ADDRESS 



G. A. MILLER 



842 Crescent Place Chicago, 111. 



has been retained to make surveys for improvements. It 

 is proposed to construct a reservoir on Anderson arroyo, 

 for which the company has voted $150,000 in bonds. 



John T. Warren, of Greeley, is soon to launch a proj- 

 ect involving an estimated expenditure of approximately 

 $11,000,000, and calculated to reclaim 1,000,000 acres in 

 Morgan, Logan and Washington counties. In an inter- 

 view M'r. Morgan stated that the company plans to build 

 a dam across the narrows of the Platte river about six 

 miles below Weldon. The capacity of this reservoir will 

 be 1,000,000 acre feet. 



Early last month it was rumored that the Beaver 

 Land and Irrigation Company, operating in the vicinity of 

 Beaver creek, west of Pueblo, had been consolidated with 

 the Canyon City, Florence and Pueblo Water Company 

 project. General Manager Matlock, of the former com- 

 pany, denies that there have been negotiations for such 

 consolidation, and states that his company is preparing 

 to increase its acreage. 



Through the agency of Ball De Weese and others a 

 meeting of land owners in the vicinity of Canyon City 

 was held in that city under the auspices of the Canyon 

 City, Florence and Pueblo Water Company. Mr. De 

 Weese and others, interested land owners in the project 

 for the reclamation of 300,000 acres in the Arkansas valley 

 between Canyon City and Pueblo. It is proposed to in- 

 vest about $8,000,000 in construction work. 



Upon application of Gerald Hughes, La Fayette 

 Hughes, J. I. Case of Milwaukee, the state has recently 

 granted rights on a 144,000 acre tract north of Hayden, on 

 the line of the proposed western extension of the Moffit 

 road. The new project is known as the Traveler's Lake 

 and Yellow Jacket Irrigation Company. It is proposed to 

 build a series of reservoirs to impound 210,000 acre feet 

 of water from the White river, which will be brought 

 over Yellow Jacket pass. 



A. E. Bent of Lamar is said to be heading a move- 

 ment to organize the territory on the north side of the 

 Arkansas river between Las Animas and Wild Horse 

 creek, involving about 100,000 acres. He plans to com- 

 plete the Mammoth reservoir site on the Purgatoire river, 

 and also to construct a reservoir thirty miles below Trini- 

 dad. Providing the organization is carried forward rap- 

 idly, Mr. Brent predicts that the construction work will 

 be completed before the spring of 1911. 



The Colorado State Land Board has recently heard a 

 protest of the Bent County Reservoir Company against 

 the Carey Act segregation asked by the Valley Invest- 

 ment Company. The latter company wants rights on 24,000 

 acres of land in Bent county, but the reservoir company 

 states that if this right is given the supply for its project 

 will be inadequate. State Engineer Comstock is of the 

 opinion that there is enough water for the irrigation of 

 24,000 acres by the Valley Investment Company and 10,000 

 acres by the Bent County Reservoir Company. 



H. W. King, a civil engineer of Chicago, is reported 

 to be arranging the details for a consolidation- of numer- 

 ous projects in the west end of Montrose county. Aside 

 from combining numerous small districts containing ap- 

 proximately 50,000 acres, the projected company proposes 

 to take water from the Dolores river near Rico and re- 

 claim about 50,000 additional acres by the construction of 

 reservoir and canals. The reservoir will supply water 

 for lands in the East Paradox valley. Present capital of 

 the small companies aggregates $75,000, and it is esti- 

 mated that not less than $300,000 will be required for im- 

 provements. 



Through negotiations closed at Denver recently it is 

 announced that the Herylyn and the Golden-Littleton ir- 

 rigation systems have been transferred to the Camfield 

 Development Company, in which David H. Moffit, Wm. 

 G. Evans, J. K. Mullen, Gerald Hughes, D. C. Camfield 

 and other Denver capitalists are interested. Lands com- 

 prised in these two districts are located within a radius 

 of forty miles of Denver and aggregate 125,000 acres. 

 Bonds to the amount of $432.000 have been issued by the 

 District and the Camfield Development Company secured 

 control through the purchase thereof. About 100.000
