IRRIGATION SYNDICATE GETS WATER RIGHT 

 PERMIT. 



The Western Land and Irrigation Syndicate has re- 

 ceived notice from the state engineer that the permit for 

 their water right has been granted. 



The company is now in a situation to safely go ahead 

 on the construction work of its dams and ditches. 



The permit calls for 15,000 acre feet of water which is 

 to be reservoired by a dam across Steptoe Slough north of 

 the Young ranch at Melvin or Warm Springs, Nevada. 



In expectance of the issuance of the permit the com- 

 pany at its last few meetings has been planning to put 

 its engineer, J. N. Wattson, in the field to make the sur- 

 veys necessary for the work. 



Five thousand acres of land have been withdrawn by 

 the United States under the provisions of the Carey Act 



from entry and have been set aside to be irrigated by our 

 local company. 



The work will be done under the inspection of the 

 State Engineer's office, the first work will be done before 

 November 10, 1911. 



This project will furnish farms for many families, and 

 it is one of the pioneers in the field in the state of Nevada, 

 where the irrigation projects under the provisions of the 

 Carey Act are but started. While other western states 

 for the past few years have irrigated thousands of acres 

 under this act, Nevada has done nothing on account of 

 the faulty laws during this time. Since the enactment of 

 new laws by the state during the two last Assemblies. 

 Nevada will have the opportunity to develop thousands of 

 her fertile acres, and it is to be hoped that the project of 

 the Western Land and Irrigation Syndicate is but a fore- 

 unner for other similar projects in White Pine county.
