A the result of a third csucu held )
yenterday afternoon by the democratic 1- j
dermen-elect U was .stated that the ent'r
lint oC appointments, with the exception of i
Louis Zurmaehlen for city clerk, had been j
wiped off the slste mnd that unless an
agreement could be reached at a final
caucus, to be held this afternoon, the
matter would have to be fought out at the
meeting of thenew city coancll tonight.
That the entire slaa with the exception
of city clerk has been wiped out,la taken
to Indicate that the opposition to the ap
pointment ' of Churl Nicholson as chief
of the fire department lias taken a more
serious turn and that his friends among
the aldermen-elect have taken this course
te try to force tHe bands f those who are
known to favor appointing another man. J
It was stated yesterday, that the appoint- j
ment of Are chief would now likely go to
James Cotter, an old time member of the
department, or to. John Bates, former
chief. '
When seen after. 'the caucus yesterday
afternoon one of the aldermen-elect de
clared that the sulfation was unchanged,
while others admitted that the entire slate,
with the- exception, of city clerk, had been
wiped clean. One of the aldermen insisted
that the list of prospective appointments
which had been published as having been
decided upon, was nothing more than an
"expression' of preference" and that the
list wag liable to be changed at any time.
Frank E. Tost, the young man who seeks
the appointment of city electrician, la mak
ing a hard flM for It and his friends are
bringing fell the. pressure, they can on the
aldermen-elect . te name him In . place of
the present Incumbent of the office, James
O. Bradley. Mr. Bradley's friends are
confident that the incoming city council
cannot afford to turn him down and place
a less experienced man In this position.
The slat decided upon at the first cau
cus, which la now said to have been wiped
out, placed the different appointments at
the disposal of the city council, as fol
low: Chief of fire department, Charles
Nicholson; city clerk, Louis Zurmuehlen,
Jr.; deputy city clerk, Lee Evans, city
physician, Dr. M. A. Tlnley; city electri
cian. J. O. Bradley; street commissioner.
A. K. Avery; custodian of city hall. Chris
Jensen; poundmaster, Fred Stone, colored;
poll tax collector, P. O. Mlkesell; sidewalk
Inspector, William Hoyt.
While the aldermen-elect are meeting
with all kinds of woe. Mayor-elect Macrae
Is as Without his troubles. He has the
appointing of eighteen men on the police
force, and he has no leas than about SOO

Charles Jones Tells Police He Is
Victim of HlarhOTaraaea.
A stranger giving the name of Charles
Jones complained to the police last night
that he had been held up and robbed of
tit by two men on North Second street
near the Indian creek bridge. Jones said
he was on his way to the Ogden hotel
when two men who were standing in the
shadow of the Quin company's lumber yard
approached him and asked him the time.
He replied that he did not know, as he
did not have a watch. The tallest of the
two men then said: "Well, perhaps you
got some coin about you, and if so you
had better hand It over and don't lose any
time about it."
Jonea hesitated, when the other fellow
shoved a revolver dangerously close to
Jones' face, with instructions to bold up
bis hands. Jones did as he was told Wnd
the taller of the two men then went
through his pockets, securing tit.
Jones wss unable to give any description
of the robbers beyond that one was tall and
the other short.

SEW DRAINAGE LAW FOR IOWA
Lawten Hart Bill Beady to Rsport to
Legislators at Our. '
COMPREHENSIVE AND FAR-REACHING BILL
May Set Pass Because of InsnftV-lent
Time to Give It Doe Considera
tion la Both Branches
f Assembly.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, la-, April . (Special. )
The drainage bill, on which able lawyers
have been at work all the legislative ses
sion, has at last been reported and printed
and Is ready for the consideration of the
legislature the coming week. The bill Is
one of the most comprehensive and far
reaching measures ever attempted, and If
it Is defeated it will probably be because
of the feeling that there Is not sufficient
time to properly consider every phase of
the same. The bill will affect thousands
of acres of land In the state, provided
It becomes a law, and will make possible
the reclamation of many large areas in
the state. The first section ststes plainly
the purpose of the act as follows:
The board of supervisors of any county
shall tave Jurisdiction, power and auth
ority at any regular, special or adjourned
session, to establish a drainage district or
districts, and to locate and establish levees,
and cause to be constructed as herein
after provided any levee, ditch, drain or
water course, or to straighten, widen,
deejen or change any natural water course
In such county, whenever the same will
he of public utility or conducive to the
public health, convenience or welfare,
and the drainage of surface waters from
agricultural lands shall be considered a
public benefit and cmducive to the public
health, convenience, utility and welfare.
Provision for Petition.
There is provision for a petition by
land owners, designation of an engineer,
survey of lands and laying out of the
drain, filing of plats and profiles, notice to
the land owners of a heating, filing for
claims of damages, assessment of damages,
letting of contracts, assessing the cost.
Issuance of bonds, etc. In regard to esti
mates of the benefits of the drain and pay
ment of costs the bill says:
In estimating the benefits as to the lands
not traversed by said Improvement they
shall not consider what benefits such lands
will receive after some other Improve
ments shall have been constructed, but only
the benefits which will be received by rea
son of the construction of the improve
ment in question as it affc1s an outlet
for the drainage of such lands. Bald tax
shall be levied upon the lands of the own
ers so benefited in the ' ratio aforesaid
and collected In the same manner an other
taxes for county purposes, and the funds
so collected shall be kept as a separste
fund and shall be paid out only Tor pur
poses properly connected with such im-
Erovement on the order of the Board of
upervlsors.
Agects the Railroads.
One clause which may cause much
trouble relates to the payment of costs
by railroad companies of construction and
the damage In crossing right-of-way. It
follows:
Whenever the Board of Supervisors shall
have established any levee or drainage dis
trict or change ot any natural water
course, and the levee, ditch, drain or water
course crosses the right-of-way of any rail
road company, and the place where and
the manner and method of crossing such
right-of-way shall have been determined
as provided In the preceding section, such
railroad company shall within thirty days
after being notified by the county auditor
to construct the same and the time within
which the work must be completed, pro.
ceed to construct such levee. ditch, drain
or change of natural water course In ac
cordance with the plans and specifications
as shown by the plat and profile of the
engineer. It such railroad company shall
fail, neglect or refuse to do so within the
time fixed in such notice, the auditor shall
cause the work to be done under the su
pervision of the engineer In charge of the
improvement and the railroad oompany
shall be liable for the cost thereof, to be
collected by the county in any court hav
ing Jurlsfllctl' ll t,-"r proceedings in
- Hon to railroads shall be same as pro
vided for uiUi,.uoai piopcuy owners
within the district, except that the cost
of constructing the improvement across its
right-of-way shall be considered as an ele
ment of Its damages by the appraisers
thereof; and the commissioners to assess
benefits shall fix and determine the actual
benefits to the property of the railroad
company within the levee or drainage dis
trict and make return thereof with their
regular return.
IV ot for Extradition.
There will be no law enacted In Iowa
so that a person may be extradited to. an
other state for trlaj for a crime which the
person committed while In Iowa. This
much has been determined upon by the. leg
islators. The case of Mrs. Dye of Boone
started the movement, for she was accused
of sending poison to a woman tn Pierre,
S. D. The attorney general prepared a bill
which contained the following provision in
regard to such cases:
Any person found In this state charged
with treason or felony committed In any
other state or territory of the United
States, who Is not extraditable aa a fugi
tive from Justice under the laws of the
United States, may, on demand of the ex
ecutive authority of the state or territory
In which such crime is charged to have
been committed, be, by the governor of this
state, delivered up and removed to the
state or territory having Jurisdiction of the
crime.
This was found to have many objections
and a substitute was prepared tn the senate
and passed. Now the house committee on
Judiciary has prepared another substitute
and the proposal now appear as an amend
ment to the law of Jurisdiction In this
state for all courts and provides:
The Jurisdiction of the courts of this
state, as denned by this chapter, shall be
held to include any and every public of
fense, hy any person residing or being
within the state, committed in whole or in
part within this state snd against the
property or person of another, whether the
person injured thereby he at the consum
mation of the wongful act, residing or
abiding in this state or any other state,
territory, district or country, and the place
of the consummation of such wrongful act
shall not affect such Jurisdiction.
May Close This Week.
The Thirtieth general assembly of Iowa
may close the coming week. Senators are
seriously planning to close out everything
during the week and return to their homes,
but many are of the opinion that It cannot
be done. The drainage laws, the appropri
ations, the Indeterminate sentence law,
the board of education law and others are
yet to be considered. The feeling Is grow
ing that the legislature should take con
siderable time In the matter of consider
lug the bill to establish one board for the
state educational Institutions, and the de
bate already started In the senate Indi
cates a prolonged discussion of the sub
ject. Senator Gllllland baa taken a con
spicuous part In opposition to the one
board plan, while Senator Dunham and
Senator Maytag have led off for it.
Want Cooalas for Chairman.
The friends and supporters of Congress
man Cousin in Iowa held a conference
here the past week to consider what they
could do to advance his Interests, and,
among other things. It was decided that an
effort should be mad."' to get him for tem
porary chairman of .the national conven
tion. Last year be threw a bombshell Into
the republican state convention by a speech
on the tariff question. In which he took
a view diametrically oppoalte to that which
had Just beea expressed by Allison. Cum
mins, Perkins and Dolllver. and gained
fame for himself as an opponent of the
state platforms of the party and the
national platforms so far as they re
ferred to reciprocity and possible re
ductions of the tariff. It la believed they
wlU be able to Induce th rttal ooca-
mlttee to name him for chairman, pro
vided It would not be taken as too serious
a rebuke to the Iowa republican leaders.

ACTOMATIO OATH FOR CROSSINGS.
lovra Man Proposes to ell Right to
Use His Accident Preventer.
SHELBY, la. April . (Special ) O. D.
Toung of this place has invented a rail
road crossing gate, and has Just received
hla patent. When an engine approaches
the crossing. It closes the gate and pre
vents teams from crossing the track. The
gate Is opened automatically when the
train Is passed. Accidents at crossings are
thus prevented.
Last summer Mr. Toung refused an offer
of H2.000 for his Invention from a Chi
cago house. A company has been formed,
having a capital of $10,000. F. B. Gibbs
of Omaha, superintendent of the western
division of the Rock Island, will probably
be elected president at the meeting of
the stockholders next week. The plan is
to sell the right of use to the railroads
at 12 per crossing.
Mr. Toung has also invented an auto
matic switch, which can be opened or
closed at the will of the engineer.

DEADWOOD, a D., April t Special.
The opening of spring finds the mining
Industry of the Black Hills on a firmer
basis than ever before In its history, and
more work of a new character laid out
than for several years. Before the summer
Is over there will be several new treatment
plants In operation, most Important of
these being the big stamp mill and cyanide
works of the Branch Mint company at
Galena. Work on the plant baa so fax
progressed that it will probably be ready
to go Into commission In about two months.
It will have a nominal capacity of about
150 tons a day, but this can be so Increased
at any time without Interfering with opera
tions as to bring it up to double that ca
pacity. Work has been so conducted upon
the mines of the company that It already
has a large ore supply on hand, and more
blocked out which will Insure a constant
supply to the mill. Another plant tn this
district which Is about ready to begin
treating ore is that of the Ruby Mining
company on Ruby gulch. This plant will
have .a daily capacity of 100 tons snd. like
the Branch Mint's plant, will begin opera
tions on ore of a splendid quality, and
with a supply on hand and blocked out
sufficient to keep It running for years.
Work of Improving the Highland mill In
Spruce gulch Is about finished and that,
too, will soon be ready to run on ore.
The addition of 100 stamps to the Amicus
mill of the Homestake company at Lead
is almost completed, and will be further
followed by the addition of sixty more
stamps, which will then make that mill
the largest In the world. More tanks will
be added to the cyanide plant of the Dead-wood-Standard
on Johnson gulch and the
capacity of the mill doubled, bringing It
up to about J00 tons dally.
Golden Heward May Reaonse.
There Is some talk of the 600-ton smelter
of the Golden Reward company again
blowing In and the employment of SOO or
400 men In addition to the force now work
ing for that oompany. The Jupiter mill
on Black tall, which has been Idle for
some time, will again resume operations
In a few weeks and. It is said, the Phoenix
company, which adjoins the Jupiter, will
begin building operations on a 100-ton mill
as soon as weather conditions will permit,
ground having already been graded for
the proposed plant. Arrangements hav
been made by the Reliance company for
the erection of a large plant upon Ita
ground this year; the Victoria company
has also under consideration plans for a
big plant, prospecting and developing work
upon Its ground having warranted. In the
disclosures of ore made, the expense of
building a mill. Another company which
Is considering the advisability of building
a plant for the treatment of Its ore is the
Rex, whose ground Is located adjoining
the townslte of Lead, and which has a
good showing of ore. Work of refitting
the mill of the Pluma company and adding
to Its capacity has been resumed, and It
Is believed that the plant will be In opera
tion before the close of the summer. This
company's ground adjoins the Homestake
holdings on the east and uorth and Is one
of the best developed pieces of ground In
the neighborhood, and with a big showing
or ore. -
Southern Hills Active.
In the southern hills there has also been
much new work laid out and many of the
mines which have heretofore been shipping
their ores to Black Hills or outside plants
will build. In the Rochford and Hornblende
districts plans for three or four mills have
been drawn up, and It Is more than prob
able that work on some of them will begin
this month. In the vlalnlty of Custer and
Hill City work on the mines has been so
satisfactory that It will surely result In the
inauguration of building operations. While
there Is still a great deal of snow on the
high ranges of the hills, it Is going off
pretty fast, and a few weeks should leave
all parts of the country accessible for
wagons, but even before that time active
work will have begun In many places, and
ground which has shown from past de
velopments to be worthy of greater atten
tion will receive It. Altogether, It looks as
though the Black Hills this year wiU break
the record so far as production of the
precious metals Is concerned aad In the
amount of new work started.
Final Payment Made.
Final payment has been made by the
Garden City Mining company on a group of
claims In the Garden City district near
Maltland. The purchase price of the prop
erty was $40,000, and the company for sev
eral months, during which the bond had
been running, has been doing considerable
prospecting work, and now has exposed a
large amount of fair grade ore, and, it Is
stated, the Intention of the company la to
erect on the property this summer a forty
stamp mill with a cyanide annex. .The
property included In the purchase was at
one time a producer, and much high grade
elllclous ore was mined from It and worked
In a small chloiinatlon plant. The new
company proposes to make the ground pay
for Its development, and will work It to
that end. Besides the large amount of
low grade ore met with In the iproperty.
there has been uncovered in the various
workings several shoots of high grade
slllcious ore, some of them quite extensive.
and these the company will endeavor to
more fully develop at once.
Knew Slops Delivery.
Owing to the difficulty In getting about
through the deep snow and over bad roads
the Imperial mill In this city has been
treating but sixty tons of ore dally from
Its own mines,'and a few tons from outside
propertiea This ore comes rrom the Lacka
wanna at Portland, the Eagle Chief at
Crown Hill and the American express at
Black tall; but Just so soon as the roads
Improve the dally task of the mill will be
raised to 160 tons. It Is expected that the
plant will be running at Its full capacity
within ten days and that ore of a better
grade will be handled. The Imperial Is
one of the most successful plants tn the
Black Hills and the company proposes to
enlarge It the coming year.
But forty of the sixty stamps of the
Clover Leaf mill are now dropping, but It
Is expected that the other twenty will be
falling by May L Work of lowering the
main shaft to the SCO-foot level baa begun
and In order to facilitate the sinking the
company has Installed a small hoisting
plant In the station on the Tuo-foot level.
which will be used exclusively for the pur
pose of raising material from the new work-
lugs, so that sinking will not Interfere with
the operations In the main shaft. Bvery
thing about the mine Is looking well and
the different shoots of ore which have been
opened up on the SOO and IDo-foot levels
are proving to be as rich tn vahses as the
ore taken from nearer the surface.

Xew Mill Sear Caster,
CUSTER CITY, g. D., April I. (Special.)
finishing touches are being put on the
new mill which la being built by the Ex
treme Mining company on Ruby creek,
three miles west from this city, and It la
expected that the plant will be In operation
within a week or so. This plant will be
equipped with ten stamps, and the process
employed In the treatment. of the ore will
be the same as that employed In oth.-r
stamp mills, amalgamation after stamping
and concentration, the mill being supplied
with a number of concentrating tables. On
the London claim of the company a large
bodv of ore haa been uncovered, surface
workings showing It for a distance of over
SOO feet; this ore, It is said, averages about
S10 a ton gold. Other workings hsve dis
closed an eighteen-lnch vein of very high
grade ore. some of the aasays of which
exceed 1100 to the ton. This property, be
sides the work mentioned, haa received con
siderable development, and la looked upon
by miners and others familiar with It aa a
good thing.
W. W. Olds of Custer City has purchased
the five-stamp mill which some time ago
was built an the Island group of mines and
will remove It to the Ruberta group, where
It will be placed In operation on ore from
that property. This mill, which Is almost
new and equipped in an up-to-date manner,
will probably have ten additional stamps
added to It. as the boilers and engines are
of sufficient capacity to work so large a
mill. It Is the Intention to add a cyanide
plant for the purpose of retreating the
tat rings from the mill, and Mr. Olds ex
peota to have this wwrk done and the mill
In operation by tbe first of June. Part of
the values la the orwa from this group are

that proreen, while the grimes and the
