IRRIGATION IN PERU.

The agitation and discussion of the
subject OF irrigation In the Western
United States the past few years BE-
bearing direct results outside OF mis-
nation. Peru being one OF the countries
that is awakening TO its own POSSIBLE
files as result OF learning what IS
being accomplished 90 this part Of the
world The South American republic
has been living mainly on It's products
Of the precious metals and guano and
saltpotre. while its neIghbOr, Chile
which had more low-lying moist ag-
r.culurol land, has supplied PeruyIans
with forty-four important articles Of
daily use which, by means OF irrIga
ton, could be produced at home.
Attention TO this fact was brought
about by discussions and investIga-
lions having their foundation chiefly
In Utah. From here they have spread
and through irrigation congresses and
publications have obtained notice from
leaders OF Peruvian thought and policy
until. as a result Of investigation, the
government has had prepared and
published a volume entitled LAS IT.
rlraclonos de- la Costa" CThe Irrigation
Of the COAST. its author being Sehor
Don Fredrlco Moreno, a Peruvian writ
cr Of national reputation.
It has been shown also by practical
experiments that the agricultural de-
velopment Of Peru can be enhanced TO
a wonderful degree by an irrigation
system such as prevails In the West
and activity IS now rife IN this direc-
ton. Senior Moreno's book gives much
detailed information TO agricultural
lists, and this, with the government en-
enlargement and construction Of irri-
CATION bitches. Is opening a new future
for the land Of the Incas. The Utah
system Is being still further followed
ln an effort which has the government
support, TO change the existing con
dIuon OF immense tracts Of country be-

May Have Been IL Mistake.


A Cripple Creek special to Sunday
Rocky Monntain News says that some of
the friends of Bob Curry, alias Bob Lee
claim that great mistake has been made
by the officers who caused tho arrest.
Curry IS charged with being party to
the train robbery at Wilcox, Wyo., June
., 1899, and also tho killing of Sheriff
Hazen june 4, 1899. 1t is claimed by
friends OF Curry that he was engaged at
Black Hawk and Central City selling an
improved amalgamator, and that he
operated it from May 20, 1899, until long
after the occurrence OF the train robbery
and the tragedy in which the sheriff met
his death. Charles Cotton, n wellknown
resident of Cripple Creek says he was in
Black Hawk about the time of the rob
berry and remembers distinctly OF meet
ing Curry there. There is also in Grip.
pie Creek letter dated June 10, written
from Black Hawk by Curry to friend
in Cripple Creek. The friends of Curry
claim that he can prove the strongest
kind Of an alibi, and that he had no con.
nection with the train robbery or the
killing of the sheriff.

MORE MINING LITIGATION.

Tho Idaho Springs correspondent OF
the Denver Evening Times says that the
Garden Mining company is in litigation
again. II. II. Sims, owner of the Hope
claim, has brought suit against the Gar
den people, claiming they are extracting
ore from his ground. From reports it is
evident this is to be n hard fought bat.
tie between the owners OF the two prop.
critics, owning patented veins. 1t will
he remembered that the Sun and Moon
company and Garden people had trouble
two years ago, and the differences were
settled by arbitration. Since that time
the Garden has been doing considerable
development, and the leasers recently
opened into good bodies of mineral by
cross cutting from the drifts. The Gar.
den company contends that the ore is
found on the hanging wall. Smith
claims that they are taking the mineral
from his vein. The ore is running over
800 per ton and the streak is wide. The
Sun and Moon company have the same
character Of ore in the Minott shaft, but

patent is founded?
Third-As against the owner Of the
tunnel claim, have the original owners
OF the senior surface claim, who have ac-
cepted the deed of the locator of the
junior surface claim and permitted the
disputed territory to be patented upon
that claim, any other or better title to
the blind veins in the disputed territory
than their grantee, the owner OF the
junior surface lode mining claim, had?
Fourth-Does the location and prose-
cution Of his tunnel by the tunnel claim
ant and his discovery of such unknown
veins within it give him any right to con
test the validity OF such a prior surface
claim?
Fifth-On the facts aforesaid can the
Matoa Gold Mining company, the de-
fendant in error, claim title by relation
to the 1872 of an acre of land aforesaid,
and all undiscovered veins therein, as
against the Chicago Cripple Creek Gold
Mining company, as OF the date when
said Gold Pass claim No. was located,
that is to say, as of November ~, 1891,
or does its title to the said .432 of an
acre of land take effect by relation as of
the date when the Jubilee claim was 10.
Gated, to-wit: November 8, 1891?
Sixth-On the state of facts aforesaid,
is the Matoa Gold Mining company lin
tied to such title only, to the 432 of an
acre aforesaid, as the owner of the
Jubilee claim might assert in right of
his location of said claim, made on No
vember S, 1894, and in right of that loca-
ton only?

MINING QUESTIONS SENT TO THE sU-
PREME COURT.


Some of the most important questions
in mining law ever raised in Colorado
have just been submitted to the supreme
court of the United States for solution,
says the Rocky Mountain News. They
are embraced in the hard-foaght litiga-
tion between the Chicago Cripple Creek
Gold Mining company and the Matoa
Gold Mining company. The controversy
has gone up from court to court, until it
has reached the goal on an agreed state
ment OF questions. Some of the ques-
tions that the supreme court is asked to
decide-which will take about two years
follow:
First-Doos the owner of n valid tun.
mel claim, tunnel site and tunnel lose his
right to an undiscovered vein which
does not appear on the surface, and
which is unknown until he cuts and dis.
covers it in his tunnel within the limits
of junior surface lode claim, which lies
across the the line of his tunnel nfter
that claim has been patented by his
failure to make any adverse claim under
sections 1925 and 1926 OF the revised
statutes, when the locator OF a junior
surface claim applies for his patent?
Second-After there have been upon
disputed territory, through which the
line OF n tunnel is projected and duly To-
Gated, surface lode mining claim,
whose location is senior to that OF the
tunnel claim, and surface lode mining
claim whose location is junior to that OF
the tunnel claim, and after the owners of
the senior surface claim have failed to
adverse the jnnior surface claim, when
the owner of the latter applied for his
patent, have permitted the disputed
property to be patented to the owner Of
the junior surface claim, have taken n
patent to the senior surface claim, which
expressly excludes the disputed territory
and have accepted deed OF this terri
tory from the locator OF the junior sur.
face claim, in which the latter has ex-
pressly reserved to himself all the ore in
the disputed territory upon the vein
which he has discovered.
Have these owners OF the senior sur.
face claim, as against the owner OF the
intermediate tunnel claim, any right or
title to the undiscovered veins in the
disputed territory, or to the ore therein
under the patent TO their claim, which
expressly excludes thnt territory, OF

veins. Two officers Of the company,
Captain e. M. Steadman and Lieutenant

American City, settlement near the
Mascot vein. a refusal of the officers OF
the company to account for their actions
was the cause of the action taken by the

| The Rocky Mountain News says that
the receipts Of the United States mint at
Denver for the month of February show
falling off of nearly 100000 from the
corresponding month last year, when the
amount was S1,745, ,463.53. This year it
is s1,349,673.74, or 1895, ,7s9.79 less. This
is due to the smelter trust shipping its

The Central City mine is being put in
shape for continuous working by j. II.

Alfred Wettstein, of the Surprise
mine, Vermillion district, came in on
Tuesday. He states that in the lower
level, where he has been working, the
crevice matter is pretty badly broken up
from cross veins or feeders. He is OF
the opinion that greater depth is re-
quired before the crevice matter will be-
