PROJECT
IN SAN JUAN COUNTY
THREE RANCHES AGGREGATlNe
2oco ACRES PURCHASED ABOVE
PENNINGTON.

Pennington, N. NJ, March 10
One Of the largest real estate deals
made in this section for years was
closed here, is announced by the
"TimeslHustler.' George r. Pratt,
Andrew r. Garrett and associates
purchased the Mrs. G. ". H. Carlisle,
r.. H. McDaniels, and G. w Conner
ranches at Jackson up the La Plata
river about five miles above Farm
ington. This comprises approximate
ly 1000 acres OF land.
The land has not heretofore been
under cultivation with the exception
OF a small number Of acres, due to the
fact that most of the water comes
from a reservoir that is very incom
plete. Mr.. APratt's associates plan
to build the reservoir dam up thirty
feet aor more, and estimate they can
store some 800 acre feet of water
in the reservoir. The work Is to be
completed in the course Of five years,
the investors having agreed to put
several thousand dollars into the
project each year until finished.
The ranch is to be stocked with
Thoroughbred stuff and promises to
be n Of the model farms Of the
basin. A number Of w~elLto-do Sill
.verton business men are behind the
venture, and they are able in every
way to carry out every detail of tho
proposition.

vague purpose; or, at least, had a
feeling that, If 1 waited ON something
would develop in the direction of INV
