BROUGHT UP AN OLD PRECEDENT TO WORRY Fill.
BUSTERS AGAINST THE RIVER
AND HARDOR BILL

Washington, Sept. 1SAThe Sen
ate fflibuster against the rivers ami
iharbor appropriation bill met its first
effective parliamentary check yester-
day when long forgotten precedent
was revived from the records of the
thirty first congress to hamper those
who are trying to talk the bill to
deatll.
The precedent was a ruling made
by former Vice-Prestdent Levi P.
Morton that senator occupying the
floor could not 'yield" to another ex-
cept by unanimous consent. 1t was
invoked to force Senator Kenyon,
who was in the fourth day of a
speech against the bill, to continue
talking in order to hold the floor
instead of yielding to other oppon-
ents of the bill in order to secure a
few minutes rest
Senator Bryan OF Florida, made
the point and quoted Vice President
Morton's ruling, which was made
during a democratic fiEibuster against
the Force bill of 1891. Senator Rob-
inson, occupying the chair, in the a5-
senee of Vice President Marshall, sus-
tanned the point of order and the
Senate, by vote of % to "a. laid on
the table an appeal from the decis-
ion made by Senator Snoot. Six
democrats voted with the republicans
against the ruling.

VALDEZ QUARTZ PROPERTY
 IS SHOW!NG UP VALUES

Valdez, April 1 Superintendent Ray Willard arrived in this city with the first cleanup of the Granite Gold Mining Com pany, after a twclye-day run by the mill The ore on the dump averaged $1000 to the ton, and Is the richest thing in sight in the entire Valdez mining country, ac cording to the Valdez newspapers.
 Moreover the vein on this mine which is now being worked has wIcned to seven feet with its richness perfectly sustained
 While it was thought that it would be a close second to the Cliff mine, now famous for its wonderful productivity the first run of the mill on the Granite Mining Com pany's property shows that it will far out rival the Cliff
 Many of the original exploiters of the property now owned by the Granite Min ing Company were identified with the Cliff property, but since last fall Jatct Ljnde- berg of Nome is the principal owner, and with him are Senator Willard of the Cliff mine and J. E. ChjI0erg of Seattle
 It vas during his visit last fall that L;ndebers became interested in this prop erty and was induced to make an invest ment, after he had been shown its assay values
 The mill run shows the ore to average higher than they had been led to believe by the assays. MT. Willard says that the vein Is extensive and there is an u5un- Gant supply of ore awaiting mining on the properties of the company

lard water front are raising their struc- lures so that they will be above the new surface of .he lake With the dredging and blowing out of the barriers between Lake Union and Lake Washington the level of Lake Washington will be lowered six feet, so that it will be the same as that of Lake Union and there will then be q level waterway from Lake Washing ton to the east end of the canal lock.
 The canal is big job and will cost lot of money. The first estimate was S2.275,- O0o for the locks and S1000000 for dreig ing. It k probable that it will take more than that. The government k to pay for the locks and the city and county for the dredging
 The purpose of the canal is to furnish a direct waterway from the ocean to Lakes Union and Washington On the shores of Lake Union are number of factory sites These sites will be of ea:y access with the canal completed And all that district aruunI Lake Washington. and espe- cjally that large part near Renton, can be served better with tho canal, for then ships can anchor rlgh, at the wh4rves and much time and money will be saved And last, but by no means least, is the fact that with the canal completed there will be fre-h water ha~oor in which ships can go and let the basna,Ia~ drop off. That one phase alone will save snjpowuctS thou sands of dollars annually.
 Work on the canal Is being rushed and it is expected that the first ship can go through early next year. Much has to be done before that time but i, is likely that when the canal + ready everything else will be A number of bridges will have to be built.

The main structure of the locks k already finished and in a month it will be completed.
 The big gates are on their way from Pittsburgh. and by the time they arrive the locks will be ready for them. These gates are huge ones. They will be ffty->ix feet hiea and will weigh 1000 tons. There are five sets fir the large locks and two sets for the small lock- For each set of gates there will be an electrical apparatus 10 con tr.I them When a ship wants 70 go through a lever will be pulled al the first set. the big gates will swing shut and the locks will ill un.
