A woman was recently arrested for
begging in the streets of New York
She was well known to the police, and
when her case was called some curious
information about her was brought
out. She always had a thin. fretful
baby in her arms, and the baby con.
stantiy cried. That was her capital.
and to keep it unimpaired and produc-
tive, she made a practice of pinching
the child whenever it seemed inclined
to settle into quiet. The ruse was 20
successful that the beggar had a COM
Portable bank account and a we'll
furnished home. All of which bears
out the wisdom Of little investigation
before bestowing charity, even when
the case appeals strongly to the sym.

mountain side, finally pouring it into Sill
yer lake.
This body of water being situated over
the divide from Anaconda, something
I mad to be done to convey the water into
Warm Springs creek, so a pumping sta
ton is an absolute necessity at this
point.
This was realized when after three
years of unceasng effort it was found
impossible to drive tunnel and tap the
lake near the bottom because of quick
sand encountered. The proposed tunnel
was a remarkable piece of engineering
work, and but for the unexpected diff
culties experienced would have been
practical.
1t was to have been driven from the
foot Of the hill on the Anaconda side
Of the lake, and would have tapped that
body of water many feet underground.
AS has been stated, the quicksand en-
countered rendered the feat impossible.
and after trying for three years the pro-
ject was abandoned.
The pumping station, put In and MAIN
tanned at an immense cost, solves the
problem of getting the Silver lake water
into Anaconda and to the smelters for
all time.
By means of this pumping station the
Silver lake waters are emptied into Warm
Springs creek, but some four miles west
of Anaconda it is again taken up by
system of fumes and thence down the
valley towards the city and through the
various arteries distributed to consum-
erS.
The construction of these fumes was
commenced last year, under the super
vision of F. A. Jones, chief engineer
of the Butte, Anaconda & Pacific rail-
ho hoe Incl LOFT cd
at a cost, it is said, of more than 100000.
The kind of flume used is of the box
shape order, Of the dimensions of 4x7
feet, and so arranged that an additional
plank can be used to enlarge the dimen-
sions to SKI feet. Only f1rst-class pine
lumber is used for the box fumes.
Wherever deep gulches appear along
the line of the flume the contour of the
surface is followed. This is done by the
use of 66-inch redwood piping, built
where 1t is laid and covered up by several
feet of earth. Four gulches are crossed
over in this manner, namely, Race Track,
Sheep. Birch and Walkers.
The total length of the main flume to
the new works is about eight miles, and
approximately 100000 feet of lumber
was used in its conservation. At the
new smelters the water is delivered into
huge tanks Of immense storage capacity,
built at convenient points about the
premises.
Something Of the size Of the flume can
be attained by noting that it has ca
pacity of delivering to it's destination
10000 gallons of water per minutes. The
present capacity Of the pumps installed
at the Silver lake station is $4,000 gallons
per minute, but in due time will be en-
larged.

1t is doubtful If another city in Mon
tana or elsewhere can boast of the ad-
vantages found here for generous water
supply.
The subject has only been touched on
lightly, but to give more of an idea of
, the actual conditions, it is we'll to give
some details along those lines.
AS stated elsewhere, the Anaconda
company has found in the past che
natural flow in Warm Springs creek of
sufficient volume to meet all require
ments. For domestic purposes Lake
Hearst, nine miles away, most beauti-
full body of clear, sparkling water which
has it's beginning on Mount Haggin's
snow-capped peak, furnishes the present
needs Up to this year sufficient water
came from Lake Hearst, down Warm
Springs creek and through the various
systems of fumes, to keep the citizens Of
the town and the old smelters supplied;
but now that the city has grown in pop
ulation, the smelling industry expanded,
other reserves have been called into use,
but only after great expense has been

gone to In the construction Of reservoirs,
dams, fumes, tunnels and other things
necessary to divert the mountain streams
from their natural channels and transfer
the waters of numerous lakes to one To-
Gated at a point of vantage.
Situated in the mountains, within a
radius of rs miles from Anaconda, are
numerous lakes that can reinforce Ana
conda's water supply.
Some of them have already been called
upon. Eighteen miles west of the city is
Silver lake, where last year and this
great sums of money were expended in
improvements. By means of an immense
dam Silver lake has been greatly en-
larged, until it's storage capacity has be-
come seemingly almost incalculable.
Into Silver lake is emptied the waters
of Storm lake, higher up in the mountains
and "a miles from Anaconda. Storm
lake. while not so large as some others,
is in the center of a great water catching

The transfer to Silver lake is made
