Petition Granted.

The board of county commissioners late last
evening granted the petition of those seeking
to build the High Line canal under the provi-
sions of the Wright Irrigation law. The agree
ment was reached under compromise made
with those who were opposing the construction
of the ditch. 1t provides that the government
land is not to be taken into the boundaries of
the ditch and also that the lands of the Mt.
Lincoln Ditch company shall also be exempt
The election to vote bonds for this great en-
terprise has been fixed for November a0th and
it will without any question carry. almost or
quite unanimously.
The promotion of this great enterprise means
much for this whole section of Colorado. There
will be brought under water many thousands of
acres of the best land in America, which will
produce just abundantly the lands that
now selling at high figures and which are
being sought with avidity, the more their pro-
ductiveness becomes known.
For years the building of a High Line canal
by the government or private enterprise has
been much sought end. II the present propo-
sal is carried and the bonds sold for its con.
struction it should increase the population OF
this county greatly and almost double the pop
ulation of this city.
On the 9th OF January, in special issue OF
this paper, there predicted for the year
1903 a consummation of a number of enterprises,
which seem to be nearing fruition. They were
the completion of the smelter, the operation of
the Sugar factory in the year 1901, with large
acreage of beets and the building of the long
desired High Line canal bringing under culti-
vation an acreage sufficient to support a large
number of people on farms and the creation of

Big Strike.

What promises to be one of the
most valuable and substantial strikes
yet made in the basin is that made in
the Mineral mountain tunnel. ON last
Saturday by Roger Sullivan and Jim
mie Shaw, who are working the as
sessment in that property for Richard
Dillon, who is now in La Canenea.

The most surprising feature about
it is that no such ore was expected to
be found at this point as it has been
calculated that the Skylark copper
vein would be intersected here. The
vein lays at right angles with the
tunnel course and shows up on both
sides in a well defined ledge.
When the strike was announced
everybody began panning the ore with

Judged that the. ore will run high in
good values. Samples have been sent
to Salt Lake City and Colorado points

about 300 feet. with vertical
depth of about 100 feet giving them
ample room for stopping privileges and

Lend Respect.

Last Sunday afternoon, while the funeral
cortege conducting the body of the late James
A. Layton, was passing down Fifth street and
when it would have seemed that any one would
for the moment have had sufficient courtesy to
lend respect to the dead especially as he was
one who had contributed to the upbuilding of
this city and section of country, the blatant
mouth socialist orator sent forth his bellowings
with even more fervor than usual. 1t would
have seemed that under the circumstances he
would have desisted for the time being, but no,
with his utterances, And yet there are some
few very few indeed though, who persist in
for such men.
