WORK IS STARTED.
Fifty Thousand Dollar Municipal
Water Plant in Course of
Construction.

The work of installing Belle Four
che's $4,000 municipal water plant
started in earnest last week when a
crew of men in charge of r. X. At
wood of the Katz-Craig Co. of Oma-
ha commenced putting in the air line
for increasing the flow of the arte-
sian wells. Consulting Engineer S.
H. Lea, accompanied by his brother,
Sumter Lea, Jr., arrived last week
to look after the construction work
for the city, the former returning to
Pierre, but the latter will remain
here until the work is completed
The contract with the Katz-Craig
Co. calls for the water works to be
installed and turned over to the city
by June LIST, and Mr.. Atwood informs
us that with good weather and
prompt delivery of the equipment
that is ordered his company will be
able to complete their work on
time.
The new water system will consist
of large motor-driven air compress
sor, to be located in the street near
the S. T. Austin residence in the
west portion of town. From the air
compressor a line of pipe will be run
to the we'll at the Austin corner and
also to the well at the H. T. Adams
livery barn, the pipe to extend $50
feet in the wells. The water thus
taken from the artesian wells will be
piped into 10000 gallon stump 10.
Gated near the air compressor house
At this point will be located a large
motor driven pump which will force
the water from this stump to q 2O0,.
900 gallon stump to bel coated or
Sundance Hill.
The water pipe to be used will be
6, and 10 inch, and over $4,000
feet of the three sizes vii be neces
sary. The air line is a inch pipe
and there will be about 1900 fee
of this.
The trenches for water mains vii
be dug with steam driven DITCH

ing 1000 feet of ditch per day. This
machine will be on the ground thu

PROSPECTORS COMING
TO KELLER

Keller, Cal, April 10.-Mining men
and prospectors are coming into Kee-
Ter. In the hills there are about 80
men looking for strikes. Everyone
is on the alert. On the Shiveley
ground they have started to sink a
shaft. Twenty-eight sacks of fine
ore were taken out, going better than
500 a ton. There are four men
working.
The Swansea or Avern gold strike
by Arthur Whittier shows some very
fine specimens of gold rock. 1t is
wire gold, and in white quartz looks
like picture rock from the Mother
lode. Very little development work
has yet been done.
At the Old Union mine, three
miles from the Reward, considerable
activity is being displayed. This
property was bounded last year by
Skinner Brothers to Philadelphia
people. A. B. Hall of Searchlight,
has charge Of the works. There are
fifteen men working.
Tunnel No. is in $50 feet, No. 3
is in $40 feet, all in ore, while No.
4 is in ITS feet.
A lower tunnel has been started
and at $500 feet will give 1900 feet
vertical. A short tramway is being
erected and a 2O-stamp mill will be
set up this summer.
The veins are from two to four
teen feet and carry lead, silver and

HEIRS MAY GET MILLIONS.

Chicago, April 10.-An echo of the
oiden days OF warning knights and
Kings was waited across the ocean
and that echo called back to the old
world one of the transplanted de-
scendants Of those knights, in the
person of Henry Meinshausen, 1241
Norwood street, EdSewater, when
news came to him of the settlement
of an old family estate ana OF the
conditions by which he might become
a beneficiary. Incidentally, he was
advised that he is a millionaire five
or six times ever and must return to
the service of the throne.
According to Meinshausen' story
of the legacy, he is one of four
brothers in America who are direct
descendants of line of fighters that
can be traced back to the year 100,
and whose name appeared among the
Crusaders who went with Berbossa
to Jerusalem in the Holy war Of that
year.
One of the descendants in recent
centuries went to Russia, and, being
physician of prominence, become
court physician to the czarina. In
recognition of his services he was
given a grant of valuable oil land.
which at the time of his death In
1881 was valued at $4,000, 900. He
died inestate and childless, and the
government since then has held the
property pending the finding of the
direct heirs, and now the holdings
are valued at slGS, 100000.
The American brothers are Otto
Meinshausen, 1852 North Hermitage
avenue, Chicago; Gustav, Marion,
Ind; George, Cincinnati, Ohio, and
William of st. Louis. A condition OF
the legacy was that one of the men,
bers of this branch of the family
must return to the imperial Russian
service, and as Henry Meinshausen.
now over so years old, has had mil
itary experience both in German,
and the United States, having been
in the Third United States cavalry,
he was selected. He expects to leave
about July 1 to be enrolled as COL
onel of the czar's own bodyguard at
Moscow.
There were two other American
heirs, sons of the brothers, but both
were killed In the Spanish-American
war in Cuba. OF these Ernst was in
the Second United States cavalry,
and Rudolph was in the Second
United States infantry. There are
heirs in all parts of the
world. The father of the American
brothers was George Frederick
August Meinshausen, an officer un-
der the King of Hanover, who in the
Prussian war of 1866 laid down his
arms rather than serve under the
German ruler. Afterward, however,
he served in that war and was NOR
tally wounded at Gravelotte. He re-
ceived high German military decora.

II do not have to renounce my
American citizenship in order to take
this post" said Meinshausen yester-
day. "My service is insisted on or
