 Some person said could not slulce the mud out of dtches and In reply l asked that be given charge of the Birch ditch, from which ditch l receive my water for rrIgatlng and MT.

There were three directors present and short time before that Edgar told me that he did not know anything about operating dltches and so therefore l will give him some of my experience and tell him how experienced people do 1t and if he must be director, l would be glad If he would learn at this late hour.
 worked in the placer mines for l2 years and about 6 pears of that time was spent in sluiclng large bodies of dirt away with water. We would sluice it as low as convenient and that we did not move with water we moved with shovels and wheelbarrows. also ran hydraulic plant for about two years and we could go below grade with that by boiling 1t up and 1t would be carried away with the water.
 The ditches In Salt River Valley are narrow and deep and the silt Is carried through with the water, while the sand settles In the ditches and is taken out with slush scrapers and they don't spoil the ditch banks in doing so, although they have more sand there than we have here.
 MT. BoWker. the superintendent of the C. M. Land & Cattle company, told me could say for him that they have 5000 acres of land in cultivation in Mexico and they make the water clean the ditches. Gleason says over his own signature that wind blew dirt in our dltches and the water sluiced 1t out. Now if Gleason and Edgar will trust few men with trial 1t may prove as successful as inventing ma chimes.
 Probably but few men would want to try 1t, but those that did would be likely to make a success of 1t. It is said lhe Colorado river has about one foot fall to the mile and 1t carries the silt through to the gulf. The mouth of the Mississippi river is miles wide and Is nothing but a mud flat and very shallow Capt. Eads built two jetties of willows so as to draw the water through between them and 1t sluiced the mud out between the jettles and made deep channel for vessels. Over four years ago the Birch ditch was filled with dirt and asked Beach to give me charge of It. He would not do so. but took charge of 1t anyway and kept the water In the middle of the ditch until the grass grew upon the banks. At that time could not use brush In the ditch as the banks were

RICHMOND, Nov. 20, 1906. The
Richmond Industrial club held its
regular monthly meeting Monday
night. A large number OF enthusiastic
Richmod boosters we're present and
matters of vital importance to our
growing city were discussed. The
club will commence its winters work
by more fully arousing the people Of
our town 10 the great possibilities for
our future growth by giving a grand
banquet and program on the It'll OF
December. This will be one of the
SWEETEST and most elaborate affairs
ever given in Richmond. The club now
numbers thirty.three enthusiastic,
active members and this number will
be greatly increased within the next
few weeks The possibility OF good
