Tho winter that has just ended lias beon one of tho mildest known In years In southern Utah and the frult-growera and truckers are jubilant over the prospect pros-pect of an abundant and early crop of fnilt: nnrl VMrt.nVlf. At fit ficftpfrn tVia peach and almond trees are In full bloom and garden stuff i nearly all up. Tho sagebrush of the Escalante valley has taken on new life and vegetation of all kinds has started to grow. The Enterprise Reservoir and Canal company, of which G. A. Holt Is president, presi-dent, expects to resume In a short time the building of a dam at the mouth of the Little Pine valley. The completion of this Irrigating project Is of much Importance Im-portance since It is estimated that 5400 acres of very promising land will be reclaimed re-claimed by tho dam, which is located within two miles ot Enterprise and" twelve miles from JtTodcna. The country coun-try in that vicinity is being rapidly taken ta-ken up by parties intending to settle there. Word has been received from Ploche that the showing In the Wlllard property prop-erty is constantly improving under the efficient management of Charles E. Rlevis. It Is looking bo well that Judge J. M. Burton has decided to remain several sev-eral days longer on the ground. The Importance Im-portance of the recent strike upon the visit of R. W. Brady Is causing pelgh-boring pelgh-boring ground to be eagerly looked into and thoroughly examined. This is another an-other illustration of the fact that meritorious meri-torious ground may lay dormant and undiscovered for years In a camp where active mining has been pursued for oyer forty years, and shows that even a, limited lim-ited country 'may contain treasures which aro found only after many years of prospecting |
