places water on its lands by September 10th, the board 

 will consider that it has forfeited its contract with the 

 state. This is what is known as the Ignacio project. 



A. B. McFall. civil engineer for the Hardscrabble irri- 

 gation district, comprising 13,000 acres, near Florence, 

 has completed the preliminary survey of the system and 

 has estimated cost for putting water on the land at 

 $62 per acre. 



The board of directors of the Mammoth Irrigation 

 District have ratified a contract with the Purgatoire De- 

 velopment Company, providing" for the acquirement by 

 the former of three-fifths interest in the latter, thus mak- 

 ing certain the building of reservoirs and canals which 

 will place under irrigation about 85,000 acres of land, 

 much of which is situated about 15 miles north of Lamar. 

 The entire cost of placing the water upon this land will 

 not exceed $40 per acre. Twenty-year bonds, amounting 

 to $3,500,000, bearing 6 per cent interest, will be issued. The 

 Mammoth reservoir will contain 178,000 acre feet and 

 the Mammoth King 50.000 acre feet, in Prowers and 

 Kiowa counties. 



W. R. Hotchkiss of Montrose, with several associates, 

 is planning to open 3,500 acres of land in the Paradox 

 Valley, near Nubia. The company expects to build two 

 irrigating ditches, twelve and twenty-four miles in length, 

 to bring water to the land. The undertaking will occupy 

 three years. 



Extensive improvements are being made on the Otero 

 Irrigation District canal. The ditch is being widened to 

 thirty-two feet at the top and twenty feet at the bottom, 

 and will have the capacity to carry six feet of water instead 

 of three and one-half feet, as heretofore. The improye- 

 ments also include thirty miles of dredging, six cut-offs 

 and a tunnel 2'.850 feet long at King Arroyo. The work 

 will be completed during the year 1911.
