TI1E OMAIIA DAILY BEE : WEDNESDAY , JULY 24 , 1805. NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS. t Office , 12 Pearl Street. II. W. Ttltoii , Matingcr. Alderman Shubert , flrowlck and Drown , the members of the committee appointed by the city council to Investigate the bill ot the Council niurts dan and Electric Light com pany , held another seance at the council chamber last evening with Manager Krlght of the company. The dispute between the city and the company , from the company's standpoint , was gone over thoroughly again. Mr. Wright exhibited a letter from the pres ident of the company In Omaha which stated that the Omaha company had formerly mads out Its reports from the carbons ; when a carbon was found burned out the light was reported to have been fully on. The police also kept tab on the lights , and at the end of the month the two reports were always founJ to tally so closely that thq company had lately given up making separate reports , and ac cepted the report of the police as final. That the earn ? plan should meet with results so different when adopted In Council Ulults , to the manager seemed very strange. Bvcry month there has been a large discrepancy between the two reports , but It has always been satisfactorily adjusted by splitting the difference. Now the council has determlnjd to split no more differences , but take the re port of the pollen as the basis for settle ment. As a sample of the difference the police re port showed that one light had been out twenty-two nights In the month , while the company reported It out only three nights. Had the old plan been followed there would have been a compromise , and the company would have received pay for about ten nights. Another place where the company was weak was called to Mr. Wright's attention by Al derman Hrewlck. Right back of his residence there stands a light which Mr. Hrewlck watched very closely. In one month It was out five times , but the company's report showed It out but once. There ore other similar cases , and plenty of them. The com mittee spent a couple of hours In wrangling , but at the wlndup had made no decision as to what sort of a report should be made to the committee of the whole when It meets tomor row morning at 9 o'clock. It Is reasonably certain , however , that the members are with out exception opposed to a compromise of any sort. AVK.U'I'EIIS , ODC. IloiiiilMou Ilr < tM. ' Illw Sale \\V liip iln > .

Ju before the case was submitted , Mr. Orgi ; rose and told the court that he had su pocnaed nineteen lawyers , who were to testl that Fllcklngpr's reputation for truthfulne was bad. "Where are they ? ' " asked the court. "I'll send out for them , " replied Orgs after looking around and seeing that all 1 witnesses had left the court room. "You don't need to send for more th five , " was the judge's response , "for I sh not allow you more than that number , a Mr. Fllcklnger the same number In c tense. " "Then I won't summon any , " said Orgt with some little show of warmth about t collar. After court adjourned Jildge Smith a Organ met In the clerk's office , and a red I debate ensued. The judge having discard : his gown ut authority , Organ made a numl of remarks which he probably would r have made had court been In session. Fllcklnger claims he was called upon y tcrday by several of the attorneys who \u summoned by his opponents , and told them that they would not bo parties to a such attempt. Among them were some of 1 best friends. He' regards the attempt merely a thing ot bluff and blow and blust and believes that Aekwlth and Organ wt fully as pleased as he when they found opportunity to drop the case.

To the Edi tor of The Bee : Having recently returned from a trip to the Big Horn basin , a descrip tion of what I saw while there may bo not without Interest to the readers of The Bee My objective point was the upper Shoshone river In the Big Horn basin , Wyoming. To get there' bid adieu to the cars at Red Lodge , Montana's great coal camp , and an chored In a wagon which , through some pro cess of a playful and lively Imagination , became - came one of the coaches ot the Red Lodge and Meteetse stage line. The route lies In a southerly direction across a mesa that rises high above the little city. From the table land Is commanded an extensive view of portions tions of Montana and Wyoming , a dazzling picture , one of nature's exquisite gems , with Its cordon of mountain ranges , Isolated peaks. sunlU valleys shining with silvery bands fringed with great cottonwoods , In fact , a scene none but a master hand should touch. Leaving the mesa the road plunges Into the bad lands , down a hill simultaneously , then up another , and no sooner Is the descent of one accomplished when the ascent of another be gins , and so It continues through nine long and weary miles. A plccadllly tenderfoot , whoso name has been lost In the shuffle , was the head and only engineer of this skyscraping ing earth delving route , but ho will long live In local fame as Doestlck's bosom friend , the Illustrious * Damphool. Since passing over this travesty of a road another and far more direct one has' been completed by fhe public spirited citizens of Red Lodge. In the hills referred to runs a tiny stream known as Bear creek , where the great Great Creek coal mines are located. The greater portion of the deposit Is covered by United States patent , and owned by a syndicate of Montana and eastern capitalists. PLACER MINING ON CLARK'S FORK. Leaving the hills wo enter the Clark's Fork valley , and reach the station on the river of the same name , some fifteen miles distant from Red Lodge. Along this stream many placer claims are .being worked by means of horses and scra'pers. Though the golden deposits In this valley may not attain the proportions of an Alder , Last Chance or Florence , yet all the claim owners who are working take out dally good pay , which Is confirmed by the frequent shipments of the yellow stuff to Red Lodge and Helena. The valley has not been thoroughly prospected and It Is but reasonable to Infer that the great strikes of this region are yet to be made. Nor , so for as I could learn , has the source of this placer gold been found. A few years ago a railroad line was surveyei up this valley to and through the canyon some fifteen miles away. The proposec route was to have Its terminal at the grea' ' mineral camp of Cooke. A road to this great silver deposit from this side of the range would mean much to this country generally and to Omaha smelters especially. A ride of some thirty-five miles brings us to the bridge which spans the Shoshone river where a postofflce Is established , named Cor belt. Up this stream to the Rattlesnake range of mountains and down to where 1 empties Into the Big Horn river are thou sands upon thousands of acres of the cliolc est bench lands to be found In Wyoming virgin soil possessing great possibilities This now seeming barren waste will sooi blossom Into a garden and become the home of thousands of prosperous farmers. Staunch companies , with ample financial resources are taking out great ditches and canals In order to reclaim these vast tracts. The company at Lovcl on the lower Shoshom has about completed a large ditch , while tut preliminary work of others Is well undei way. During ton days' sojourn I made heidqtiar ters at the Shield ranch , on Cottonwoo < creek , some seven miles above the bridge The present owners of this ranch arc Messrs Herr and McFall , both ex-soldiers , who havi turned their Implements of war Into pick and shovels , with which they are now uncov crlng some of mother earth's hidden treas ure. 3o ure.Jim Ganimcl , a noted prospector , Is asso elated with them In the development of thel , mining properties. When their place grounds were reached a prospector's pan wa placed at my disposal. I selected gravel fror different points and panned out a numbe < of pieces of coarse gold , and every pa snowed up heavy "colors. " The appearanc of tlie gold rough pitted , not smooth In dlcates that It had not been carried far , an ll that the source was not distant , while th fact that the nearer the river bed the coarse t the gold became , \ \ & ' . a sure Indication tha the golden wealth lies In the river channi and tliat these are veritable river diggings. DILL CODY'S HOT SPRINGS. Up the river and adjoining the lower place claims are the Snoshone hot springs. Durln our stay we learned that In the Interim tl : title had passed Into the hands of Coloni W. F. Cody. If true , he la exceedingly foi unato In acquiring a resort In such a hlghl picturesque and romantic region. The Shi shone canyon commences at the hot spring On the right bank a trail has been cut for distance ot four miles. At the end of tl : trail the Box canyon of the Shoshone canyc appears In al' Its awful grandeur. A desli to employ adjectives In profusion comes ovi ; mo while thinking of the wlerd and gloom scene here presented , a scene that could m even be adequately portrayed by the pen < a Dante or the pencil of a Dore. The Do canyon deserves Its name. It appears 111 a huge box set In the Shoshone canyon ar serving as the upper , end of the latter. I frowning walls of granite rise perpendlculi : to great height from the river bed , will the waters seem as If In seething caldrons I this fearful chasm , a mile In length. 1 the lower end of Box canyon my guldi have discovered the source from whence tl gold In their placers come. Scaling the heights above the Custcr v come to Observatory point , where can 1 had a view unparalleled on the America mtlnent. No description will bo attempted , ut Instead a rough outline of what lies be- ow and beyond. At our feet the high walls t the Box canyon marks the line between the leacctul river above and the boiling and codling mass of waters below. About half mile above the canyon the north and south orks of the Shoshone unite-- : The north fork ppears like a huge- silver ribbon studded \lth emeralds , the Innumerable Islands re- einbllnt ; so many gems. The valley grows mailer as the eye scans the scene and soon s lost to view In the west among the snow- .ipptd peaks ot the Shoshone range. Between s and the mountains arc seen scattered long what one of our trio very unpoetlcally escribed as "mustard plasters , " but In real ty are large and well cultivated ranches , 'o the right can bo seen the mountains sur- oundlng the great sliver deposit of the Sun- Ight basin. The view 3f the South Fork , stretching to he left and well In front , shows the .inches In greater numbers , long ribbons of ; reen stretching from the mountain sides nd running to * the river's edge mark the ourscs of dashing streams. Castle Rock , a astellated butte , occupies a place by Itself In he valley , away from Its brother peaks , and appears to good advantage , while the crape f the Ishawood and the natural battlements n the eastern slope gives a charming effect o the scene. Further up the stream loses tsclt In a great canyon , flanked by the five owcrlng peaks , doing sentinel duty over he copper deposits of the South Fork , while till beyond Franc's peak looks down upon vhat Is soon destined to be one of the lead- ng mining camps on earth , but now only known to local fame as the Wood River nlnlng district. The view from Observatory point must be seen to be appreciated , RUSTIC. KANSAS IS SHOUT OF AVI 113 AT. MI1I.TM AVI1I lit * Coiii-ll.- l ( o Slilp ill from Other SlatcN. HUTCHINSON , Kan. . July 23. The Kansas State Millers' association held Its annual con tention hero 'today and compiled the Kansas millers' estimate of the wheat harvest. Re ports are not In from all counties , but stilTl- clent returns have been made to Indicate an 1895 yield of from 0,000,000 to 10,000,000 bushels of wheat In the state , about 40 per cent of which will be good enough to mill. A committee was appointed with authority to negotiate with railways for an emergency te in wheat from Minnesota , the Dakotas. Oregon , Washington and Utah sufficient to meet the demands of Kansas mills. It Is es timated that to keep the leading merchant mills of the state going from 7,000.000 bush els upward must be Imported. As It was ap parent that seed wheat must be Imported to supply the needs of Kansas farmers In certain portions , a committee was authorized to pro ceed at once to arrange for the Importation of Russian hard winter from the Crimea. All the millers express n determination to hold their flour trade If they have to Import wheat throughout the year. They likewise , to a man , declared that the present state of af fairs was never approached , much less par alleled In Kansas. SinnII MlHNfiurl Ilniik IIARRISONVILLE , Mo. , July 23.
