stipation.

A force of fifteen men has been
employed this week in repairing
the Spragg dam which went out
with the high water some weeks
ago. There is still quite body of
water in the river and the work of
repairing has, consequently, been
quite arduous. Those who obtained
water from the ditch which this
dam supplies had to have water for
their ranches, however, and the
dam had to be fixed. At the low
water stage, when work of this
nature can be carried OH easier, a
new dam will probably be con
structed.

THE RAILROAD CUTOFF.
More Rumors to the Effect that It Will be
Constructed at an Early Date.

The report in the Tonopah papers
a couple of weeks ago to the effect
that a cutoff WAS to be built from
the G. & G. railroad to connect with
the main line of the Southern Pa
cifc at Hazen, seems to be authen-
tic according to private information
received from Carson this week.
1t is certain that the move is more
seriously contemplated than ever
before. The great saving of time
and distance that would be made in
the transportation OF Tonopah ore
to the Salt Lake smelters will be the
main object in building the cutoff
but there are other reasons why the
line would shortly become paying
one after construction. Our infor
nation is to the effect that if the
cutoff is built it will include a spur
to connect the town of Fallon, the
county seat of Churchill, with the
new town of Hazen, in the same
county, on the line of the Southern
Pacific. The settling of that section
of agricultural country is going te
make business for such a road.
Furthermore, there is now under
Roadway a plan to organize a com
pany for the purpose of irrigating
draining and colonizing tract O.
many thousands OF acres of land il

much more business for such road

ing will be 2Sx6o feet in dimension

the contract for the stone and

work of construction as soon as the

would undoubtedly mean cheaper
transportation facilities tor this sec
ton, and this would be an incentive
to the development of the great cop
per deposits in this valley, and the
resumption of work on these prop
critics, while such condition would
create another source of revenue
for the road.
Whether the Southern Pacific Co.
would make the cutoff broad or
narrow gauge is not stated, but
very likely the former, as in this
case the Tonopah ore would only
have to be hauled to the junction of
the G. & G. before sampling. An ore
sampling plant would then be con
structed at the junction and the
sampling take place at the same
time the transfer was being made.
Another reason why the road should
be a broad gauge is that several
thousand head of cattle are brought
into this valley every Winter to
feed and shipped out in the Spring
as beef. With broad gauge road
tapping the valley all this traffic,
and undoubtedly much more, would
come to the road. The people of
Fallon would receive greater bene-
fit, also, from broad gauge. Should
it turn out to be fact that the COM
pany is to build the cutoff, it might
be well for the people of this valley
to intercede for the broad gauge in
such a manner as would encourage
the company to this way of think
ing.

LAND READY FOR SETTLEMENT.
Thirty Thousand Acres Under Government

now nearly finished. The course of
the different latterals are shown,
while the allotments are also made.
The subdivisions, it is understood,
are made according to the condi-
tions of the land, the richness of
the soil and the work that will be
required to place it under cultiva-
ton. 1t is divided into 40, so, 40
and 100 acre plots.
Every acre of land is located in
Churchill county. Twenty thous-
and acres belonging to the govern
ment, while 10000 acres are con-
trolled by private parties.
Already considerable land has
been filed upon in that section of
the State, the settlers claiming 100
acres under the old homestead law.
Under the irrigation act they will
be compelled to take their chances
with the balance and should the
ground upon which they have filed
be divided into less than 100 acres
they will be compelled to forfeit
the remainder.
Now that the official maps have
been approved and returned it will
not be long before the long expect
ed rush begins and its beginning
will mark the start of new era in
the history of the Battle Born

Engineer L. H. Taylor, of the
United States Reclamation Service
in charge of the Nevada project,
has received the official maps of
thirty thousand acres of land which
will be ready for irrigation by
April 1, 1905. The land will prob
ably be thrown open to homeseekers
the first of next week, and at the
most not later than two weeks from
that date.
The instructions showing in what
manner the land may be taken up
have been mailed from Washington.
1t is understood and are expected
here at almost any day. When
these arrive Mr.. Taylor will place
them on file in the Land Office in
Carson and the immense area will
then be ready for settlement.
The maps were completed some
months ago and Were sent to Wash
ington where they were thoroughly
examined and their return yester'
day shows that Mr.. Taylor's work
has been approved. The maps show

paralysis while at his place of business

his assistance. Physicians who were sum-
moned found that his left side had been
paralyzed and that his condition was Sc
rious. He was conveyed to his home, 1870
9th street northwest, in private convey
ance. 1t was said this morning that there
had been no change for the better in his
condition. which is regarded as very crit
teal.
Mr.. Parker has been In business In this

Baltimore in 1853. He conducted his bust
ness first in the vicinity of the old post
office, later moving into the post Office
