Mr.. LOTUS was one of the originai
leasers on the Sandstorm under the firm
OF Lotus & Davis, which proved one
of the best leases on the property. The
merits of the Sandstorm as a valuable
property appealed to him SO strongly
that he quietly began to purchase all
the stock on the market until he had
acquired. with Colorado friends, a con-
trolling interest and, being a practical
mining man and operator, he has placed
the minc on splendid basis for per-
manent development work. The per-

however owned by the company is situ-
ated on what is known as Ladd Mountain
hill about 500 feet high and about 5000
feet from one base over the summit to
the other. The big ledge of this company
cuts through the center of the mountain
from the north to the south and may be
traced distinctly all along the surface.
It's average width is eighty feet and the
average assays throughout the whole
width and throughout the entire length
of 1000 feet give values from 800 to over
$1,000 per ton. 1t is a conservative esti-
mate to state that the entire ledge will
assay $40 a ton in gold. Taking the length
of the ledge on the surface, its width
and the height of the mountain that it
cuts, you can conservatively estimate
that there are 1,S75,00o tons Of ore in
sight, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that the ore continues down to a
great depth below the base Of the

STRIKE ON THE KENDALL EXTENSION.

In the last week a strike was made in
the property Of the Kendall Extension.
The report is that this strike averages
from SO to $500 ton. The Kendall Ex-
tension owns the Butcher the Mayfiower
No. 1 and the Myrtle claims. The con-
unuation OF the old Sandstorm strike
runs right through the Kendall Exten-
sion claims, which it adjoins. In the
same locality are the properties Of the
6andstorm Extension Mining Company,
the Tiger Lily. the Wedge and Thomas
Thumb claims. These are south Of and
adjoining the Sandstorm and the Kruger.
The Kendall Extension strike should en-
hEnce the value Of these claims as well.

built at Lake Tahoe and this lake will
become a storage reservoir capable of
holding 100000 acre feet of water that
can be used to supplement the summer
flow of the Truckee. In the Upper
Truckee basin six other reservoirs are
contemplated with an estimated total
capacity of 10000 acre feet
The Lower Carson reservoir will have
a capacity of 2S0 900 acre feet. There will
be three other reservoirs in the Carson
basin with an aggregate capacity of
250, 900 acre feet The reservoirs contem-
plated In the basins Of the Truckee and
Carson will therefore, conserve in the
neighborhood of 100000 acre feet of water.
This should supply water for an addi-
tional irrigated area of from 200 600 to 400,-
900 acres OF land.

ment, the price paid for these lands by

Tho mining and milling Of this ore
should not exceed the cost Of $12 per
ton even at the present time. considering
the ample water supply that will be de-
livered to the mine and at the company's
mill by the Bullfrog Townsite, Water and
Ice Company. This would leave a net
profit to the company of s. per ton on
all of it's ores milled. The total profit
on the ore in sight would be the enor-
nous sum of $4,000 900.
The fact that this company has already
arranged for the milling of its ores in
dicates that 1t fully realizes the immense
value of its property. There is no doubt
that the expense Of mining and milling Of
this ore will be greatly reduced upon the
construction of Borax Smiths road from
Las Vegas, which will have its northern
terminus Immediately south and within
1000 feet of this company's property.

the settler will be divided into ten equal
annual payments. Water will be sup
piled to settlers on a large part of these
lands in April, 1906, and the first payment
of 81 60 per acre must be made to the
Government In December, 1906.
No settler will be allowed to take more
than 16o acres of land and any person
now owning land controlled by these
reservoirs and their distributing bitches
has right to purchase from the Gov
eminent water rights for this land on
the same terms that are given to new
settlers, but not more than enough water
to irrigate 160 acres of land will be al
lotted to any one man. This provision
OF the law has been made to guard
against speculation and to keep the land
for actual bona fide home makers.
1t is to be remembered that the water
Is brought to every farmers land. He
himself need only construct his own dis
trlbuttng bitches upon his own land AT
the expiration Of ten years a patent to
the land and perpetual water right is
given to the settler and he becomes the
actual owner Of the land.
A BOON TO THE STATE.
When one considers that 100000 acres
is probably a liberal estimate of the
total amount of land now under 'culti-
walton in Nevada and that this project

works mean to the State of Nevada
With the effort on the part of the ma
tional Government to increase the irri-
gable area and on the part~of the State
to protect and perpetuate the water
right of every settler, new and old, a
new day has dawned for Nevada. She
holds out open arms to homeseekers from
more crowded regions and offers to each
the protection of good laws, the finest
climate beneath the sun and an opportun-
ity to obtain home upon land well
drained, well watered and fertile.
