TO SURVEY BIO DITCH.
II Satisfactory Route Is Found Canal
Will Be Built to Three lille.

II W. H. Hammond, a Minneapoli
capitalist, and John Scott of Missoula
part owners in the Three Mile place
mines. were in Stevensville Thurs.
day afternoon, says the Register. In
conversation with a representative o1
the Register MIR. Hammond statet
that surveyors are now engaged in
surveying route for the great ditch
from Rock Creek to the Three Mile
country. 1t is expected that the ditch
Will carry about twenty thousand
! inches of water and will cost about
Sloo 900, although the cost of the en-
tcrprise at this time is purely prob
lenatcal. Very little will be known
as to the cost or length of the ditch
until the surveyors make their report.
The plans at present are to divert
water from Rock creek or some small
Ter creek on the eastern side of the
mountains which bound the Bitter
Root valley on the east to carry the
water across Ambrose pass O this
side of the mountains. People famil
iar with the country which will be
traversed by the ditch differ greatly
IN their estimates as to the length of
the ditch or the distance it will be
necessary to flume. Mr. Hammond
states that it will probably be neces-
saly to f1ume fifteen miles, but he can
say nothing definite at the present
time. The facts brought out by the
survey will determine whether the
ditch will be built. If it is decided to
build, sawmill will be established
near the head of the ditch and the lurn-
ber and timbers will be floated through
the flume to the scene of construction.
Mr.. Hammond and Mr.. Scott left
the mines Saturday to traverse the
proposed route of the ditch It is re-
ported that they made a similar at
tempt several day previous, but their
guide, an old resident Of the Three
Mile country, lost his way in the
mountains and did not reach the Am
brose pass.
The company will be able to dis
pose of all the water which can be
brought across the mountains. Mr..
Hammond says that many of the
Three Mile ranchers have made in f.
/ uiries concerning the ditch and wish /
% buy water in case of its construc-
ion. The water will be used for ir-
'igating purposes as well as for min
ng.
AT the present time mining opera
ions at the company's placers active
y continue. The night shift has
'een discontinued, owing to the scar
ity of water, but the day work will
ontinue until the dry season. A
itch is being constructed around the
am which was built last winter and
which failed to hold water. The res
rvoir will then be drained and the
am will then be repaired.

Mrs. Creenup Protects Her Garden.
=. F. Cooper was tried yesterday
on the charge of threatening to dis
turb the peace, Mrs. D. E. Greenup
being the complaining witness.
The Coopers and Greenups reside
on adjoining ranches on Saw Tooth
Creek and for some time past have
not been on good terms.
A line fence, built in partnership by
Cooper and Grecnup when they we're
friendly, separates the two lanches.
Recently Cooper concluded that a lane
would constitute a better line of de-
markation between them and pro-
ceeded to move the fence back, thus
throwing Greenup's place open to the
commons. Mr.. Greenup had been
away all summer and it devolved upon
Mrs. Greenup to look after the place.
The Coopers persisted in driving their
cows along this one-sided lane and
they tramped over Mrs. Greenup's
garden several times, whereupon she
issued an ultimatun. Last Thursday
evening Cooper himself went after the
cows, taking along his rifle. When
he arrived with his herd in the vicinity
OF the Greenup home, the lady of the
house appeared on the porch with
shot gun and informed Mr.. Cooper
that If his cows crossed her garden 'she
would have to shoot quickest" if he
lived to tell the tale. Cooper called
his boys and with their aid managed
to keep the cattle off the garden.
Af,er hearing the testimony JUS
lice Norris dismissed the criminal
charge, holding that there was not
sufficient evidence to bind Cooper over
% keep the peace.
Thereupon Attorney Baker, on be-
1alf of Mr.. Greenup, instituted
'ivil suit against Cooper for 500 for
respass. .-s.5
