larger irrigation protests have been
hrlached. one IN particular near
Iarlin. which will water IA .trlO acres
oi mesa land by reservoiring waters
Of the Cochetepa. However, there
are at least halt million acres Of
eXcellent mesa land lying within a
lew miles of Gannison. which the
Expenditure Of FIVE 10 ten dollars an
acre IN irrigation plants woald put
under cultivation, most Of IT from
living streams. The opportunities
ir reservoirs are numberless and
there never can be shortage Of water
iar the Gunnison has the largest
runolf oI any stream in Colorado ex-
cept the Grand.
The summer resorts Of the Gun
nlsoa river are worthy OF note, for
the famous ten pound rainbow trout
OF this section tempt anglers from
all over the nation. Above twenty
resorts have been established close
to the river bank and they take care
of thousands Of visitors during the
summer months. Ii any section OF
Uslorado can be called the 'Switzer-
land Of America" il is GunBison
county with its 500 miles of imcom-
parable trout streams The state
hsh hatchery here keeps the river
well stocked, and Wild game oi all
kinds abounds In the hills.
The year has witnessed steady
rise in property values in the town
OF Gunnison caused not only by the
prosperity of the ranches and mines,
but by the coming Of the new West
ern Slope State Normal School. The
last Legislature made appropriation
OF S@, 600 10 start building Tor
this school, aud Governor Shafroth
has recently appointed Aessrs Sam
Z. Spencer, Jos. II Collins and J
A. Steele as trustees of this school.
Money is available to begin con-
struction early in the spring A
beautiful campus Of 43 acres was
provided for by the legislature of
1901 and has been kept up and i'm
proved with trees and drivewavs by
the citizens of Gunnison. The com
ing of this school will bring highly
| desirable class Of new citizens, for
there is no state college within POO
miles nor ON this side of the conti-
mental divide.
Mining development Of Gunnison
county has been going on steadily
thrOag huul the year and results are
substantial il not sensational The
early excitement which grouped
around BONANZA surface discoveries
have gone but by deep drainage
tunnels the mineral belt is being
drained at half a dozen different
points, and with most encouraging
prospects. The ore bodies are proven
to go down to 500, 900 and even
1900 feet. as rich and strong as ON
the surface. ID is striking fact
that with all the mining booms of

era Of modorn mining development,
started few years ago. a mining
shaft in one Of these producing
properties that went below 800 feet
Perhaps the most striking devel-
opment Of the wear has been on the
Gold Links at Ohio City This
property under management Of A.
L. Reynolds, one Of Colorado's mas
ter miners, is rapidly taking a
place as one Of tie best propositions
he has ever developed. The main
tunnel Is IN $500 feet, and over
ninety feet Of mineral has been cross
cut. half of it pay staff. Neglecting
other development for the present,
the force Of eighty men is employed
on the vein cut at 2lJ0 feet Drift
