FLORIDA MESA IRRIGATION DIS
TRicT.

At 10 O'Clock this morning. Attor-
ney A. Rex Mollette, representing the
petitioners for the organization OF the
Florida Mesa Irrigation district, ap.
peared before the board OF county
commissioners. and withdrew the pc
tition. asking for an order that all
proceedings had in the matter be held
for naught. wn.... request was granted
Mr.. Mollette stated to the board
that there was some doubt that a suf-
ficient number OF the freeholders had
signed the petition; tnat some patents
had issued to the land In the proposed
district in the past few weeks. and
some OF the petitioners had ieconsid-
cred and withdrawn. and that there
was so much opposition ON the part
of the residents of the county already
having water rights. 1t was thought
best to abandon the formation of the
| district until the people of the county
| could become more familiar with the
law and the benefits to be gained by
SucH dIl OrBhnlZdLlOn.
/ Mr.. Mollette also stated to the board
that the people who were willing to
invest their money in the bonds OF
the district would probably look else
where for a market.
The Herald has not taken sides In
the controversy. but its columns are

OUR MINING PROSPECTS.
Mancos Times.TrIbune.

Mancos I1mes-Tribune.
A few days ago Sacket Brothers of
Telluride, who have been working, un-
der lease, the old Contention mine
near Telluride, encountered an eight.
inch vein of ore, in the midst of a
larger vein of low-grade ore, which
average $4,000 per ton. Though this
an old mine once practically abandon
ed, 1t now promises to become one of
the largest and best mines of the
Telluride district. Though the hills
about Telluride are honeycombed with
mines and shafts and tunnels pierce
their depths for thousands of feet
such strikes are frequent and the camp
is the best In the state. The point is
that the Telluride mining district and
the La Plata mining district which in
ciudes the Mancos territory. are In the
same mineral belt. and experienced
miners say that the character of the
ore In the two districts Is very SINH
lar and found under similar conditions.
1t is our belief that the La Plata dis.
trict holds within the depth of It's
hills millions OF dollars of undiscov-
cred mineral wealth. The surface
there is barely scratched, compara-
lively speaking. and much that is rich
and valuable has been taken from
them. What may We expect when
eli rt.,.x
cry side? We await with the most
sanguine expectation the results of
real and extensive mining as It is Just
now being started In this district.
