England soon ended. and Mammoth
cave was saved.
Echo river Is a feature Of the cave
that especially attracts the scientist.
The cave is in five tiers or stories,
and at the lowest Of these the river Is
reached. 1t is about 27O feet below

no one knows whence, and goes-no
one knows where. Only a small por-
ton of the river is accessible to visit
ors. and that only during the dry sea-
son. During the heavy rains of spring
and autumn, this mysterious stream
fills to the top Of the great River
Hall, plotting out the Dead Sea and
the River Styx, which are parts Of
this underground stream. 1t Is pos
sible, under favorable conditions, to
traverse it for a half mile in the low,
fat-bottomed boats. which ply on it's
surface. The acoustic properties of
the walls rising from it, and arching
above 1t, are well-nigh perfect, and
it's wonderful echoes are an unfailing
source of amusement to the merry
travellers hat cross it, in constant
wonder at it's teeming horde of sight
less fishes. c~rustaceans, leeches,
beetles INC crickets. What need of
even rudimentary eyes for those
creatures, doomed to dwell in per-
petual night?

NEW POWER PLANT
ONE OF THE GREATEST PROJECTS
NEXT TO BELLE FoURcHE
IRRIGATION SCHEME.
COST ONE MILLION DOLLARS
It is Being Built Near Lead and VIII
Be Completed Before Next Winter
Horsepower.

Lead.-The greatest power project
how under way in the west, with the
single exception of the Belle Fourche
Irrigation and power project of the
United States government, is the con-
struction of a S $1,000, 900 electric pow
er plant by the famous Homestake
Mining company. The plant will be
utilized by the company to operate the
machinery in it's various mines and
mills, which annually contribute mill.
Ions of dollars to the gold supply OF
the world.
The plant is being constructed on
Spearish creek, many miles from the
Homestake mine, and power will be
transported overland from that point
to the mining company's property. The
miles and miles of tunnels which are
a part of the power plant have been
completed and the cement work in
them is SO far advanced that within a
comparatively short time this, which
is one of the most expensive and i'm
portant parts of the work, will be
completed and the tunnels ready to
turn water through them.
The concrete dams, reinforced with
steel pilings and bar steel, have been
completed, the bitches dug and tiled
and other preliminary work on the big
plant done. All of the work has been
carried on under the direction of the
company's own officials, and the install
lation of the massive machinery in
the big plant also will be lone under
the direction of the company's ex-
perts.
The plant when in operation will be
capable, if necessary, of furnishing a
horse power,of 10000.

by Inspector.

Kansas City.-When the Golden
State Limited to Chicago pulled n
the Union depot recently, Hal" Coop
er, the Rock Island pilot, heard a

years old, told the pilot that he had
climbed into the box at Ell Paso. Tex.
and had intended to remain there for a
ride of about fifty miles. At the next
stop, however, a train inspector shot
the bolts, fastening the lid Of h box.

HER FLAT DAYS ARE ENDED
Hetty Green to Move From Hoboker
to New York Hotel in May-To
Reside With Son.

New York.-More high life for Het,
ty Green. The little fiat in Hobo
ken was closed on May L. and Mrs,
Green, it is understood, will reside
with her son, Col. Edward H. Green,
at the Waldorf.
No one will undertake to say how
long Mrs. Green will remain at the
Waldorf. For there were predictions
when she moved Ito the Plaza a lit
tie over a ear ago that she had
thrown economy to the winds. She had
done nothing of the kind. High life
palled on her and she went back.
But Colonel Green is a hearty man.
who can't be held under a bushel nor
in a Hoboken nat, and he insisted on
seeing some of the good things OF
life. Already Mrs. Green has spent
several days at the Waldorf with her
son and she seemed to like the life
there.

MORMON HOME IN A CLIFF
Unique Dwelling Place OF Family Of
Mormons In the State OF

Reno, Nevada.-The state Of Utah
does not, by any means. contain all OF
the people who are known as Nor

far-away days when Brigham Young
first established the church at Salt
Lake City, the Mormons have become
more or less scattered. Especially Is
his the case in the Pacific coast
states. Outside of Utah, perhaps Ida

A Missionary Tree.

A missionary, during a Lenten tea,
said, pointedly:

all over the country. But perhaps you
don't know what a missionary tree is
A missionary tree is one whose profit
goes entirely to missions.
"a Roxborough farmer has in his ap.
ole orchard a golden pippin tree that

A Florida woman has an orange tree

New Guinea. A California nut farmer
devotes a walnut tree to the spread

Missionary trees" the speaker end
ed, are very good things, but the
principle that underlies them need not
be confined to farms and farmers"

ARE RELUCTANT TO REBUILD
Stockholders Nay Decide Against III
Fated Site This Time.
ESTIMATES OF Loss UNCHANGED


Investigation as 70 the origin Of the fire
that destroyed the big implement building

The belief r. that Il was the result Of spon-
taneous combustion from the oily dust and
waste on the second floor, where a com
pany had it's mixing plant for the manu-
featuring OF a floor sweeping compound.
The compound IL composed OF sawdust
soaked IN oil. It was near this room where

due 70 the oily nature Of the noors and
surroundings that the Ere spread 30 rapidly

unes given yesterday morning.
The question Of rebuilding on the Inflated
site, where three big buildings have been
reduced TO smoke and ashes. involving a
loss OF fully $4,000. is being discussed by
the officers Of the construction company.
The belief was held yesterday that the
stockholders would be most reluctant to
again expose their money where Il has met
such persistent loss. The stockholders esti-
mate that their loss in the two fires has
been nearly sioO00.
