FRITZ MOLLER PIONEERING
IN COUNTY OF WHITE PINE

The legislation is local in its effect,
extending only to Nevada, where Pc
culiar conditions, such as geographic
situation. the. absence of streams or
other bodies of surface water. the arid
ity or semiaridity of the soil and the
sparsely settled country seem to re-
opment Large areas of productive
lands in the surrounding valleys as
well as in the Phoebe valley should be
reclaimed by the development and use
of underground waters. The facts out
lined above are taken from thoughtful
articles appearing in the Ely Record,
which is doing good work toward the
development of the northern valleys.
Fritz Moller is making the first prac-
tical demonstration of the use of un-
derground water for irrigation in

RECLAMATION MEASURE.
FOSTERED BY PITTMAN

The Nevada reclamation bill, intro
auced by Senator Key Pittman and be-
ing urged forward by him. has now
nsssed the senate and is recommended
for passage by the department of the
interior. The bill when made a law
authorizes the secretary of the interior
10 grant to any person. association or
corporation a two-year permit to ex-
Dlore for water beneath the surface of
; $40 acres of public lands in the state
Of Nevada. IL the exploration is sue
cessful in developing water sufficient
in amount to produce some agricultur
al crop other than native grasses upon
as much as twenty acres. then the sec
retary of the interior Is authorized 10
grant a patent to one-fourth of the
land covered by the permit. a maxi
mum of $40 acres, and to dispose of
the remaining lands at public auction
in farm units of not less than forty
acres.
The proposed law is especially
adapted to the groundwater lands of
eastern Nevada and has a direct and
great local Importance. 1t is construct
i've legislation of the highest import
ance, even though limited to one state.
What il means to the Phoebe valley no
man can correctly foresee, but anyone
may be able to see that it means car-
tain exploration for water and the
probable settlement of the valley and
the resulting production of agricul-
tural products. The terms of the bill
seem to be liberal enough to justify
the expenditure of money in prospect :
ing, as the reward of success is fairly
certain.
