veying an enlargement and extern
sion Of the large ditched owned by

This ditch is being surveyed by
K. u. Mccoy under instructions
from Mr.. Parkinson, the Encamp-
ment merchant, who is promoting
the enterprise. 1t will cross the
two Spring creeks just above the
junction os those two streams and
will probably run parallel with the
old ditch, constructed years ago as
an extension of the Davis, Fol
som and Brewer ditch, which Just
skirst the town limits on the
south and west. 1t will dip into
and out again, in the lands of the
Saratoga Land Co. The canal
will cover all of the vacant Cover
nment land under it from the
Encampment river to Sage creek
as well as furnish water for all the
private land that is now without

GOLD HILL
MINING NEWS
Reports show that Conditions
and Sh0wings are Improv-
ing Every Day

r. u. Mccoy, Deputy U. S
Mineral Surveyor, G. w. Scott
and daughter Florence. returned
from the Magnolia Mine at Gold
Hill Thursday. They report q
nice trip and no snow in the camp
as yet. they left the mines al
7;45 in the morning and arrived
in Saratoga at 1890 in time for
MIR. Mccoy to make the train for
Encampment. Pretty good time
over mountain roads. They re-
port every thing AS looking fine.
All outside work is completed,
such rs timbers, tagging. wood,
Tunnel house etc. They have
their car and track installed and
are now busy driving the tunnel
with two shifts of men
MIR. Scott brought down a sack
of ore taken from the bottom of
the 81 foot shaft and in iulting
around in the wagon some small
peIcrs became broken off. These
peices were put in a morter and
pounded up and when pulverized
there was from s to 10 tablespoons
full We saw this PANIED out and
the amount of gold in the pan
beat anything We have ever seen.
One man, when shown the gold
would hardly believe the yellow
stuff" was gold. We look forward
a~nxiously to see what will be
shown up when the tunnel reach
is mine depth, but will not be
surprised if they strike a body of
ore that will run well up in the
hundreds or even thousands of
dollars to the ton.
We predict that the Magnolia
will eventually rank first in the
gold producing mines of the west.

What any Acre in the
Saratoga Valley can do

w. H.. Sowder was in town
Monday and brot to the Sun Of
fee a statement of what he had
been able to realize on an acre
and a half of ground during the
past three years. By it you can
Judge whether it pays to raise po-
tatoes in the Saratoga Valley. In
1907 he sold his crop of potatoes
from the ground, at 2 cent per
pound, bringing SITS. In 1905
he sold the potatoes from the same
groud for SIPS per hundred for
5000. This year the potatoes brot
but Is cents per hundred, still
they Melted him $3.50. He kept
potatoes for his own use and for
seed each year out of the crops
produced. All other products do
equally as we'll in the Saratoga
valley. If the above figures were
taken as even 25 per cent. of the
yield yearly, answer this: What
is the actual valuation of an acre
of irrigated land in the Saratoga
Valley?
