Eastern people are making an
examination of the Grand Canyon
for the production of electric power.
An overflow dam can be built at a
small cost from which vast

Grand Canyon of the Colorado
would some day produce enough
energy to move all the machinery

At Salt Lake City an interesting
question ON escrow agreements was
settled last week. w. A. Clark. of
the United Verde copper mines,
had agre d to purchase from A. G..
Camp ell IA controlling interest in
the Ophir Hill Mining Company.
The stock was placed in escrow, the
condition being that if Clark or his
representative paid the purchase
price (75,000f) on or before No.
vember oath, 1898, it was to be de-
livered to him On the 22d Of
November a dividend of 19,OOO$
was paid to Campbell on the stock
and ON the oath of the same month
Clark paid the 75,O00$ and took
the stocs Demand was made on
Campbell for the dividend paid
him on the stock while in escrow,
but the court held that no title had
passed and the money rightfully
elonged to Campbell. The ques-
tion is an important one and the
decision ought to give general sat
isfaction.

The Globe Times while referring to
the matters of writing up mines and
the blind prejudice existing against 1t
in certain quarters, says: "The poor
little cookie burr expert with almighty
and mysterious mien who walks to and
fro upon the earth as if his every step
changed the equilibrium of the solar
system, and who hardly knows achunk
of red oxide of copper from brickbat,
will inform the Arizona editor that he
wants nothing said about his stupend-
GUS operations. The next day his com
pany's agent will inject column OF
slush in his local paper about their
celebrated worlds wonder mine for
which they have been offered millions,
but would not sell at any price; and
such cheap humbug as that goes on
from day to day, instead of encourage
ing the newspapers to write up every
prospect in the country fully and freely
and upon its merits. The newspaper,
however, will not be muzzled by every
tenderfoot expert who comes along
with patent leather leggings up to his
knees and monacle glued to his left
eye, but will surely give its readers the
benefit of all external facts relating to
the progress, prosperity and general
welfare of the mining industry"

viii Pump Water.
How One Farmer Intends to Ir-
rieate His Ranch.

How Ono Farmer Intends to Ir-
rieate His Ranch.
With the formation of Water Stor-
age Company, national Legislation on be-
half OF Nevada's arid lands, and the
prospect of the Alpine Reservoir Com
panies opening ditch next Spring, one
farmer is going ahead alone to make
sure OF a water supply, though in a
somewhat different way from the 9th
ers.
This man, Mr.. Jacob Rodenbah, owns
q fine tract of table land on the east
side of Carson Valley, which lays some
85 feet above the river which passes the
place. How to get this water up to the
land at a reasonable cost, has been a
matter OF much study, but the problem
has finally been solved, and the plans
are all but perfected.
A new style 4S-inch Turbine wheel is
to be placed in mill race leading from
the river, and will furnish the power to
run a pump, which is now being ex-
tensively used throughout the arid re-
gions. This pump called the "Wonder,"
is said to have capacity OF $4,000 gal
Ions per hour, equal to a stream Of 80
miners inches, with the surprisingly low
rate of speed of $50 revolutions. By
increasing the speed larger volume of
water can be secured. The wheel will
give sufficient power to run several of
these pumps, and it is expected that
enough water can be raised in this way
to irrigate several hundred acres.
The preliminary work has been begun.
The mill race will be 10 feet wide on
the bottom, IA on top and 10 feet deep.
All the necessary bitches will be built
or enlarged before the machinery
arrives from the factory in the east.

With the British Columbia and Klon-
dixie production reaching nearly the
Sl2,OOO,0OO mark, the addition that
America makes to the worlds stock OF
gold for the year is highly gratifying
Mr.. Valentines estimate Of the worlds
production of gold for the year is $780,
OOO,OOO-something larger than that Of
the Treasury authorities. When it is
remembered that eight years ago the
worlds production Of gold was practic-
ally stationary at about $l30,0O0,0O0, the
present annual production is striking
feature Of the closing years of the CEN
tury.

The Increase OF Gold.

John ]. Valentine, President Of Wells,
Fargo d Co., has just issued the annual
statement Of the company in regard to
the production OF the precious metals in
in the States and Territories west OF the
Missouri river, and the showing is
worthy OF remark. The totals of ship
ments are summed up as follows:
Col dust aad bullion by express s67 1858
Gola dust and buleion by other
ceDvoyances. lo.G94,644
Silver bullion by express ........... $685. Jos
Ores aud base bullion b. freight 81 5J9,3 ,356
Tota...... .................. .sl77 ,o22, ,666
These figures include the return ship
ments from British Columbia and the
Northwest Territory, including the Klon-
dixie.
The most striking part Of the exhibit is
the great increase in the production OF
gold. In spite Of the dry year in Califor-
mia, which prevented the working Of
some of the gold bearing properties, the
total for the country is 100000 above
the unprecedented yield Of last year,
