MUST MAINTAIN CAUTION.
Present City Supply Of Water of Ex-
ccIient Quality But Better Is Promised.

Tic following statement WAS issued
last evening by the trustees; of the Au-
Gusta Water District, and it is self
explanatory:
LAS many inquiries are coming to
the trustees of the Augusta Water
District in regard to the quality Of
the water at present being furnished
the city, it is proper that the public
should understand the exact situation,
hence, this statement
The pumps conneced with the Ken
nebcc river at the Edwards mills were
discontinued ara shut down for good
on January IS, and since that time
nothing but pure lake water has been
pumped into the system. Inasmuch as
the amount pumped i'll each day has
been equivalent to the amount used
ii will be seen that there cannot be at
present in the reservoir or in the pipe
system practically any of the old river
water.
AS soon as the weather permits.
which will probably not be later than
April first. ii is proposed to drain the
reservoir completely and have it thor
oU2hly washed and cleanScd. At the
same time the hydrants in all parts of
the city will be opened and the water
drained from the entire system, and
then refilled with Carleton pond water.
After that there can be no doubt but
the city will be supplied with water
uneXccllcd by any i'll the State.
While the water at present being
pumped into the system is of splendid
quality. until the complete flushing
and cleansing of the entire system, the
trustees Of the Water District would
suggest that takers maintain the same
prccauti"n as heretofore with refer
cncc to drinking the water"

The Stove Contest Coupons.

The custom appears to have become
universal with newspapers. of publish
ing a coupon. in each issue of the
paper during the time a prize contest
continues. Therefore, the Journal, in
the interest of the candidates in its
great stove contest. and their many
friends. feels it advisable to follow the
rule so generally established. Here
after. commencing with this issue, it
will publish a coupon at the top of the
second page. each day until the contest
closes. Each coupon will count one
vote for the candidate whose name it
bears when cut from the paper and re-
turned to the Journal office, in accord
ance with the rules governing the stove
contest, which are found in the large
advertisement.

coLoRApo's OIL PRODUCTION.

Colorado's oil output during the year
1905 amounted to $4,000. 900 gallons Of
crude oil. or 100000 gallons of re-
fined oil.
The production Of the Florence oil
fields amounts to between $1,000 and
100000 gallons OF crude oil per day, or
between 10000 and 10000 gallons OF
the refined product. Many new wells
are being sunk in this district, and
the indications are that the output will
be greatly increased. as the supply
seems practically inexhaustible-
Boulder county is the second oil
county in the state, and produced about
one-third as much oil as the Florence
fields. There Is small independent
refinery at Boulder which handles
about one-fourth of the crude output.
The remainder is sent to the Florence
refinery, which plant is controlled by
the oil trust.
Routt county, in the northwestern
part OF the state, has many good oil
prospects, but the fact that the crude
oil would have to be carted in wagons
for a great distance makes 1t unpront-
able to work these fields. The Moffat
road, now being built from Denver to
Salt Lake City, will open this section
of the state, and the prospects will be
converted into producing wells as soon
as the railroad is completed far enough
to handle the crude article.

COUNTIES.
Stock Feeding in coIoraoo.

The stock feeding industry in Colo
RADIO has made wonderful advancement
during the past few years, but in no
previous year has the advancement
been so marked as in the year just
ended. The phenomenal advance in
sheep values and the consequent great
profits made by feeders has given an
impetus to the feeding business that
promises to last. Last year 1t is esti-
mated that close to a million sheep
and lambs were turned out of Colorado
feed lots. 1t is believed that during
the present season the number will
exceed 100000. The profits last sea
son to the feeders was close to $4,000
900. During the coming season it is
hoped that the profits will be as large,
but the increased price paid for the
sheep and lambs on the range, makes
this problematical. Thus far, condi-
tions in the feed lots have been ideal.
Prices on the market are higher than
ever and give every promise of contin-
uing. II they do, the profits will be
fully as large as last year.
The greatest advance In sheep feed
ing has been in the San Luis valley.
A year ago the number of sheep on
feed in that section was estimated at
10000. This year 1t is more than dou-
BILE that number. The effort now being
made to provide a market in Denver
for all the sheep fattened in the state
will still further boom this branch Of
the feeding business, as one Of the
greatest drawbacks to the business
has been the long distance to market
which causes heavy shrinkage and
a deterioration in the value Of the ami
NAL for Slaughtering.

Great ounnison Tunnel.

Colorado in the past year, has seen
the beginning of what will be the
greatest irrigation project in the state,
in the Uncompahgre valley. The most
important feature of this work will be
the Gunnison tunnel, the longest and
most wonderful of its kind in the coun-
try and probably in the world.
In all, $780, 900 has been allotted for
the Uncompahgre work, of which more
than 100000 will be expended in the
tunnel. The latter is now driven one
and one-fourth miles through the heart
of the Rocky mountains, the bore
piercing gravel, shale, adobe and gran
ite.
It will be 10000 feet long and nat
ural difficulties apparently insurmount.
able will have to be overcome before
1t is complete, which is expected to be
in the fall of 1908. When this magnifi-
cent engineering feat is accomplished,
and it is now progressing in a way
that indicates it will be finished in ac-
cordance with the most sanguine ex-
pectations, it will reclaim for Colo

A careful estimate of the gold out.

upwards of 100000.
The tungsten deposits in this county,
which have been exposed, are i'm.
portant. A careful investigation
places the tungsten output at 100000,
SO that the gold and tungsten yield Of
this county for 1905 will total about
81, 100000. While the mining Of pre-
cious metals is confined principally to
gold and tungsten, some silver Is be.
