Important capes that are left over from the

Moores case , which was argued the last time

Captain Culver of the Mtlford troop was
ot the state house today , looking none the
worse for his stay at Chlckamauga. Ho
Ha Id that his men were well satisfied with
the treatment while In the service , although
they would like to linvo gone to Santiago.
When they were finally paid off the pay
master complimented them on bclne the
most orderly nnd well-behnvcd troop In the
camp. Captain Cluver says that most of
the gruesome stories that come from the
camps are hatched up by professional mis
chief-makers nnd that there were some few
men In the servlco who commenced their
efforts to stir up dissatisfaction from the
very day that they arrived In camp. They
Beemcd to he so constituted that they muet
find fault and ho Is of the opinion that
such men would make very poor soldiers
In an actual campaign.

The annual Grand Army reunion closed
with n sermon by Chaplain J. G. Tate of the
Second regiment. The largo audience moro
than filled the auditorium nnd the closing
program received the closest attention. The
meeting was presided over by General John
M. Tliaycr. Chaplain Tate took for his text
"They that bo with us arc more than they
that be with them. " He said God raised up
nations for a purpose and this nation waa
undoubtedly brought Into existence for the
purpose of reserving and conserving the
rights of the Individual , whether hebe
born In a nalaco or a hut. God has been
with the people ot this country In Its con
test against Spain , the oppressor , because
the vnr was for the extension of human
liberty and enlightenment.
Speaking of camp life at Chlckamauga ,
Chaplain Tate said that out ot the thlngf
that will happen anywhere there have been
made mountains. It had been stated that
the boys had been starved and had to cat
lottcn meat and wormy hardtack. In proof
that this was not true ho said that he
bought meat and bread for the officers oul
of the same car that supplied the privates ,
The cnr was some distance from some ol
the companies and If any meat was tainted
it became so after It was taken from the
car. This might happen In any household ,
The boys had nlcnty of fresh meat , soft
bread nnd .vegetables , , l ut some persons
seem to thlnl ; the government should have
served nicely cut steaks on silver platters ,
In regard to the conditions of Camp
Thomas , Mr. Tate thought the Iniquity ol
the whole thing began with the division
h hospital. Ho believes that one or two men
should bo made to answer for their con
duct. One man , not a Nebraskan , having
written a book on division hospitals , was
determined to carry out his pet theories
although they were not applicable to camr
hospitals. As a result he excluded all women
nnd civilians , nnd men preferred to stay In
filck quarters rather than go to nn over
worked hospital. One case was cited Ir
which one man was trying to take care ol
twenty-seven convalescent fever patients
This lack of care was not the fault of th (
government , for volunteers offered theh
services and were refused admittance. Aftei
the first few weeks all the sick were sup
plied with every necessary delicacy through
an organization effected by the chaplains.
The dally report from the Third reglmcnl
gives the number of sick In division hos
pital , 118 ; sick In quarters , 98 , which ln <
eludes twenty-three transferred to Pabli
Ueach hospital , where It Is hoped they wil
Improve faster.

TORT COLLINS. Colo. . Sept. 19. ( Spe
cial. ) A few Years ngo the Water Supply
nnd Storage company , which owns the Lari
mer county ditch and "has Us principal head-
iiuartcrs In Fort Collins , found Itself short of
water ; that Is , Its legal appropriation was
Insufficient to Irrigate the 32,000 acres ot
land which lay under Us ditch and which
the ditch was capable of watering provided
It could be run to Its full capacity. In or
der to supply this deficiency the company
began the search for unappropriated water
that could bo brought within reach of Its
system. This was found , but It was found
( lowing down other water sheds. For In
stance , In the Dig Larimer a good-sized
strewn , which has Its rise In northern Colo-
lade and flows northward Into Wyoming nnd
empties Into the North Platte river , a large
amount of water was found that was not
used In Irrigation but only went to Increase
the volume of the North Platte and the lllg
Muddy.
Hut n more serious question was , how to
turn this water over the divide into the basinet
ot the Cache la 1'oudre river , which ( lows
eastward and empties Into the South 1'latte.
Ily tapping the Mlg Laramle on the north
side of Clark's Peak at an altitude of 10,000
feet above sea level It was found that a
certain amount of water could bo tuken
around tha eastern side of the peak and emp
tied Into Chambers' lake , which Is on the
headwaters ot the Cache la Poudre. The
ditch was constructed , at a heavy expense ,
however. It has been In operation for sev
eral seasons and has proven of unestlmable
value to the company constructing It.
This company Is at present engaged upon
r. scheme of oven greater novelty and dar-
l.'ifi. which is nothing less than the bringing
of water from the Grand river over the Con
tinental divide and turning It Into the Cache
la Poudro to further augment the water sup
ply of the Larimer county ditch. As Is
well known , the Grand has Its rise In north
ern Colorado nnd now a down the Pacific
slope. But by tapping It high up In the
raugo a portion of Its flow can be conducted
through a hlRhllne ditch through a pass In
the main range to the eastward.
The ditch has been surveyed , chartered
and a force of men and teams are now at
work upon Its construction and It Is the ex
pectation of Us promoters that it will be
Mulshed in season for next year's use. The
ditch will bo five- miles In length and will
bo ot moro than ordinary cost of construc
tion and maintenance , lying as It docs for
much of ita extent along steep mountain
sides where Us banks are In danger ot
being carried out by land slides , snow slides
or heavy floods.
Another Important work being carried
forward by this company nt the present
time Is the diversion of water from Lost ,
Laramlo and Twin lakes Into Chambers'
| lake , as a further augmentation of their
I water supply. These lakes lie from one to
two miles northeast of Chambers' lake and
I have their outlet Into the lllg Laramle river.
These outlets will be dammed up , the banks
of the lakes raised by diking and new out
lets cut on the opposite sides of the lakes
which will lead Into Chambers' lake. The
dam ai Chambers' lake Is also being recon
structed so that about ten feet more of water
will be retained than heretofore. With the
water thus obtained from these four lakes
the company expects to Increase Us water
supply some fifty cubic feet of water per
second of time.
But as the source of this new water supply
Is fifty or sixty miles distant from the head
gate of the Larimer county ditch some may
question how It Is to be utilized by this
ditch. In explanation It may be said that
the water is made available for Irrigation
by the Larimer county ditch by a system of
exchange. There Is a law on the statute
books of Colorado which says that an Indi
vidual or corporation which shall turn a
certain amount of water into a given stream
at one point shall be permitted to take
from the river at another point an equal
amount of water less a small percentage al
lowed for seepage and evaporation. The
water turned by the company into Chambers'
lake Is carefully measured by means ot a
system of measuring weirs nnd on equal
amount of water less the exceptions men
tioned Is measured out Into the ditch from
the main body of the river.

TELLURIDE , Colo. , Sept. 19. ( Special. )
Mining men from Ophlr say that John E.
Mulkey , D. T. Martin and Perry Davis re
cently located \\hat appears to be the most
Important mineral discovery that has been
made In the Ophlr district In years. For
two seasons past Davis has been prospectIng -
Ing for himself , Mulkey and Martin , In con
sideration of a grub stake furnished by thr
two last named , but with Indifferent suc
cess until the Ophlr strike was made. Their
luck has evidently changed for the better ,
and there are not another three men In
San Miguel county whose prospects for the
future , from a financial standpoint , arc
brighter. The discovery has been the talk
of Ophlr for ten days past and the story
has reached Tellurlde. The gentlemen
have not struck a pocket of rich ore , bul
a vein of mineral that will Inevitably de
velop Into one of the largest and most
profitable mincH In the entire district , II
It continues to carry present values ,
The claim Is located In a little basin Jusl
above Iron Springs , about one mile nnd c
half above Ophlr. The discovery tunnel
was driven on the lead In the path of n
well known snowsllde , the slide In a lonp
course of years having carried away the
loose rock and exposed a small portion ol
the lead. The vein Is from five to seven
feet between walls and composed of gold-
bearing quartz. Twenty tons of the or *
taken out at and near the surface , slight ! )
sorted , was conveyed down to the Sutfolli
{ mill for test run , and yielded $32 per tor
| on the plates. The owners were surprised
To find out what the whole vein , without
sorting , runs a still larger lot. Including
everything between walls , was brought
down nnd treated and It went a little bet
ter than $28 per ton on the plates. Th <
property Is called the Marie Antoinette and
Is becoming very popular. The owner !
have located the extension which gives
them 3,000 feet in length on the vein

TWENTY-SECOND COMES HOME
Veterans of the Santiago Campaign Back in
Quarters nt Fort Orook ,
ONLY A REMNANT OF THE REGIMENT
I.CHK Tlinn n HnHntloti'n Mrrnulli Left

In April No Stop Miule
In Oiiinlin ,
With ranks depleted by Spanish bullets
and disease until but one-third of the orlg-
nal number rem.-lncd ; with their brave
colonel ard many herok- comrades burled
on Spanish roll , wheie they gave their lives
'or their country's honor , the remnants of
the gallant Twenty-second Infantry of the
regular army returned to Omaha yesterday.
Five months ago the regiment left Omaha
with twenty-nine officers nnd 510 men , and
came back to Us old quarters nt Kort Crook
with eleven officers nnd ITS men. Of
the absent ones a large per cent are away
on furloughs owing to sickness , nnd will rc-
loln the regiment later.
The regiment returns In command of
Colonel Van Horn , with Lieutenant Krrpps
as quartermaster , end traveled In standard
sleeping cars , there bolng five of them on
the train , one for the officers nnd four for
the men. The 'train ' came In over the North
western mil almost without the lo s of n
moment's time was 'transferred ' to the Uur-
llngton and taken to Fort Crook. The train
reached Omaha at 7:35. : The troops had a
ileosant trip from Montauk Point west. They
traveled over the New York Central nnd
Lnko Shore to Chicago , and received every
attention looking to their comfort enroutc.
The few who were brought back had every
aprearnnco of health and vigor , and were
bronzed to a drep brown.
There was no attempt to give 'the ' boys a
reception on their arrival in the city. In
fact the time of their stay nt the depot In
the city WHS too short to permit of anything
of this kind. Captain IVMer and T. 1' . Mahoney - ,
honey of the quartermaster's department
were there to liarn If anything were needed
to add to the comfort of the soldiers , but
beyond this there were none but the usual
habitues of the depot.
Scene * nt the Pout.
There was a lively time about Kort Crook.
The home-coming of the Twenty-second
regiment was the most notable occasion
that has ever happened at the nrw army
post. Although less than 200 of the regi
ment returned to the post , there was a
fair sized crowd on hand to greet them.
Buggies and wagons to the number of a
score or more were tied to the hitching
posts about the fort long before the special
train pulled In. Farmers from the sur
rounding country nnd n few folks from
Omaha were on hand to welcome the boys ,
but there was no formal ceremony In con
nection with the return of the regiment.
As the quarters had been prepared for the
gallant fighters on Sundnjr there was very
little to do on Monday morning to make
them ready for their occupants. The rooms
had been cleaned , and the lamps filled. Food
had been provided , and at noon dinner was
served the regiment In the big moss hall.
It was the fiist inral the boys ha eaten In
their home mess-hall for five months , nnd
the manner In which they attended It was
sufTlcicnl evidence of their aprpeclat'lon. ' "It
seems good to be back here again , " was a
familiar remark that came from all sides ,
and the smiles that played" around the
men's faces gave emphasis to their words.
The special train arrived ao Fort
Crook a few minutes before 10
o'clock. It backed up alongside
of thr depot Elation , on the east
sldo of the parade grounds , and the men
Jumped out with n shout of glee. Only one
man was sufllclently Kick to be taken to the
post hospital , and he was Immediately placed
In charge of ihs surgeons. Major Van Horn
Is In command of the soldiers end will be
the senior officer at the post until the newly
appointed colonel , Harry C. Egbert , arrives
here. Colonel Egbert , the now commander of
the Twenty-second , was lieutenant colonel
of the Sixth infantry during the Cuban cam
paign. He was shot and wounded , and for
gallantry in action was promoted to the po
sition of co'onel to succeed Colonel Wlko'f
when the latter was killed. The nnw lulouel
Is now In an iirmy hospital In the east , but
Is recuperating rapidly and M expected here
soon. It will probably be several mouths
before the Twenty-second reaches anything
like Its full complement of men.
