a few days ago on his return from
trip to Smith Valley. About a
year ago the d, ctor discoveredit that
the water of the Fulstone Springs
contained wonderful medicinal
minerals, especially for rheuma-
tism and blood disorders. Since
the Seaton Health Resort was
opened, 50 cases Of rheumatism
have been treated aud q cure was
made in every case. Quite re
markable record for a beginning.
A great many other cases have
been treated and cure, II not

Should be County Road.

For several years past the roads
between Gardnerville and the
various prospects in Pine Nut,
owned principally by residents OF
this Valley, have been washed out
in place, making travel over them
impossible until repaired by the
Longfellow company. Mr.. Car.
man, manager nf that mine, states
that this work has fallen upon his
company, not being able to secure
any aid whatever from any of the
mine owners in this Valley who,
while they do not use the road a.
much az the Longfellow company,
still they use it to get in their men
and supplies TO preform the assess
ment work on their claims. In
Mr.. Carman's opinion this should
be made county road from Gard
nsrville to Bullionville. Gard
nerville gets the benefits of the
thousands OF dollars that will he
spent and paid out in wages and
Tor supplies, this Valley being the
natural supply point for all com
panies or individuals operating in
that section.

BILL DESIGNED
TO CURB INDIANS
FROM BOOKING

Ever since Nevada was n State
the problem of dealing with the
Indian who procures whiskey and
proceeds to get drunk and make it
unpleasant for both his red and
white brethern, has bsen diff
cult one. Long ago the press OF
Nevada advocated the passage OF a
law making it crime for the In
dian to procure and drink whiskey.
The following bill, introduced in
the assembly by Mr.. Leary, il pre-
cicely in line with advocacy of this
paper. The bill is short and to
the point. 1t will do more than
than any other one thing to stop
the evil it is intended to apply to,
and should pass both houses and
receive the governors approval:
Section l. Any Indian, who
shall, after the passage of this act
buy, purchase, or otherwise obtain
possession of any spirituous or
malt liquors, wine or cider, of any
description whatever, within this
State, shall be deemed guilty of
misdsmeanor, and upon conviction
thereof, shall be fined in any sum
not less than ten dollars ($10) nor
more than fifty dollars, or by inn
prisonment in the county jail for a
term not to exceed sixty days or
by both such fine and imprison-
ment.

by several flowing wells nearby.
Moreover, this flow from the sub
terranean channels will be aug
meated by the seepage or surface
water that is plentiful during the
months that irrigation is in pro-
gress in this Valley. To fully
demonstrate the practibility of this
mode of irrigation, the Dangberg
company will handle an S0-aere
field in the Haybourn tract 10

complished.
Burt Dake, the we'll borer, has
ordered a No. 5 Keystone well
drilling machine having capacity
of drilling II inch well to a
depth of 900 feet. As soon as ii
arrives tbs work OF drilling the
first multiple of wells will COM
mence.
Already 325 acres of the tract
has been disposed of and rapid
sales under the long term aggree-
ments and low rate of interest of
fered by the owners, will certainly
result in early settlement.
Sixty per cent of the nations s
wealth is produced by her farmers,
and right here let us tell YOU what
the soil of Carson Valley is doing.
A sixty acre field or well known
ranch and seeded to timothy and
alfalfs, last year netted its own
ers $12 per acre. Do you wonder
why the farmer is the most indie
pendent man of them all.
The trend of the eastern farmer
to the western states, is yearly
numbered by the thousands. To
them Nevada is unknown as an
agricultural state because of the
lack of publicity. Pick up any of

lation, for instance, Sunset" and

HAYB0URN TRACT NOW
OPEN TO HOMESEEKERS
CONTAINS 1000 ACRES
The First Move in the Work of Reclanrng
and Sub-dlDidng of Land BY the
Dangberg Company.

One of the most gigantic schemes
for reclaiming large tract of arid
land and what is considered the
most productive soi in Western
Nevada IL about to terminate in
crop producing proposition and
also furnish homes for from w enty
to thirty-fve families.
The II. +. Dangberg Land Il
Live Stook company has decided
and provided for the selling of
thousands of acres of their land,
but the initial work of sub-dividing
will commence with what is to be
known as the Hay ybourn tract and
containing approximately 1000
acres and situated almost in the
center of the Valley, being travers-
ed by the Minden extension OF the
Virginia and Truckee railroad and
the power line OF the Truckee
River Electric company. The
tract of land has been surveyed
and mapped and today is ready
for allotment at terms that no
young man can say opportunities
are not as numerous as they were
when his father was young. OPP
portunities in Carson Valley for
ambitious and energetic young
men are far more than they were
40 years ago, but like the men of
long ago, those OF today must have
the nerve and push to meet Oppor-
tunity at least half way.
The work OF reelaiming the Hay
bourn tract was fully explained
to representative OF this paper
by II. +. Dangberg, who has the
matter fully in hand. The ques-
tion of irrigation being the most
vital problem will be handled in a
very conscientious and systematic
manner and needs no aggrandize-
ment to bring forth its feasibility.
Up and until the 18th OF June Of
every year the flow OF water in the
Carson river will irrigate every
acre of land in this Valley. After
that date the flow is not sufficient.
To irrigats the agrarian OF the
Haybourn tract, the river flow,
under priority rights, will be used
until about the middle OF June.
Thereafter, if the supply runs
short, the defficience will be over
come by electrical pumping sta
tions of which every farm in the
Haybourn tract will be equipped.
Each plant will consist of multi
pie of wells ranging in depth of
from one to two hundred feet.
The outer casing will be
perforated in order to take up all
of the underground flow for the
entire depth of the wells. The
tract lays in a known artesian belt

BIG STORAGE
IRRIGATION DAM
Loyelock Farmers Will fxpend
Large Sum to Better Their
Irrigation Facilities.

BY the fore part OF the week, the
preliminary steps toward the ac-
tual construction work OF the
Humboldt reservoirs, will have
been taken, when State Engineer
Nicholas and alparty of Lovelock-
ers proceed to the site of the big
project, aud there carefully go over
the details OF the undertaking and
lay the plans for the preliminary
work.
The construction work can be
classed under three heads. First
the immense dam in the river at
the point where thelwater is to be
taken out, secondly, the canal to
convey the water to the reservoirs,
and third the construction on the
reservoir proper.
The dam will be located at a
point in the river about tao miles
from Mill City. 1t will be 225 1T
long, from seven to eight feet high,
and will be built OF concrete. 1t
will lcontaln an immense head
gate, and ample provisions will be
made for flood season. The esti-
mated cost of the dam is in the
immediate neighborhood oi $4,000.
The canal will be twelve miles
long and its estimated cost has
been stated at about $4,000, al
though those intimately acquaint-
ed with the project are OF the
opinion that it will not be so great.
The construction work at the
reservoir will be expensive, costing
in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Although this cost is trivial when
compared to the immense basins
that will be prepared for receiving
the flood waters of the river The
contour OF the large reservoir Will
be over l5 miles in length, while
the smaller will be at least ten.
As to how soon the work or a
portion of of it will be completed,
the men back of the project have
not given out any definite infor-
nation. 1t will require probably
require twelve months to construct
the dam. The work on this will
begin with a small force, very
soon which will be enlarged and
pushed vigorously after the harvest
season OF this year.
