Reclamation OF Arid Lands BY Western

| Special Correspondence Of the Standard.
BILLINGS, April 10.-Much interest is
being taken in the proposed development
by the Shoshone Land q Irrigation Co. of
the Big Horn basin, Wyoming, and az
this country is at present tributary to
Billings it's settlement and reclamation
means an increased trade from that sec
ton. Already several Nebraska parties
have QUILTED here and have started BIZ
team for this promised land, where with
the proposed irrigation they win no longer
suffer from the droughts which have
driven them from Nebraska.
A surveying party of 10 men, who came
in on the Burlington railway, outfitted
here Saturday with a two months supply
of provisions and started overland for the
Big Horn basin. The party was in charge
of w. L. Lyman, secretary and manager
of the Shoshone Land d Irrigation Co.,
and had been sent out in the interest of
that company to complete the surveys
and profiles of large irrigation canal,
100 miles long, which is intended to
reclaim the vast area of land
which that company has taken
up under the Carey act. They have Sc

The contractors expect to commence
work early next month, as part of the
surveying has already been done, and
with favorable season they will conduct
water on $1,000 acres by Aug. 1. The
| water will be taken from the river, known
from its sulphur springs as the Sinking
Water, and a sufficient number of inches
thereof has been appropriated. The sur
veying party consisted of Il. Van Der
