A. N. SWAN ON ANCIENT IRRIGA.
TI0N.
From tho Field and Farm.

From the Field and Farm.
Every year when there becomes a
scarcity of water PEOPLE who depend
upon irrigation are at their WITS ends
TO make it go as far as possible TO get
enough for themselves and at the salne
time allow the neghbors to have at
least little. We have frequently
spoken of wastage by seepage and
surface spreading but our methods be
come no better year after year, and we
are just as extravagant in our system
as ever. Speaking on this subject, a.
VI. Swan, of New Mexico says:
"Our irrigation engineers have much
to learn from the people-older than
the ancient Pueblos-who Inhabited
this country before the race from
which Columbus sprung was civilized.
II congress desires to ald the work If
reclaiming our arid lands they can Go
it no more effectively than by scnditg
out competent engineering force to
study the few remains yet left OF the
vast irrigation system OF TIE most
ancient inhabitants Of this country,
enough of which are yet visible froni
which they can learn valuable lesson,
in storm water conservation.
The ancients provided against
seepaGe by cementing the bottoms Of
their bitches wherever they were con-
Quoted across loose soil. Their canals
wound in and out at the base OF
mountain ranges, followed the slnuos-
ties OF canyons and rounding rcints in
such manner as to catch all the storm
water before it could he drunk up by
the loose sands at the mountains
base. Reservoirs at convenient basins
stored the water which was led in
cemented ditches across the luoso soil
TO where it was needed for use.
"Chasms were crossed 10y vladucts
and wonderful engineering devices
were employed for the removal Of
silt that might be used as an aid to
fertility of loose and sandy soils, other
wise valueless. Into some OF thtse
bitches lava has run, showing their
immense antiquity. Others are now
covered with shifting sands but
enough are now visible in many places
in New Mexico to enable skilled en-
gineers to understand the system
which prehistoric New Mexcans
rendered so effective.

describe a grander or more exciting scene. The effect of the full moon on the huge masses of ice with their po- sitions always changing, coupled with the dangers which constantly threaten ed the ship and the lives of those on board, made the trip an exciting one which none of those who were on board will ever forget. Le Conte glacier, which is the cause of all the ice in the bay. was first discovered in 1854, by 8 French explorer whose name it bears. It is an extremely active glacier, hav- ing 8 movement of 28 feet every A houre. Nothing definite is known as to its extent as no person is known to have crossed 1t. From the mountains along the shore it can be seen stretch ing back from tide water for distance of about 25 miles, when it is lost to view among the snow-capped peaks of the mountains. As early as 1864, sailing ships were engaged In carrying ice from Le Conte Bay to San Francisco; but this trade is long since done away with.

 IS BOOMING Gold and Copper Found in Enormous Quantities. ketchikan The Center of The Greatest Mineral Belt in the
 World. :

Ketchikan seems to be the center on which all eyes are at present turned with the full knowledge that sooner or later that point will be the center of the mining District for Southeastern Alaska. Each steamer brings news of new and greater discoveries in the vic- inity of that point. The latest authen- tic news shows that the large body of mineral found on the east shore of Prince of Wales Island, in CholmOnde- ly Sound, is liable to prove the most valuable of any so far found in Alaska. The rock runs from P to 20 per cent copper and it is found in enormous quantities. The veln, or more proper ly speaking the deposit is more than 300 feet across the face and extends from the water as far up the hillside as 2OOO feet. It may extend even farther ,but if so, the fact is not known at the present time. The excitement at Ket- chikan is very great. Prospectors are rushing to Prince of Wales; and the near future will see some wonderful discoveries in that country. There are already a great many mining experts in the country, and so for, all have pronounced the country the best they ever saw. The last trip of the s.s. Cot tage City carried south a number of capitalists and mining experts who have interests near Ketchikan, and who are loud in their praise of that district. Judge Mullin of Juneau who was passenger on the Cottage City reports that at no time have the pros- poets for the rapid development of Southeastern Alaska been so bright as they are to day. "I have said the Judge "a number of properties located on Prince of Wales island and in the vicinity of ketchikan, which consider as being very valuable and am going ahead with development work as fast as possible" Asked reparding the future of Southeastern Alaska, the Judge said: Southeastern Alaska IS in its infancy. It is without doubt the richest country ever discovered, and the extent of it is so great that new mines will continue to be discovered for years to cOme."
 Judge Mullen expects to spend some time near Ketchikan in prospecting and incidentally picking up few rich claims which have already been locat- ed.

Rev. Mir. Corser. on being shown the article in the Douglas Island News, re- tlecting on his sermon of Sunday, Aug. 6th., said in his usual good-natured way, that he could not afford to enter into a newspaper discussion with sen- for editor, touching the orthordoxy of his sermons. nor was he.inclined to cor rect the numerous misinterpretations in the article, but was quite willing to make his position clear on these, or any other kindred questions. He said: Evolution as applied to physical nat ure is no longer theory resting upon the logic of a Darwin or Spenser, but is an established fact. The evidence is indelibly stamped in the Rocks of Ages, from the primary stratum of the Silurian period, to the last sod of the Tertiary. It is an open book as plain as Holy Writ.
 We hold that it is more conclusive to the interests of Christianity, and an honest belief in the inspiration of the Scriptures, to show that there is no an- tagonism between religion and science, when both are rightly interpreted, than to try to disprove one by the other Neither do we think it necessary in the interests of Christianity to ignore pal pable facts, and by taking literal and narrow view of the Scriptures, try to prove that The sun do move.
 The reference to the clam as Once a clam always clam, we may believe was pure figure of speech, used by way of illustration, and was not inten- ded to be personal at all and we are sorry it was so taken by the Douglas City editor.'

Sir Charles Tupper On The
 Boundary.
Canada Must Have Route.
A dispatch from London says:

A dispatch from London says:
 Sir Charles Tupper has left London for brief stay in the country. He came across to attend, as chairman, the annual meeting of the British Colum- bla new gold fields company, which, after two years of active work, declar- ed dividen of 20 per cent.
 Although his visit is in no way offic- ial, he has given the interested author ltles his views on the Alaskan bound- ary difficuity.
 Sir Charles says that he has always tried to keep on the most friendly terms with the United States, but that in diplomacy it is a difficult matter. If America were just, or beleived her claims were just he thinks that the whole question would be referred to arbitration unreservedly. He believes the Washington D. C., authorities will have some ditficulity in explaining sat- isfactorily. any opposition to arbitra- tion to people who he is sure want only what is just
 If arbitration is not to be had he firm ly beleives that by running railroad through British territory exclusively to Dawson, any hope that America may have of establishing great ship ping trade to the Klondike region will be shattered. Yet he is not certain, arbitration or none, that it would not be a good policy for Canada to build the railroad, although many hundreds of miles must pass through inhospitable desert.
 He looks forward to the next general election to place the Conservatives in power, in which case vigorous Cana dian policy is promised.
 He sails for Montreal in September

THE BONNIE BRIER BUSH.
Its First Presentation In This city Las
Might.

l
Not since the days of "Hazel Kirk
| has a more beautiful drama been pre-
| sented in this city than Beside the
Bonnie Brier Bush" which was given
| its first production in this city last even
! ing in the presence of an audience which
| crowded the house The play differs in
many respects from the storyalthough
| the characters are identical with those
| portrayed by Ian Maclaren. 1t more re-
sembles way Down East than any
other play presented here this season.
| OF it's ultimate success there can be no
doubt The characters so nobly drawn
! by Dr. Watson are we'll defined in the
dramatization by James Macarthur and
Tom Hall. In fact all lovers of the book
cannot we'll afford to miss the production
of this piece,
The incident on which the story OF
the play in great measure hangs is the
marriage of Flora and her lover, Lord
Donald Hay, by Scottish rites. On the
eve of his departure from Drumtochty
he places on her finger his mothers
wedding ring and proclaims her as his
wife. Yet according to the Scottish law
a witness was necessary to make the
the person of Posty," the letter carrier,
otherwise, known as Arthur Macklt-
trick, who was concealed behind the
haystack and at the proper time comes
forward and declares that he witnessed
the ceremony.
OF the entire production nothing but
praise can be given. From scenic
point of view there has seldom been
shown in this city more beautiful seen
cry than that which is presented in this
play. More especially should be men
toned the farm scene in the first act,
1t is indeed a great cast which has been
gathered together to, present this
drama. First of ell, there is j, IL.
Stoddard, the venerable sage of the
American stage, who for over forty
years has been before the public, and
each year has added new lustre to his
history. There is no one to-day who
can fill this fine old mans place While
seventy-four years of age, he is still an
active man, and shows but little his
advanced age. He is ably assisted by
Edith Atherton, and she did most ex-
celent in her part as Kate Carnegie.
Reuben Fax as Posey made a most de-
Cided hit Others deserving or special
mention are Allen Davenport, Charles
Stewart, Frances Green and Carrie lee
Stoyle. Among those in the audience
were the officers of Clan Mcleod and
the Caledonian clubs, who were the
guests of Mr. Bunnell. There was also
a number of we'll known New York
managers present, including Mr.. Klaw, |
Kirk La Shelle, F. M. Rankin, A. Err |
LANCER, Charles Osgood, Charles and |
Daniel Frohman, Rich and Harris, and |
Jacob Lift There will be another per-
Torrance this evening of this most ex-
cellent production, and already there |
has been q very large sale of seats, but |
there are still a number of good seats
to be had. 1t is a treat to see such
production as was given last night, and |
there should be very large audience
present tonight

THE MIDNIGHT SKIES.

To infinite minds there can but be
The finite in infinity;
And as within it's systems space
Each planet has allotted place,
The whole must be continent
Within unundreamt-of limits pent.
Again, if that be true indeed,
That all the stars together speed
Forever through the empty vast,
One must be first and one be last.
Then, as the midnight skies we scan,
Think of that star which leads the
van:
Flung back by whose huge PROV the
seas
OF terrible tranquilities,
Aroused to Intellectual storm,
Surge round the stars that following
swarm,
in new amazement, till the last
ale laggard of them all is past;
And all the fiery burrows fade
Gods words in splendid passage made.
