut the ledge at a
depth of 245 feet. He said if the ledge
holds it value at this depth the COM
pany will be able to block out 3,0O0,-
600 of ore in short time.
On the Hazeltine lease, which the
company is working, the ledge has
been encountered at 200 and 500 feet
from the discovery shaft and the show
ing is just as rich as where first dis
covered. In the Wingfield tunnel on
the Success, which has been run to
within 20 feet of the Buster line, a six
foot ledge of $50 ore has been encoun-
tered at a depth of 200 feet.

SITUATION AT SEATTLE
City Has Used Nearly Half of the
Reserve Water Supply.

Seattle, Nov. 21.-The water famine
in the residence districts is becoming
alarming. The city has used forty mil
lion gallons of the reserve supply of
one hundred million gallons, and it is
thought that the mains broken by the
floods cannot be repaired until Satur-
day. The emergency pumping stations
at Swan Lake are expected to furnish
about one-third the necessary supply
after the failure of the reservoir. The
schools have been closed until Mon
day. The courts are also closed as the
court house is without water or heat
The city uses sprinkling wagons to
distribute water through the residen-
tial district. 1t is believed the light
plant will be sufficiently repaired to
light part of the city tonight
The floods throughout the state are
subsiding but railroad traffic is still
help up through the Cascade noun
tains.

PFRISHfS IN HILLS.
Eastern Man Lost in Mountains OF
Idaho.

Lost in the wilds of the mountains
and persisted from exposure and hun
ger seems to be the fate that has be-
fallen George Smith, a man of fifty
five years of age who came west a
year or so ago and has been making
his home in the country adjacent to
Ferdinand. Mr.. Smith has been lost
since Saturday, November 4th and all
hope of finding him alive has been
given up by the parties who have been
searching the mountain country
around Adams camp for a fortnight
Smith, in company with number
of other men from the west side of
the Prairie, went on hunting expedi-
ton in the mountains in the vicinity
of Slate Creek. On Saturday, Novem-
Der 4, he left camp early in the morn
ing and since that time no traces of
him have been found with the excep-
ton of newspaper in which he car
ried his lunch for the day. There
were four members of the party and
the three remaining have searched the
country most thoroughly but have been
unable to find any trace of him. On
Saturday last Sheriff Overman and De-
putty Thompson, who are familiar with
the country around Adams camp, made
a trip to the hills and covered the
ground thoroughly but came out with
out securing any traces OF the lost
man.
Mr.. Smith, so far as we can learn,
was not at all familiar with the coun-

WILL REPORT ON WATER POWER
National Waterways Commission Be.
gins Gathering Information.

Washington, Nov 21.--The National
Waterways commission was called to
order here today by Chairman Sena-
tor Burton of Ohio, to hold series of
hearings with view of obtaining
every available information concern
ing the important subject of water
power. The commission will consider
fundamental principals pertaining to
rights in and utilization of water pow
ers; the proper relation of the federal
government to their development in
the public domain or in navigable riv-
ers under the jurisdiction of congress;
the best method of utilizing water
powers as a problem of hydraulic en-
cheering; the most desirable line of
division between state and national
control, etc.
Among those invited to attend the
hearings are Attorney General Wick
ersham, Clifford Pinchot, Secretary
Fisher and Louis Brandeis. 1t is ex-
pected that the commission will en-

port to congress.

TWO new STRIKES
Rich Strike Made in Jarbidge
on the Bluster Group.

A letter just received from Jarbidge
states that another strike has been
made on the Buster group. The strike
was made in what is known as the
Combination lease which is being OPP
Grated by O'Byrne, Middleton, Mar
guard and Benane The latter is a
brother of Ed Benane, one of the prin-
cipal owners of the Buster ground. No
details are given of the find other than
it is very high grade gold ore, and
was found to be a continuation of the
big vein which the Buster company
has opened up in another portion of
its estate.
E. w. Griffiths is very much pleased
with the reported strike on the Com
bination lease as this work has proven
up the ore within short distance of
the Indian Camp group, which Grit
fiths tied up recently while in Jarbidge
He says that it is generally known in
the camp that the Indian property car
ries the same vein as the Buster, and
that he took over the ground only af-
ter he had satisfied himself on this
point. He will organize company
among Salt Lakers and start work
just as soon as the company is incor-
porated. He says this winter is not
severe enough to interfere with de-
velopment and that they can prospect
the vein for it's entire length by tun-
nels.
They have just made another strike
on the Success group of claims, which
George Wingfield recently bought for
100000, paying $4,000 down. The
new ore body was located within about
twenty feet of the Bluster end line and
it is reported to be very high grade
ore. At the time of writing the vein
had been opened up for six feet in ore
that gives returns of $50 to the ton.
This is said to be the best body of ore
ever struck In that camp, and all the
operators in that sections of the dig
gings are much elated over the find.
Everyone there feels confident that
there will be a big demand for Jar
bidge properties little later on, and
next spring they expect to see opera
lions started on an elaborate scale in
number of the properties of that dis
trict.
Salt Lakers are becoming aroused to
the Importance of Jarbidge as min
ing camp, and couple of deals will
probably be closed up here within a
couple of weeks. Ed Benane of the
Bluster, is scheduled to arrive in town
today with his bride. He will make
this his home, and is now planning to
close a deal for one of the largest
properties in that camp with some of
largest operators in Utah. Should the
deal go through as planned, ample
capital will be provided for opening up
the property and installing mill
plant just as soon as sufficient ore has
been developed to insure regular pro-
duction.-Salt Lake Evening Telegram.
