Miners Make
| rich STRIKE

Libby, Mont. Sept. 15.-Through
lie MERGING for the first time of what
HIS proved to be a false bedrock IN
the Placer workings on Libby creek
al layer of gold-bearing gravel has
been uncovered, the richness and
magnitude of which makes it look
like another Klondyke. A dollar ana
a half in gold has been taken from
each pan of gravel from the bottom
of the hole that has been sunk.
The discovery was made through
the operations Of a steam drilling ma
chine which was brought here recent
ly to prospect the ground owned by
william Criderman and John H. Town
with a view to installing dredge.
A hole was put down on one of the
placer claims to clay formation
which has heretofore been considered
the bedrock on all the Libby creek
placers. Then, by way of experiment,
the drill was sent on down, and 1t
was found the clay was only three
feet thick, underneath which was a
three-foot layer of gravel which Is
ric& in gold.
There is an area of about 1000
acres of this placer ground on Libby
creek, owned by various persons, but
upon all Of which there is the same
clay formation which has been
thought to be bedrock. There is no
chance for new locations as the
ground has all been taken up.

VALUABLE
SPECIMENS
FOR MUSEUM
South Dakotans Search Bad
Lands for Historical
Relics

ABERDEEN, S.. D., Sept. l5.-ln
July last a party of five men, consist
ing of Francis J. Persun, Leo Erwin,
Balm Branch, Joe Pierson and Profess
sor Fred Smith, left Aberdeen. bound
for a trip through the Bad Lands in
search of specimens OF various kinds
for the normal school museum.
From here the party went by rail-
to Interior, 8. D. There a team.
wagon and camp outfit was purchased.
The first objective point was the
Great Wall, lying near the town and
extending about sixty miles east and
west. The party was very fortunate
in securing a large number Of fossil
ezed shells. They then crossed the
big wall at Big Foot Pass, named al
ter an Indian chief, near Quinn. From
here they travelled along the Milwau-
kee railroad to Scenic, and from there
to Indian creek and Sheep Table
Mountain. Here a permanent camp
was established and side trips were
made to Quinn's draw and Corral can
Won. This was the best region for
fossils and many specimens were
found. In this region were obtained
a skull of a prehistoric camel, three
toed horse, the lower jaw Of a rhi-
noceros, and many skulls of smaller
animals. They also found portion
of the skeleton of titanothene, such
as parts Of the Jaws bearing teeth
over four inches across, and many
other bones, such as femur Joints,
ranging from six to ten inches across;
also many turtles in more or less
perfect state of preservation. Many
specimens were unidentified, but OF

HIGH SCHOOLS
ARE PUZZLED

GRAND FORKS, N. D., Sept. 15.-
High schools of North Dakota are I'M
decided as to what steps they will
take in meeting the provisions of a
new law that practically calls for the
establishment Of a normal department
in the schools. 1t has been decided
by many schools to await TIE action
of the school board of control, which
is scheduled to hold meeting in
Bismarck late in September. The
law makes it compulsory for the
schools to provide special course
for review of primary grade work,
but on whose shoulders falls the re-
sponsibility for supplying such in
structiOn.

after MANY Years

MILES CITY, Mont, Sept. 15.-
Caring more for the welfare of his
child, Arthur Edward Story, than for
the prosecution of the mother on the
charge of illicit cohabitation, D. L..
Story yesterday filed suit for divorce
against his wife, Bertha Story, whom
he met, in q sensational manner in
the Golden Rule store on Monday, in
company with another man, after a
separation of three years. In the Pc
tition he asks for complete custody
of the boy.
The Storys were married in Min
neapolis on September 30, 1902, and
continued to live with each other up
until July Is. 1908, when it is al
legged, Mrs. Story deserted her hus-
band, then living at Dickinson, N. d.,
and had not been seen by him since.
The son that was born to the union
is now living near Mt. Pleasant, Mich

Telephone company, an independent
concern, in enforcing their demand
for a direct connection with Woburn,
nearby station, under rates which
had prevailed for some time, but in
which an effort was made to raise.
Every subscriber in the city presented
an order to the company to remove
the telephone in the event that the
increase was made and under this
pressure the old rate was allowed to
remain.

Efficient Service Requires
Sufficient Facilities

essential not only that there be at all
times sufficient cable facilities, under
one control, but that they should be
operated INTERCHANGEABLE with each
other and in close physical connec-
ton with land lines as one system.
Ample spare facilities are necessary
to provide against the very frequent
cable Interruptions.
Neither the Western Union nor any
one of the companies of the Western
Union group has, independently of the
others, facilities enough to handle
the business which at times any one
company might be called upon to take
care of, because Of some particular
rush of business, or because of some
cable interruption. Nor could any one
company furnish all the direct circuits
necessary for efficient service, al
though the combined facilities of
these companies are ample if they
could be used supplementary to each
other and INTERCHANGEABLE.
As it is, each company operates its
own cables through separate and dis
tinct Offices and under separate and
distinct management. All interchange
of business is by actual transfer Of the
business from one company to the
other, with the consequent delay and
interruption Of a service in which
seconds are valuable.

Efficiency Increased,
Waste Prevented

The proposed arrangement between
the Western Union, the Anglo-Ame
lean and the Direct U. S. companies
will bring the eight cables of the three
companies under one operating con-
troll. The consequent increase in
effectiveness and economy will place
the Western Union in a position to
offer certain advantages in cable
service not now enjoyed by the public.
The other way open to enable
the Western Union to make such i'm
provements and introduce such new
services as it proposes to do, would
be to lay new cables. This would
seem to be the height Of folly.
Duplication Of the existing trans
Atlantic cable facilities at a cost of
many millions, when there are more
than ample facilities for all business,
would put an unnecessary financial
burden upon an already fully burdened
business and would probably postpone
the reduction of rates or introduction
of new services.

Monopoly Of Cable
Business lr1possibLe

There is no cable monopoly pos
sible. The three systems-the
Western Union, the French and the
Mackay-will continue to exist.
The Mackay Companies is a hold
ing organization with no physical
property, but exercising through stock
ownership, lease or contract, operat-
ing control of various companies
owning land lines and cables which
make up the Mackay System. Through
this control all the various properties
are operated as one system to great
advantage in service over what could
be given by these same companies
if operated separately.
The French cables form another
system.
The Western Union System, under
the proposed arrangement for one
control over the present
segregated units, will be enabled to
make two distinct advances in the
trans Atlantic cable business:
1-BETTER SERVICE. This willbe
insured by more efficient and econom-
ical working resulting from single
direction over the operations of both
cables and land lines.
2-PUBLIC ADVANTAGES. The
greater part Of the cable capacity has
been and is now untitled. 1t will
continue to lie dormant and untitled
under existing conditions and tradi-
lions. The Western Union purposes
to make these wasted facilities useful
to the public by means Of new kinds
Of cable service.
In addition, the Western Union in
tends to nationalize its land lines by
opening them to all trans -Atlantic
cable companies.

Limited Business Hours
and Idle Facilities

As at present carried on, the trans
Atlantic cable business is practically
all fash service, l. E. instantaneous.
Owing to the difference in time, there
are only a few business hours Of the
day common to both sides and during
these hours at least 1915 of the cable
business is done. This is demon
strated by the accompanying chart.
In the interests of international
business nothing should be done to
interfere in any way with the so-called
flash or instantaneous service, and
the lines should be kept clear to ac-
commodate such messages during the
few business hours common to both
countries; but to continue to confine
the cables to this class of service, as
At present, will utilize only about 25%
of the existing capacity of millions of
property and places on that limited
service all the capital, maintenance
and operating charges.
The limited time and the character
of the business, if best results are to

A provisional modification of an
arrangement which has existed for
many years has been reached between
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, The Anglo-American Cable
Company and the Direct U. S. Gable
Company, under which the cable sys-
tens of these companies now worked
exclusively in business connection
with each other, but operated and
maintained separately, will be oper-
ated in direct physical connection
with each other and with the Western
Union land system.
Two objects are to be attained by
this arrangement:
First, more efficient and econon'i-
cal operation.
Second, the Introduction Of ne.O
forms Of service to the Advantage Of
the public.

The Transatlantic Cable
Situation and Competition

0II00klOJ1 uJl0 ~OSytVSIIGGOSS
The transatlantic cable situation
is as follows:
The Mackay group Of seven ca
bles, including the German cables,
owned by or worked in physical con-
nection with the telegraph lines of
that company form one system.
The French cables comprise an in
dependent system, using both the
Western Ue,ion and the Mackay land
lines for their United States connec-
ton.
In competition with these is the
Western Union group of cables, eight
in all, owned by three separate COM
panies, two Of which are British
companies owning i've Of the eight
cables.
Two only of the British owned
cables terminate in the United States
and all Of them are entirely depen-
dent on the Western Union for their
