MOOSE CREEK PLACER
GROUND LOOKS GOOD
LEASERS MAKE EXPENSES DO.
ING PRELIMINARY WORK.
OWNED BY WALLACE MEN

Good reports come from the Moose
creek placer operations in which
group of Wallace men are interested.
The ground Is situated below the site
of the old camp Of Moose City, where
years ago the shallow diggings were
worked out and proved wonderfully
rich. The Wallace people own 800
acres along the creek, covering ground
in which bed rock was too deep for
successful work with the limited
means at the disposal Of the early-daS
miners The ground has been held for
a good many years by its present own
crs. as much work as possible being
accomplished each year. Four years
ago they had succeeded in getting
sawmill in operation and had cut quite
a large supply Of lumber for the con-
structien Of a bedrock flume. inc
great forest fires that summer, how
ever, destroyed everything. making 1t
necessary to begin over again.
Lease Part Of Ground.
This wear the owners leased go acres
being three lower claims at the june
tion of Moose and Independent creeks,
to John Tibbetts and John Moore. Just
below these claims the canyon narrows
and there is succession OF rapids
where will be the natural dump when
the ground Is being worked. 1t was
assumed that there must be consider
able gold in the creviccs and potholes
in these rapids and the summer mas
heen largely devoted to building
f,ume of whipsawed lumber to convey
the water while the bedrock was being
cleaned. As this was practically the
only work accomplished by the leas-
ers. the statement in recent letter
from l.. l.. Sweet that the leasers were
making expenses is regarded as highiy
encouraging. Expenses means that
four men engaged in the work are
making wages after paying royalty
of 20 uer cent to the owners 1t Is ma
turally reasoned that II they nave
made expenses cleaning bedrock IN
these rapids, when they get into the
ground that contains the gold next
year they should make a cleanup OF
i1,ther large proportions.

The attempt Of the Press Times to
hold the sehriffs office responsible for
the tragedy and reflect upon the effic-
ency Of the deputies on duty at Burke
on Labor Day is bitterly condemned
by the people Of the Canyon city, ire
spective of politics. AS a matter Of
fact. Sheriff McCabe appointed four
special deputies in addition to the reg
ular deputy on duty at Burke to pre-
serve order during the Labor Day cele-
bration, and that they performed their
duties well was recognized by the hun
dreds who were present. All Of these
deputies were continually on duty from
morning until late at night, until the
dance broke up and the people Of
Burke had generally gone to their
homes and the last special train had
taken away the visitors. 1t was late

character Extensive drifting has been
done on the vein with an equally good
showing, but the management has
concluded that a permanent ore shoot

level that could be run on that side

The company has now decided to
sink on the ore at the point where the
vein was cut in the main tunnel. This
will demonstrate the extent of the ore
at considerable depth, and if the show
ing warrants 1t the company probably
will start a tunnel on the Idaho side
on the Little North Fork above Null
Ian. Here tunnel half mile long
would tap the vein at depth Of over
1000 feet below the present work. and
would also have the additional advant-
age of railroad transportation within

SE|DEL At SESSION
OF FARM TRUSTEES
Says Penal Colony Board
Expects to Start Buildings
With Prison Labor.

George Seidel is attending meeting
of the board of trustees of the state
penal farm at Indianapolis this after
noon and evening.
Mr.. Seidel said today that the board
expects to start the first building in
thirty days. The buildings will be
dormitories, which will be made as
comfortable as possible for the in
mates. The quarters will not be barred
or locked in any way other than or
dinary domitories.
State prisoners from the penitentiary
at Michigan City will start the work
on the new buildings. 1t is probable
that most of the dormitory construc-
tion work will be carried on by these
prisoners
Mr.. Seidel explained that judges in
city courts or in other courts having
jurisdiction to sentence to the county
Jail will have power to send prisoners
to the penal farm for sentences of
not less than a year.
Judges must use their own discre-
ton in sending the men. Even those
charged with intoxication whom the
judges believe could be helped by pc
nal farm work and reform system,
will be given sentences of thirty or
sixty days instead of eleven days.

COUNTY TREASURER
SET FOR TAX RUSH
Chamness Expects Unusual
Number of Last Minute
Payers at Office.

The semi-annual tax rush at the
county treasurer's office probably will
be heavier this fall than usual. The
van of last minute taxpayers is expect
ed in about two weeks and the rush
will grow until the closing OF the
doors, Nov 3.
There are fewer advance payments
this year than in the two previous Sec
ond installment periods. There is ap-
proximately $225,575 to be collected
of which some will be delinquent.
Last year the total collection should
have been s224.SOO on the November
installment. The delinquency was
heavier At the close of the year the
total delinquent tax in the county was
$19, 1897, but Treasurer Chamness has
succeeded in collecting fair per cent
of this.
There were 1886 delinquent polls
last wear. The number of voters who
fail to pay is not expected to increase
this year.

SALE Of TAGS
FOR HOSPITAL
ION SATURDAY

Every citizen wearing hospital tag
will be the style next Saturday.
The tags cost any coin or bill that
can be spared to help carry on charity
cases and charity work in Reid Memo
rial hospital.
There will be no opportunity of es-
cape, if an inclination is shown, as
there will be fifty street stations and
about one hundred boxes in stores
where tags can be had.
Already one hundred women have
declared their intention Of assisting in
the tag day movement and in making
it larger than last year. A little more
than $500 was collected from the sale
of tags last year, the little squares of
cardboard bringing from one cent to
$25. Tag day plans are being made
Memorial hospital. Enough Tags have
been printed so that every voter can
wear one and buy two or three addi-
tional for his family.
While no special amount will be ask
ed for tags, the ladies desire to en-
courage larger donations this year, as
the amount collected is hardly ade-
quate to take care of all charity cases
in the hospital, where treatment is
necessary regardless of money.
The ladies will be provided with ta-
bles and will work in couples. They
will start early in the morning SO
that men can appear at their business
places wearing tags. In stores tags
will be hung beside boxes, and the
public will be permitted to take tag
and drop the money In Eox.

tanic European Struggle.
PRAISE FOR ENGLAND
If Limited Fighting Machines
Follow, Waste of Life Will
Result in Great Good for
World.

In an interesting address to the
high school students on the European
war, William Dennis of Washington,
D. c., formerly of Richmond. declared
the policy of gigantic ornaments
which had been pursued for years by
the European powers was the imme-
diate cause of the conflict. He also
declared that England had done every
thing in her power to avert the ca
tastrophe, and that the English white
papers,, recently publish shc wing
the course pursued by the British gov
ernment to preserve the peace of Eu-
rope, would always stand as mOnu-
ment to England's superb diplomacy.
"The peace party in England is very
powerful and very influential" de-
clared Mr. Dennis, land if Sir Edward
Gray, British foreign minister, had not
absolutely convinced parliament and
the British people that every effort
had been put forth to avert the war, it
is almost certain that England would
never have entered the conflict"
Mr.. Dennis was assistant solicitor of
the United States department of state
under Secretaries Root and Knox, is an
international lawyer of high repute,
and represented this government be-
for The Hague tribunal in the Orinoco
steamship case, involving the United
States and Venezuela. and before the
Mexican boundary commission. He is
the son of Prof. David w. Dennis of
Earlham college.
Sees Both Sides.
AS a young man Mr.. Dennis said in
his address, he was a student both in
Scotland and Germany, and he had the
viewpoints of both Germany and Eng
land concerning the war.
THE primary causes of this war
were not created in a minute" Mr..
Dennis said "They included the strug-
gle of the Slavs and Teutons for the
possession of Constantinople; the
hatred Germany and France have
borne each other since the Franco
Prussian war; Germany's jealousy of
Britain because of her many posses
sions; England's jealousy of Germany s
great oversee trade, and Austria's re-
sentiment of Russia's intrigues in the
Balkans"
In giving his opinion of the immedi-
ate causes for the war, Mr.. Dennis said
the crisis was precipitated by the as

BRIDGES DISPOSAL
RESTS ON REPORT
Span at Twelfth Street Open
Until Mueller Makes His
Finding.

Bridge Engineer Jack Mueller of
New Castle did not appear today to
report the condition of the Twelfth
street bridge to che county commits
sionerS.
The commissioners therefore post
poned the hearing until Saturday when
Mueller will be requested to be pres
ent. The report is desired not later
than Saturday as the bridge may be a
menace to traffic. If this is the case
the commissioners believe that tempo
rary repairs can be made which will
hold the bridge for another year.
The sinking amounted to about
twelve inches at one corner. The
bridge was higher than the roadway
but is not far below it. This is said to
be the result of rotted cross timbers,
which can be made temporarily safe
for ordinary traffic.
