INCREASING TRAVEL WILL
DEMAND AUTO CAMP

With Phoebe included in the State
Highway construction program the
Phoebe Commercial club has in view
the matter of providing an auto
camp for the convenience of the
greatly increased number of tour
lists who will pass through the Coun-
ty Seat during the ensuing summer.
AT the next regular meeting Of that
body committee should be appoin-
ted to look into the matter and esti-
mate the probable cost of land pur-
chase and equipment.
With a small outlay of funds
Phoebe could provide an attractive
camping ground for tourists which
would encourage them to spend tive
or three days in resting and making
side trips to the many places of in
/ terest in this vicinity.

purposes, but water sufficient to
irrigate 10 acres Of land. Mr.. Oling.

hole to a depth of 800 feet II nee
essary but expects to encounter the
main water strata at about 200 feet
possibly getting strong fiow at that
depth as the indications are very
favorable for artesian water. The
drillers are making about 20 feet {
day which with a continuation of ia,
orable conditions will not requir,
any length of time to make the 20t

Mr.. Olinghouse expects to get suf

acres in alfalfa each year and II
case he has to pump does not expec

This work is being watched wit

IL profitable to establish great un-
derground reservoirs. 1t had been
| found in the sixties and early seven
ties that the boring of wells in Ger
tain moist areas was followed by
flowing water and, when the surface
supplies had all been appropriated,
engineers, turned their attention to
these lands and the storage sites as
the two remaining sources which
promised most in the way of increas-
ing the available supply. The Gage
canal system, completed in 1886, has
depended from the first almost en-
tirely upon underground waters, and
its first unit of 1900 acres of splen
did citrus lands were an example of
what may be done. Since this expert
ment the development of under

there were nearly 1000 artesian

lands bordering the artesian basin
where water could be obtained near
the surface and at slight cost by

in more limited way where higher,

have enabled the fruitgrower to lift
water to greater heights and to
pay the resulting higher charges.

Superintendent Ward believes that it

During the work of rehabilitating
the mine many faces of good ore
have been discovered and work is
now progressing in order that shin
ments may go forward as soon as the
severe winter weather abates.
The high grade ore exhibited by
Engineer CHAMPION reminds one OF
the stories of the early days, when

with small fortune each time. Il
