PRO-
JECT COMPLETED
Immense Tract Of Land now
Awaits Settlers

Senator Clay Tallman has announced
the completion OF the new irrigation
project in Coal Valley, 80 miles from
Las Vegas. A dam forming a reservoir
area of two square miles, and ID miles,
of ditch have been completed at a cost
Of $l25,00 Cottonwood, Pine and
Cherry Creek will furnish the necces-
sary water to bring $4,000 acres under
cultivation. This land will be subdi-
vided into 100 acre tracts and special
inducements will be offered to settlers
Indian labor was used in the work
ana has proven entirely satisfactory
according to the engineers.
q. q. Davis, fomerly Of Las Vegas,
who is one of the chief financiers of the
project is gratified at the speedy and
successful completion of the work and
has begun an active campaign to get the
tract settled up in short order.
While distant from the railroad, it is
said that the climate offers many advan-
tages over the Truckee- Carson project
as fewer frosts prevail and snow never
falls in this region.
Almost every product of California,
except citrus fruits, may be grown there
in proiusion.
Fruits, berries, vegetables, almonds
and olives, together with alfalfa and
cattle will be the chief products of the
re rion

Musical Organization

We have in prospect an engagement
of the celebrated Schubert symphony
Club and Lady Quartette Company of
Chicago, and it is expected that they
will be secured to give one of their de-
liehtiul entertainments about Jan. 80,
under the auspices of the Nj. H.
Church. This Company gives pro-
cram of the greatest variety, consisting
of Lady Quartettes, Mandolin ana
Guitar Club, String, Violin and Vocal
Solos, and Amusing Readings. In the
Scbuberts we will get a musical enter
tainment that is enjoyable from the
first TO the last-not a long, dull, classi-
cal affair, but a bright, interesting pro
gram of music's choicest gems. IL

4 HAPPY NEW YEAR

The hospitable home Of Mr.. and Mrs
Frank NJ. Grace was the scene of a most
enjoyable party on New Years eve,
when guests to the number OF thirty were
invited to Join in welcome to the New
Year. The occasion was made doubly
happy 10y the presence OF Mrs. Porter,
the mother of Mrs. Grace, and Mrs.
&. II Grace, the mother OF Mr.. Grace
who assisted in the entertainment.
Progressive five hundred was one of
the features of the evening. Mrs. II.
G.. Gray and Miss Florence Squires, OF
the ladies, and W. X. Bracken and
James Thomas, OF the gentlemen, carry
ing off the handsome prizes awarded.
At eleven O'Clock an elaborate lunch
con was served with a musical accom-
paniment. Following this, as the fate
ful moment which marked the end of
the old year approached, the guests
were all provided with horns, whistles
and other din producing instruments.
When old 1903 gave his last gasp
and little 1909 came tluttering in on hls
pin feather wings he was received with
burst OF noisy enthusiasm which quite
drowned out the commonplace din OF
engine whistles and gun shots OF the
outside world. Alter an hour OF un-
hampered jollity and the exchange OF
New Years greeting the guests departed,
each having, indeed, enjoyed a most
Happy New Year.

The MESQUITE
Of Great Value as a Source
of Honey

The Mesquite, variously known as the
honey pod or honey locust is shrub or
tree of the order of leguminOsa. 1t Is
a native Of the arid southwest Of the
United States and extends southwark
to the Argentine Republic and Chill.
1t is also found in the Hawaiian islands
where it was introduced by the nilsson
aries.
The pods which are very saccharine
are greedly eaten. They should be
ground and dried to obtain the best
results since the highly nltrogenous
seeds ars likely to resist the digestive
process. \ clear light yellow gum,
which oozes from the trunk and branch
es in tear-like drops is used in coniec-
tionery and IN laundries, and black gum
is produced, probably the same mixed
with some coloring matter.
The curly mesquite or screw bean Is Il
smaller tree or shrub, ranging from
Texas to California. 1t is characterized
by its twisted pods only a couple OF
inches long. Both species are impor-
ttnt sources OF honey the flowers being
plentiful in about ten weeks.
What great advantages Las Vegas Val
ley in some portions, with its great mes
onite groves, would havefor honey pro-
duction, Why is this never thought Of
or mentioned in this country where the
azure blue sky and radient sun would
bless the honey producers?

MINER is FROZEN
Now Under a Physicians Care

|. NJ. McQuaid miner, aged about
10, who resides at Smeiter, Nevada,
was found in this city New Years eve in
a serious condition as the result of hav-
ing frozen his feet. McQuaid was on a
trip through the mountains from
Modena to Phoebe two weeks ago last
Saturday night and was obliged to lie
out over a night on the trail in two feet
of snow with the thermonter marking
% degrees below zero.
He succeed in making his way to this
city where his condition was discovered
by deputy sheriff Sam Gay and night
policeman Ed. Ross, who took him in
charged and placed him under the care
DR.. Hewetson. His feet were found to
be in frghtful condition as result of
the freezing and he will lose some of the
toes OF one foot if he escapes without
anv nore seLtous results. Mr.. McQuaid
is married man and is said to have
been on his way to Goldfield when
taken in charge. He is said to have
valuable mining property at Smelter. If
he had not been taken in charge and
cared for promptly it is very probable
that death from blood poisoning would
have resulted very soon.
Few people living in this sunny val
lev realize the dangers and suffering
which come to the plospec,or in the in
tense cold OF the snowy mountains which
surround us.

New Diamond Fields

New diamond fields are being opened
up in German Southwest Africa. The
fields are said to be of wonderful ex-
tent and marvellous richness. The stones
are OF fine color and good quality and
command high price on the market.
1t is probable owing, to the low cost
of production, that the new fields may.
revolutionize the diamond business OF
the world.
