EUREKA'S FUTURE

r. w. Foster, the noted mining en-
gineer, who has been examining the
Eureka : Croesus and Eureka = King
properties for more than two months,
left for the East to-day. He carried
with him a great amount of data re-
garding the two properties as well as
the district generally, which he will
lay before his associates and friends.
Before leaving he said:

MUCH WATER TO Be
SAVED IN HUMBOLDT

State Engineer J. G. Scrugham has
sent out the following to the press OF
Nevada concerning data recently gath
cred concerning the Humboldt river
reservoir sites:
THE Office of the State Engineer
has Just received a full report on the
Humboldt river Investigations which
YER made during the past year in
cooperation between the State and
United States reclamation service.
This report covers preliminary sur
yeys and data on the most practicable
reservoir sites and the records Of
stream flow at various points on the
river which have been recorded dur
ing the past twenty-three years 1t Is
recommended that the initial reser-
voir development be made on the
south fork of the Humboldt, to be
followed by others as the adjudica-
lions are made and the irrigation
systems improved.
THE report calls specific attention
to the fact that most of the irrigation
systems in the Humboldt valley be-
tween Palisade and Oreana are of q
very primitive character and esti-
mates that a minimum of $4,000 acre
feet of water can annually be saved
by improved systems of regulation
and distribution in this district. It
is estimated that an average of 120,-
900 acre feet of water, now lost. can
be stored and made to serve land sus-
ceptible of improvement"

ments IN both products plus increasing costs
OF labor and materials have more than kept
pace with increased production and except
tor the obvious duty of collaboration among
manufacturers to restore the morale Of busi-

there would be no justification whatever for
price reduction at this time.
Nevertheless we are convinced that such
procedure is today both sound and construc-

be earned by taking present loss-and it is
our earnest hope that before the period ex-
pres within which, under existing conditions,

and our costs will have dropped enough to
warrant our making the new prices permanent.
