GLIDING all of the Trust company
water rights in that district. The
Trust company has during the past
year secured a number of filings In
several different localities OF water
rights, that II claims will be of great
value when fully developed. Officers
of the company say II has been esti-
mated by competent authority. after
careful investigation, that there can
be obtained flow of from eight to
ten cubic feet per second of time, and
this estimate does not include the
flow from the large Springs at Gar
wood, which have already been de-
veloped TO a considerable extent.
Asked regarding the future OF the
company one OF the officers said:
ut Is the intention of the company
to develop these Springs AT Garwood
by tunnel. in the same manner as the
Springs at Waha. In Neg Perez eoun-
~, are developed and where the flow
was increased from something near
two million gallons In twenty four
hours TO over. seven million gallons
flow In the same period OF time. and
the water thus obtained from these
underground springs proved to be
absolutely pure. and because the
source is underground, II can never
be contaminated In any way. and Il
is because of the purity OF the water
thus obtained that such great value
has ever been placed on these under
ground sources of supply.
The new company will have am
pie capital at it's command TO carry
out all plans of development as pro-
posed, and will at once enter upon Il
systematic and energetic development
of their property, under the manage
ment OF a competent engineer, who
will have entire charge of the con
struction department OF the company
