Marietta Work Progressing.

Work on the Marietta group near Chickamin Glacier is re- ported developing into an in- teresting stage under the di- rection of MT. Walker Ravens. of San Francisco.
 The tunnel driven through a spur of the glacier to uncov- CT the intersection of several important veins is nearing the objective, according to late re- ports, and speculation is rife among the prospeetors of that section as to what will be re- vealed when the vein contacts are reached. Herald readers will recall that float gold ore of the free milling type run ming many thousands of dollars to the ton was found on the property during. the past year or two and it is believed that the source of the rich ore may lie under the glacial mass through which the ice tunnel is being driven. This view has been sustained to some extent by the recent discovery of pieces of similar ore in the tunnel as drifting advanced.
 Additional supplies were taken up to the property dur ing the past week and it is un- derstood that work is to contin- ue as long as snow conditions permit.

B|G POWER PROJECT
 IS 10 BE RUSHED


 power development project will be carried to completion at the earliest date possible and is expected to be completed within the coming year was the pleasing information given to the Herald this week by MT. Willis T. Batcheller, president of the Portland Canal Power Company, who arrived here from Seattle Thursday in company with MT. A. T. Brock, who represents California and other Pacific Coast interests who are backing the big $3,- 000,000 project.
 Outlining the company pro posals, MT. Batcheller said the project is to be pushed with all dispatch. Twenty-one men are now employed on survey of the power and reservoir sites on Davis River and a prelimi- nary survey of the route of the power lines from Davis River to Hyder is also to be made
 All the necessary field work is expected to be completed this fall before weather condit- ions necessitate a suspension of such activities.
 The development program of the company contemplates the construction this winter of the 800-foot power tunnel which will convey the water from the dam to the power plant. This will be 12 feet in diameter, with the intake about 14 mile above the power house, which will be of concrete and located on tidewater. Construction work on the dam is projected to start during the low water period in March. The dam will be located a short distance above the power house and vii. be of sufficient height to de velop a 350-foot head for the initial installation. The dam will also be constructed in such manner that it can be in creased to 500 feet when pow CT demands require.
 The storage reservoir will have a storage capacity of 30,- 900 acre-feet and will be about 2 miles long by a half mile wide. This will be greatly in- creased by the raising of the dam to the ultimate of 500 feet but the initial storage capacity will be ample to insure an ad- quate supply of water through out the year.
 Electrical energy will be de- rived from three 5000 horse power generating units of the vertical type, two of which will be used in producing the init ial power development of 10.- 900 horsepower. The third unit will be held in reserve. Devel- oped to it's ultimate extent, the plant will be capable of pro- ducing 26,000 horsepower.
 Duplicate transmission lines extending along the west shore of Portland Canal will carry the power from the plant to Hyder and Stewart districts and it is also planned to extend a power line from Stewart to the Marmot River district on the east shore of Portland Can- al.
 The company expects to spend $50,000 between now and the close of the year on the engineering work alone, while the full initial program will in- yolye expenditures of approxi-

 The judge failed to sec how a little slap in the facc' could give Mrs. Nicloni a black eye and beat her so badly that she found it nec- essary to appeal to the police for help. She stated on the stand that her husband struck her in the face, knocked her down. put his knee on her abdomen and attempted 10 choke her. In the melee that ensued she managed to bite him on the finger and also to strike him with a bottle. She denied that she threat ened him with a carving knife.

 If he was the only man they had who could crack a safe the job might be delayed: whereas, with nothing to 1o but open the safe. any one of the gang could take Skinnys place - and there prob ably would be no time lost in some ones doing so.
 We knew that Hcttin in any case would communicate with his go-between and the Big Shots gang to advise them of MT. Murkman's and his own departure, and he was given every opportunity 10 do so.

 The pigs feet were acceptable but the dinner was not prompt enough.

He followed this with a left hook to the right eye, giving him an advantage which, she said. he followed by other rough tactics. She screamed for help and some ono notified the police.
