Watch STORAGE.
Pertinent Observations by the

1 kceEU1ne0t OOScTv0tkoWS Oy tHt
Lyon County Times.
The people of this State seem to
DO thoroughly aroused now ia re-
gard to the question of water stor-
age. Our Senators, especially SEN
ator Stewart, has never let point
pass that could be used to any adj
vantage in getting appropriations
for irrigating purposes. In CONVEX
saticn with Mr.. J. D. Ludwig, who
was here yesterday, and who has
been looking after the water inter-
estS in Carson Valley, We gained
some information of what could
have BEEN done on the Carson
river in the line of storing water.
Mr.. Ludwig informs US that on the
East Fork OF the Carson river, at a
point above Moore's ranch, there is
a splendid site for reservoir near
the head of the canyon. A dam
sixty feet high could be put IN at
this point that would back the water
up five miles. In this five miles
there are large fats that would be
filed up, and on an average the
reservoir would be three-quarters
OF mile wide. He estimates that
this reservoir alone would hold
back enough water, If properly
handled, to irrigate every acre Of
waste land from the reservoir to the
Carson Sink. This land that would
be covered by the water is of no
consequence to anyone, nor could it
in any way be made of any value.
The sides Of the canyon are alnsst
perpendicular, and for eight or ten
miles below this reservoir site are
places where smaller reservoirs
could be built, thus making q string
Of reservoirs for that distance. It
is estimated that $3.50, 900
would build . dam at this place one
hundred feet high, and secure even
moro water. This place is . very
favorable one for the construction
Of dam, as material Of all kinds
10 close at hand. All that it would |
be accessory to supply from q dis
lance would BE- cement.
This is q matter that should be
brought to the notice of the U. S.
who are now campsd be-
yond Como somewhere, presuma-
bly, hunting for the highest peaks
hey can End.
If the Government would make
IN appropriation for such work as
his there would be something in 1t,
or the increase in the value of the
and that is now of no use would
more than pay for the outlay of
This matter Is also of vast

,ress, by the Legislature and by
