OUR PROJECT
is FILLING UP WITH HOME
BUILDERS.
There Is Much Good Land
Still Available For
Settlement.

1t is refreshing in these times of out
side depression to know that our pro-
ject continues to forge steadily for
ward; not with meteoric rapidity but in
a manner that insures an enduring
foundation and stability in it's con-
structive fabric that spells unbound
ed success which is the goal towards
which we are all travelling, if we have
our own desires fulfilled. 1t is likewise
fact that people within this project
are in large part ignorant of the i'm
nense amount of development work
that has been done during the winter
season just past or of the amount of
lands now held in private ownership
and by government land filings.
With more than year of hard times
facing US from the outside financial
centers, the trend of local business af-
fairs is decidedly upward and the fol-
lowing figures relative to lands now
taken will go long way towards prov
ing that real interest in Truckee- Car
son project affairs has been awakened.
On May 1st, 2 farm units taken
from the public domain, were being re-
sided upon and cultivated by active
bona fide residents. The area en-
braced by these farm units approxi-
mate 26,039.s3 acres. On the same
date 354 water apple atoms hal been
received by the department subject to
the reclamation law, which concerned
total Of 81, S79.1 acres, the difference
in the two totals being represented by
lands held in private ownership.
On the same date there remained
available for settlement 317 segrega-
tions of irrigable land, belonging to the
public domain. which can be secured
By homestead filing only, 131 segrega-
tons of railroad lands remain unsold,
as do 1895 segregations of lands held in
private ownership, water for which can
be had only upon transfer to bona fide
home-builders, according to the terms
of the reclamation law. The unsettled
public lands, available at the present
time comprise a total area of 81, 257
acres, the unsold railroad lands, 9S40
acres, and the unsold patented lands,
held in private ownership, 1850 acres,
or total of 90,77 acres which are still
available to the homeseeker, which
goes to proye that while we have much
substantial development and con-
stantly increasing population, we still
have room for several thousand fami-
lies.
The total irrigated area of last season
amounted to $4,000 acres and, as stat
ed in recent issue of this paper, this
area will be added to by an addition of
10. 600 acres of new lands, which repre-
sent the combined efforts of the old and
new settlers for the winter of l908-1909.

would be an excellent thing if Wingfield
did take over the property, as he believed
that mill would be installed as soon as
practicable. He said there were ten
thousand tons of ore on the dump, the
values of which would run from s15to $25
a ton. The only manner in which these
values could be extracted was by mill
on the ground as it was not sufficiently
high grade to stand the cost of shipment
A late story from Fairview is to the
effect that Wingfeld has already taken
over the controlling interest but will
make no announcement until the Lind
suit has been disposedof

Birthday Surprise Party.

About fifty of the friends of Mrs.
Wallace Ferguson surprised her yes
terday when we say surprised, we
must include Wallace also for they
caught him home with his working
clothes on and almost took his breath
away. The occasion was Mrs. Fergu-
sons birthday but no amount of per-
suasion over the phone would induce
her to disclose the exact number of the
milestones reached, but Mr.. Ferguson
said that she was acting just like she
was sweet sixteen" again but that
sometimes he thought she was around
eighty.
Anyway it was birthday and we
are informed that the eatables that
were spread in celebration of the event
included the work of some of the finest
cooks in the valley. Mr.. Ferguson said
the ice cream was cold and the coffee
h,t and that he expected to fill up to
that degree that his May grocery bill
would be way below the average.

Ten Gents a Copy

Ii is hardly likely that another season
will ever pass without this ouch or
more being added to our crop growing
area. D. w. Hayes, engineer in
charge of maintenance of this project,
estimates in round numbers this seas
on's crop producing lands at 10000
acres, and believes that this seasons
census will bear out the estimate. If
we estimate the value Of each acre at
s15, which is certainly conservative,
we have a total valuation, representa-
tive of the seasons product for this
valley of nearly three quarters of
million of dollars. 1t will be nearer a
million.
When we take into consideration the
fact that large portion of this crop is
raised under conditions that are new;
that each section has its own peculiar
problems to solve, and this is no ex-
ception to the rule; that the lands now
in process of reclamation in this dis
trict are largely in the hands Of people
to whom irrigation farming is a new
departure and sometimes by those
who never sew an irrigated farm be-
fore, the showing made to date is real
ly remarkable.

NEVADA HILLS
MAY HAVE ALREADY CHANGED
HANDS.
George Wingfield Has OPP.
ton On Control of This
Bonanza.

The most authentic information that
can be secured would indicate that
George Wingfeld has practically con-
sumated the deal whereby he and his
associates will take over the Nevada
Hills property OF Fairview. Wingfield
is the owner of the Fairview Eagle and
for almost month employees of that
mine have been working in the Nevada
Hills property, ostensibly for the pur-
pose of sampling it thoroughly so that
an estimate could be made as to its
value. 1t is well known that Wingfield
has had an option on 600, 900 shares
which assures control. AS Nevada
Hills stock is at present quoted at Sl.s0
the deal would involve values Of $40,
900.
II. B. Lind, of Yerrington was in
Fallon last week on his way to Fair
view and he says that until his suit
against the Nevada Hills is disposed of
the company cannot part with their
present holdings or any of the treasury
stock. Lind claims to have grub
staked the original discoverers OF the
Nevada Hills and claims as his share
one third of the entire property. The
case is set for trial in Goldfield on June
/, and until this matter has been dis
posed Of it is not likely that any official
announcement Of change of control
will be made. Lind recently secured
an injunction against the company to
prevent the sale of large block of
treasury stock, which remains effec-
tive until the issues involved have been
decided by the court.
Mr.. Lind expressed the opinion that 1t
