4 NOBILITY IN ALTON.
Driving . Tunnel to Drain . Mine and
Water u Desert.

A irrigation company. with a novel plan
for getting water. has been formed In Salt
Lake" said James H.. Bacon, President Of the
Park Of salt Lake. while at the Holland House
yesterday. some bright fellow who knew
that the soil at the foot OF the mountains in
what is known as the West Mountain or Bing-
ham mining district was as rich as the best Of
Utah desert lands learned also that the miners
up in the mountains HAD to keep pumps running
70 prevent the lower levels from becoming
flooded with water. 20 he said: why not take
water that is . nuisance in the mines and put it
where II will do some good Capitalists were
found TO carry out a combined drainage and
irrigation scheme. A tunnel has been started
that 1t will take about a years labor to com:
piete. They propose to drain the Dalton and
Lark mines to the 1000 foot level for q small
royalty. and to turn the water loose over 1000
acres OF land which they have acquired. The
land is worthless without water. but II there is
enough water in the mines, and very likelythere
will DO. the land will become worth 500 an
acre. 1t is certain that this tunnel scheme for
getting water might be proftably applied in a
hundred places on the desert where it never
las been considered at all"

In the course OF a recent address before the
Society Of Naval Architects and Marine En-
eineers, Capt. Henry c.. TAYLOR Of our navy
spoke OF the future Of American commerce on
the Pacific. and pointed out the convenience
and value Of a high latitude route to Asia.
In explanation Of his views he exhibited a
chart which conveyed to the eye the facts relat-
ing to SEQ routes as depleted by the modern
method OF map drawing called the enomonic
projection. This. as defined by Commander
~Sigsbee. the chief Of the HydroEraphic once,
is "a projection upon a plane tangent to the sur.
face OF the sphere. the eye being at the centre Of
the sphere The results produced are paipably
different from those familiar in earlier map
drawing. and they are particularly important
IN illustrating Capt. Taylor's chief point, namely.
tie situation OF our Aleutian chain OF islands in
It's relation to trnns-Pacihc commerce. Capt.
Taylors chart il one OF much detail. and con-
tains also the rules for the measurement Of dis
tance: by differences OF latitude, as we'll as the

This chart. as Capt. Taylor observes will show
that communication between our Pacific coast
and the northern countries OF Asia Is natural

doubts entertained concerning the long VOYAGES

This sketch map indicates the.places of great

British expedition to the Soudan will follow,
and also the most important positions within
