IRRIGATION Scheme

Senator Dubois oi Idaho, proposes
to devot,. the earnings OF the United
States Land Office to the establish
ment OF a complete irrigation system
in the arid west He announces that
all the congressman OF California,
Idaho. Wyoming Montana. Utah, the
DaIotas, Nebraska, Colorado, and
Nevada have practically agreed to a
concerted plan OF action in support OF
this TO secure an appropriation Tor If
rigation.
The receipts Tor the sale OF govern
ment lands above expenses are to be
used to build great reservoirs and ca
nails to catch the wafer that comes
from the snow on the mountains, he
said.
You see, government irrigation will
permit lands now used to be reclaim
ed and sold to homeseekers, which will
each year raise more money and in
this way the system will be virtually
sclf-supporting after it is started
The reservoirs which must cost mil
lions, will be built as fast as the in
come allows.
There are now 100000 acres O.
land to be reclaimed in this way. IL
600, 900 in Idaho alone. In Snake rive,

have been built by private owners, =.
100000 acres have been made fertil,

Lost Gunsight Mine.

An Inyo county prospector is the
latest to lay claim to the re-discovery
OF the lost Gunsight mine, which he
says is located in the Funeral noun
desert. He says he saw boulders OF
many tons weight of pure galena ore
that had become detached from the
surface groupings of ledge over thirty
feet in width. There is no water
within twenty-five miles OF the locality
which is described as the most DESC
late region ever trod by man, the only
living things seen in the barren waste
being horned toads and lizards, and
what these reptiles subsist on is a
mystery, as there is not vestige OF
vege tation visible.
The story OF the original discovery
OF the Gunsight mine is familiar to
every prospcctor from the Missouri
river to the Mohave desert The story
