Reports Lots Of Snow Back in Hills,

C. b. Howard came in from the
mines of the Lake Creek Mining and
Tunnel company, which are located
at the extreme southern side of Cop
per Basin. The company has been
driving tunnel to tap the out-crop-
ping ledge of lead-silver ore at a
depth of about 100 feet. They ex-
pect to strike the ore in about twelve
more feet, but that means two
months work as the ground Is very
hard. Mr.. Howard reports about
four feet of hardly packed snow,
nearly ice, all over that country. He
kept record of the temperature
all winter and his register shows the
coolest day to be 38 degrees below
zero But taking 1t all in all the
winter was very good one. On an
average, five heavy snow storms oc-
cupied each month. This is we'll
back in the hills and as 1t will take
quite a while for the water to get
out, 1t is thought that the irrigation
season will be better than many have
anticipated.

SOUTH SIDE PUMP PLANT.

Water will be flowing in the canals
Of the south side pumping system
by the goth of June. This is the
announcement made by Project Engi-
neer Camp, who states that tenn
porary pumping plant is now being
installed for the purpose of hand
ling the first lift. This plant is To-
Gated about 1900 feet from the low
er end of the south side gravity
line. A Price pump will be put in,
with capacity of 5000 gallons per
minute, equivalent to continuous
flow of 1000 inches. 1t will be op-
Grated by a 125-horse-power gasoline
engine.
When the permanent pumping
plant is installed it will be one OF
the largest pumping systems in
America.
Engineer Camp has been notified
by the interior department that the
construction charges on lands under
the pumping system will be uniform
and the entire cost of the pumping
system to be pro-rated to all of the
acreage under the three lifts. There
has been some question as to whether
the lands under each lift would be
assessed according to the cost of the
particular lift. Just what the con-
struction charge will be has not been
determined. -Pocatello Tribune.

two whitewashes, and the High
