Another great reclamation project
that will add materially to Ari-
zona's agricultural and horticultural
wealth, is rapidly coming into al
actual reality.
The above picture shows the greal
Frog Tanks dam on the Aqua F'ria
river So miles northwest of Fhoerix
as it looked on August 80 when i,
was estimated to be 2S per cent
completed.
This immense concrete structure
that will present water face III
feet above the bed of the Aqua Fria
is designed to hold the now waste
waters of the Aqua Fria river for
use in irrigating 10000 acres o.
rich agricultural land, that only
needs the life giving water to be
very productive.
This selected tract lies almost di-
rectly west of Phoenix being only
two miles north of the Phoenix to
Yuma paved highway and some 20
miles west of Phoenix, transporta-
ton is assured as the Santa Fe sys-
tenn tracks pass through the project
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-10-03

This project, known as the Beardsley
district has lain dormant for sew
eral decades awaiting economic
changes.
The district was first selected by
w H. Bearlsley and associates, VINO
did considerable development worS
during the last decade. Economic
conditions being wrong at that time
Beardsley devoted his attention to
securing data, selecting land and
other matters preparatory to actua-
development. So well was this done
that when the proper time arrived to

This immense man-made lake wiz

Estimates made show that 100000

to irrigate the project. Careful run

GONE IS GLAMOUR
OF ONCE FAMOUS
VIRGINIA CITY
BY BUD lands

Pavement huggers and round-the-
block tourists will find little in this
story to inspire travel, but the throttfst
who thrills at the crunch of a good
mountain road under wheel, far from
maddening traffic, will yearn to aim a
venturesome radiator at the destination
herein described.
This Chevrolet touring yarn is about
Virginia City little town perched on
the mountainside % miles off the
transcontinental highway in western
Nevada. 1t is place with a past; once
it's inhabitants lived the crowded hour
and fortunes were made with the turn
of a shovel.
Virginia Cstys history is golden; the
name has a silvery sound From be-
meath it's slanting real estate came en-
richment which formed the foundation
of many western fortunes Flood,
Mackay, Sutro, Fair, Mills-names to
conjure with-were familiar characters
in this Ettle mining town in the roar
in, diggin days of g.
The town clings midway up the side
of Mt Davidson, $3.50 feet above sea
level. Streets are steeply terraced one
being from 40 to so feet higher or lower
than the next one.
Today, the aged Buildings careen
drunkenly at street sides, their fronts
flush with the sidewalk, their rears
propped perilously on stills that have
grown unsteady with the years. "C
street, the main thoroughfare, is lined
with sagging wooden awnings, above
which are faded sCgns telling of things
that are gone.
Gone! That one word seems to best
describe Virginia City. Gone is the
glamour of other days and the wealth
with it. The hard working, hard fight
ing pioneer mining men have vanished;
gone is lovable Mark Twain from the
time worn edifice that housed the
DAILY Territorial Enterprise" of which
he was city EDITOR in the halycon days.
The very building described by his own
facile pen as a stately fire-proof
brick" still stands with uncertain dig
nifty in the center of the town. The
mark of years is upon lit, and within
the forsal1en type cases stand, dusty
and forgotten. The place has an air of
utter desertion.
Across the street in the Crystal Bar
huge glittering chandelier with be-
spangled coal oil lamps still hangs
above a parched and peaceful bar
parched by tenderfoot's law and peace
full because of the absence of a hundred
boisterous and thirsty throats.
In the early 6O's-flush times-this
miHng town had more population
underground than there is now on the
surface. During the boom there were
gathered here 10000 souls-persons ra-
ther-for according to accounts there
were more human beings than souls
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-10-03

included in Virginias rough residents.
The great 'Comstock lode" stretched
directly under the town from north to
south. Beneath the crust the earth is
riddled with shafts and workings.
Nearly 500 miles of tunnels honeycomb
the mountain under the site of Virginia
City.
Output of the Comstocl1 is reputed to
have totaled $5OO,OOO,OOO in silver and
$4OO, 10000 in gold.
Money was Virginia City's most com
mon commodity in the heyday of it's
career Everybody had it. Nabobs were
as thick as bees and twice as busy,
trying to spend incomes ranging as
high as $1,000 a day and failing. The
tattered hummer of yesterday became
the millionaire of today. Almost daily
some grub staked prospector returned
to camp staggering with pay rock with
which to repay his benefactor hum
dred fold.
| The silver lode was discovered in
1858. Production of precious metals
was at it's height here in 1868. The real
good tfmes lasted about three years.
Winding down the mountain side into
Virginia City, one gazes out over the
hot, dry landscape, finding it hard to
believe that less than three quarters of
a century ago hordes rsked their lives
and endured the untold hardships of an
overland stage journey to reach this
spot. Only dreams of great and sudden
wealth could have lured the pioneers to
such a place
1 The sage brush slopes in this vicinity
have been ansacked---literally turned
inside out in the wild scramble for
treasure laden quartz. Beyond these
scars there IS nothing but a far-reach- :
ing panorama of mountain and desert.
Virginia CITY is % miles beyond Reno
and only 10 miles off the paved high
way Leaving the pavement, the ascent
! winds over Gieger grade.
On some of the sleeper curves, the
sojourner lis wont to gasp at the
thought Of Hank Monk and his col
leagues driving a six-horse stagecoach
laden with bullion and passengers down
the mountain side at breckneck speed.
One needs but little imagination to
reconstruct mentally scenes of another
day along this route. There is Robbers S
Roost, Dead Mans Curve, the ruins of
the stage change station and a dozen
other romantic landmarks along the
way.
The course lies through the Virginia
hills directly over Pine Nut ridge. 1t
is an easy hours dive to the old dig
gins" from Reno and great side trip
for transcontinental tourists.

Pershing Fails to

PARIS, Oct. General Pershing,
during his visit to Paris, called at the
city residence of Marshal Foch only
to find the former commander In chief
Of the Allied armies was at his coun-
try home, the Chateau De Morlaix, in
Brittany.
"By Jove," Pershing is quoted as
having exclaimed, cit won't ever be said
that I came to France and failed to
see Marshal Foch."
"The marshal might be informed OF
your DESIRE" Foeh's aide de camp sug-
gested to Pershing.
Eyes and perhaps bother the marshal
and have him come to Paris" inter-
rupted Pershing. II shall not permit
that"
"It is up to me to call on Marshal
Foch. Am not always his subordi-
nate?"
General Pershing took the next train
for Brittany, where he spent two days
with the marshal before sailing from

The coal miners strike in England
has contributed to the increase in the
cost of living in France. Partly be-
cause the British have had to import
fuel from the continent to keep their
chimney pots smoking. French house,
hold coal has risen 43 per cent in price
since the first of January.
| Higher coal has meant higher prices
for everything else, for it has Increased
the cost of manufacturing and OF
transportation. With the coming of
September the price of gas, which
almost every Paris household utilizes
for cooking or lighting, or both, was
boosted 13 per cent The gas COM
! panies blamed it on the cost Of coal.
Dresses in heavy tweed and cloth
for autumn wear and winter ensembles
trimmed with fur are to be seen in the
windows of dressmakers.
| Straight tailor made rules again this
year with velvet predominating as ma
terial used. The skirts are little
longer than in 1925.
"Slim as you like, you may look, but
little more length on the skirts"
seems to have been the motto of the
designers.
An attempt is being made to bring
back the picture hat, not quite as large
and decorative as formerly but still "a
picture hat" 1t is generally made OF
velvet or felt and is trimmed with
feathers, flowers or ribbon. Small felt
hats with draped and ribbon trimmed
crowns are worn with tailor modes. A
felt hat, designers say, is at home with
any dress.

hats" one leading designer said re-
