 Colorado is rapidly solving ithe irriga tion problem, and recent decision of the supreme court of that state decides that canals are common carriers and can not refuse to sell water for lands under them.

 MT. D. w. McCallen has opened up a fine gold bonanza on his Tom Scott claim at Mineral Creek. In ledge parallel to his silver ledge he has developed a vein of gold bearing quartz eleven feet wide, and nearly every specimen shows free gold. How extensive this body of ore Is, cannot be conjectured, but it IS one of the most encouraging develop ments yet made in that section of the county. In the other vein on the same claim large body of rich carbonates have been encountered, and as the claim IS considerably developed, Mir Me Callen may be said to own real mine of great in trinsic value.
