OF GROUND AND PLANS READY
FORGOOO CONCRETEBU|LD|NG

An option on the ground and i'm
provements remaining on the site
of the old Tonopah block on Brough-
er avenue between Central and ST.
Patrick streets has been given Ger
tain parties who have been looking
into the merits of the property for
some time. These men, who repre-
sent Reno capital, propose to i'm
prove the site with two story con
crete building that will virtually be
duplicate of the one destroyed by
fire on the night of July 8, 1912.
Should this proposition go through
and there is scarcely any chance of
it slipping up, it is said that others
will improve forthwith, Among the
tenants seeking quarters in the old
block the Wells Fargo is mentioned
and several brokers are said to be
willing to return to that district.

says:
Riparian Rights.
81 have no hesitation in declaring
that the doctrine of riparian rights
has no application whatever to the
facts Of this case, or that rules de-
rived from it have had any value
in similar situations since the pas
sage Of the Nevada Engineer Act Of
1907.
"The true rule l believe to be
that the owner of the land through
which the water runs or into which
it runs possesses merely the right
TO use it beneficially and that only
where he has made a legal appro-
priation He owns not the water
but the use of It, That use has
been and is circumscribed by law TO
protect other users. He has no right
to waste drop Of it. He has no
right to enlarge his appropriation
of it after the rights of others have
attached to the detriment Of those
others or at all without complyine
with the law.
Water Owned by the State.
"The water of the state is the
property Of the state It's use has
been subject to abuses Its value
is entitled to the active guardian
ship over it of the state To this
end has been created the office oil

the most needed administrative Of
fices in the state, and becoming one

Recognizing the Engineer.

1T would have done him (Seyler
no harm to have recognized th'
state engineers authority after 1870
when acts Of God required him t
change his point of diversion an'
when he then or afterward contem
plated the cultivation Of new land
and such recognition would hav
saved himself and others considerable
trouble and expense,
His failing to do so, however
raises another question, whether h
could have made an appropriation
after 1907, and before any interver
ing rights arose below him withou
a permit from the state engineer

OF 1907 is perfectly plain; it's inter
