No land deal that has been made in
the valley in several years has been
more widely commented upon or has
proven of more Importance than the

The Ten Mile Tract. consisting of
500 acres, is one of the best known
sections of land in Mesa county. For

that the Ramey-Udlock In
vestment company, who purchased
the property for themselves and other
parties, that they had had the pur-
chase under contemplation for
months. The deal was entirely clos
ed up Monday and yesterday.
The land is beautifully situated and
is adjoining some of the most produc-
tive cultivated land in the valley. The
soil is superb. Owing to the fact
that that country has a drainage from
both the Gunnison and Grand rivers
is Is absolutely and forever free from
seepage.
1t is reported that the Redlands Ir-
rigation and Power company putting

that will put the Ten Mile Tract under

not it is certain that the great body
of land will be brought under irriga-
tion, and when this is done it will
provide scores of fine ranch homes
and fruit orchards and Mesa county 5
