The .work of constructing the booths and fencing off the streets and portions of Bay- Mes park for. the Elks' street fair and car- nival will be begun this week. Plans have been drawn for an Imposing entrance which will be located at First avenue and Pearl street. ‘Bids for its construction will be edvertised for in a day or so. The streets will be fenced off with canvas, as this can be easily fastened to the trees along the eurbing, and, unlike the board fence, will save the necessity of placing so many posts. The booths are to be substantially constructed with rafnproof roofs The work of advertising the street fair and carnival has been proceeding merrily, and thousands of attractive posters have been distributed In adjacent towns and along the lines of the several rallroads en- tering Council Bluffs. This week and next & number of balloons will be sent up each evening from the Elks' clubhouse, each bearing a season tickst to the strect The finder of the balloon will thus sacure free admission to the carnival for the en- tire week.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Aug. 17.—(Special.)—The state executive council in making the sessment of raliroads for this year put the figures higher than was intended by them. It was planned that they should make an increase of substantially $4,000,000 in the taxable value of the Iowa raliroads, and having decided upon .this as a basis they proceeded to figure it out by systems and branches. The work was necessarily done hurriedly, and when finished the prelim- inary figures showed a net increase in the assessment of §4,041,666. This was satistac- tory to the council. During the pi 'wo weeks the secretary of the council has been making out the certilicates to county auditors and figur- ing out the assessment mile by mile over all the lines and branches in lowa, and fig- ing it down in this manner the result shows that the total increase in assess- ment amounts to $4,816,726, or more than $275,000 more than what was contemplated by the councll to the difference between figuring it out mile by mile, and making the computation on whole systems at a time. The assessment on new lines is only about $160,000. This means that the rafl- roads of Towa will pay $172,000 more taxes to the state this year than last year. The total assessment of raliroad property is "$61,387,084. The county having the heaviest assessment of rallroad property Is Potta- wattamie, with $1,442,208. The next {s Clinton, with $1,194,564; then Polk, with $1,150,664, and Linn, with $1,054,245. Commercinl Bodies to Meet. A meeting of the newly formed Commer- clal association of Iowa has been called to meet in Des Moines August 36, when the organization will be perfected, and work will be lald out for it to do. This is an organization of the commercial bodies which are existing in various cities of the state for the improvement of the cities and to secure factories and new enterprises. D. B. Lyons of this city is the temporary president of the association. There are about ninety of these assoclations in the te, and a great many more will be repre- sented than were represented at the pre- liminary meeting in Cedar Rapids, Abandon Ol Search. Two ofl flelds have attracted some at- tention in Iowa the past two vears. The one at Frederika, in Bremer county, caused a great deal of excitement for a time, and two strong companies were organized to prospect for oil. The price of land in the eastern part of Bremer county along the Wapsie river rose rapidly, and there was & great bustle among the business men in the nearby towns. Boring was commenced be- low Tripoll by the Ploneer Prospecting and Ofl company and by the Wapsie company. The prospect hole of the first named com- pany was put down over 1,700 feet, and last week the well was abandoned and the field given up entirely. The work on the other well s still progressing. Both companies had many small stockholders scattered over the state, and the loss will not be heavy on anyone. The other oil fleld is in Musca- tine anl Loulsa counties, and Indications are that there is a small amount of surface oil similar to that which caused the ex- citement in Brem county. Roosevelt’s lowa Journey. It 1s now announced with positivenes that President Roosevelt will make at least ‘two separate journeys into Iowa on his western trip and between the two he will.make his trip into Nebraska, Kan- sas and Missouri. The towns at which he will stop are Sfoux City, Denison, Des Moines, Clarinda, Oskaloosa, Ottumwa and possibly Osceola and Keokuk. He will stop at Denison a compliment to Sec- retary Shaw, whose home is in that little city. His stop in Sioux City will be Sep- tember 26 and in Des Moines, September 80. The efforts of a great many other ambitious towns to have the president visit them have proved disappointing. More Rain in Iowa. Another heavy rainstorm visited central Towa last night and added to the danger from floods along the rivers, the Coon river is steadily rising hers and is now at the danger point. The rains are caus- ing a great deal of damage to crops again. More than 135 good horses have been entered for the races at the lowa State fair next week, the race program to begin on Monday. These include some of the best known trotting and pacing animals in the western country. A number from wi ern Towa and Nebraska are entered.

The stockholders will ns turally use their efforts to bring about this result and as few people have use for more than one ’'phome, if the service is satisfactory, the natural result will be that the Cedar Valley and lowa ‘phones will be abandoned in many Instances.

WELSH, Local Forecast Oficial MINING IN THE BLACK HILLS Muoh Quiet Werk is Being Dono in Ragged Tep Distriot. WORK RESUMED AT MAURICE STATION Vietoria Mining Com Largely of Om ing Work and E ing Many Men, Composed Puash- DEADWOOD, 8. D., Aug. 17.—(Spectal) A great deal of quiet work is being done in the Ragged Top district In the vicinity of Maurice station, and some good ore bodies being developed. The Klilpatrick brothers recently took a lease and a bond on the property of Madill and otbers on Iron creek, and since taking charge of the ground have been working a large force of men on it. The work which is at present belng done is merely in the nature of prospecting, but several fine shoots of ore bave been exposed by it. A number of open cuts have been made on these ore deposits and they have been found to be of an average thickness of ten feet, while thelr width has not as yet been determined. These shoots occur in the flat formations and the ore which they carry is similar in every respect to that taken from the mines of the Spearfish company on Johnson gulch; 1t is & good cyaniding proposition and car- ries fair commercial values. It is not known what the intention of the Kilpat- ricks is, but it is sald that should they conclude to purchase the ground when their bond expires they will erect a plant to treat the ores on the ground. Work on the Victoria Mining company’s ground at Maurice station has been re- sumed, and it Is sald that a large shoot of ore has been found in the drifts which the company has started on the ground. This company is composed of Black Hills and Omaha people, who have expended con- siderable money in the development of the ground owned by it, and has at present quite & force of men employed. The ground is In a productive district and should prove to be as good as any of the excellent prop- erties by which it is surrounded. The Mercur company, which is owned and controlled by Utah capitalists, has #ince it has taken hold of the property ine cluded in the group of clalms which it owns, done a great deal of develop- ment work, and at the present time has a larger force of men employed than any company in the neijghborhood. The com- pany began operations about four months ago, but since that time has developed the known ore bodies and exposed others. Three Tunnels Started. Three tunnels were started from the Spearfish side of the property, following shoots of ore into the hill on the Star mine. These tunnels have been driven in for a distance of about 176 feet each and are still in ore, but no attempt has been made to crosscut these shoots as yet, but they are known to be very extensive. The ore i» & cyaniding proposition and carries val- which will ge hottar than $6 a ton. On the Nelson group, a part of the com- pany’s holdings, a force of men was lately put to work making open cuts on a num- ber of ore bodies which are exposed on the surface. This work has shown that the ore in these deposits s similar to ¢hat found in the other mines of the company and that some of the shoots carry even better values. Since beginning operations the company bas bullt boarding houses, offices, black- bulldings necessary for the carrylng on of #ts work on an extenstve scale. The plans for its 160-ton wet crushing cyanide plant have been prepared, and it {s expected that work on it will be started in a short time, in order that it may be completed bsfore the settng In of cold weather and deep snows. The work at the property is being done under the superintendency of J. C. ‘Warren, one of the officers of the company, and also one of the most experienced min- ing men of Utah. The Eleventh Hour, one of the new prop- erties in the district, on which work has been started within the past few weeks, is showing up well and producing some very rich ore. The ore shoots occur in the lime formations, and where they are being worko$ are about eeven feet thick. It is a pertect! cyaniding proposition and easily mined; fn fact, it is quarried out of the ground, all of the work being done in open cuts. The ore—a lime ore—carries values ranging from $6 to $40 a ton. Three feet 00 | of this shoot is being taken out for ship- ment and the other four feet piled on the dump, it being of a lower grade. Ship- ments will be made to one of the Dead- wood cyanide plants. Blkhorn Worki, The Elkhorn will soon have its spur come pleted to the Imperial company’s ground and next week shipments from the mines will be made to the company’s plant in Deadwood. The company at present is getting its ore from its mines in Blacktall, and treating considerable custom ore, but when the branch of the Elkhorn has been completed to its mines in this section about 100 tons & day will be shipped, and as it is & higher grade and a much better cyaniding ore than that taken from the mines {n Blacktail, the semi-monthly cleanup of the plant will be ar group of claims in Carbonate, owned by Maurice Welsh and assoctates, is at present producing some very rich silver- lead ore. There is a large body of it on the property, which has been opened up by s eral tunnels and crosscuts. Numerous as- says from the ore body within the last few weeks show that it carres an average value of about $24 & fon. The ore also carries a lttle gold, but it is belng worked for the silyer and lead that is In it. Quite a lot of this rich ore has accumulated on the dump, and arrangements are being made to ship it to the Deadwood smelter and, if possible to have it treated there, shipments will be made to the National smelter at Rapid City, Allen Bros. are making a success of their The New Beer Price same as our * Export, The purest, mildest, daintiest beer ever brewed.

D., Aug. 17- —The North Star Mining company started its new stamp mill on Tuesday L On the afternoon of that day, in the presence of & large number of invited guests, five of the ten stamps were started dropping. It made the occasion of quite a little colebration, and after the mill had been fairly etarted the guests of the company were entertalned at a banquet in the com- pany boarding house. Dr. and Mrs. R. W. Calkins, Mr. anl Mra. Herber MacDonald of Custer and Mr. Wallace of Council Blufts, one of the directors of the company, fed the first rogk to the crusher, and watched it drop into the battéry, and its pulp wash over the plates. The Initial run of the mill was a complete success, and the en- tire ten stamps—the mill's capacity, are now dropping, and, although a cleanup has not as yet been made, from the appear- ance of the pl it can be seen that the gold is being seved and in quantity that will make the mill & success. Although the mill s in operatjon, the plant has not been completed, for it is the intention of the company to bulld a cyanide annex to treat the tailings.
