THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 1895. EEEREEEEEEEEERREEREEREEE! NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS. Office, 12 Pear! Street,—H. W, Tilton, Manager. Alderman Shubert, Brewick and Brown, the members of the committee appointed by the | city council to investigate the Council Bluffs Gas and Electric pany, held another seance at bill of Light the council the com- chamber last evening with Manager Wright | the | of the company. The dispute between city and the company, from the company’s standpoint, was gone over thoroughly again Mr. Wright exhibited a letter from the pres- fdent of the company in Omaha which stated that the Omaha company had formerly made 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 founl to tally so closely that the company had lately given up making separate reports, and ac cepted the report of the police as final. That the same plan should meet with results so different when adopted in Council Bluffs the manager seemed very strange. month there has been a large discrepancy between the two reports, but it been satisfactorily adjusted by sr difterence, Now the council has determin to split no more differences, but take the re- port of the polics 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 ther 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 attentlon by Al- derman Brewick. Right back of his residence there stands a light which Mr. Brewick watched very closely. In one month it out five times, but the company's report showed it out but once. There are other mimilar cases, and plenty of them. The com- mittee spent a_couple of hours in wrangling. but at the windup 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 certaln, however, that the members are with- oub exception opposed to a compromise of any sort. #1.25 LADI to ery WRAY Nennison Nrox' Big Sale W Every ladies' $1 and $1.25 lawn and wrapper in our store today at one price, 69¢ each, Come for them Wednesday. boys' shirt walsts in light and dark colors, all sizes, were 25c, 35¢ and 40c, Wednesday nearly glving them away, 12%c each.

Monday night Chris Larson, who keeps a store at 905 South Main street, came very near being made the victim of a confidence game. A man visited his store and bought goods in value amounting to $4.50, presenting a check for $10 in payment. It was drawn on the Council Bluffs Savings bank, made payable to W. A. Bonter, and signed by the name of J. B. Loy, foreman of the Rock Island round house. Before accepting it Mr. Larson sald he would go out and find whether Loy was good, and he invited Mr. Bonter to sit down and smoke a cigar at his expense until he should return. When he came back he had learned that Loy did not sign the check, and his man had dfsappeared, leaving the goods and check behind him. The man who attempted the confidence trick has been seen about Lower Main street, but no one scems to know who he is.

Some one entered the metery of the Iowa Soldiers’ home, and vith a heavy hammer or hatchet defaced, lemolished and broke off forty-six of the mar- ble headstones that mark the last resting places of the dead veterans. This comprises more than half the stones erected by the government in the home cemetery, and the lamage will be about $1,000, as the grave- stones are ruined. The general supposition is that the author of the villainy is an ex- inmate of the home, recently dischaged for petty thieving. He 'was hanging about the institution's yards and made threats of re- venge. Commandant Ratekin has offered a reward for the apprehension of the vandal and officers are searching for him.

Tc get there I bid adieu to the Red Lodge, Montana's great coal camp, and an chored in a wagon which, through some pr cess of a playful and lively imagination, be came one of the coaches of the Red Lodg 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 por- tions of Montana and Wyoming, a dazzlir pleture, one of nature's exquisite gems, with its cordon of mountain ranges, isolated peaks sunlit 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 ent of another be gins, and o it continues through nine long and weary miles. A piccadilly tenderfoot, whose name has been lost in the shuffle, was the head and only engineer of this sky-scrap ing earth delving route, but he will long live in local fame as Doestick's bosom friend, the illustrious: Damphool. Since passing over this travesty of a road another and far more direct one has’ beer completed by the 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 Leaving the hills we 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 scrapers. 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 daily 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 fs but reasonable to infer that the great strikes of this region are yet to be made. Nor, £o far as I could learn, has the source of this placer gold been found. A few years ago a railroad line was surveyed up this valley to and through the canyon, some fifteen miles away. The proposed route was to have its terminal at the great 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 especiall A ride of some thirty-five mil brings us to the bridge which spans the Shoshone river where a_postoffice is established, named Cor- bett. Up this stream to the Rattlesnake range of mountains and down to where it empties into the Big Horn river are thou- sands upon thousands of acres of the choic- est bench lands to be found in Wyoming, virgin soll possessing great possibilities. This now seeming barren waste will soon 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 Lovel on the lower Shoshone has about completed a large ditch, while the preliminary work of others is well under wa During ten days’ sojourn I made headquar- ters at the Shield ranch, on Cottonwood creek, some seven miles above the bridge. The present owners of this ranch are Messrs. Horr and McFall, both ex-soldiers, who have turned their implements of war into picks and shovels, with which they are now uncov- ering some of mother earth’s hidden treas- ure, Jim Gammel, a noted prospector, is a ciated with them in the development of their mining properties. When their placer grounds were reached a prospector’s pan was placed at my disposal. I selected gi different points and panned out a of pleces of coarse gold, and every pan showed up heavy ‘‘colors.”” The appearance of the gold—rough pitted, not smooth—in- dicates that it had not been carried far, and that the source was not distant, while the fact that the nearer the river bed the coarser the gold became, was a sure indication that the golden wealth lies in the river channel and that these are veritable river diggings. BILL CODY'S HOT SPRINGS. Up the river and adjoining the lower placer claims are the Snoshone hot springs. During our stay we learncd that In the Interim the title had passed into the hands of Colonel W. F. Cody. If true, he is exceelingly for- unate in acquiring a resort in such a highly picturesque and romantic region. The Sho- shone canyon commences at the hot springs. On the right bank a trail has been cut for a distance of four miles. At the end of the trail the Box canyon of the Shoshone canyon appears in al' fts awful grandeur. A desire to employ adjectives in profusion comes over mo while thinking of the wierd and gloomy scene here presented, a scene that could not even be adequately portrayed by the pen of a Dante or the pencil of a Dore. The Box canyon deserves its name, It appears like a huge box set in the Shoshone canyon and serving as the upper, end of the latter. Its frowning walls of granite rise perpendicular to great height from the river bed, while the waters seem as if in seething caldrons in this fearful chasm, a mile in length. At the lower end of Box canyon my guides have discovered the source from whence the gold in their placers come. Scaling the heights above the Custer we come to Observatory point, where can be had a view unparalleled on the American to cars at FORK.

The valley grows «maller as the eye scans the scene and soon s lost to view n the west among the snow apped peaks of the Shoshone range. Between us and the mountains are seen scattered tlong what one of our trio very unpoetically lescribed as “mustard plasters,”” but in real ty are large and well cultivated ranch To the right can be seen the mountains sur rounding the great silver deposit of the Sun light basin. The view of the South Fork, stretching to the left and well in fronf, shows the ranches in greater numbers, long ribbons of green stretenin from the mountain sides and running to’the river's edge mark the courses of dashing streams. Castle Rock, a castellated butte, occuples a place by itself in the valley, away from its brother peaks, and appea to good advantage, while the crage f the Ishawood and the natural battlements n the eastern slope gives a charming effect to the scene. Further up the stream loses tself in a great canyon, flanked by the five towering peaks, doing sentinel uty over the copper deposits of the South Fork, whil still_beyond Franc's peak looks down upon what is soor destined to be one of the lead ing mining camps on earth, but now only known to local fame the Wood River mining district. The view from Observatory point must be seen to be appreciated RUSTIC. - TORT O Millers Will Be ¢ 1 from Other States. HUTCHINSON, Kan., July 23.—The Kansas State Millers' assoclation held its annual con vention here ‘today and compiled the -Kan millers’ estimate of the wheat harvest. R ports are not in from all countles, but suff clent returns have been made to indicate 1895 yleld of from 6,000,000 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 tc negotiate with railways for an emergency rategon 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 fmportation of Russian hard winter from the Crimea. All the millers express a 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. KANSAS I8 & WHEAT, to Ship in n Small Missourl Bank Collapses.
