A Western Curiosity.

Cross & Baker this week shipped to
Professor Rornadsy, of the New Yo'k
geological park, curiosi y in natural
history, being two pairs OF mule deer
antlers 80 tightly interlocked that 1T is
impossible to separate them without
breaking them They toll the story OF
the fierce battle OF the two bucks and
indicate that in the fierceness Of their
fight the animals came together with
such force as to spring their horns,
which once locked, held the noble ami
mails together until their death.
These specimens were found on Pice-
ance creek soon after the animals had
died of sheer exhaustion from their in
effectual efforts to libefate themselves.
Similar finds have been reported from
various sections of the west; in one in
stance hunter finding two bucks thus
locked together, one Of them dead and
the other after dragging his dead com
batant several feet and eating every
spear Of grass in rerch, was almost dead

UTAH WITH US.
Representative Mohr of Grand
County will Work for Appro-
priation for Survey for
HiQh Line Extension

A. P. Mohr of Grand county, Utah,
representative in the Utah Legislature,
was q visitor to the city today, and made
a call on The Sentinel. in the interests OF
the proposed high Line ditch, which he
hopes to see extended into Utah.
Representative Mohr has been in con-
sultation with number of people in this
city in the last few days, securing from
them all the knowledge possible about
the proposed High Line ditch which he
will incorporate in his memorial to the
Utah legislature, when he will present a
bill, asking for sufficient money to prop
erly survey the line of tho High Line
canal into Utah.
He has made very thorough investi-
gatisn Of the matter OF extending the
proposed canal into Utah for the recla-
nation the great body of land lying close
to the Colorado line and which is now
nothing more than desert.
Mr.. Mshr met Charles N. Cox today
and consulted with him along the lines
which Mr.. Cox is working, with view
to assist him a. far as possible by a pro-
posed sale Of water to the state or to IN
dividuals, il the csnnal reaches the state
line.
Representative Aohr is thoroughly in
earnest about the matter and has most
thorough knowledge in regard to the
great opportunity which must arise from
tho snriching of all this country contigu-
Gus to the border line Of Colorado and
Utah, by the building of this great canal
and will work with the utmost zeal and
energy at the coming Utah Legislature to
secure from the state the appropriation
to make the survey.
There il sufficient fall from the state
line to Green River to make the water
flow we'll. At the state line the altitude
10 400 feet and at Green River, seventy
Ave miles west, it is 1859 feet, more than
. sufficient fall for water flowing in a
canal.
Speaking Of the land to be reclaimed
in the construction Of the canal, in Utah
alone, Mr. Mohr says it will reach at least
5O0.OOO acres.
Representative Mohr says that, if the
scheme to construct the High Line canal
is successful id this county he has assur-
ancss that it will receive the moral sup
