Dynamite Damages Mines.

BUTTE, Nov. 4.-Mr. Hcinze is al.
legged to have used dynamite last
night IN an attempt to hinder the work
OF the surveyors who, under an order
OF the United States court, have per.
mission to inspect the Michael DavitI
mine through the workings of othe,
mines. 1t is alleged that Heinze is
taking ore from the Michael Davit1
through a tunnel known as the secre,
crOsscut.
The Amalyamated people charge
that in order to defeat and nullify at
an order of inspection Of the under

FOR GOVERNMENT CANALS.
The United States Appropriates Large
Volume Of Water for Irrigation
Purposes.

One of the important prelimin aries
connected with government irrigation
projects in northern Montana, and one
which gives definite information as to
some of the work contempt lated, is the
filing of water right on behalf of the
United States in the county clerk and
recorders Office in this city. The no.
tice of appropriation is fled by Cyrus
c. Babb, engineer of the U. S. geo.
logical survey, who states in the no.
tice that the water right is for and on
behalf of the United States.
The notice of appropriation gives to
the federal government the right to
2,25O cubic feet per second Of the wa
| ters of Milk river, and the point of
diversion is described as being in sec
tion 26, township 81 north, range 26
east, or about three miles northwest of
Dodson in the extreme eastern part Of
Chouteau county. That the amount of
water thus appropriated is something
immense is indicated by the size of the
canals through which it is proposed
to divert it. The notice of appropri-
alton says that the main ditch is to be
80 feet wide and 10 feet deep, and will
tap Milk river on the south side at the
point stated. 1t will run in a SOUTH
easterly direction through the central
part of Valley county to a point about
five miles south Of Glasgow, or a dis.
tance at rough estimate, of nearly
one hundred miles. The plans of the
government engineers contemplate
branch from this main canal by which
part of the water will be diverted to
Lake BOwdOin and stored there, to be
subsequently used for irrigation by
easterly direction.
The notice of appropriation also
states that it is proposed to divert
part of the waters of Milk river by
canal on the north side of tn at stream,
to start in about the same locality as
the main canal on the south side.
This north side canal is to be about
20 feet wide and +! feet deep, and will
run in north-e asterly direction to
point about six miles northeast of
Malta, or distance Of about thirty
miles.
This appropri alton of water by the
United States authorities indicates
that the projects described have been
favorably reported upon by the geo.
logical survey, and will probably be
undertaken at an early date. In that
event, there will dOu btless be a rapid
settlement of the country between Dod-
son and Glasgow.

WOULD REOPEN MINES.
President Scallon Makes Statement as to
Legislation Desired By Analga.
mated Interests

BUTTE, Nov. ALL doubts as to
pany as to the question of resuming
operations of the various mines closed
down recently because of adverse de-
cisions in the district court Of this
county, have been set at rest. In a
communication to the Butte Miners
union, President VIM. Scallon of the
Anaconda company, states that in the
event the legislature is convened in
special session and proper legisl alton
is en- acted, the mines will reopen for
business. His letter to the Miners
| Union is to this effect:
II have the honor to put in writing
| the substance of the statements made
to your committee on behalf of the
companies, by their respective man
ayers aud myself, at our recent con.
ference.
Our statement to you and our un-
derstanding with you was that if an
extra session of the legislature were
called and proper legislation were
passed, securing fair trials, to-wit:
Impartial judges to try cases in the
district court, and the review of the
facts in equity cases in the supreme
court, we would thereupon resume op-
erations. You will remember it was
stated and explained that that was not
complete solution, but in view of
the hardships that prolonged sus-
pension would entail, the companies
would resume upon the enactment of
such legisl latlon."

TO THE RESCUE OF THE SQUIRRELS.
Pampered Pets of Central Park Children
Saved by Peanuts.

Owing to the peanuts and other eatabes thrown
them by their friends, the squirrels in Central
Park have become improvident, and unlike their
forebears neglect to pile up stores of food in
their nests for consumption in hard times.
For the last two days the squirrels have found
two feet of snow at the foot of the trees and
no food In sight.
When chance pedestrian ploughed his way
through the snow the paths. the little animals
climbed brskIy down from their nests and fairly
begged for food. Their destitute condition was
reported to Superintendent John Smith, OF the
Park menagerie. and yesterday he loaded Keepers
Shannon and Snyder with bushel basket of
peanuts and sent them to the rescue.
Along the east paths through the two feet
of snow on the walks. the keepers strode. scatter
ing the peanuts by handfuls at the foot of the
trees as they went, causing rapidly ScurryinS
forms to leap through the heavy drifts in pur-
suit of the nuts.
Superintendent Smith said that he would con-
tinue to feed the squirrels until the weather
allowed the children to come out again with their
nurses and take charge of their pets.
