THE IKKIGATION AGE. 



DEEP WELL IRRIGATION 



Is most economically and successfully 

 accomplished with 



"AMERICAN" DEEP WELL PUMPS 



For over 40 years they have been 

 the world's standard in this type 

 of a pump. The deepest wells in 

 America are now pumped by these 

 pumps. 



The American trade mark on 

 a pump is a mark of known 

 quality. There's no experi- 

 menting, the pump can be 

 relied on to do all that is 

 claimed for it. 

 The "American 1 ' double act- 

 ing water cylinders deliver 

 full cylinder displacement 

 capacity both on the up- 

 stroke and the down-stroke. 

 Let us save you mousy on 

 your deep well pumping.

The Washington-California Investment Company, com- 

 posed of Spokane capitalists, has purchased 690 acres of land 

 near Corning, known as the Reid ranch, and will irrigate and 

 colonize it. 



At a recent meeting of 250 orange growers held at Covina 

 late in October, Supt. J. R. Elliott of the Covina Irrigating 

 Company stated that a project was well under way for the 

 addition of 700 California miners' inches to the present sup- 

 ply, and the expenditure would be from $125,000 to $150,000. 

 Two test holes will be bored, and if engineers report the 

 location of water-bearing gravel, the wells will be sunk in 

 this region and water lifted by steam or electric power. 

 They also discussed the feasibility of establishing a dam site 

 in the San Gabriel Canyon which would conserve enough of 

 the storm waters to supply the entire valley, including the 

 unirrigated 30,000 acres of the La Puente ranch. It is said 

 that this project can be built for about $1,500,000. The mat- 

 ter was taken under consideration. 



Work on the irrigation system started at Red Rock by 

 the Union Land Company has been resumed and new canals 

 are being built, and repairs made on the old reservoirs. Up- 

 wards of 30,000 acres of land will be reclaimed by this system. 



The Mojave River, Land and Water Company of San 

 Bernardino has filed on 80,000 inches of water and will irri- 

 gate several hundred thousand acres of land lying between 

 Daggett and Otis. The appropriation covers both the surface 

 and subterranean flow. A series of wells will be sunk in the 

 Mojave basin, and water will be raised to the surface by 

 means of electric pumping plants. A big dam will be erected 

 across the Mohave river and from the lake which this dam 

 will create, water will be distributed to the irrigation system 

 from the lake to the lands to be reclaimed. 



The Yucaipa Water Company has filed a trust deed by 

 which all the land owned by that company in the Yucaipa
