ditch that needs water. The main
canal will extend to Burnt Fork only;
from there lateral ditch, much lower
than the present survey, will be built
to cover the company lands on Three
| Mile creek.
| The small size Of the canal is made
| necessary for the following reasons:-
First-Many land owners would NOT
sell their arid lands at a reasonable
price or buy water for their land, thus
diminishing the acreage very greatly.
Second-The whole lower end of the
| valley, Eight Mile creek and the north
bench of Three Mile has had to be ex-
cluded because of the great cost of ex-
tending the canal al the required
| height, and because of the compara-
tively small water supply. 1t has been
through no fault or lack of desire or
effort on the part of the company that
its original project of irrgatiug TO-
900 acres is not possible. In fact the
company deeply regrets that the larger
project had to be abandoned, recop niz-
ing that o5 900 acres Of good land must
probably remain in its present unpro-
ductive state for all time to come.
The possibility of some time cnlarg-
ing the compauy's canal has heen con-
>idered. But on account of the con-
>tructiou of a large amount of fumes
and pipelines, this question cannot
receive attention for at least twelve
'ears, when the flames have to be re-
built. The enormous cost of increas-
ing the water supply by reservoiring
the main river may make an enlarge
nent impossible even at that date.
Since the large ditch is ia. possible
now it would seem that il must always
be impossbl..
The company now controls sufficient
land to meet ne requirements of the
smaller cana But the complete con-
tour survey /. wv being made may re-

Enormous Wealth of Treasure State.

Butte, Dec. S.-Mo ltana pr oduced in
the calendar year of 1905 copper, sill
yer, gold and lead to the value of $40,
677 ,5S3. These values came from s.
600, 900 tons Of ore, and the aggregate
production was greater by 1O,0S6, ,736
than the value of the output of 1904,
which was approximately $4,000, 900
greater than for the year before.
Last years production of metals was
greater in tonnage than the year be
fore, and greater in value than in any
previous year in the history of the
state or territory.
These figures are taken from the
annual report of B. H. Tatem, assayer
in charge of the United States ASSAY
Office at Helena, sent to the director
of the mint at Washington and re-
leased for publication today.

Great as is the increase Of the out

will soon begin on the big ditch pro-
jected by the Bitter Root District Ir-
rigation Co.. made bv officials or the

great satisfaction by the people of
Hamil,on and vicinity.
Aside from the benefits to accrue
from the employ ment of hundreds of
men and teams on the ditch next sea-
son the construction of the ditch mean
much in permanent way for Ravalli
county. Between thirty and thirty
five thousand acres of what is now
useless arid land will be reclaimed and
reward the thousands who till it in
bounteous measure.
A big immigration of desira BILE set
tiers will be attracted and numerous
other enterprises will be set afloat.
The decision of the company to utilize
the vast water power that will be
available will also prove a significant
item, ntributing as it will to the
development of this great, fruitful
region.
