Those in Montana and Wyoming Prs-ss- Great Engineering Difficulties. WASHINGTON, April 13. The progress made in the irrigation work of the government Is reviewed In a publication issued by the Geological Survey which points out the necessity for great caution and conservatism in the expansion of the reclamation work. It says that of the irrigation projects favorably reported in 1893, which included those of the Truckee river, in Nevada; on the Balt river, in Arlsona; on Milk river, in Montana; on Sweetwater river. In Wyoming, and on Gunnison river. In Colorado, the Nevada and Arlsona projects hHve been found feasible and construction on the engineering works along the Truckee and Salt rlvera haa progressed to a reasonable extent. The Montant project, however, haa presented unexpeetd engineering difficulties, as well as com piles tions regarding water rights, so that progress is slow. It has been found necessary to modify the first plans in order to achieve early results. The Wyoming project as first outlined has been found Impracticable. A better reservoir site than that on the Sweetwater river, however, haa been discovered on the North Platte, so that a large system of development may be worked out there in the future. Engineering dlffl cultles are encountered In the Colorado project. Irrigation in New Mexico, according to a census report, in 1902 shows acres irrigated from all sources. The number of farms represented was 9,285 and the average cost per irrigated acre $16.87. Since 1899 the Irrigated acre has increased 51,052 acres, or 25 per cent, while the increase for the was over 122 per decade of 1889-9- 9 ANOTHER OIL WELL.

The point selected by Mr. Wallace at which to drill the first well is about two miles south of the Guffey-Gale- y bore and a little north of west from Centerville. As soon as boring begins It la the Intention of Mr. Wallace to work two shifts and send the drills to the deep without a moment's unnecessary delay. He will employ what is known as a standard rig, which necessitates the building of a most substantial derrick much heavier than that required to operate the combination works. rig at the Guffey-Gale- y During the Several days which Mr. Wallace hits been here he has been making a close study of the properties owned by the Union company and in the very near future he will select the point at which the aecond well will go cent down.

Mr. Hilstrom, It is understood, has Just taken a bond on the 48,800 acres tract of grazing land In Cache valley belonging to J. H. White and others, besides having secured leases on 5,000 acres of other land in the same valley. This great tract of' land is to be made the basis of a powerful company that will develop the oil and gas prospects, which are understood to be with as little delay aa 254,-9- Ticket Office, 79 W. 8econd South St. R.
