1t seems almost heartless to sug-
gest that from the presence OF a
calamity as that which has almost
destroyed the proud and beautiful
city OF San Francisco, the slightest
CLEAN OF brightness or hope could
come. But in the spirit now being
manifested by the woefully stricken
people of thatwrecked city there is
that which arousss the highest pride
on the part of AN who can claim
them as fellow cosntrymen. The
list of the dead~through the earth
quake and fires is previously large,
but it is far below first expectations
and for that fact there is everywhere
thankfulness. And the appeal the
great disaster has made to the
sympathies and generousities OF the
American people, and the response
TO that appeal, are worth more thar
the money involved even thougl
years may be required to replac
the property destroyed. That tn
people OF ,our common country ar

Affections and disasters, is an In

reminded OF. In performing thi
great service some compensation

COAL LAND OFFER.
Syndicate Wants to Buv State Land in
Routt County.

Denver.-At n meeting of the State
Land Board Thursday one of the most
important applications for land made
in many years was filed with the
board. The application was made by
Attorney Tom Harrington on behalf
of Bernard l.. Castor, a St Louis man,
representing st. Louis and Chicago
capital
The land desired is a tract O; about
100000 acres of indemnity land in
Routt county, located between Hayden
and Steamboat Springs. 1t is believed
to contain coal, although the board has
no very accurate information on the
subject at the present time.
The people desiring the land offer to
pay $40 per acre outright for it. max
ing sl,O00,000; or they want fifty
year lease on it with the promise thai,
they could buy it later. Both Mr. Gas,
tor and Mr.. Harrington desired the
deal to be closed at once if possible.
but the board will take at least two
weeks to investigate the matter and
have the land inspected before any
definite action is taken. An appraiser
viii ne sent to Routt county TO make
an investigation and the matter will
probably come up for action at the
next regular meeting of the board
The Moffat railroad will pass within
twelve or fifteen miles of the lead in
question and an especially good coal
land the board has demanded S10O a
quarter section or les5ing. but the
proposition made was only 81 per
quarter section. The state has hoen
asking $40 an acre for land within ff.
teen miles of a railroad, and 500 per
acre II the land was nearer.

EVANS WATER SUPPLY.
Remarkable Reservoir Fed by Artesian
Wells,

Denver.-A Republican special says:
The placing of a big cement reservoir
thirty-eight feet deep and ten feet in
diameter for the purpose Of holding
the city water of Evans was accom-
plished in a novel way and completed
on the 9th inst.
Two years ago the town of Evans
put down several wells 125 fee. to sup.
ply the town with water Surafce wa
ter finally filled the wells and made
them unsanitary. Recently four other
wells 230 feet deep were sunk to bed
rock and flow of artesian water OBJ
tanned. Around the wells was built
the cement reservoir.
1t was constructed by outlining its
dimensions with meshed wire, which
forms the center for the circular wall
of cement one foot thick and thirty
eight feet high. When the cement cir
Gle was thoroughly dry workmen dug
away the earth inside it to depth of
thirty-eight feet, the structure sinking
by Its own weight gradually into place
Seepage water was encountered to-
ward the last. but this was pumped out
and the cement bottom laid Into this
big cement tank artesian water is let
at will and the result Is satisfactory
The supply is said to be sufficient for
town ten times the size of Evans.

LAND TAX DECISION.
May Tax Land Bought of State and
Partly Paid For.

Pueblo. Colo.-Thursday, In the Dis
trict Court, Judge Voorhees, handed
down decision in which he refused to
grant an injunction against the treas,
urer of Otero county restraining him
from collecting taxes on land pur-
chased from the state and only par
TALLY paid for.
This was the matter on which argu-
ment was made by attorneys represent
ing land owners in Otero county for
the greater part of two days.
Judge Voorhees, took the ground that
,he assessment was a proper one. He
Hid not take up the matter as to
whether the property in question had
been overta:ed by the assessor.
The amount involved in the two
cases is in the neighborhood of $685.
COO, and great interest has been taken
in the matter by property owners in
all other counties.
1t is understood that the treasurer
IN Otero county will proceed to collect
he taxes by due action in the courts,
hat the land owners will fight the
case, and if defeated. will appeal to the
higher court.
