THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



The State Land Board has approved the plans for 

 the biggest reservoir yet undertaken in Idaho. This 

 reservoir will be the property of the Twin Falls North 

 Side Land & Water Company, and will be situated about 

 six miles northeast of Jerome. It will have a capacity of 

 l .Mi.iioo acre feet of water and will cost approximately 

 $500, 000. It will cover 8.000 acres to an average depth of 

 twenty feet and will water lands in the vicinity of Jerome, 

 \Vendell, Goocling-, Bliss and Ticeska. Contracts have 

 been let for the construction work and the dam is to be 

 completed by December ]st. 



Discovery has been made through repair work re- 

 cently executed on the Deep Creek Land & Water Com- 

 pany's dam near Twin Falls, that an underflow exists 

 in that channel which seems sufficient for enormous irri- 

 gation supply without having recourse to the flow above 

 ground. Last spring during the period when the snow 

 banks melted off the foothills, Deep Creek ran riot and 

 the upper dam of the Deep Creek Land & Water Com- 

 pany was partially washed put. Repairs necessitated 

 by this overflow have been in progress for sometime. 

 A short time ago when the workmen were excavating 

 in order to find bedrock, about five feet below the 

 stream's bottom they encountered a strong underflow. 

 It is now expected that promoters will sink wells on 

 the large arid areas in the foothills south, southeast and 

 southwest of Twin Falls, known as the Three Creek 

 region, with a view of discovering whether or not there 

 is sufficient underflow to irrigate the land. 



Homesteaders residing on the second and third benches 

 south of Boise are interested in the striking of a large 

 flow of water in wells sunk on the farm of B. S. Miller 

 near that city. Mr. Miller sunk four test pits and struck 

 water at a depth of five feet. He states that he will 

 sink wells to a depth of ten feet, cement the walls, 

 pump the water to the surface and distribute it over his 

 160 acres.
