Territorial Engineer Vernon L. Sullivan has approved the 

 plans of the Camfield Irrigation project, which will bring 

 thousands of acres of land lying close to Las Vegas under 

 irrigation. D. A. Camfield, the promoter, gave bond for 

 $100,000. The storage reservoir will have a capacity of 

 22,000 acre feet; the dam will be 1,400 feet in length and 71 

 feet high. The project will cost $1,000,000 and the board 

 of trustees of the Las Vegas grant has contracted to turn 

 over to the Camfield company 17,000 acres of the grant in 

 payment for the system. Work was commenced on the 

 project on September 2, and will be completed in time for the 

 1912 crop season. 



Indian Agent Shelton of Ship Rock is constructing a 

 large irrigation canal to cover about 10,000 acres of mesa and 

 valley land. It will be for the use of farms cultivated by the 

 Indians. 



The application of H. C. Kinsell and J. M. Reeves of 

 Stanley for an irrigation project has been approved by Terri- 

 torial Engineer Sullivan. The proposition is to dam Armijo 

 arrpyo and a tributary arroyo for the purpose of storing water 

 to irrigate 13,000 acres of land twice a year. This land has 

 formerly been dry farmed. The land to be reclaimed is 

 almost all homestead land and lies between the town of 

 Stanley and the New Mexico Central railroad. The main 

 reservoir will be created by a dam 85 feet high, 143 feet wide 

 at the bottom and 1,885 feet at the top, impounding the water 

 in a natural rock bottom dam site. The second reservoir 

 will be made by erecting a dam across an arroyo which will 

 be crossed by the main canal from the first reservoir. Work 

 is to commence by February, 1911, and be completed by 

 August, 1913. 



The irrigation plant at Portales, which is the work of 

 the Western Construction Company of Wichita, Kansas, has 

 been completed at a cost of $350,000. The plant irrigates 

 10,000 acres of land. There are seventy pumping stations 

 connected with the system which have 72 miles of transmis- 

 sion line with a central power station located at Portales.

Dear Sirs: In reply to yours of today, asking how I like your Ten Bottom Mogul 

 Engine Gang Plow ; I will say, I have been in the Steam Plow business for eleven years 

 and had, I think, the first Steam Plow in Iowa (that I know of, at least), and I have 

 never seen a plow that would take hold in the heavy gumbo land like your plow and 

 scour right off as it did. The heavy double beams, the easy adjustment of the plow and 

 of the beams as well, the shape of the mouldboard make it (in my judgment) the best 

 plow for our heavy gumbo land I ever saw. When I tell you our 22-horse engine walked 

 off with tan 14-inch plows, plowing in the sod, it speaks for the easy draft. You need 

 not hesitate to refer any one to us. Respectfully yours, 



(Signed) J. Z. ADAMS & SON. 



The Platform is level; there are no openings for the operator to fall into. Each gang is controlled by 

 an individual lever. Notice how the levers are "bunched" together near the center. The operator has 

 all the levers within arm's , reach and can operate them from the center of the platform. This saves 

 walking across the platform whenever it is necessary to raise or lower the bottoms. Like everything 

 else we make, these plows are "Backed by an Unqualified Guarantee."
