The result of tho visit hero last week
of President N. L. Amstcr and confer

was tho decision tp proceed at onco
with tho construction of a smelting
plant. The plans and specifications for

and the site, on the Pontine claim north
of tho Eureka shaft, solccted. Yester
day tho order was plaeod for tho neccs.
sary machinery and structural steel to
bo used in the construction of tho plant,
inclcding n blower aud compressor, ami
also a Webster, Campbell & Lane hoist
of capacity for sinking J50Q feet. No
delay in tho delivery of tho machinery
is anticipated and tho management ex
pects to have tho plant completed and
in operation by tho middle of next
August. The initial capacity of the
'smelter will bc 300. tons, but it will be
built with a view to its enlargement to
1000 tons daily. Tho plant will bo of
modern construction throughout.
Development on tho Black Hawk
vein is progressing at both tho Eureka
and Black, Hawk shafts. At tho Eureka
tho station at 710 feet is bcinir cut and
by February 1, drifting on tho vein
will bo under way. It -will only re
quire a crosscut thirty feet south from
the shaft to intersect the vein and judg
ing from tho oro encountered above in
tho shaft, u body of high grade glance
and carbonate oro should be opened by
the drift on the 710-foot level.
At tho old Black Hawk workings
near the eastern end of tho property,
tho vein has been drifted on for a dis
tanco of 230 feet west from the -winzo

tho end of this drift, and will bo sunk
200 feet and another level opened that
will correspond with tbo 710-foot level
at the 1'ureka shaft. This winzo will
follow the dip of the vein- and should

STONE WEBSTER PEOPLE HAVE
INDICATED THAT THEY
ARE OUT OF IT.
Still another bidder for a street rail

Ho is N. L. Amstcr.
Tho subject was b'roaehed yesterday
afternoon at the conference between
Mayor Kinney, nnd the city'1 council on
ono side, and Mr. Amster and other
stockholders in tho water and gas and
electric companies on tho other side.
Mr. Amster, who had been discussing
various improvements he might make in
tcis city, mentioned tho fact that he
would like to construct a street railway
system here. Ho was told that ho
should formally lay his proposition bc
foro the council, as had been done by
Mr. Hunt, whose draft of an ordinanco
is now under consideration.
"Brussels carpet work" was again
being done yesterday by the various in.
tercsts seeking to obtain tho franchise,
save tho El Paso crowd, the representa
tives of the Stone-Webster people.
"We aro out of it," was tho state
ment niado last night by Judgo Leigh
Clark, tho head of tho Stone-Webster
delegation, and he added that he would
leave the city this morning.
Tho others, however, including the
representatives of tho Denver inter

still camping on tho trail.
Still, no propositions have been made
to the city council by any of these peo
ple save George W. P. Ilunt, who as
serted the other, day that ho would
make no further concessions than tboso
contained in his amended ordinance and
was about to withdraw from the field.
"Mr. Hunt's proposition is the only
one of which tho council can take
cognizance in the matter of street rail
ways," said Aldcrman Felnnd last
night. "Mr. Amstcr has oponcd the
question, but this was .not officinllyT
and as to tho report of other people
being hero on tho samo' errand, so far
as tlie city council is concerned, it is
all street talk. There will bo no wait

WASHINGTON, D. C, January 9.
In the preparation of his report in re
ply to the president's charges, Senator
Tillman failed to find a number of pa
pers bearing .upon tho vOregon land
cas.es, in connection with which the
present controversy arose.
Tho papers were enclosed in a large
rn elope, and left in his privnto desk
in the committee room at the capitol
when he left Washington last March on
account of illness. Tho senator does
not charge that the papers have been
abstracted by a government detective,
but does' say that it would be possible
for such an oflieial to gain access, to his
room and desk, both of which were
fastened, with only ordinary locks, and
tho papers, he said, arc very important
in tho ' preparation .of his case nnd
would go far to substantiate his de
fense. Notwithstanding his loss, Mr. Tillman
expresses confidence of his ability to
mako satisfactory reply to tho presi
dent. "More Troubles.
Senator Tillman is affording an illus
tration of the old adage, "Trouble nev
er comes singly." In addition to his

rying through theli mail? of tho' gov
ernment a typewriter which the senator
had franked irom his home in South
Carolina to Washington. Mr. Barnes
insists that tho senator pay postago in
letter rates. '
Senator Tillman devoted tho entire
day to tho preparation of his reply
to the president's charge against him,
'which ho will' make in the shape of a
speech in the senate on Monday. Ho
tins found himself embarrassed to no
small degree by tho loss of a number of
documents bearing on the case, but
tells his friends that regardless of the
disappearance of tho papers, ho will
make a showing that will satisfy them
and that he had no wrong intention In
connection with Oregon lands.

"The American people made a mis

Late in tho day, a telegram was "re

and this tallied veiy closely with the
appearance of the prisoner. T-ie ilr

In every other respect the description
fits him to a dot.
Sheriff Thompson has learned that
Depriest was in Bisbec last year for a
while, following his discharge from tho
army, in which he had serTed on term
of enlistment in the Philippines since
his escape from jail at Tombstone. Tho
sheriff has also been told ' that a pic

is hanging in his father's house at Bis

Tho county jail prisoner does not
deny that he hns been a soldier. In

BLOCK IN CITY.
N. L. Amster, the Boston capital
ist, yesterday afternoon, ottered to
build, -without any call for a bond
issue, a sewerage system in Globe,
charging the city only 5 per cent
on the cost of the work, in prefer
ence to selling to the city the own
ership of the Pinal Mountain Water
company.'s property, -whose wells
have been developed until they now
have a capacity of 60,000 gallons
an hour, or 1,440,000 gallons a day,
enough for a city of 50,000 inhab
itants. The'propusitiou Vis t.-jkepundccoja
sid'eratibn by the city 'council.
The offer was made at a conference
between Mr. Amster and" other stock
holders in the waterworks and the gas
and electric company and the city coun
cil, held at the First National bank or
the purpose, on the part of tho munici
pal authorities, of negotiating for the
acquisition of the plants of tho two
companies named. The city was rcpru
scnted by Mayor Kinney and Aldenjien
Rose, VanSIyck, McNeil and Fel.mil.
Oily Attorney ADred accompanied the
couneilmeiii whili Attorney C. L. Raw
lins appeared as legal adviser for the
two companies interested.
Mr. Amster made two propositions to
the city, one to sell at cost, which
would be $100,000, most of the stock
having cost the present holders $16 a
Bhare, although the par value is only
$10. The other proposition was that
;f the company bo granted a franchise
and allowed to continue in business,
that a duplicate pumping plant be in
stalled at the wells so that it would
not be possible, under any circum
stances, to have a breakdown shutting
the water supply from the reservoir on
the hill. Iu addition to this, be offer
ed to construct a sewerage system ade
quato to the needs of the city, which, it
was argued, would effect an enormous
saving for the muuicipality. lt was
pointed out by the Amster people that
the city now spends $700 a month, or
about $8,000 a year for tho removaj of
garbage, much of which would bo elim
inated by the operation of the sewer
age system, in addition to which thcio
would certainly be an improvement in
the publie health and a great saving
to private persons who nqw maintain
.cesspools that would then no longer be
necessary.
Mr. Amster was told of the plans of
Olmsted L Gilleii, the engineers who de
signed a sewerage system for Globe
which they cstinlatcd would edst $70,
000. He replied that he did not care,
if It cost $100,000, and that his only
chargo to tho city would be 5 per cent
on the money invested, besides which
he stated that tho matter would bo ar
ranged so that Globe would not find it
necessary to issue any bonds for the
sewerage system.
Nothing definite was done in the mat-'
tor, which was taken under advisement
by tho council after considerable dis
cussion, and nothing was said at tho
conference concerning- the acquisition
of the gas plant.
Later in the evening, Mr. Amster an
nounced sevoral important improve
ments ho contemplated making in this
city.
Theso comprise:
An enlargement of the capacity of
the gas works:
Tho construction of a substantial two
story building, possibly brjck, '-with
stores on the' ground floor and,, office
rooms abover at tho northwest corper
