wAILUKU, Maui, May 1.-THE
News says: The News is indebted TO
Mr.. Carl Waldeyer, an experienced
California gravel miner for some in
teresting notes relative to the POSSIBLE
ity OF developing water for the use of
cattle ranches by tunneling into the
sides of Haleakala.
At the request of DR.. Raymond Mr..
Waldeyer recently spent several days
at Kahikinui ranch, examining the
system of tunnels already inaugural
ed. Some water has been developed,
but 1t is too soon yet to tell whether
the water is seepage from the recent
heavy rains, or whether 1t is a perma-
nent flow.
Mr.. Waldeyer, however, states from
his observation that he feels convinced
that there are layers of impervious
strata near enough the surface to be
reached by an intelligent construction
of lateral tunnels. The water carried
by these strata never comes to the
surface, but finds it's way to the sea
underground. Just how a long dry
spell would affect these subterranean
streams is a problem which must be
solved by the test of actual expert
ment but Mr.. Waldeyer is inclined to
the belief, from his recent observations,
that permanent water can be obtained
in limited quantities. which would
however. be amply sufficient for stock
purposes.
DR.. Raymond deserves credit for
his experiments in this direction and
If they prove successful, which Mr..
Waldeyer does not seem to doubt, it
will be only a question of time till the

with water bearing tunnels. These
tunnels will have to be so located as
to tap the surface OF impervious strata,
which carry permanent water, and a
system of cross tunnels run so as to
catch all the water of the strata. This
may be only a small amount in each
tunnel, but 1t would require only a
permanent flow of a few miners
inches of water to amply supply a
stock ranch.
Most of the ranches. notably Ka-
hilsinui, extended from top of Halea-
kala to the sea, and while the best
pasturage is high up on the mountain
side, stock have to travel down to
near sea level for water. A successful
solution OF the tunnel proposition will
mean thousands of dollars to the stock
raisers. and much is hoped from the
experiments being made by DR.. Ray
mond.
Other stock raisers, notably Colonel
Cornwell, have employed Mr.. Waldeyer
to expert their ranches. with q view
OF developing water, and great inter-
est is felt in the result
