The Chicago. Burlington & yuincy Railroad Company 

 have purchased ten acres of land from John R Huey of 

 Akron, at $50 per acre. It is the intention of the railroad 

 company to put in a large reservoir on this tract of land. 

 It is stated that the purpose of this reservoir is to ascer- 

 tain the length of time required to fill such a reservoir 

 by bringing water from the bottom of the Burlington's 

 deep wells and thus prove or disprove the feasibility of 

 obtaining waters by this method for the purpose of irri- 

 gating the uplands of eastern Colorado. 



At a meeting held at Rulison recently, for the purpose 

 of organizing an irrigation district, money was raised for 

 making temporary surveys. About 5,000 acres of land are 

 included in the district. The project is contemplated for 

 the purpose of pumping water to an elevation of 180 to 

 200 feet to start with from the Grand River, and will be 

 hoisted at a point near Webster Hill and be carried by 

 ditch or pipe line down the Battlement Mesa, south of 

 Grand Valley. 



As the result of investigations being made by secret 

 service men, 10,000 acres of rich land on the western 

 slope, and valued at $3.000,000, may be forfeited to the 

 government and again thrown open to settlement. The 

 land in question is what is known as the Redlands tract, 

 just across the river from Grand Junction. Sometime 

 ago the office denied the claim of contestants which had 

 been filed, but it was supposed that the matter had been 

 settled in favor of the original entrymen, but a notice 

 received from Secretary of the Interior, under date of 

 July 30th, states that the contestants have not established 

 their rights to the land, and at the same time there is a 

 suspicion of illegality in the original entries. 



The Secretary of the Interior has affirmed the de- 

 cision of the General Land Office, rejecting the joint ap- 

 plication of F. W. Bosco and Cyrus Miller for right-of- 

 way for the Wagon Wheel Gap reservoir over certain
