Proposed Purchase Not Effected.

For some months past the High Line
Canal has been negotiating for additional
priority rights and had all the arrange
ments fully perfected up to the point Of
placing the bonds necessary to secure
the money needed The directors were
unable to find buyer for the bonds, and
have announced the failure of the con-
templated purchase. Many stockholders
made conditional subscriptions for a por-
ton Of the bonds, which subscriptionshave
been cancelled.
Since the option held by the company
expired the property has been purchased
by the Colorado Fuel g. Iron company,
and the transaction was so arranged as
to secure the return Of the advance pay
ment of $1,000 made on tho purchase
price Of the land and water, so that the
company is out only a small amount oi
money in the transaction.
The failure of the High Line to secure
this additional priority is much regretted
by the citizens of the Rocky Ford country
