Nf6IOIlAllGY HAS
BIG TRACT or land
NEAR CANuH CITY

The Gains Investment Company Of
this city. Of which sfr. NJ. c. Gains is
president and Mr. George Prentiss.
general sales agent. has recently
gained large tract of fertile land,
comprising between two and three
Thousand acres in what is known as
the Sloan District.
This land is just over the line in
Pueblo county and is about 25 miles
from Canon City and about Is miles
from Florence. 1t is situated upon 4
sunny plateau with just enough slope
to afford excellent advantages for ir-
rigation.
One remarkable thing about this
land is that underlying it is vast
artesian belt that holds an inexhaust-
ible supply of water that can be- had
only for the drilling. In the last year
or two three wells have been drilled
and each well now flows volume 4
two cubic feet per second of time.
The three wells together now water
between 1000 and 1000 acres and
with the other wells proposed or now
being drilled this district of Sloan
Will soon have wonderful and de-
pendable water supply that no other
portion of Colorado can boast of.
The Gains Investment Company, not
satisfied with this supply even, have
secured the first water rightz ON Red
Creek. that during the food season
carries large volumes of water. They
have already constructed a canal
that carries this water through their
land and for period OF from sixty to
ninety days during the spring this
canal carried its capacity. 27s cubic
feet OF water. enough TO water al
their land without the aid of the
wells which water so much terri
tory.
Seldom II ever has any other pro-
ject had such vast amount of water
to rely upon and II is certain that
this new area will be valuable as
set and an important tributary to the
trade at Canon City.
The soil Is a rich sandy loan and
has the same properties as that that
has made the fruit districts Of Canon
City SO valuable. Mr. Gains. Mr.
woodford and others have lived in
this section for years and before the
wells were drilled they grew 30
bushels of wheat without any irri-
cation whatsoever and since the
advent of the water the amount of
produce has doubled. A ready market
for everything Is fcvnd In Canon City
or Florence.
The district is but six miles from
two lines of railroads and shipping
facilities are very good The company
has started an extensive advertising
and boosting campaign and since this
and has been opened for sale num-
srous investors have taken up the
proposition gladly with the result
