THE CUsHMAN DITCH.
An Enterprise that Will BE of Incal-
culablc BENEFIT to Delta.

Considerable has been said lately of the
ditch now being taken out to water the mesa
south and west of town, which is being built
by Mr.. Cushman. 1t is an undertaking of far
greater magnitude than is supposed by many.
1t is intended to commence the ditch at a
point some distance above Montrose, and con-
tinue it down the highest ridges of the mesa
to point on the Gunnison below Delta, wat
ering all the country between the Uncompah-
gre and Roubideap, some fifty thousand acres
of as fertile and as fine lying land as the sun
ever shown on. The ditch when completed
will carry forty thousand inches of water,
and viii probably be enlarged to carry a
much greater volume. AT the present time
it is being taken out of Chapparel creek
about thirteen miles south of here, as it is
believed there will be sufficient water in that
stream to supply all that will be required
this season. 1t is the intention this fall and
winter TO build from the Uncompahgre river
to tap the Chapparel creek ditch, and to
put in large reservoirs at convenient points
to hold in reserve supply Of water in cases
of need. 1t is also proposed to crosscut Chap
parel creek to bedrock, and by building a
solid wall of masonry across it to utilize the
volume of water known to run beneath the
surface- There are now about five miles of
the ditch completed and ready for turning
water in. The workmen are on the top of
the mesa where the work of eycavating is
very easy, and they making splendid pro-
Gress. About three feet under the soil there
is layer of hard clay of some sort or hard
pan as called by many, which it is calculated
viii be of immense help in irrigating the
land, retaining the moisture and preventing
any waste of water by sinking. The work is
being done in the most workmanlike and
substantial manner, and will rank with
many of large ditch undertakings of the
State, including the Matt Arch ditch of Grand
Junction Mr.. Cushman is quiet, unobtru-
sive gentleman, thoroughly experienced in
his work, and knows when he has good
thing 1t will take him over two years to
complete the ditch, but when once finished
every acre of that immense mesa, twenty five
long and averaging six miles in width, will
be under water, and every acre of it WAL be
a garden of Eden in itself
