A RESERVOIR SITE
OWNERSLOSE OUT
DID NOT START CONSTRUCTION
Two Greeley Men stand tn Lose
$4,000 on the deal

Because they delayed too long In
starting the construction of their
reservoir, Starr 4 Bartholomew will
probably be out the sum Of $4,000.
A few years ago they made filing
IN what has been known on paper
J the Beebe Draw reservoir. which
has since laid dormant without any
move to carry out the plans, so it
is alleged.
All reservoir sites have become
as valuable as gold. and are apt to
be Jumped" if the owners do not
use the required diligence. 1t is
said that the Standby lake people
needed the Beebe Draw site. and
for that purpose Horace G.. Clark
secured an option from Starr Il
Bartholomew for $4,000. While
this was going on, other parties of
the STANDBY lake proposition learn
go that the filings had remained dor
rant and decided to jump the claim.
A corps of engineers was sent to
the Draw and completed survey
on short notice and in twenty-four
hours the construction of the reser-
vor had begun. 1t will be called
the Milton reservoir, after Milton
Smith of Denver.
Owners of other reservoir sites
should profit by this mistake and
get to work if they intend to hold
their filings.
Only last week a reservoir site
was sold in Crow Creek that might
have been taken in the same man
ner if the purchasers SO desired. A
contest will probably be started and
il will be up to the original owners
to prove that they used ordinary dill
igence and dispatch in beginning
