 ARE STILL HOPING
-ocal Agent Waiting for De- layed Transportation
 10 New York

work on a tunnel being aug under the Adirondacgs Is like anything but rid ing across the continent on Stanus ard Pullman and feeding from French bill of fare. according to La bor Agent Henze, who assayed to do just that.
 The trouble all came from having an impractical man for a partner in the undertaking. He says his part ner. Richards, is just that Richards has gone 10 New York and left Henze with the bag to hold. Henze is sit ting tight and waiting for transpor- tation to come to his rescue.
 Still Has Hope.
 While others have been knocking his game, Henze has sat steady in his boat and invited his accusers lindirectlyj to make any inyestiga- tions they choose. Notwithstanding the suspicion against the aqifeduct proposition in some quarters, Henze had no trouble in getting the men he wanted and says that he intends 10 make good yet if it lies in human power 10 do so.
 He has collected $500 from Bisbee iatorers, in SIP deposits, for sleep. ing car fares and dining car board, the remainder of SS to be deposited when the party left Bisbee. He says that this is in escrow in a local bank and that he is paying the money de posted with him back to whoever re- quests 1t
 How It Started.
 The trouble. he says. came from Richards unbusinessiike methods. The contractor, for whom Henze and Richards are working. wrote them a letter from LaSalie. N. Y., offering transportation to no laborers for the aqueduct work But he sent the let ter from New York, so Richards. it is said, addressed his communica- tions to the contractor to certain number on LaSalle street, New York City.
 or course this balled up things good and proper The transportation did not come. Wednesday,, yesterday, was set as the date for sailing across the continent to New York state and the transportation did not come. Richards pulled out and went to New York, leaving Henze 10 face the music.
 Wants to See Mail.
 HenZe says that there is mail in the local postoGice for Richards an1 he believes that the transportation is contained In the mail. but that Post master Cassidy would not deliver the mail to him. He then wired to the conductor of the train on which Rich ards is travelling 10 New York, ask ing that he wire the postmaster here a request 10 deliver his mail to Henze, but TO answer has come from the telegram.
 The contractors have given up their quarters in Medigoyich hall and Henze now spends his time eonvers- ing with the men who contracted to so with him, down around Copper Queen plaza. The men who have not withdrawn their deposits have confidence that Henze will be able to deliver the goods. Henze says he VII if it is possible.
 Henze says that certain interests have tried to make his proposition out a fake because they did nc want the laborers to leave Bisbee They are trying to embarass me but they can't do it." he says. He said that he would take the party to Benson and then via. the Southern Pacific.
 Contractor is Drunk.
 Mir Henze stated yesterday after noon that he had called on the trip to New York and had refunded all money collected by him, with the exception of the deposits of several miners who were working on night shift. He took this action, he says. following the receipt Of a telegram from his partner, Richards. whom he wired yesterday morning through the conductor of the train on which Rich ards had started to New York, tell him that the thing was of, that the New York contractor was drunk.
 It was stated that the money col lected by the labor agents was in escrow at a local bank. A man who saw one of the refunded checks says that the checks were signed by Rich ards and no one else. Evidently the cheeks were drawn by Richards be- lore leaving the city.
 Henze does not yet understand Richards action. he says, and says that if his partner has not been deal ing squarely with him he will run him down and get his goat with the union to which they both belong. ~l will not condemn him, however. un- til I learn more about it," he said
