THE IRRIGATION AGE.

A large canal for the irrigation of 10,000 acres of land 

 in the Grand Valley, near Grand Valley City, will be com- 

 menced in the near future. Water will be taken from the 

 Grand River, and the canal will varry 300 cubic feet of 

 water per second. The canal will be over 20 miles long. 

 It is estimated that the cost of this project is $500,000. 

 The land uder the system will be sold in ten and twenty 

 acre tracts. 



At a recent meeting of the board of directors of the 

 Uncompaghre Water Users' Association, held at Montrose, 

 it was decided that the government will supply water 

 from the Gunnison tunnel only to those whose ditches 

 which have signed up for tunnel water, and no land will 

 be supplied under any consideration that has not sub- 

 scribed. Heretofore it has been the rule that no ditch 

 could be supplied with water from the tunnel until 25 

 feet had been subscribed, but this rule has been rescinded. 



Lewis A. Curtice of Denver has brought suit in the 

 district court against the Colorado Milling & Elevator 

 Company, and John K. Mullen, to recover $24,333. Cur- 

 tice claims to have been damaged to this amount by being 

 deprived of the use of water from the Platte River, which 

 runs through the old mill ditch in west Denver. Curtice 

 avers that he owns 73 shares of water, which were secured 

 by him in 1866. He claims that the milling concern has 

 been using his share with the rest for 10 years. It is 

 stated in the complaint that in March, 1900, the milling 

 company built a bulkhead, cutting off his supply alto- 

 gether. He places a valuation of $5.000 per year on his 

 share of the water.

DRILLED WELLS FOR IRRIGATION 



Make Every Well a Flowing Well 



Flowing wells are not found in every locality, but they 

 can be made to flow to their full capacity. 



Every farm and every ranch should and can have their 

 own water supply; a good well adds thousands of dollars to 

 the value of a property. 



The first item of expense is the only expense; a good 

 well is inexhaustible and lasts for all time.
