Water Storage.

The water storage system, which has
proved 30 successful OH the Nevada
Land & CATTLE Company's ranch at
Squaw Valley, is being adopted in
Northwestern Humboldt.
At Derby's ranch, near Bartlett
Creek. large reservoir is being con-
structed, which will hold sufficient water
to irrigate several hundred acres of
meadow land. A force of men has
been employed during tho Fall in build
ing dam, so that water can be stored
in the Spring, when there is plenty of
it, for use later in tho season, when it is
scarce.
At Deans ranch at Granite Greek,
on the old Honey Lake road, in this
county, q dam is being built of cut
stone, for q reservoir capable of con-
tanning sufficient water to irrigate q
thousand or more acres ofalfalfa.
As the success Of the method is estab-
lished beyond doubt, it may be assumed
that within twenty years every avail
nble locality in the State for storing
water will be occupied for that pur-
pose Silver State.
