An Important Enterprise.

Mr.. Simpson, of Hall & Simpson,
Smith Valley, was in town, Wednesday.
He informs our reporter that he has
purchased the interest of Maj. Gardner
in the Gardner & Simpson ditch and that
he will have it complete for use this
summer. This ditch takes water from
West Walker river near Wellington and
will reclaim several thousand acres OF
valuable land lying along the western
side of Smith Valley, extending as far
north as Hines Hot Springs. This en-
terprise was projected number of years
ago, but proved too great an undertak-
ing for its owners to carry through at
that time. The ditch, or canal, is 10
feet wide and 4 feet deep, and Is capa.
BILE OF carrying nearly the entire river
in It's low stages.
Mr. Simpson says it is not his inten-
ton to monopolize the land contiguous
to the ditch, but to sell water to those
who wish to cultivate the land.-Genod
Courier.

Cops List or Patented Mines.

Henry n. CopP. the land and mining
lawyer OF Washington, has issued a
book of $50 pages, which gives lists
Of about TO- 900 mines patented by the
United States up to January, 1886.
These lists are arranged by States and
Territories, and there under by counties
and districts. 1t also gives instructions
for the restoration Of lost and obliterated
corners of the public surveys.
This publication is an added evidence
of Mr.. Cops industry, and will, with
out doubt, be in every mine owners Ii.
brary. In it we observe the names Of
many of our wealthy and enterprising
citizens. Parties contemplating the
purchase of a mine can now readily de.
termine if it has been patented. The
purchase Of unpatented mines is risky
business. as law suits are frequently
purchased at the same time. The book
sells for fifty cents, and can be had
through the newsdealers and of the
publishers.
