THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



IRRIGATION NOTES 



(Continued from page 270.) 

 Immediate construction of the high 

 line ditch of the second unit of the 

 Prickly Pear Valley pumping project, 

 near Helena, Mont., is planned, ac- 

 cording to an announcement by Max 

 Hebgen, manager of the Montana 

 Reservoir & Irrigation Company. It 

 will reclaim ;;,149 acres of land, and 

 will be nine miles long. The water 

 will be lifted by electricity from Hau- 

 ser Lake, a height of 163 feet. Two 

 lower ditches that will reclaim 8,636 

 acres of land will be built whenever 

 sufficient land is signed up for water 

 to justify the expense. At present only 

 874 acres have been signed. The first 

 unit was constructed two years ago. 

 It reclaims 6,000 acres, but not all of 

 the land has been signed up under it, 

 some of the large eastern land owners 

 refusing to farm their land, and also 

 refusing to consider any offers under 

 $150 an acre. 



flume 7->jj miles in length and diverts 

 the waters of the east fork of Rock 

 creek from that watershed over the 

 divide into the Trout creek district of 

 the upper Flint creek watershed. This 

 ditch carries approximately 1,000 min- 

 er's inches of water, which is calcu- 

 lated to be sufficient to irrigate 2,000 

 acres of land. 



Nevada 



A verdict in the case of the Porter 

 Placer Mining Company vs. Mrs. 

 Moses Stockdale is expected soon at 

 Nevada City, Nev. A decision in the 

 plaintiff's favor will mean that work 

 will start very soon upon an irrigation 

 and mining scheme. The project, 

 which is backed by George Wingfield 

 and other wealthy Xevadans, is to 



build a dam across Deer creek at the 

 intersection of the Newtown road and 

 the creek to make a reservoir that will 

 impound sufficient water to irrigate 

 from 30,000 to 40,000 acres of land. 

 The right of way for all of this land 

 has been tied up, but the option given 

 by Moses Stockdale before his death 

 is contested bv his widow. It is the 

 intention of the promoters to mine 

 the gravel that is taken from the bed 

 of the creek to build the dam, and the 

 gold that will be secured through 

 dredging the gravel is expected to pay 

 half the cost of building the dam. The 

 dam will cost about $1,250,000 or more 

 when completed, and this cost will in- 

 clude a redwood conduit twenty miles 

 long into the lower country that it is 

 proposed to irrigate. The conduit will

 Royal way of sending di-

 powerful hammerstroke 

 of its accelerating type- 

 bars of carbon steel ! 



And there is a rigid carriage 

 that meets the millions of blows

The Royal way is "better busi-
