IRRIGATION AND COLONIZATION.
Definitely Settled that Corporation is to
Store Water and COlOnize Large
Mason Valley Tracts.

AS soon as formed the corporation
will proceed to plalce every availa-
bic acre of the Miller & Lux proper
ty under complete system of ditch
ing and drainage, and it is estimated
that from ten to twelve thousand
acres can soon be placed in shape tor
sale in one hundred acre tracts.
This will be the starter of a move
to furnish a complete canal and
drainage system tor this valley and
Smith Valley, and the ultimate re-
demption of every acre of land now
uncultivated in these two great fur
tile vallies.
People in these sections should
hail with delight the advent of such
an enterprise, as it means a popula-
ton of five thousand people in this
valley alone in few years, and also
a considerable increase in the popu-
lation of Smith Valley, both of
which places will become the garden
spots of the State.

the road into Tonopah.

that plant would be erected on the
flat ACROSS from town, near the
pump station, of this nature and the
ore trammed dawn from the mine
to the plant, and this is likely the
system that will be adopted. The
mine is looking well. The starting
up of this property will mean much
for the town and valley. Little more
can be said about the deal until some
of the parties interested arrive and
their plans are made known.

Gro wing Importance of the Mining
 Industry-New Developments

The Bradshaw Mountain Copper Mining company will rebuild thu Val Verde shelter, larger and better than before. The bCilding will be steel to prevent its destruction by fire. The Courier strongly advocates that Pres cott offer inducements to have the shelter located there instead of on the Agua Fria.
 The mill at Poland will begin oper- ations next week, having been de- layed in commencing operations wait ing for sizers for their plant. This property was brought into prominence by the recent completion of the Po- land tunnel, one and one-half miles in length, which was cut to enable the railroad to reach the Lynch Creek district traffic.
 Remarkably good progress has be- n made in the development of the Mid dleton properties in Yavapai county. A crosscut tunnel has been driven in to the side of the mountain to cut the ledge at depth of about 1900 feet. At a distance of HOO feet in, drift was run and an ore body encountered into which they have already run a distance of 60 feet without striking the opposite wall. This same ledge was encountered in tunnel 300 feet higher up on the mountain, which ledge at that point proved to be 60 feet in width.

 D. J. Sullivan returned yesterday rom Congress, where he has been su- perintending test of several tons of ore from the Alaska at the Congress Gold company's mill. The test proved very satisfactory, giving result of S3S91 to the ton and also proving that the methods employed on the Con- gress ores can be applied very success fully to the Alaska ores. Mir. Sullivan has come to an agreement with the Congress company to treat these ores and will be in d position in few days to deliver 20 tons daily of this class of ore. This will mean daily product of S70O or about s20, GOO monthly.

 The Wolverine tunnel, where work has recently been concentrated, is now in about 2000 feet. It is drawing very near the iron dike cutting the pro, perty. Near approach to this dike has brought some very favorable indica. tions, but nothing upon which to base enthusiasm of consequence. The tun- nel is running to tap the Uacle Sam vein, which is probably some 5000 feet beyond the iron dike It was under stood to be the desire to reach this vein before the next payment falls due on the property in March next. This payment amounts to $l54 ,000 That the tunnel will reach it's des ti- nation by the tune the money falls due is at this time anything but prob. able. It is understood that an en deavor is to be made to secure an ex. tension of time on the payment until the tunnel eau be given thorough test. .Risbee Review
