MT. ". s. Edwards arrived yesler- day from Calabasas, where he has been doing some surveying for the Cal abasas Company. Mr Edwards thinks that Col. Sykes plan for retaining the land in that locality will succeed if carried out The proposition is 10 slnk to the bedrock in the Sonoita and Santa Cruz and then build cement dams. The valleys of these respective streams are such just above Calabasas as to admit of the construction of i'm mense reservoirs by the simple means of a strong dam From these reservoirs the water will be led in pipes, so that nnihing will be lost except by evaporation. Besides this artesian wells are tO he sunk. Mr. Edwards thinks if this plan is eXecut- ed it will result in large success.
