RENO. April s.-''Will the reclamation
service in Nevada be crippled as a result
of the mining revival now on in almost
every section of Nevada?''
This is question that is now puzzling
Engineer Taylor and those who are work
ing with him on the great irrigation pro-
ject in Nevada Within the past few
months some of the best men in the SER
vice have resigned and In nearly every In
stance they have gone into the hills to
prospect and attempt to secure fortune
from the rock-ribbed hills of the Sage
Brush State
A salary of from $1,000 TO $500 a year
does not appeal to an experienced min
ing engineer in Nevada these days. In
most walks of life salaries of this size
would be alluring, but in Nevada the op-
portunity to wrest a fortune from the
ground Is SO great that those who are
qualified are taking advantage of IT.
