SCHEME Projected

Exceed $75O,OOO. 1888
Acres to be Reclaimed

SIS an inch, or at an annual cost of
$50 for each 10 acres controlled
This plan of land control and de
velopment has proven successful in
Idaho, Wyoming and other sections
of the arid West. The promoters will
guarantee two acre feet OF water for
each acre under cultivation.
The soil is SO fertile during the
winter months, as snow never falls
and frosts are unknown, tha. all small
vegetables can be raised in quant1-
ties, as they already have been grown
on small scale, during the winter
seasons, for supplying the markets OF
Salt Lake City on the easl and Los
Angeles and other California markets
on the west.
1t is declared through tests already
made, that from five to seven crops
of alfalfa can be cut each year. In
the summer, cotton, figs, oranges and
lemons easily can be grown.
This remarkable dam will conserve
the waters impounded from a water
shed covering an area OF $50 square
miles, including Pahranagat and
Maynard lakes, and it's construction
has been held in abeyance for but one
reason-that of securing the protec-
ton of the State OF Nevada. The pro-
moters have waited to receive official
opinion from the State, through its
engineer, as to the feasibility OF the
as proposed.
