ACTUAL PROFIT FOR EACH
DOLLAR

The actual amount of money raised
and spent by those ten companies has
not been published, but from esti-
mates based upon what was spent by
two of them that is known, 1t cost
about 1851 100000 for all ten This
gives a profit Of over $4,000 for every
dollar expended by the promoters, on
an average. The profit on one that Is
known was nearly 100000 for each
dollar actually raised and spent by
the members Of the company, but 1t is
believed that is exceptionally great.
Those companies covered 780,311.2O
acres Of land with their systems, and
had sold water rights for GIG, 1914
acres when the report from which
these figures were taken was pub
lished
WHY so LITTLE FOR so MUCH?
These legitimate large returns from
such small investments are based up
on the method provided by the United
States for raising the money to pay
for construction Of the works. All .
company has to pay out is for sur
veys, examinations, etc., necessary to
show the Secretary Of the Interior
that the public land can be reclaimed,
and covers the main canal lines and
reservoir sites. Later, and before
contract is entered into with the
State to construct the works, the lat
erals must be laid out and examina-
tions Of the reservoir dam sites made,
to enable a determination being made
of what the works will cost.
As soon as the contract Is entered
into with the State the land is open
ed for settlement and water rights
sold to cover the land, as no one can
locate upon any of the land until he
has secured q water right from the
company to cover it. This furnishes
AM immediate revenue for carrying
along the work until the bonds are
sold.
In Idaho, two of the companies
| fled with the State Land Board, IN
| their report, statement Of water
rights sold the first year. One of the
organizers OF the first company told .
prominent Nevada friend they only
| paid out 100000 from their treasury
