WATER is DEVELOPED
BY ARTESIAN WELLS
Splendid Results Obtained by
Work North of This CITY

During the past month there has
greatest reclamation ~proJcct thar has
been undertaken in this section of
Nevada
Some months ago Mr.. f. b. umst-
cd OF Reno with some associates
acres of land i'll this County. The
idea was to sink wells, place pumps
when they are in condition for cul-
tivation South Of this City the first
wells were drilled A good flow was
encountered, enough for several
tracts, but as larger casing is to be
early next season when work is to be
re esumed on broad plan. This sec
ton OF land is at present sagebrush
covered and when tested gave the
highest results OF any land submitted
to the chemists.
At the pres the work is being
prosecuted at the Schultz ranch
north OF this City about two miles.
\ series of wells have been sunk AT
the present ti4e over 100 gallons per
minute is flowing from the artesian
wells, while the sumps are in such
condition that they will furnish $50
gallons per minute when the pumps
are in action
Concrete reservoirs are to be built
that will hold 100000 gallons. They
are so arranged that two thirds oi
the land can be covered with gravity
low from the reservoirs, the re
being flooded with pumps. This
work has been under the manage
ment of A. {. Pratt and he has Ger
tainly figured out some nice prob
lens and developed al the water that
is necessary for the first 100 acres
Mr. Bumstead visited the wells and
works Sunday. He was more than
pleased with the results. In talking
the mater over he said:
There is no question as to the
water supply on this particular tract
The wells are all that | could ask
for and the work is in splendid shape

Epidemic Rife
Among Hogs

An epidemic is killing of the hogs
by the wholesale in Mason and ada
cent valleys, says the Ierngton
Tines, one ranch having lost as high
as $50 porkers during the summer,
and others from 20 to 100 head.
What the disease is, apparently has
not been learned, and if any means Of
combating the disease have been
taken, it is not known. 1t would
seem that so great loss would call
for an investigation by some author
ity on hog ailments. Certainly the
carcasses Of dead animals should be
burned so that they will not be eaten
by other hogs and the disease spread
any more than possible

interest. In this film a party Of men

party leave the limpid waters of a
quiet pool, but soon spring out into
the rushing torrent. Presently they
approach gorge through which the
water roars Gercely. A narrow
place between the rocks is the only
place navigable. 1t seems that they
must be instantly dashed to pieces,
but in moment they find themselves
out on the other side in smooth wat
er again.
Time and time again during the
trip the party seems in imminent
danger of complete destruction in the
turbulent, seething waters which
dash over the cruel rocks, like some
wild animal licking its lips. in antic-
ipation of feeding on its prey. AT

 At no time since congress met in special session on April has Presi- dent Taft or his advisers been con vinced that the senate would fail to have a vote on the pact before ad- journment or that the agreement would fail to pass in one form or an- ether.
