A Great irrigation Project.

During the past season notable sur
vey has been carried to completion in
western Colorado by the United States
Geological Survey. For number OF
years the question of the practicable
ty of diverting water from the Grand
Canyon of the Gunnison River, for the
the reclamation of lands in the Gn-
compahgre Valley, has been periodi-
cally agitated. Previous gagings and
measurements by the Geological Sur
vey and local engineers had shown that
the water of the Gunuison were sufi
cient in quantity, and the bed of the
stream high enough in elevation, to
make the plan feasible. This season s
work was devoted to finding the short
est route and the probable cost OF con
struction of diversion canal. Owing
to the fact that the water must be tax
en- from an unexplored canyon of about
two thousand feet in depth, and of un
known dangers. the work proved to be
extremely difficult. 1t was, however,
successfully accomplished, the canyon
being thoroughly explored and photo
graphed by Mr.. A. L. Fellows, whose
work stands as one of the most daring
and difficult achievements of the year
in the annals of the Survey. With
one companion, Mr.. Fellows succeed
ed in traversing the canyon, which ex-
perienced explorers have thus far fail
ed in doing, by being swept over the
falls and rapids. and by climbing along
the precipitous walls, finally coming
out at the lower end after days and
nights of hardship. The results of the
survey show that a tunnel about six
miles in length is necessary to bring
the water from the river to the arid
lands, and that the cost will be we'll
within the limits of a reasonable out
lay. The State of Colorado is now ex.
pending $25. 900 upon the preliminary
work of construction.

ed defile that answered to the vision
of his dream. He fell out of ranks
with feet sore and limbs so stiff that
he could not walk another step. Just
then the bugle sounded in front. He
forgot all about sore feet and stiff
limbs, and ran forward, as he express
ed it, like lame camel. He went
through the defile at limping gallop.
A dozen shots or more were fired, but
not bullet struck him, and when he
got through he said to me privately
that he would never be depressed by

Nine Ways To Cure Man OLA Snake.

Henry Huesselman, the man with the
snake in his stomach, is in receipt o1
hundreds of letters of advice.
Nine persons advised inhaling the
steam of boiling milk. A fast of foul
days. duration was to be undergone
first, which would cause his 'snake
ship" to become thirsty and hungry
He would scent the milk and would
wriggle out.
Three advised him to fast for three
days, then to lie face downward at the
side of running brook with his mouth
open. The snakd would be thirsty
and, seeing the reflection of the sun
shining on the water, would jump out.
This is said to be the favorite treat
ment for Indians who have snakes.
Two said that if the victim would
drink fresh lambs blood the snake
would leave its habitation.
Salt pork, said two. eaten and follow
ed by a four days fast, after which he
was to lie in q sIanting position. with
head down to pan OF water or a stream
would cure Mr.. Husselman.
Salt fish. fresh from the brine, was
favored by two women.
One man said he would drop fish
hook and line down his throat.
Drinking of sweet milk was favor
ite remedy with another
Another was sure the enchanting
odor of fresh broiled steak after few
days fasting would coax ''the thing"
out.
Four faith-curists and ''healers"
advised him to call on them.
Mr.. Huesselman tried all OF the re-
medies years ago and none proved ef-
fective. He says now that the snake
is too large to pass out of his throat
and would sooner remain where it is.
He has received recently perfect
avalanche of mail from men, women
and children who say they know of
similar cases and offered cures and
advice.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Academy of Music.

The hare announcement of the coming
of ARIZONA is. as a rule, sufficient an
advertisement to cause a stream OF
prospective patrons to besiege the box
office of the theatre at which it is to be
produced. and we have no doubt that the
Academy will be no exception to the rule
when it appears here next week. The
plot of Arizona" is pure, wholesome
and entertaining. The characters are en-
tirelv original and exact counterpart OF
the varied inhabitants of the territory
from which the play derives its name
There are pathetic passages interviewer
with amusing comedy, there are tender
love intr.gues interspersed with stirring
scenes and thrilling incidents. The SOL
diers of one of Uncle Sans forts are
served in contrast to the cowboys, -'Aexi-
cans, Chinese, and the sturdy, hard 6sted
but warm hearted ranchmen. There are
the beautiful. intelligent daughters of
Canby who furnish a touch Of society life
for the educated officers of the cavalry
whom fate has sent to this dry, acid
country. In fact each character con-
trasts strangely with its fellow yet taken
as whole the blending furnishes what
the author desired, a concoction pleasant
to take. The scenic investiture is an
exact reproduction of the original locali-
ties and furnishes beautiful background
for the action of the play. In ARIZONA
Mr.. Thomas has written great play as
both press and public have agreed.
There will be matinees OH Tuesday,
Thursday New Years Day. and Satur-
