commissioner for the Duckwater dis
trict in an attempt to settle the
long pending dispute in that section
over the rights and quantities OF
water to be appropriated by the
ranchers in that section, has in

in Tonopah about month ago this
paper printed a story in which he
was quoted as saying that the
springs had not been affected when
the waters were turned in Duck
