NICHOLAS ENTHUSIASTIC OVER THE
ARTESIAN WATER DEVELOPMENT IN
CLARK COUNTY--LAND ADVANCE!

State Engineer F. R. Nicholas re-
turned this morning from a tour OF
the state, having visited every coun-
ty but two and inspected the pro-
posed Carey act projects, from appli-
cations recently made to the state
land register from capitalists from
outside of the state, says the Reno
Gazette. One of the largest projects
he visited was that in Esmeralda
county a~ggregating $4,000 acres. He
visited another project situated in
southern Clark county, another in
central Clark county and the Wells
project in Elko county.
Under the Carey act there will be
approximately 100000 acres with
drawn in these various projects and
they are now in process of construc-
ton. He says that a conservative es-
innate is that 5000 families will be
given homes on these different pro-
jects.

Engineer Nicholas, there r fifteen
flowing artesian wells driven at a
nominal cost, one exceeding $500.
The wells were recently tapped and

necessary to take means to dispose or
