z A COMPANY composed of New York
and western capitalists, with a capital
of s7,5O0,00o has been organized to irri.
gate 100000 acres Of land in the Colo
RADIO basin. This is the largest enter
prise Of the kind ever undertaken in
this country, but is only a forerunner OF
others of equal magnitude that will be
undertaken in the near future. One of
i.the brainiest m%illionaires of New York,
who has accumulated millions in rail
roads and steamships, said, in speaking
OF this enterprise: "If l were fifteen
years younger, l would abandon all
other interests and devote the remain
ing years of my life to carrying out the
greatest problem touching the welfare
of the human family, that is to open to
capital and enterprise the introduction
of water upon the millions of acres of
waste land in this country" Uudou5t-
edly younger capitalists will not hest
Tate to undertake the work that older
men shrink from. 1t is q business that
offers every inducement to enterprise.
AS the president Of the company, above
mentioned, says: "Irrigation, as 1 look
at it, is a manufacturing business. The
raw material consists Of land and water.
The output is fertile land. The profit
is large with fairly fayoring circum-
stances, but with all the circumstances
favorable in the highest degree, the
profit is incredibly large"

young men, accurately drilled as

quaintea with the construction of yes

to meet this demand by establishing a
school of naval architecture and marine
engineering, the only one OF the kind in
the country. Practical men have been
secured for instructors, some Of them
from the naval academy and one exper-
fenced ship-builder from the Clyde

THE

The Engineering and Mining Journal
is one Of the few New York newspapers
that bring fairness and good temper t.
the discussion of the silver problem. II
sees both sides of the question and be-
lieves it's satisfactory solution ~ bs
reached by an international monetary
clearing house to adjust the differences
between different countries. 1.-THE
question to be settled" it says, "is moi
whether gold is or is not a better meta,
than silver, or whether the gold in ex.
istence is sufficient to carry on the bus
liness of tho world. 1t is primarily
whether the industry and OF
Fthe world shall be disturbed or in q
great measure destroyed by the sudden
destruction of the international value OF
the money of two-thirds of the world,
to the advantage of no one, or that the
nations shall unite-without loss to any
ITO support and improve the money OF
these countries by adopting a perma-
nent solution which provides a stable
money for the world, and which is yet
so flexible as to meet, without a
panic or danger, the changing
conditions of productions of the
money metals. The advocates of
silver, as we'll as those Of gold, claim
only what they believe just. II silver
is not greatly overproduced at the ratio
OF sixteen or twenty to one of gold, then
this ratio will be maintained and every
one will be satisfied. If ON the other
hand, as the gold advocates contend,
the production of silver should SO
greatly Increase as to endanger the
stability of the worlds bi-metallic basis,
then the ratio will be changed very
gradually until an equilibrium be estab-
lished, and no panic, no disaster, nc de-
rangement of industry or commerce can
take place." The Journals idea is that
som basis of agreement should and can
be reached whereby the world may alb
ssorb an increasing production of the
precious metals. The plan for a
worlds board Of arbitration or clearing
house has much of merit in it. It
might fall short of complete success,
but it would be a step toward that
meeting Of nations on common ground
which we are yet destined to see.
