A Hundred Mile Canal.

A Fort Collins, Colo, special says that incorporation papers for the Lar inner County Development company have been filed by Frank Annis, A. A. Edwards and T. H. Davy. The object of the company is to make preliminary surveys and measurements, and obtain expert reports on proposition to di- vert the waters of the Laramie river at Glendevy and carry it by ditch to the north fork of the Poudro and into Lone Tree creek for the purpose of irrigating the northeastern part of the Larimer county. The capital stock of the company is 25,00OS.
 The proposed ditch is intended to irrigate large section of land in northeastern Larimer and northwest ern Weld counties, including practic- ally all the dry land from Carr to the foothills and from the Poudre river to the Wyoming line. The land is all said to be first class and when irrigat- ed, it is claimed, will become one of the best sections of Colorado and de- velop vast farming area tributary to Fort Collins. It is estimated that it will cost 1,5OO, O,OOOs to complete the project, which, it is claimed, will be worth fully 5,000,0OOS.
 The canal will be nearly 100 miles long, over district of natural water courses. John K. Fields of Denver, former state engineer, was here con- ferring with the directors on the plans. It is probable he will be retained to investigate and survey the line. He pressed favorable opinion.

Ban on Saloons m the Yukon.

Dawson dispatches to the Chronicle says: The important work of revising the Yukon ordinance regarding the sale and control of liquor in Yukon Territory has just been completed by the committee appointed for the pur- pose by the last legislature of the Yu- kon. The report will be submitted for adoption at the annual session to be held this summer. The most i'm portant feature in the new act is one providing for the elimination of sa- looms. A clause is inserted which is designed to do away with every saloon in the Territory as speedily as possi- ble. Licenses to deal in liquor in a retail way thereafter will be issued only to hotels. 1t is deemed best by the authorities that there should be no places given over wholly to the li- quor traffic. Ordinances in this form will probably be adopted, and there- after the Yukon will be considered prohibition territory.

Conditions at Butte.

The return to normal mining at the Amalgamated properties is slower than had been expected by the public, writes Butte correspondent, though Superintendent Gillie said when or ders for resumption were given that the normal output of ore from the mines would not be reached before the lst of April.
 It is yet too early to determine whether the orders for better results from the mines and the observance of greater economies in operations have borne fruit, but it is believed that when the returns are made from the various departments they show a material reduction in the cost of Amalgamated's copper. It had been generally believed the average cost of the Amalgamated production was, dur iogrecent years, in excess of Il cents per pound, but it is stated on good author ity that the cost was not more than 10 l-2 cents per pound, including refining and selling. It is the expectation that this will be materially reduced under the present system.
 It was in answer to the general claim that the Butte mines could not produce copper as cheaply as other districts that the Amalgamated con- pany's management ordered resump- tion of mining at the full capacity of it's mines and smelters. That ought to be the best answer we can make to that kind of talk," said an Amalgamated officer.
 The cost of production during recent years increased very rapidly in spite of the fact that the value of the metal in the ore mined increased also. The rising costs were due, however, to causes that effected other districts as much as they did Butte. The great incre SC in the price of lumber and other supplies, the increase of wages, shorter hours and inefficiency of labor were alike in all mining districts.
 The resumption of mining is raising serious labor problem in Butte, as thousands of idle men from all parts of the west, including hundreds of Ne vada miners who were locked out by the trouble in Goldfeld, have been focking.to Butte, and there are thou sands more applications for work than . there are places. It is charged that other cities and communities in the west have been urging their men to 20 to Butte, and several thousand who were employed in railroad work have left their employment and gone there in the hope of getting the better wages paid in the mines.

Occur D'Alene Tunnels.

Speaking of some of the most i'm portant tunnel projects in the Occur d'Alene district of Idaho, "Mines and Metals" says:
 "Long tunneling" is method of opening up ore bodies at great depth that is being generally adopted by Occur d'Alene mine operators. It is a method by which mines are easily drained of water and which also affords the most economical extraction of ore. The Occur d'Alene district is becom- ing famous for it's deep seated ore de- posits and equally celebrated for it's long tunnel projects. For instance, the Bunker Hill & Sullivan company ran l2,0O0-foot crosscut tunnel which tapped the great Marsh ore shoot at depth of 17O0 feet vertical and added at least ten million dollars to the pre- viously known value of what is now generally admitted to be the greatest lead-silver mine in the world. Later the Morning mine's mammoth ore body-20O0 feet long-was tapped by 10,O00-foot crosscut tunnel. About six months ago a 40O0-foot crosscut tunnel penetrated the Hunter mine's main ore deposit at depth of approxi- mately 2OOO feet. Six weeks ago the famous bonanza ore shoot in the Her. cules mine at Burke was pierced by a 4500-foot crosscut tunnel, exposing at depth of nearly 2000 feet over seventy feet of ore. The Snowstorm company is now driving 4O00-foot tunnel to tap huge copper deposit 1900 feet be- low the vein outcrop. Ten years ago the Standard mine ore shoot was op- ened to depth of thousand feet by means of a 3000-foot crosscut tunnel. The Mammoth mine ore shoot was ex plored to still greater depth by cross cut tunnel driven 3700 feet. The ex. tenslve development of the Monarch lead-silver mine east. of Murray in. cludes a 370O-foot tunnel which tapped the main vein at vertical depth of 1880 feet.

Exploding Gas Tank Wrecks Court
 House.

The Graham county court house at Solomonville was almost wrecked, Friday evening, by the explosion of a gas tank which was being used for a moving picture. The operator, Francisco Gonzales, sustained broken leg, and A. l.. Malone, editor of the Bulletin, had his leg severely injured by flying rivet from the exploding tank. IT e performance had not yet begun, and there was only about fif- teen persons in the court room when the explosion occurred. All of these were considerably shaken up by the concussion, but none injured. Every window in the building was smashed, some of the window castings broken and most of the ceiling came down.
 There is no electricity in Solomon vile, and for stereopticons, acetyline gas is used. Gonzales had two of these tanks, and it was the smaller one that exploded.
 Mir. Malone, who arrived from Sol omonville last evening, states that the court room after the explosion, looked as though a cyclone had struck it. A roll top desk in the room was smashed to bits and not part of the building escaped damage. The shock of the ex- plosion was felt all over the little town, and caused considerable excite ment. Prisoners in the county jail, in the basement of the building, were thrown into panic, and it was some time before order was restored.-Sil- yer Belt.
