 An interesting project. one vital Jo the western rancher. is being promIl- gated and pushed near Tempe It is that of profitably pumping water for Irrigation. A force of men. headed by J. D. Cooper, have. during the past few months. been working hard on a tract of land near the north end of the bridge. Here there is d three-cornered piece of sandy garden soil between the Tempe road and the old grade of the railroad. Before the flood of some ten years ago the land extended for a dis tance to the west. but about thirty acres in the corner has been farmed in watermelons and wheat for the past few years. The water with which it was irrigate ted. has been taken by small ditch along the hills from the ponds of water known as the slougns along the river northeast of Tempe. but the supply was inadequate and now the men are working up feasible scheme which will undoubtedly make that land the most valuable in the valley. be- cause of it's water supply for irrigation A hole has been sunk on the side of the land nearest the river. the size of which, at the point where water was struck. is twenty-five by thirty. feet The distance at which the water was struck is seventeen and one-half feet. The hole or well. will be put down considera bly, deeper. so as to insure a better flow. From this immense well a large body of water can be thrown continually. it being so near the river and so large. good results are expected by the promoters of the enterprise.
