LOWER FREIGHT RATES
 BOOST TO MINING
June 1 Will See More Claims
 In Operation,

A united effort on the part of the transportation companies and the smelters to stimulate mining activity during the present period of inac- tiyity in copper mining at least, has been begun. When the reduced rates go into effect about June 1st, many a mine which under the old re gime could not ship because freight and smelter charges more than con stunned the value of the ore. will then be able to ship at a profit and this, it is believed. will result in a con siderable increase in ore shipping during the coming summer.
 The first low rates to be made on a railroad are announced by the San ta Fe, Prescott and Phoenix road on ores shipped out of that section fer treatment. R. H HetheringtOn. Jue of the principal owners Of the Pres colt Sampling works. also announces that he is in a position to say that the smelters are willing at a IiIne like this to do what is fair in reduc- ing treatment charges. Charges on different ores are varied, and on ac- count of tae peculiar and costly methods of treatment, no reduction can be made on them, but on the .oth- CT ores not so refractory. smelter rates will be lessened.

IRRIGATION WILL BE TRIED
 IN THE VALLEY
Douglas Promoters Will Build Dam in HunSacker Canyon to Furnish Water in the Sulphur Springs Valley.

The first irrigation enterprise in the Sulphur Springs valley is soon to be under way, according to the statement !of men who have recently visited the city from that part of the valley for the purpose of having the necessary papers in the case drawn up prepara- tory to the actual work of commenc- ing the dam.
 This enterprise is one which several different crowds of Douglas promoters have attempted on larger scale and were unable to promote owing to the magnitude of the project, as they con- ceived it and tried to work 1t out. It is the damming up of the well known Hunsacker canon which lies on eae east side of the valley, about IS miles north. Here in the canon is a good
 sized stream running with consid- erable head all the year round. There is one point near the mouth of the canon where the walls come near to- gether which is said by all engineers to be an admirable site for a dam, and those engineers who have visited the place and sized up the proposition, say that by building a dam costing probably s150,000 a lake of water can be secured about a mile wide and g miles long and nearly as deep as the canon. This would furnish supply of water sufficient to irTigate nearly the whole valley and furnish an abundapee
 of electric power if desired.
 Messrs. Hunsaker and Stafl are the two men in whose possession are the rights of the capen, and ". A. Shep-
 ard is the man to whom the right to
 erect the~dam has been leased. MT.
 Shepard is said to represent number t0f ranchers who have taken up the 1 land lying directly in the path of tne water from the canon and the dam will 1 be built by their own private enter prise. They are undertaking the pro iject only on a small scale to secure enough water to irrigate what land they have taken up. The dam will be
 built about 10 feet high at first, but fl
 later the enterprise proves a success
 and more money is available, the size
 of the dam will be increased and the
 scope of irrigated country in the valley will increase. It is also understood that this carrying out af the project on a small scale will not stand in the way of the governments reclamation ser
 vice undertaking the project at the SO licitatiOn of the people of Douglas and the inhabitants of the valley at some future date.
