Last week some 1000 acres of
Government desert land on the
east side of Salmon river, also
on this side of the river, by par
ties in Custer county and else
where. The building of the Sal
mon River railroad has something
to do with the activity in this
valley in real estate. 1t is the
intention of the locators of this
land to form a stock company
and take large irrigating canal
out of Salmon river at or near
Mock's wheel. Nearly all the
arid land in the valley on the
east side of the river can be re-
claimed by such a canal, besides
nearly all this land is excellent
for farming purposes.
A letter from Robert Bell, who
is now sizing up the situation at
Challis, says a body of very fine
smelling ore has been opened up
i'll the famous old Democrat vein
at Bayhorse by lessees. The
chute is no less than 40 feet in
length, says the writer, with a
width of 4 feet, while the ores
show an average of 100 ounces
silver, 50 per cent lead, 5 per
copper and So gold per ton. Two
carloads of this ore have already
been forwarded to the smelter
that yielded the owners as much
as $1,000 per car. while at the
surface are at least five carloads
more of the same grade awaiting
transportation. The mine is in
the lime belt, and is owned by
VIM. j. Treloar. 1t also adjoins
the Pacific group. owned by j
McGregor of Salt Lake. w

ously to small crew q

Short Line branch to SAN x
river, Bayhorse district, f0S
which Hon. o. j. Salisbury of
this city has done so much, will
begin the production of a very
heavy tonnage. There are no
less than 40. 900 tons of smelling
ore blocked out in the camp, ac-
cording to Mr.. Bells observa-
tions, that will average $50 in
copper aud gold, silver and lead.
Mr.. Bell is very enthusiastic over
the outlook at Bayhorse, where
the choicest propositions are now
controlled by Salt Lake talent

AMONG THE RAILWAYS,
Rock Island VIII Run Cheap Excursions
to Colorado.

TO NoiofauOs
The Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific
railway, which made phenomenal sue
cess of cheap excursion rates to Colorado
last season. has again asked Its competi-
tors In the Western and Southwestern
Passenger associations to agree upon n
series OF cheap excursions TO and from
Denver. Colorado Springs. and Pueblo. for
the approaching season. on the following
basis: Tickets to be sold from Chicago
and all territory up to Missouri river.
June Is. Is. July iG. p and 30. Aug. Q. IL. 20
and q, at rate OF one fare plus 81, or &3i. so
for the round trip.
On July 2 and and Sept J and 10 a rate
OF s25 Is to be made from Chicago, and
SIS from Missouri river points for the
round trip. intermediate territory will
have proportionate rates. Tickets are to
be sold from Missouri river points one
day later than the dates given above In
each case. Proportionate rates will be
made to and from Glenwood Springs. Salt
Lake City and Ogden.
A series of east-bound excursions Is also
proposed, tickets TO be sold from Colorado
common points every Thursday, COM
mencing with June 20 up TO and including
Sept. Il. at n rate OF one fare plus 81 for
the round trip. All tickets will be limited
for return passage to Oct. 81. These rates
will be rendered connecting lines for bas-
Ing purposes, which will probably insure
n very low basis OF rates throughout tho
United States for these excursions.
The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
will unquestionably make these rates and
arrangements effective. regardless of the
action of Its competitors and will run
special trains. only one night out to and
from Colorado. on the dates named.-Chi-

FAVOR PANAMA CANAL.
Il Could De Built for Less Than tho Mic
raUun Lima

Il Gould he Built for Less Than the Mica
raguA Line.
The Washington correspondent Of
the Chicago Record says the final data
of the Panama and Daricn commits
sions has been complete for consid-
cradle time. The commissions will ver-
lfy the conclusions OF the International
isthmian commission as to the entire
feasibility within the range of present
engineering practice of the Panama Gu
nal, which 1t will say can be con-
pleted at less cost than that for which
the canal at Nicaragua can be built.
The plans Of the commission contem-
plate a change In the French scheme
for the summit level of the canal, do
ing away with the feeder conduit from
the Abrnjuela down, providing n dry
weather water supply and controlling
the Chagres flood by allowing a rise of
eight feet in B0hro lake. A similar
plan has been adopted for the Nicara-
qua route with Lake Nicaragua. A
storage supply is necessary In both
schemes for lockage and evaporation
during the dry months. To hold back
the lake water at high level large dams
are necessary In either case.
