A HIGH BRIDGE.

The highest bridge in the world has
just been completed in Alaska. 1t spans
a gorge on the White Pass & Yukon
railroad. and does away with a switch
back. The bridge over the main por-
tion Of the gorge Is 400 feet long, and
with the trestle work at each approach
$50 feet long. The track Is $50 feet
above the lowest part Of the gorge. The
steel work is 30 feet high. AS may be
imagined, it cost large sum Of money,
but a comparatively small sum as COM
pared with the cost Of the entire road.
1t would seem that the promoters have
unlimited capital at their back.
Among other late news from Alaska
Is reported rich strike on the Tanana
river. It is said that the gold runs $14
to the pan. The report caused the Wild
est excitement at points all alnog the
trail where 1t was received, and a num-
Der of people were preparing to stam-
pede as soon as more definite informa-
ton was received. The particulars first
received were very meager.

is OUR UNDERTOOK IN DANGER
A short time ago the writer was
shown IA circular which is being de-
stributed by large corporation oper-
ating In the eastern part of Colorado
In the Arkansas Valley, which was
something of a revelation. This cor
poratiOn had obtained title to all the
land along a certain big ditch and
around certain territory they concluded
could be brought under irrigation.
The land, as We understand IL, had
been proved up as government land
and reverted to the mortgage compa-
MES. From the mortgage companies
they got title. The corporation also
purchased a big ditch which had been
started, and conceived the idea of u.s.
Ing 1t to turn water into several large
sink holes which with comparatively
little work at their outlets were con-
verted into enormous reservoirs.
