SUCCESSFUL
DEVELOPMENT
Good Flow Of Water Obtained
By Opening Up Water
Mound ON Park Ranch

To increase a flow of water from
five gallons per minute to l57 gallons
per minute at a comparatively slight
expense is a result worthy of note in
this country where water is king.
The engineering department of the
state University through Dean Scrug
ham. and +. l.. Bixby representing the
Federal Government, has been engaged
in research and experimental work in
connection with water development in
Southern Nevada for some time. In
addition to the study of the growing of
crops and the use OF water for irriga-
ton in this section, they have been
making a study of the possibilities of
increasing the supply of water
available.
An examination of many of the
water mounds, so called, which dot
the Vegas valley, convinced the gentle
men that by opening up the mounds
very considerable flow of water might
be secured from many of them
promising location was found for
experimental work on the Park ranch
above the springs which now furnish
the water supply. An arrangement was
entered into with Dr. VIM. S. Park,
whereby he betrayed the cost of opera
tions over and above the salaries of
those engaged in the experimental

excavation reached depth of eight or
ten feet, the sides began to cave in
until there is now hole thirty feet
across and fifteen feet deep. The eff

ing At the beginning of the work q
( careful measurement of the water
showed a flow of 5 gallons per minute.
Now there is flow of l57 gallons per
minute and the flow is steadily in
creasing as the muck is removed from
the hole By pumping, 200 gallons per
minute is obtained.
Where there was little more than
seepage, there is now strong flow of
water coming up with considerable
force. AS the work progresses it is
necessary to crib against caving. 1t is
the intention to sink the crbbing to the
solid rock if possible and pump the hole
clear of sand and muck, removing all
to the natural flow of the
water and even if 10 further increase
is obtained, the results obtained are

the wreck of the ear in the brush a

He found that the machine had been

an elderly man named Grenneli.
The Sheriff arrested Reehe and
lodged him in Jail and succeeded in
drawing from him full confession Of
his crime. He stated that one night
after going to the show he met young
fellow called ''Iiypo' who told him
about the car-that the owner would
be gone for several months and of
fered him 1alf interest if he would
assist i'm stealing 1t and disguise it 10y
putting on new body. They went to
the garage in the night and took the
screws off the hinges OF the door, went
in and pushed the car out. With one
steering and one pushing they got it
as far as the schoolhouse, then decided
to get the horses. They hooked the
horses to the car and pulled it to the
place where it was found. There they
tore off the body and obliterated the
marks of identity 81 far possible,
working on the ear several nights.

Mr.. Grennell and James ID. Roberts,

that "Hypo' was there with Beebe
several nights and brought bundle of
tools, but declared that they had no
knowledge of the theft and were in no
manner implicated in it.
Upon waiving preliminary eXamlna-

SEARCHLIGHT
BOOSTERS HERE
Men From South Desire that
Auto Highway be Located
Through Their City

About score of the Searchlight
boosters made the run over from
Searchlght Monday to meet with the
Automobile Club to secure cu-opera-
ton i'm the endeavor to have the pro
posed Los Angeles Salt Lake automo-
bile highway located through their city
They were enthusiastic and thoroughly
in earnest i'm the move and advanced
many arguments in favor of their
location, the chief of which was that
the road is now practicable one and
that less expenditure will be required
by San BernardnO county to make this
good road, than by any other of the
proposed routes From Las Vegas to
Searchlight and thence to the state line
the road is already an excellent ono
and to connect with the Old Trails
route at Ibis will require but little
money in comparison with some of the
other proposed routes. 1t was urged
that San Bernardino county. being
short of funds for road work owing to
the heavy floods of last J January, could
be induced to make the expenditure
necessary to complete this link. where
as 1t would be hard to induce them to
spend larger amount for another
route even if the mileage is shorter.
M M. Riley acted as chairman of the
meeting and talks urging that Vegas
b1,. Of -, ho,gfinor Go fhai.
route were made by John Emerson,
James eastman. Chas. Lund and
others. Judge Thomas. DR. w. NJ.
Wadleigh, j. w. Horden and A. S.
Henderson discussed the situation from
the Vegas standpoint, generally eX-
pressing the views that the location of
the route would be fixed by the San
Bernardino county authorities who al
ready have the matter under consider
alton The idea was also expressed
that Las Vegas has no particular pref
erence for any particular route but
desires the best and shortest route
into Southern California that may be
obtained. Whether or not any other
route is selected by those promoting
the matter, the fact remains that
Searchlight is now on a good highway
and will always enjoy a profitable
travel.
j. w. Horden spoke in favor of
active cooperation with the Search
light people and his motion that
committee of three confer with the
authorities regarding the San Bernar-
dino county situation, was adopted.
The chair appointed Messrs Horden,
eastman and Wadleigh as such com
