George Whittcll, present owner
of the f. & P, who was expected
to reach Palisade Tuesday for an
inspection of the railroad from
there to Eureka failed to arrive
and as far as the Sentinel can learn
nothing is known at Palisade when
he will arrive there.
1t is learned that the construc-
ton work on the railroad as far rs
that to be done by the contractors
is concerned has been finished and
ali the construction forces except
a few men employed at Diamond
station, in repairing the water
system there were this week taken
off the road and into Palisade.
Some of this force is now employ
ed in the company's shop there in
changing engines from coal TO oil
burners and repairing the rolling
stock.
Outside of this, all other work
and plans for putting the railroad
into active operation are held w
pending orders from Mr.. WhitteIl.

will lie received today or to-
morrow.

WITH PUMPS
IN SPRING VALLEY

Forest d. Goody, a mining man
of Osceola. is demonstrating what
energy and a little money can do
in reclaiming the desert. Mr..
Goody has located 260 acres in
Spring valley. on the main road
about four miles from Osceola.
Mr.. Goody has sunk two wells,
which by pumping will supply
sufficient water to irrigate fifty
acres Of land, which is now being
broken up and fenced. A rsser
voir is also being constructed
which will store sufficient water
to irrigate a much larger acreage
than will he cultivated during the
present year. The land which is
being reclaimed is easily and
cheaply prepared for cultivation.
Aside from grain crops Mr..
Goody will plant fruit trees of
various kinds. and within a few
years will have an ideal ranch.
MIR. Goody is making The first
effort in Spring valley TO reclaim
the desert by pumping water. His
success will doubtless he folded by
many others who have filed loca-
tions in the valley.
At Shoshone. in the southern
end of Spring valley, are many
springs, the flow from which covers
several hundred acres of ground,
creating large sloughs and lakes
where the water remains for the
entire year. 1t would seem that
this water should be used for ir-
rigatlng purpoes, and by pumping
plants elevating it to the foothills
nearby, at slight cost. it could be
made TO reclaim several thousand
acres of land upon which only sage
brush is grown at the present time.
The holdings of the Nevada Land
and Irrigation c,mpany, are
located about twenty miles south
west from ShOshone. This COM
pany is now preparing to reclaim
10000 acres of land under the
Carey act, by an extensive pump
ing system. If this enterprise proves
a success, which it undoubtedly
will, the same system could also
be used at Shonsheore with like
results. Ely Record.
