Peach Crop Suffers Most.

Grand Notwithstanding has
been general throughout the Grand
valley and for six miles the valley
looked like one big bonfire. From
midnight until after sunrise every
ranchman was out with his smudge-
pots. The temperature in some places
dropped to 20 degrees outside the or.
chards, but the lowest temperature In
the smudgepot area was rs degrees.
In most places the smudgepots kept
the temperature above ~ and 2s. It
Is impossible to get an accurate esti.
mate of the amount Of damage done.
but fruit experts declare apples and
pears are not injured to any extent.
Peaches suffered most. and rs per
cent of a full crop is all that will be
harvested.

DOM G S
Three Apprepriation Bills.
. q . N G S


There are now before the. State
Legislature of Colorado three appro-
priation bills which have 8 very direct
and important relation to the irriga-
ton development Of this state. These
bills were introduced by Senator Car
penter and have not yet been report
ed out by the finance committee.
The first bill 10 entitled AN act
concerning . division of topographic
surveys, providing for the manage
ment and duties of the same, and for
cooperation by such division with the
United States geological survey. and
making an appropriation therefor"
The appropriation named in the bill
Is $4,000 annually. The nature of
United States geological survey map
is probably known to every one who
has been interested either in mining,
irrigation or engineering work. These
maps show the topographic features OF
the land. such A. mountains, hills. val
ley and gulches; all bodies of water,
such as lakes, marshes, streams and
springs; the routes of travel. such as
railroads, wagon roads and trails,
cities, towns and permanent build
ings. and the names of natural and
other features, as well as permanent
monuments which are available as
starting points for local surveys, town
ships. section lines. boundaries and
land grants. They serve great varie-
ty of purposes, but are especially val.
liable in connection with preliminary
locations of railroads, canals and high
ways, and are very useful to prospec-
tive investors and settlers in making
a study of the country in which they
propose to locate. They are also very
valuable to travellers, prospectors, etc.,
as guide maps. They are very useful
in the study of water powers and the
development of the mining interests
Of the state.

Ancient River Discovered.

Greeley.-That the bed Of an an.
cient river, into which abundant
streams are still pouring, winds under
meath the plains in the vicinity OF
Pierce is the opinion Of those who
have been sinking wells in that re-
gion and was further substantiated
when James Gault discovered the pet
rified bones Of a mammoth in the ex-
cavation for a we'll on his farm east
of Pierce.
Dan Kinney of Eaton, in "witching"
for water on the Gault place, located
the well when others had failed. The
depth is twenty-seven feet and big
stream was encountered, sending out
a flow sufficient, Gault says, to irri
gate his farm of 160 acres.
There was no evidence of water for
twenty feet, when suddenly the strata
became moist and what first ap.
peared to be a big rock was uncov-
cred, Close inspection showed it to
be the remains of a mammoth. The
opinion Of those who have explored
the country is that they are the pet
rified bones of one of the big ele-
phants which roamed this territory
millions of years ago and browsed on
vegetation along the river. The same
kind Of fossils are found along the
Platte river.
