A combination of attorneys at Fairbanks have a new scheme for depriving the prospectors, who de- pend upon hard work instead of capital to make a discovery, of their ground. They organize a company of eight persons and locate l6O acre claim, including 20 acre tract upon which a prospector is sinking by hand. They install machinery upon another part of the ground, sink faster than he can, and making discovery. file their location before he has been able to reach bed rock. thus securing 16O acres and beating the prospector out of his twenty. The law that allows a company to hold 16O acres by a discovery upon any por- tion of it is an iniquitous one, and will greatly retard the development of the placer camps.

 And still We are told that the Philippines are not sufficiently an- vanced in ci' ilization to be capable of self government.

coLoRApo's AGRICULTURAL Ex-
HiBtT.

Much good may be expected TO re-
suit from the exhibit of Colorado's ag-
ricultural products which will be
placed In the Chamber of Commerce
hall and which was one OF the attract
i've features Of the agricultural display
at the exposition in st. Louis last
year Tne exhibit in question won a
prize in St. Louis, and 1t received
great attention and mucn approval
from visitors.
This exhibit shows what can be
done by the farmers of Colorado on
irrigated land. and the products dis
pmyed are so excellent that no one
can question that the yield per acre
must be large. 1t is no wonder that
l. was awarded IL prize.
While mining will probably always
be Colorado's chief industry, we
snould keep in mind the value of our
agriculture and particularly OF that
Intensive kind which Yields heavily
In proportion to the area TILED, and by
means of which relatively large
population per square mile may be
maintained.
Among the thousands of visitors
who will come TO Colorado this year
many will be Interested in this eA
hibit, and no doubt a larger number
OF those who did not see ii in 81
Louis will be surprised to learn what
II teaches in regard to irrigated aBri-
culture under the highly favorable
conditions of soil and climate which
prevail in all our agricultural valleys
There is room for many more farm
ers In this state than we now have,
and the most effective way TO draw
here is to convince them that agrlcul-
ture under irrigation is exceptionally
profitable. In some localities they
may have to pay more for land than
they would in some of the states
where irrigation is not resorted to,
but this will prove no objection TO
those VINO are able to pay the price,
provided they are convinced that the
market value of land is not out of pro
portion TO the returns that can be Sc
cured-Denver Republican.
