TUNNELING FOR
WATER SUPPLY
Company Formed to irrigate
Lands on North Bank
of Clearwater

The solution of the irrigation of the
lands located on the slopes of the
north bank of the Snake and Clear
solved by the North Lewiston Water
company, which filed articles of in
corporation with County Auditor Gift
ford today.
The company's plan is to develop
springs by tunneling into the hillside
to bedrock and by system of side
tunnels concentrate the entire water
flow into one stream. Work along this
line was commenced by the company
several weeks ago at point north of
the Central ferry, where a tract Of 800
acres of land was secured.
The tunnel site selected was at
point where spring was giving forth
little water and after some surface
cuts and penetrating a cement clay the
gravel formation was tapped which is
practically filled with running water.
The gravel formation has been pene-
trated and the bedrock exposed for a
considerable distance, showing large
seams through which the water is
gushing. The, entire volume of water
secured is not yet known, but from
present indications the promoters be-
lieve It will be possible to secure a
100000 gallon flow every "a hours.
The idea of tunneling the mountain
for the purpose Of developing the flow
of water was introduced in the Lewis
ton country by the lewiston waha
Land company. which has developed a
flow of 16.500,000 gallons in "a hours
by system of tunnels at the site OF
the springs near Waha. At the time
the work was commenced there the
water was seeping from the hillside in
numerous places, but not in a condi-
ton to be measured. After consider
able work had been performed and the
flow Of water collected it was found
that 3.626,800 gallons were flowing
from the spring every "a hours and by
a continuation of the tunnel work this
now now exceeds 16,5oo,o0O gallons in
"a hours.
Inc IiOTtn DdHk VI tIle oIdk0 anu
Clearwater rivers contains large areas
of productive soil which have remain
ed uncultivated on account of the alb
sence of water At numerous places
on the sides of the canyon are small
springs and 1t is believed a system of
tunels at these points win increase the
flow of water to such an extent that
the greater per cent Of the rich hill
side lands may be utilized in the grow
ing Of grapes and other fruits.
The North Lewiston Water company
is composed Of J. L. Chapman. W. A.
Mercy, r. r. Lowe, w. B. Stanton,
Charles Mix and Albert Davis. The
plans for the development Of the 800
acre tract have not yet been completed
but It Is probable than 200 acres lying
below the mouth of the present tunnel
will be plated and placed on the mar
ket in small tracts.
