THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



ARTESIAN 



has been discovered in southern Nevada, on the main 

 line of the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake R. R., 

 only a few hours' ride from Los Angeles, California. 



On October 10th a well was brought in, flowing 120 

 miner's inches at a depth of only 325 feet. 



The soil is the very richest, producing pears, apples, 

 figs, alfalfa (alfalfa returns over $100 per acre) and all 

 kinds of vegetables. One man received over $1,000 from 

 one acre of vegetables! 



There are 15 flowing wells; over 7,000 acres of land 

 have been taken up since the first of October. A syndi- 

 cate of wealthy mining men from Tonopah have taken 

 up 3,000 acres and are preparing to irrigate it and sell 

 it to settlers. All this land is within eight miles of Las 

 Vegas, the coming town of Nevada. Five years ago 

 Las Vegas existed only on the map, and what is now a 

 thriving town was only sagebrush. Today, there is a 

 population of 1,800, macadamized streets, electric lights, 

 telephone, a fine hotel, The Nevada, equipped with all 

 modern improvements; the railroad is expending one 

 million dollars in machine shops; the Pacific Fruit 

 Express Co. have built a new Ice Plant costing $250,000; 

 125 cottage houses are being built for the skilled laborers 

 who will come to work in the railroad shops. Las Vegas 

 is the supply point for the great mining sections of 

 Tonopah and Goldfield.
