Juan district for some time has been
closed here with the payment of $4,000

chase of the Ariande property. The

mountain and is recognized as the lead
ing producer of the district. With the
closing of this deal it passes from the
original locator and owner, Alfred lies.
He has worked the property vigorously
and taken out exceptionally rich ore.
The mine is developed by shaft and
drifts to depth of 200 feet, and is for
the greater part in first-class shipping

workings returns 500 to the ton, while
from the upper levels, splendid lead
silver product is being extracted.
The purchasers of the mine are said
to be eastern capitalists. They are
represented by e. C. Condit. He has

steamer Lusitania is expected to cut

tween Queenstown and New York. She
holds record of twenty-six knots an
hour and the trip across the ocean at
this speed would consume five days

Railroads Defy Commission.

Chicago.-At general conference
beld in Chicago the Kansas railroads
decided to ignore the railroad COM
mission of that state and refuse to
obey its order requiring a two-cent

The Kansas roads were represented by
the general counsel and their execu-

Worked All Summer.

Active work has been carried on all
summer in construction of water car
rying canals on the Western slope. A
number of Denver men interested in
the development of Colorado were
present and, although no plans had
been made for a program, the even.
evolved itself into quite a spectacular
affair. W. E. Goldsborough, first vice
president and manager, e. A. Neres-
heimer treasurer; Frederick w. Tay,
lor, local manager; ]. A. Lewis, audi
tor; Milton Smith and others were
among those present.
This water is to be furnished only
to stockholders of the Farmers Reser,
voir G. Irrigation Company. The Den
yer company now owns the Church
ditch, formerly owned by the Golden.
Ralston & Church Ditch Company; the
Community ditch, Marshall lake and a
chain of eight other reservoirs, for
merly owned by the Community Canal
& Reservoir Company, with $4,000
acres of land, formerly owned by the
Denver Land Company. This land is
nearly all being cultivated and fur
nished with water from the Commu-
nifty system.
The entire country, from Denver to
Greeley, through the dry district,
which has heretofore been but slightly
irrigated and cultivated, will during the
next year or two be brought under 1r-
rigation and cultivation by this great
enterprise backed by Denver men.

STANDLEY
GETS A START
BIGGEST IRRIGATION PROPOSE
TloN IN WORLD NEAR
DENVER.
IMMENSE HOLLOW Dam
MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF WATER
TO BE STORED AND DIVERTED
INTO USE.

Denver.-The first sod was actually
turned on the great Standley Lake dam
which when built is to give Colorado
one of the biggest irrigation plants in
the world, and transform thousands OF
acres right at Denver's door from bar
renness into q land of the rose, of
wheat, corn, oats and other necessi-
ties. The Knowlton-Bollen Construc-
tion Company of Denver has the con
tract to strip the dam site of all plant
substance and to complete it in thirty
days for work on the dam proper.
The next important step after the
excavation work is the erection of a
core wall six feet in width through the
center of the site, from one end to the
other, nearly one and half miles. This
wall will rise four feet above the sur
face of the ground and go to bedrock.
The Standley Lake reservoir is being
built by the Denver Reservoir Irriga-
ton Company, backed by Milton Smith,
E. A. Neresheimer and other prominent
Coloradoans. 1t is to be a lake directly
above rich gold and coal deposits,
and will have the distinction of
being the only irrigation body to
force gold and coal mines (prospective)
out of business. The owners of the
land made hard, unsuccessful fight in
the courts against the irrigation COM
pany.

 Beautiful Colonial
 Residence.

Col Rutherford Trowbrldge has re- moved from his old home at 70 Grove street to the splendid colonial house, 46 Hillhouse avenue. His new residence was formally the old Lucy Boardman home. Col.

In re- modelling the building the colonial ap- pearance has been left. The mansion rests on lot with a frontage of 250, a depth of 300 feet.
 Although Hoggson Brothers of New York had the contract for the remodel ing, practically all the work has been done by local concerns, the former contractors subletting the work to New Haven companies.
 Charles Baldwin and Brother had the masonry, Luzerne I. Thomas the car- pentry and Thomas F. Meagher the plumbing contract.

THREE AUTOISTS KILLED CAR STRIKES MACHINE Driver Did Not See Trolley Approaching Around
 Curve.

Jackson, Mich, Aug. 2,~The vest bound car on the Detroit, Jackson and Chicago Electric railroad struck an au- tomobile containing five Jackson resi- dents at Sutton's Crossing about three miles east of here this evening. Mrs. Levi Palmer, Mrs. Emily Pulver and Bernice Oliver were killed, the two last named instantly R.

 Two parallel electric railroad tracks of the unused Roland line and the De- troit, Jackson and Chicago, cross the country road at the paint where the accident occurred. A house and some trees hid the approaching car. From the fact that the brakes on the touring car were not set, 1t Is believed Mir Olive. who was driving, did not see the car. Bernice Oliver one of the killed was MT. Oliver's daughter. Mrs. Put yer was Mrs. Divers mother, and Mrs, Palmer was their guest.

 Onne.

Toulon, Aug. 2.--The breech block of 100 nlilimetre gun was blown off to- day on board the gunnery school ship Couronne during target practice in Salins Roadstead and three persons were killed and five wounded.
