 together with a party of California and Pennsylvania capi- 

 talists, has planned to reclaim 8,000 acres of land in 

 Smith Valley. The company backed by these men has 

 already sufficient water and has some land under irriga-

 it will be able to irrigate the vast acreage to be opened

 Fort Bidwell has let the contract for the boring of a
