IRRIGATION WORK TO GO FORWARD
Arrangements for Pushing Work on Belle Fourche
Project Are Well Under Way.

There is no question whatever but
that the government will proceed with
the irrigation work near Belle
Fourche. The surveyors in charge of
the work say hat the inlet canal will
be about six miles long, forty feet wide
on the bottom, sixty feet wide at high
water line, and will carry water ten
feet deep with a capacity of 1885
cubic feet a second.
On Dry creek, about half a mile
above it's mouth. a dam will be built,
forming a large reservoir, covering
some 5000 acres when full, the max
imum depth Of the water being 80
feet, capacity $50, 900 acre feet, or
enough water to cover 5000 acres
two feet deep. The %diverting dam at
the head of the inlet canal will be of
masonry or concrete, the surplus flow
from the river to go owe rthe dam. The
crossing Of Crow creek will be of ma
sonry, taking the flow into the canal
when needed and thence into the res
ervoir.
From the reservoir two main dis
%tributing canals will be built. the one
to the north irrigating lands on the
Indian creek flatland and crossing
Owl, Indian and Horse creeks, with
masonry structures taking in their
flood water when they flow. This canal
will be about sixty miles long. The
second canal will run down the west
side Of Owl creek, crossing the river
with a dam across the mouth of Stink
ing Water creek, and watering the
land on the south side of the river in
the vicinity of Butte, Vale and Empire.
This canal will be about thirty miles
long.
A reservoir may also be built at the
basin known as Wilson lake, to cover
about 1900 acres when full, with a

BAD YEAR FOR WOLVES,
Bounty Claims This Year Are Far In
Excess Of Recent Years.

The last wolf bounty law which
passed in 1901 provided a limitation of
bounties to $4,000 per year, with a set
price for wolf scalps so long as the
claims did not pass the limitation Of
the total amount which could be paid
out in one year.
With such a law instead of the old
wide-open policy, the claims made
upon the state have been light. in no
year reaching the maximum. But this
year conditions will be different.
Claims are already on file in the office
OF the state auditor to take up the
whole Of the $4,000 limit, and under
the provisions OF that same law which
provides for the bounty, the total num-
Der OF claims must be pro-rated and
all paid equal amounts for the claims
presented. AS claims are yet coming
in at A rate of about $40 a day. and as
there has always been a rush of claims
the last month OF the fiscal year, the
indications at present are that the
scaling will be close to so per cent.
A number of claims have beer trans

chaser paid full value he will find he

get it afterwards, as the water rights
are attached to the lands of the own

After the system is ready to deliver
