Nephl Utah. Dec. S.-While the vest
ern portion Of Juab county IS noted
for It's vast mining interests, compris-
ing as II does the famous Tintic dis
trlct, the eastern or agricultural part
has also much 20 boast OF In the way
Of natural resources. The production Of
ucern seed has Of late years become
one OF the chief crops to the farmer
Of this end Of the county, and Is read
lily marketed at good prices.
As a hay and grain producing section
this portion Of the county can hardly
be surpassed, and the only drawback to
It's full development as such Is the linz
tied supply Of water compared with the
great area Of rich farming land. This
hitherto uusurmountable obstacle bids
fair TO be overcome in the near future
by the gigantic enterprise recently set
on foot of bringing the waters OF the
Mammoth reservoir into Nephi. The
company Of that name has been reor-
ganized and placed on a firm business
basis with a capitalization OF S2JOO00
divided into $1,000 OF the PAR value Of
So The object OF the company is TO
construct a reservoir IN the northeast
ern end Of Sanpcte county In what Is
known as Goospbcrry Valley, and bring
the water around to the western por-
ton OF Sanpete county thus reclaim
ing thousands Of acres OF rich agriCul-
tural land and then divert a part OF the
water into Salt Creek canyon and
thence 10 Nephi. The 10000 shares Of
the capital stock which has been Of
fered Nephi. IS being rapidly taken up
thus assuring the success of the enter
prise active work on which has already
been commenced and il Is claimed by
competent authority that inside OF two
years the water supply Of Nephi will be
doubled.
