The GUnniSOn
Tunnel Project.

The government has Officially an
nounced its intention to begin at once
the reclamation of Colorado's arid
land. The Gunnison tunnel project
will be the first one taken up as it has
advanced further than any of the
others under consideration. This an
nouncement is encouraging to say the
least. 1t shows that the government
is not only in earnest but that it ex-
poets to build the irrigation canals
which are found to be feasible without
any DELAYS The Denver News SAYS:
All Denver was astonished by the
announcement in yesterdays News
that the federal government is going
TO start work upon Colorado's great
irrigation projects as soon as possible.
The magnitude of the undertaking is
so great that there is a natural he 81
tation on its belief However. the
news is official. for A. Lincoln Eel
lows. the resident photographer in
charge of the surveys. received notifi-
cation from Washington ON Saturday
that the department stands ready to
begin work on the project which i,
farthest advanced. and that is the one
known as the Gunnison tunnel.
Since last July civil engineers and
tn ,ir assistants have been at work in
the Gunnison country mapping out the
route of the canal and securing all the
nece ssary data for its construction.
Forces have also been at work in the
Pawnee butte country and in the re-
gion of the Grand river, but only
since September. and their work is
not far enough advanced for the def
mite announcement of plans regarding
it.
The full importance of the Gunni
son tunnel project is not grasped at
first sight. At the pre- sent time the
country to be irrigated is an arid
grazing ground for the most part. and
worth only nominal sum per acre.
Part of it. is watered by the Uncom-
pahgre river. small stream which
goes dry at times.
This country comprises over 1876. 900
acres of land. joining the rich fruit
land of Montrose and its vicinity.
The few parts of it already irrigated
are highly prolific in their yield of
fruit and it is confidently stated that
when the canal goes through the land
will improve so much that $50 will
be conservative estimate for its
value per acre.
In the work there will be six miles
of tunneling and fifty men will be
employed upon that branch of the
work all the time. Three years will
see the completion of the work. it is
thought. and not less than 81 800, 600
will be required to foot the bills.
which under the reclamation act. will
be refunded to the government. Two
hundred men will be employed ON the
canal.
This will be the first step in the de-
velopment of the immense latent re-
sources of Colorado The success of |
irrigation has been demonstrated and |
the government stands ready to assist |
in the reclaiming of land which is |
now practically worthless. so as to |
make it source of wealth to its own
er and the state.
