The certificate Of incorporation OF

ident; d. II. Hall, Secretary, and +.

promoter, 500 shares; w. o. Mills, 90
shares; Cassidy & Skillman, 20

Jackson, 10 shares, and ID. III. Hall 10
shares. There are only 165 shares left
| for sale out Of 500 shares that were
, set aside to be sold for working
| capital. 1t is considered that $500
| will be all the capital required for a
| start, the company having determined
to keep their expenses as low as pos
sible. .
The object OF the company is to sell
well-boring machinery and to bore
artesian wells on contract, and there
is no reason why the enterprise should
not be successful. 1t is proposed to
bore the first well six inches in diam
eter, and the machinery and 500 feet
OF pipe have already been ordered for
the work, The first wells to be bored
will be on the ranches Of j.. q. Ford *
Co., in Antelope Valley, or upon that
of John Tore in the Newark range.
There is little doubt that agood flow Of
water may be obtained upon either OF
these ranches, where the first success,
if scored, will furnish the keynote oil
that herald which shall bring to East
ern Nevada an increase oil population
not only of miners, but OF husband
men-tillers Of the soil, who will rap
idly turn our desert valleys into valua-
BILE farms.
And where is there a better country
for either soil or climate upon the top
Of the cath? 1t has not yet been
found.
II is true that our valleys are dry,
and, until placed under cultivation,
will produce nothing but sagebrush
and here and there a patch OF bunch
grass. Yet nowhere, in either our
hills or valleys, has there yet been
found an acre of land which, if irri-
gated, would not produce more wheat,
finer and better favored fruit and
more wholesome vegetables than were
ever brought to us from California or
anywhere else. Name the country
where anything in vegetable form can
be raised that will beat our own pro-
ducts? Give us plenty Of water to
irrigate our lands and we will raise
wheat six pounds heavier to the
bushel than can be produced in any
other State in the Union except in
Colorado. In raising hops We can
beat the world, and what more profit
able thing can anybody want? We
can raise potatoes that for size and
quality are hard to beat in any coun-
try. We can raise larger and better
favored fruit than even California
boasts Of; the orchards OF Isaac IT.
win on Duckwater, Alex. McCulloch
and Mrs. Brown on Currant Creek
and others, affording ample evidence
OF the fact. They bring to this mar
ket the best favored apples in the
world, that in size are like Summer
squash or young pumpkins, and be-
sides these, pears, peaches. cherries,
grapes and other varieties Of fruit,
We can raise the choicest berries, cur
rants and gooseberries, and taking one
part of Nevada with the other, al
monds, oranges, lemons or anything
else that can be raised anywhere be-
tween the two poles. Even the to-
bacco plant grows to perfection in oui
foothills and can be proftably cult
waited.
We have herein said a great deal
but if any one from abroad doubts it
certainly no one at home will-we car
furnish the proof. All that We need
to make this section Of country n o.
the fairest on top Of Gods footstool IL
water. Our hills are always full o
good feed for horses and cattle aftel
the snow disappears, and our valleys
are the accumulation OF years o
mountain soil. Our climate is excel
lent for animals that are the most use
full to mankind. Then give us the
means to irrigate our valleys and We
can then raise the best fruit and vege
tables, the most nutricious cereals, the
richest grasses and the finest stock il
the world.
Again Behind the Bars.
