TESTS IS MADE
ON MACkAy dam
Purchasers Of the Big Lost
River Project Preparing
to Complete Project.

That the purchasers of the Big Lost
River irrigation project are carrying
on a thorough investigation of the
works there and making complete
tests to determine whether or not
solid foundation can be reached at
reasonable depth on which to recon-
s;ruct the Mackay dam, is the infor-

the works on behalf of the Corey Bros
Co. struction company.
