Jumbo Reservoir Will BE Built


Jumbo Reservoir Will BE Built
The article printed below ap-
Deared in the Denver Post of
November 10. 1t will be news,
and, if true, good news, to people
of Sedgwick county. While the
people of this county have long
been cognizant of the practica-
bllity of the Jumbo reservoir, the
question at issue has always been
one of capital with which to build
Il. If, as stated in the following
article, McPhee & Mullen have
decided to furnish the capital, all
well and good. The people of
Sedgwick county will do all in
their power to further the enter
prise. The article follows:
Sterling, Colo, Nov. IS. The
great Jumbo storage reservoir
site on the South Platte river will
be utilized next year, with Nc
Phee e. Mullen as the chief con-
structors and owners. The big
basin is to b.. filled by extending
the present canal irrigating the
McPhee & Mullen South Platte
ranch.
The reservoir site was favora-
bly, surveyed months ago by W.
S. Jenkins of Sterling, Colorado,
and five weeks ago Surveyor and
Civil Engineer Baker of Greeley
was requested to inspect the lines
of the former survey and make a
second and final report on general
reservoir feasibility and construc-
tion cost.
MIR. Bakers report was practi-
cally contirmatory of the Jenkins
survey and there is no doubt
that the reservoir will be con-
structed.
The Jumbo reservoir will cover
1900 acres; it will have maxi
mum depth OF thirty five feet; an
average depth of fifteen feet; a
storage capacity Of 1900, 200, 900
gallons; will cover at least 10000
acres Of now vacant government
table lands--soil which only needs
water for varied and profuse pro-
duction; will largely reinforce the
Petersen and other present Sedg.
wick county canals; and will cost
in round fig lres, $3.50, 900.
The present McPhee & Mullen
South Platte river ranch compris-
es $4,000 acres, 5000 of which
are now in a high state of ersas
and grain cultivation.
The Jumbo reservoir will be
the fifth of mammoth new South
Platte water storage basins, viz:
The Jackson's Lake, now practi-
cally completed; the Sanborn
Draw, the feeding canals of which
are now nearly finished; and the
two Bijou Reservoirs, reinforcing
the Bijou canal and coveridg ad-
ditional land under that canal.
The Jackson Lake and the San
born Draw are enterprises of the
South Platte Irrigation company,
while the Bijou reservoirs are
portions of the system of the Bi-
jou irrigation company.
Illustrating the value OF rescr-
voirs to general irrigation Mr..
Baker estimates that the rein
forcing canal reservoirs of Weld
county this season can be credit
ed with at least one half the val.
ues of the $6,OOO,00O vegetable
crop of that county-potatoes,
sugar beets, onions, cabbage, etc.
as the last, or reinforcing res
ervoir irrigation, brought the
vegetable yield to the fullest pos
sible perfection.
