GREAT WATER STORE
IN EASTERN NEVADA

The Ely Record thus tells OF con-
ditions In eastern Nevada, which also
apply to many other parts Of the
State:
For some years past the Record
has been attempting to awaken an
interest in the great possibilities OF
underfow water for irrigation pur-
poses in various valleys of eastern
Nevada, but SO far without securing
any material results. Everybody
knows that the water can be had at
a depth of from $50 to 200 feet, which
will rise to within a few feet of the
surface of the ground. This fact has
been demonstrated by Government
test wells in Steptoe valley, but the
general public does not seem to be
interested In the matter, and yet
thousands of people are hunting lands
for the purpose of making new
homes. In another column of the
1ecOTu Will Uc iouhu O ShoiS oSeouhe
of a party of colonists from New York
who have arrived in Idaho and Sc
cured lands from the State at a cost
of $125 per acre, which is no better
than hundreds of thousands of acres
that could be had in Nevada under
the homestead act.
1.-THE difference is that the land in
Idaho is already provided with water,
but by the time 1t has been prepared
for cultivation it will probably cost
the purchaser $3.50 per acre. Lands
by the thousands of acres could be
brought under cultivation in many
valleys Of eastern Nevada for one
tenth of that amount, but owing to
the fact that loeal conditions here are
not known, because of a lack of ad-
vertising, Nevada received but very
few new settlers. However, the un-
derflow water is gradually becoming
better known and the time will prob

FEEDER SHEEP
PRICES RAISE

Reno Gazette: That the promise
of Government loans is having an eff
feet on the prices of feeder sheep and
cattle is indicated by reports received
by the Nevada Live Stock Association,
Secretary Vernon Metcalf announced
to-day. Prices of the feeder sheep
and cattle is steadily strengthening,
the reports show, and there is a par
ticular stiffening of the price o. breed-
ing ewes.
In a telegram received from Joseph
Manderfield, manager of the Salt
Lake Union stockyards Monday the
association was advised that 5000
sixty-pound white-faced feeder lambs
from Spring Valley, White Pine
County, Nevada. had brought five and
a half cents a pound at the stock
yards yesterday. Feeder lamb prices
are also reported to be gradually ris-
ing at the Chicago market.
A sale at Stockton a few days ago
of yearling ewes with heavy ~fleeces,
the association has also been advised,
brought seven and a half cents.

NEVADA CATTLE WIN HONORS

The Cazier Nevada Hereford farm
captured the highest stock honors
awarded in the west. according to the
Elko Independent. and the Warm
Creek Land and Livestock Company's
imported Corston Masher attracted
the most attention of any at the In
ternational Livestock Show held in
Salt Lake recently. The result of the
meet, at which competition was very
keen, proved that Elko County pro-
duces the finest brand of cattle known
in the entire cattle producing terri
tory of the United States.

Tonopah Times: Unemployment
may prove a benefit for Nevada and
good may come from evil conditions
IL one is to take any stock in a tele-
gram received by Col J. G. Scrug-
ham from Congressman Arentz in
curing for the names and magnitude
Of projects already approved by the
Government as part Of the compre-
hensive plans for internal improve
ments. Nevada Is a field OF the great
est potentialities. 1t is the frontier
State of the Union without regard to
personal pride. and the vast area fur
nishes more opportunities for judic-
ious investment than can be found In
any other State OF equal size. Instead
of lighting and fussing over the divi-
sion of water from Lake Tahoe, IL the
engineers would get together with
some acceptable idea of water pros
pecting they would place the taxpay-
ers of Nevada under lasting obliga-
lions. With a deficient precipitation
that in most sections does not furnish
an excuse for even experimenting
with the so-called dry farming theory,
the primary purpose of any new rec
lamation project should be to deter
laine the underfiow of the State.
The mountains catch a heavy rain
fall. which flows down towards the
main streams, losing a sensible per-
centage in its transit. This loss can
not be accounted for by evaporation,
and the best hydraulic engineers con-
cede that the diminished flow reach
ing the streams finds its way through
seams and ~crevices to subterranean
basins or reservoirs, where 1t is stored
by nature, waiting for the hand of
I1a TO release 1t from confinement
and convert 1t to some use in irrigat-
ing the arid lands of the desert. The
existence of this underflow has been
demonstrated from time to time in
widely separated regions, SO the the
ory cannot be denounced as wholly

be sought for by immigrants.
"A few months ago., when the Ar
kansas river went on a regular ramp
age, many irrigating bitches leading
from the river to the farms YER
washed out, and as a consequence
thousands of acres of crops were lost.
One farmer, however, who was using
underflow water for irrigation sup
piled IA other ranches with water
from his well. and this has attracted
attention to underfow water in that
section, and 1t is now proposed to use
it for the reclamation of vast tracts
of land in the upper valley Of the Ar
kansas which cannot be supplied from
the main river"
