A settlement has at last been ef
fected between Brazilla V. Clark and
the government whereby Mr. Ci&rk
relinquishes his rights on Tin Cup
cui k. Cray's lake and Blackfool
fiver, says the Idaho Falls ltegister.
Mr. Clark this week received a check
from the government umountlng to
several tbousund dollars und BO fur
as he Is concerned the uffulr Is clos
ed. This means that the government
will now proceed with the draining of
Cray's lake, which covers some -S,-000
acres. The water will be car
ried off in the spring of the year
through u cut made by Mr Clark
about two years ugo, ths bottom of
Which Is about two and u hulf feet
below the lake bed. These water
with the Big und Little Blackfool
rivers will ve stored In the Blackfoot
swamp, about 18,000 acres In extent.
When drulned, the bd of Gruy's
lake will make a valuable furmlng
section, its soil and climate being
particularly adapted to the growing
of fall grain. The surrounding moun
tains include some of Idaho's finest
grazing land and lies within the con
flues of the Caribou forest.
Gray's lake being from two and a
half to 15 feet deep, there is at pres
ent a great loss of water by evapo
ration and seepage and this amount
reservoircd In the Blackfoot swamp
would probably Irrlgute 20,000 acres;
the water of Blackfoot river should
Irrigate 35,000 acres, making- a total
of 55,000 acres which will be re
claimed by this project.

Though the experimental well be
ing dug on Tutuilla for the proposed
cemetery water system is now down to
a depth of 30 feet, water has not yet
been foun'd and the cemetery com
mittee la about to despair of finding
water at that point. At the council
meeting tonight the subject will be
taken up and It Is probable that the
council will decjde to try a new lo
cation. When the cemetery watering pro
ject was first started several council
men, among them Messrs. Montgom
ery and Knight, favored locating tTe
well on the bottom land near the end
of Webb street. They urged that by
so doing the city would have greater
prospects for abundant water and al
so the well would be so located that
the cemetery watering system could
be easily connected with the city water
supply In case such was ever found
advisable. Also the motive power
could ho easily changed from a gaso
line pump to electricity.
However, It was decided to try a
well above the Porter ranch anil If
:mplc water was not found there to
try the bottom. The well now being
due ' located about 150 yards above
the Porter place.
At first it was believed sufficient
water COUld he found at a depth of 20
feel and some water was struck. HOW
pver, It has since been lost and was
i vldeiitly surface water from the
storm that caused the recent high
water In the river.
ALASKAN VOLCANO SPOT i s.
Vivid Gleams Of (inter I'livs Seen OS
Miles Away.
The Seward Gateway says of the
eruption of an Alaskan volcano, as
sighted from sea by the captain of
the steamer Dora, on March 10:
On the night of the 10th Inst, as
Captain Z. Moore of the steamer
Dora, was inakiiigfkiis return trip
from (Jnalaska to Seward, he saw in
the distance what seemed to be fire
works on a very extensive scale.
Immediately taking his bearings the
captain found he was 63 miles off
Chonobora Island and the fires which
lighted the heavens above came from
the previously long extinct volcano,
St Augustine
As the molten mass within the
mountain wis thrown up by Internal
forces of the earth, the outer Crust
wus parted and. the red glow of the
melted mass cast Its lights far up
ward on the smoke and clouds above.
This was followed bv Intervals of
darkness caused by the subsidence of
the volcanic action.
Then again the heaven above
would glow with the reflection of the
light from earth's mighty furnace,
making a display Of nature's fire
works as lias ever been seen In this
part of the world.
