Too much attention is paid to the
mining and quarrying industries OF
southern Nye and not enough to the
gradual reclamation OF the Amargosa
va,,ev from desert conditions. From
the time the tourist enters the upper
Amargosa at Springdale NOW called
pjoneer) to some distance south of
the Narrows, below Beatty, he is
constantly passing small farms which
will some day form the nucleus of a
great grazing and farming country
A decade since, there was not a
ranch worth mentioning in the en-
tire Amargosa A more barren land
could scarcely be conceived. Now
the valley boasts several fields, rang
ing from twelve to twenty acres in
extent, and each year sees more OF
the land brought under cultivation.
At the old town of Springdale the
ranch OF A. l.. Lidwell is the first
seen and, therefore. mentioned. This
land has, been in cultivation for the
past seven years, but II is only in
the last year or so that the owner
realized the necessity OF drainage
TO the extent of putting in drainage
bitches, which have rendered avail
able considerable acreage hereto

of the water flow to the surface,
Several acres of corn land are under
cultivation here and prospects for

There has never been time within

gress as well as by the President and

STATESMAN WANTS
TROOPS WITHDRAWN

A prominent Mexican Statesman
said the other day that the American
punitive expedition into Mexico has
served lis purpose. Altho' villa had
not been killed or captured. lie said
Villas power Is broken and that he
can never again rally his followers
Furthermore he said that the Mex
lean people are becoming dissatisfied
over the presence on their soil Of
foreign troops, and argues that the
United States would not tolerate the
presence of an army from Canada
should a similar cause arise.
We doubt the force Of his first
proposltlon-shoud the American
troops withdraw II is probable that
villa would come out OF the brush
and soon gather up strong force
Of his followers and prove Just as
formidable as before the hun started.
As to his second proposition, II is not
to the point. Should a band of out
laws make a raid in Canada and come
back, there would be no occasion for
Canadian troops to come over after
them. American authorities would be
quick to arrest the Offenders and
