the PROPER SCHEME.

will be second only In this state 10
the great work now being done by
the government, mainly in Chur-
chill county. For some time past
a suit has been in the courts to de-
termine the rights of the numerous
ranchers in this valley and Smith
Valley to the water taken from the
West Walker River. The farmers
have been spending considerable
money with the legal profession of
the State and see their way clear
to spend much more, but they do
not see just how they are going to
get any more water, even should
the suit be decided in favor of both
plaintiffs and defendants in the
case.
The storage of water they know
is the true solution of this vexed
question, but just how to accom-
plish this has been the stalling
point. We have been given to
understand that T. B. Hickey, one
of the defendants in the Miller &
Lux suit, has been given an option
for a short time on the entire Mil
Ter & Lux holdings in this valley,
and that the proposition is for the
people in the two valleys to buy
the Miller & Lux property, also
take the Twin Lake reservoir site
from Mr. Hickey and make of it
reservoir, canal both vallies, and
thereby place every acre of some
thing over 100000 under perfect
water system. There is no doubt
that this is just what ought to be
done, but the question arises are
the people alive to this great
scheme 1t may seem large I'M
dertaking, and is, but larger ones
have been carried through to
successful termination. 1t is I'M
derstood that the Miller & Lux
property can be bought for about
100000, the Twin Lake reservoir
site for $4,000 more, and the esti
mates for the construction of ca
mails range from S. $4,000 to $3.50
900. There is in the Miller & Lux
tract of land something over 10000
acres, half of which, at least, is
very fine land, worth probably $40
an acre with the assurance of
plenty of water for it. Could this
one tract be colonized and cut up
into Ioo-acre farms it would itself
pay for the storage and canal sys-
tenn. Besides this some $4,000
acres of other land could be put
under water, and its present value
quadrupled There is no finer
land in the State, there is no finer
climate, and the mining country to
the south will afford an ample
market for years to come.
Should such a scheme be taken
up there is not a doubt in the
world but that any or all the banks
in the State would be willing to
furnish the capital with the land
and water as security.
Furthermore, the Southern Pa
cific Company has agreed to make
cheap rates for intending settlers
and home-seekers, and also adver-
tise the section in a thorough man
ner to let the outside world know
what inducements we offer to the
1t is also understood, that should
the scheme be entered upon by
the people of these two vallies,
that Miller & Lux will withdraw
their suit as against all defendants
who enter into the corporation,
but will continue the prosecution
against those who do not.
1t seems to us that this scheme
