Fork is three weeks in reaching
Humboldt Lake.
The source of the river is in Hum
boldt wells in eastern Elko county.
But If we take into consideration
it's longest tributary, the Humboldt
river rises at Island mountain close
to the Idaho line in Elko county
The writer ran his first newspaper
in the state hardly stones throw
from the source of the Humboldt
river. The office of the Gold Creek
News was in the old Martin ranch
house almost on the summit between
Rruneau and North Fork He ed

winter is cold, very cold. 1t storms
nearly every day and the snow piles
deep But in all that section except
scrub pine here and there and
little mountain mahogny, there is
scarcely tree, not even respec-
table willow. The result is
that when the snow goes off with
rush, in single day the hills
will be bare. Hence the floods in
the lower Humboldt and hence
the necessity of storage reservoirs
Unlike streams that flow into the
ocean the Humboldt gets smaller

No less a.. -; 1ority than Senator
W. e. Pitt Il.2s that third of IN
inch of water running through the
season will irrigate an acre of land
in this valley. We had come to look
upon an inch to the acre as
almost prOverbial. In speaking OF
the matter of storing water Senator
Pitt remarked, that ever since he
arrived in the valley in 1879, he
had looked upon the water in the
river flowing into the lake as just
so much grain leaking out of bag.
For forty years the people talked
about building storage reservoirs on
the Humboldt but nothing was ever
done until Mr.. Pitt became presi-
dent of the Humboldt-Lovelock Irri-
CATION Light and Power Company.
And all this time there was lying op

1t is probable that when Fremont
came through here the ground where
Lovelock now stands was all under
water as a part of the lake. Even
in lnodern times the site of the tow
WAS cane or tule swamp. If there
was q channel to the river in Fre-
mont's day it was probably on the

Mountain.

toward it's mouth. After leaving
the South Fork there is constant
diminution in the volume of the
main stream through seepage and
evaporation. Reese river and the lit
tie Humboldt are inconsiderable as
tributaries. The use of the river
byupper irrigators is also prin-
cipal factor in decreasing the volume
of the stream. But the early floods
in Elko county come long before the
irrigators are ready to turn the wat
er on the land. There will always
be an abundance of this flood water
for storage at the Humboldt House.
Again there is late flood in the
Humboldt that reaches the Lovelock
valley in July This comes from
the snow in the high mountains.
Lying between the Humboldt range

tains on the west is the Lovelock
valley. Roughly speaking it is forty
miles from Oreana to White Plains
and the valley has an average wild
tn of eight or ten miles. Taking tn
gentle foothill slopes the area of
the valley is approximately two hun
drcd thousand acres and of this for
Ly thousand acres is covered by the
Humboldt lake.
Old Lake Lahontan whose ancient
shore line is plainly marked on
the sides of Lone mountain west of
town filled all this valley at one
time to a depth of several hundre
feet of water. The recession of the
waters left an alluvial deposit many

But the reason for this was to
bring the outlet into the reservoir as
high as possible. Thus when pres
ent contemplated reservoirs are full
to the sixteen foot mark there will
still be Il drop of about sixteen feet
from the ditch to the surface of
the water. BY doubling up the
dykes of the reservoirs the storage
capacity can be doubled.
1t was found impractical to locate
the intake to the ditch farther up
the river on account of the bluffs "a
long the way But the capacity of
the ditch can easily be increased by
widening it to any size desired. Its
present width is 80 feet on top, 25
feet on the bottom and designed to
carry seven feet of water This gives

man took his last drink out of the
humboldt lake. His oxen had their
last green food from the rye grass
along the shores of the lake. Many
are tho thrilling tales told of those
early hardships. The Thompson &
West history of Nevada, which was
published in 1881 speaks thus:
The Forty-mile desert, the terror
OF the early am;grants, where in
1850, hundreds, or rather thou
sands of wagons, harnesses, yokes,
and skeletons of horses and cattle
attested the reality of their appre-
tensions, is a part of this barren
plain
1t is part of this barren plain
that storage reservoirs will turn in
to a garden.
Even in those days with the Who'll
valley apparently flooded there was
always scarcity of water in the
late season. Hence the many law
suits over water rights. And all t..
time there was an abundance OF
water for all going to waste, in the
Humboldt lake. 1t was stored in
the wrong place. The Mill City
project is designed to correct this.
If we estimate the duty of water
at two feet and the evaporation at
four, then the forty thousand acres
of water in the lake would reclaim
an agricultural area twice that size
But the evaporation is nearer six
feet than fpIr and il takes less than
two feet of water to grow a crop on
land i'll this valley.

at the Humboldt House and they
irrigate $4,000 acres or four dollars
an acre. The government in its
national reclamation service, often
spends forty dollars an acre.
1t was toward the close of the
last century that John G. Tayor,
John O'Kane and b. F. Lynip took
up the Humboldt reservoir sites
and a preliminary survey was made
in 1899. Mr. Taylor was too busy
a man with his many other inter
ject and the application for reser-
voir sites lapsed.
II. F.. Hasukins and others relo-
Gated the reservoir sites. In July
1909 Senator Pitt became interested
in the Mill City project, as it is
now known, and thirty days later he
had men and teams on the work.

store it in the reservoir sites near
the Humboldt House thirteen miles
away. Next February, or possibly
a little later, when the first chin
ook brings down the melting snow,
the big canal will be ready for its
burden. For the season of 1912
there will be such crops in the
Lovelock valley as were never seen
before.
All central Nevada during the
glacial age was a series of inland
seas. The shore line of one vast
body of water ran near the Hum
boldt House. The wind and the
waves tossed up sand and clay en-
bankments from the aIluvial depos-
IL brought down from the disinte-
srating mountains. Then the river
canyon was cut sixty feet deep and
the upper lake was emptied into
the big body of water that COW
cred all the Carson sink country.
There was left behind in the up
per country, shut in by the sand
and the clay hills certain depress-
ions in the valley, that are today
the natural reservoir sites of the
Mill City project. Here is the most
feasible storage. proposition in the
arid west. 1t may be that j. Gin
acca. the first resident of Winnemuc
ca, who spent one hundred thousand
dollars in 1852 on the first large
irrigation enterprise in the Hum
boldt valley had these reservoir sit
es in view. This was the origin of
Mill City where the mills working
Star and Unionville ores were to be
run by power furnished by the Gin
acca ditch. The canal was to have
been fifteen feet wide, three feet
deep and ninety miles long, and this
would have brought it into Lovelock
valley IT, never reached farther than
W:nnemucca, % miles from thetn-
take, and was abandoned a. early
as 1871.
II thcre ever was in mind
prospect of utilizing the reservoir
sites in those early days, the pro-
ject had a long sleep. The late
John O'Kane was the real father
of storage reservoirs at the Humbol'
House. 1t was he who first took
up the sites in the eos and began
a campaign for the enlistment or
capital. But let US give credit to
him to whom credit is due. The
first man to give public voice to the
question of building storage reser-
voirs for irrigation purposes spoke
long before the national reclama-
ton act was ever thought of. He
is nearing the four score mark and
at one time was the owner of twelve
thousand acres in the Lovelock val
ley. He is the man who in 1885 as
state senator from Washoe county
introduced bill in the Nevada leg
islature to invest the State
school ftind~"in the construction
of storage reservoirs. 1t would hav
been the best investment, Nevada
could have made. The man Is +.

The Humboldt river is said to
be the longest inland stream in the
world, having a length of $50 miles.
But IL we follow it in all its wind
ings through the marshes from one
side of the valleys to the other, its
length is more than thousand
miles. This makes a sluggish cur

The WEDDINGS.

The WEDDINGS.
This will be a week of weddings in
Pensacola.
The brides and the. grooms are all
so exceptionally well known. and SO
much has already been said of them
not only by the home papers but by
the down state and out-of- state press
as well. that there are few indeed who
do not anticipate one of those unusu-
ally gay weeks socially which some
times transform Pensacola into a gay
medley of interesting events not soon
to be forgotten.
These particular Easter brides have
married so soon after the Lenten
period, that the general round CT
showers and bridal teas have been
necessarily done away with, for there
has. forsooth, been no time in which 20
plan TO give them, so recently has the
squiet of the Lenten tide prohibited all
such unseeming pleasure.
a The wedding receptions, however,
are all to bear an added elegance and
Interest to pay for it all, and there are
