A A.ClTURE Ct Nj G
RAPIDLY TO front

Frank Eaton, a horse buyer Of
Battle Mountain, is spending a few
days in this section, and brings
glowing report Of the many improve
ments that are now being made in
the country Immediately around
Battle Mountain
The keating Ranching company of
Utah last fall purchased l4,500 acres
of splendid agricultural land in the
Humboldt valley within few miles
ci Battle Mountain, and since that
time has been expending much money
and energy in improving it's holdings
The company has demonstrated be-
yond question that practically an,
amount Of artesian water can b.
had at depths efng from 100 tc
$50 feet, and many wells are being
sunk. which usually flow 2 1-2 inch
stream of solid water several feet
above the surface Of the ground.
Tests for artesiian water have ex-
tended for distance Of 20 miles
anlong the valley and, practically in
all instances an abundance OF artes-
Ian water is had. At a depth of
4 from ten to twelve feet an inexhanst
ible supply OF surface water Is OBJ
tanned, which is pumped to the sur
face and used for irrigating purposes.
Many surface wells are being dug and
pumps installed by parties who lack
the means at the present time to
secure artesian flows. The Keatine
Ranching company has already ex
pended about quarter Of millior
dollars on it's enterprise, and hal
been the means of brin ging in many
settlers who are now breaking vi
and cultivating the lands. The com
pany seems to be very strong finan
cially. bringing in its machinery, sucl
as implements. ditchers, graders, en-
: gines, etc. in carload lots.
