tical mining men show that the auri-
ferrous gravel underneath the waters
Of this pool is unusually rich, and the
engineers have figured u a plan to
work 1t which will cost but a small
fraction of the wealth above the bed
rock.
Hartman's bar is a mammoth reef
of granite which crosses the course
Of the Middle Fork of the Feather
river. and above the bar is a fault
oyer which the water falls. The pool
is between these two Instructions and
is a natural trap which has doubtless
caught the placer gold washed down
from the hills for countless ages.
That the foregoing statement is based
on something more substantial than
mere hope" is proved by the tests
of the engineers already referred to
and by fact that the bars of Willow
Creek. which empties into this pool,
are credited with a yield of $6,000,-
600 in gold.
Among the various methods that
were tried in the past to work this
ground was the building of a dredge,
from which a six-foot caisson was
sunk to reach bedrock, The huge
boulders encountered made this plan
impracticable, though the upper
gravel was found to contain $f.00 per
yard. As bedrock is approached the
gravel should naturally be richer, as
may be gathered from Mr.. Miller's
report, in which he states that he re-
covered $12.2O in gold from half a
cubic yard of gravel that he hoisted
personally from one place.
After proving the richness of the
gravel, Mr.. Miller and his engineers
decided upon the following plan OF
operation. A dam thirty-six FEET
high, built of sawed timber and ce-
ment, will divert the water to a fun
six feet by nine feet, with a ma.
mum capacity of 500 second feet ani
this will carry the water from ffe
river over the cliffs. The water viii

NEW YORK. Aug. 4,-"Before this

somebody Is going TO get into trou-
ble." declared Herbert X. Limburg.

after he had appeared before SUI
Ipreme Court justice to ask the dis
missal of a motion OF MIS-. Helen DE
Bower. who divorced his client. 20
set aside an alimony agreement made
a decade ago.
| Counsellor Idmburg declined TO
elaborate on his statement at this
| time.
The agreement in dispute between
husband wife IL alleged To have been
entered into between them at the
trial OF, her action for a divorce In IN
| Illinois court and TO have been incor-
lporated in the decree awarded her.
Limburg ridiculed the idea that a
portion of a decree OF an Illinois court
could be set aside by a tribunal OF an
other State. II Mrs. DeBower sim
cerely wishes to have the agreement
| set aside and Is speaking in good faith
when she charges that II was OBJ
tanned from her at a time when she
was in no condition TO enter into such
an agreement. Limburg declared she
must begin an action TO that emu IN
the State OF Illinois.
In her compliant Mrs. DeBower
charges that when her husband rep
resented at the time the agreement
was made his income was $4,000 a
year and that ne possessed assets OF
s75, 900, he grossly misrepresented his
financial condition. She asserts he at
that time had an income or xloo,Ooo
and assets OF at least 100000. The
agreement gave her $4,000 In cash
and securities and alimony OF $l'soo
a year.

an income Of more than $15O.OOo a

wife at least $65. 900 a year. Mrs. De-

Daniel w Blumenthal, who ap-

SLEEPS NIGHTS IN

Young Unwed Mother Goes in
Rags to Dress Child in
Comfortable Clothes.

NEW YORK. Aug. 4-Nellie Kelly.
twenty-four, clad in tAttered clothes
and sleeping in . park TO save money
TO buy dainty garments for her ive-
week-old child. was arrested for va
Erancy yesterday. Holding the we'll
dressed infant TO her breast in Wash
ington Heights Court, she told Magis-
trste Raphael Tobias that her rela-
tives would not accept her. and that
she couldn't stand to see the little
one wear rags" so she sacrificed her
own personal appearance for the
child's sake.
For nve nights the young unmsr-
ried mother and her child slept in
small park at l36th street and Ans
terdam avenue. Neighbors reported
the case TO William Moore OF tho
Children's Society. Although she
earned enough as a domestic TO cloths
and feed herself she said:
"The baby was so beautiful that
wanted IL to have beautiful things.
1t was easy for me to go without food
and a bed when / could use the money
to buy clothing for the baby"
During her recital OF sacrifice sho
had undergone through her sense OF
mother love. Nellie Kelly would allow
no one in the court room to touch
would be taken from her. Magistrate
Tobias committed her to st. Mary's
Home.
When asked how she had protected
the child from the rain in the park,
the mother displayed a rubber blanket
which she had bought to cover the
infant at night. She also had warm
comforters and a pillow, all for the
child. For herself she bought little.
Nellie Kelly said she had resided
with a married sister and the latters
husband until a few days before the
child was born. She added she had
been ordered from the house when her
brother-in-law learned of her ap-
preaching motherhood.
On her discharge from the hospital
where the child was born she obtained
employment as a domestic. Her health
was too impaired to permit full-time
work. but she said she could have had
many comforts that she denied her
self that the baby could look like
other children that had good clothes"

The girls eyes dwelt lovingly for
some time on the far-fung line of

Soiled by the tramp through the thick
dust the evening before. Indeed, it
was a very charming young woman,
her dress and appearance quite suf-

of a sleeper in one of the rooms she
passed, and a melancholy-lOOking
Chinaman, apparently engaged in
chamber work at the further end of
the hall.

shine, and clear mountain air. The
board walk ended at the corner Of the
hotel, but a narrow cinder path con-
