~ situated. 1t lies Immediately be-
tween Ladd Mountain on the east and
Bonanza Mountain on the west. On
these mountains are situated the prin-
cipal mines Of the district Were your
town situated farther up the gulch be-
tween these mountains it would be i'm
possible to bring any water to 1t by
gravity. 1t is at the junction OF the
present wagon roads from Tonopah,
Goldfeld and Las Vegas.
1t is the highest point on the noun
tain side that can possibly be reached
by the railroad that is to be immedi-
ately constructed to the district by Mr..
Smith, familiarly known as "Borax
Smith Mr.. Ryan, representing Mr..
Smith, has just selected several acres
below the town for railroad depot and
yards. 1t is the only point where ample
and connexions corral grounds for the
numerous teams now hauling ore and
material can be obtained.
Your springs and water supply con-
sist of several large geyser springs.
flowing out of solid granite on the top
of a fiat mountain at an altitude of
Ell feet above the highest point of the
Amargosa River. Only two of these
springs have SO far been developed. as
the supply of water furnished by them
is moro than sufficient for present use.
These two springs are now flowing
100000 gallons of water daily. The
other springs will easily supply an
equal amount of water. These springs
are $50 feet higher than the townsfte,
and after deducting the friction, our
engineer estimates that the water will
have 1S6 feet of gravity pressure at the
TOWNSHIP The ditch for the pipe line
is completed, and most of the pipe is
now on the ground ready for connec-
ton. The remaining pipe will be de-
livered on or before the 18th day of
June. The water will be flowing
through the pipes by the first day of
July next.
The value of your water can readily
be appreciated when you are informed
that 1t is the only water in the district
that win flow into the camp by gravity
The Anlargosa River is situated on the
other side of a range of mountains from
the mines, and even If the water could
be pumped over this range of noun
tains it is unfit for domestic use by
reason of its alkaline properties. The
present price of water in Tonopah and
Goldfield, Nevada, in each of which
places they have water. systems, is l
cent per gallon, while the present cost
of water in the Bullfrog mining dis
trict is from 81 to 81 so per barrel. A
