BLM to hold wild horse and burro adoption Flume is reminder of pioneer efforts Remnants of a timber flume on the main fork at Dry Fork Sinks is a 100 year old reminder that "Dry Fork is Dry." The two mile flume was built between be-tween 1894-1896 to by-pass the main Dry Fork sink which annually sucked in 20,000 to 30,000 acre feet of water. In a pamphlet printed by the State of Utah Department of Natural Resources of 1971 it states, "The water loss from the steams to the sinks, particularly during the summer sum-mer when all the available flow was lost to the underground, has puzzled and frustrated the Uintah Basin residents resi-dents since pioneer times. "A number of tests and studies have been made and projects for diverting di-verting the water around the sinks have been proposed by individuals, water-user organizations and government gov-ernment agencies. Some successful diversions have been made, but others oth-ers have failed. "The flume efforts proved to be in vain, for, when the water conveyed by the flume was turned back into the channel, it disappeared into the rocky streambed. Also, the flume leaked so badly that its footings washed out and it collapsed. Believing that they might have to build a flume the total distance down the canyon, the people abandoned aban-doned the project. "Later, some of the main Dry Fork flows were diverted from a point above the main sink area to the adjacent Deep Creek drainage, and this diversion is still carried out today. "At the present time, summer flows in Little Brush Creek are diverted di-verted around a cave for irrigation use downstream." The flume took two years to build and used lumber from the flume mill several miles away. The flume is now a historical site and is only accessible by foot.

However, much is happening to them and the potential is high for someone getting hurt who doesn't understand what the animals are experiencing. ex-periencing. For this reason, visitors can help at adoptions by approaching approach-ing the pens and animals slowly and quietly and making children aware of the dangers. The U.S. Government owns the wild horse or burro that is adopted for one year. When the adoption agreement is signed, application for title is also applied for to own the animal. Twelve months later the adopter will receive an eligibility letter. This letter, along with a statement state-ment from a veterinarian, or a local humane society official, certifying that the animal is being properly cared for, should be returned to the BLM Salt Lake District. 2370 South 2300 West, Salt Lake City, Utah 84119. The title will then be transferred trans-ferred to the adopter. Adopters arc asked to notify the BLM, Vernal District Office, if their address or telephone number has changed after the animal is adopted, or if the adopter would like to reassign reas-sign the animal to another person. An adopted animal cannot be sold until title has been issued. Because of BLM concerns about (he health and safety of the adopted animals, three-horse or larger trailers trail-ers are required for transportation. Adopters should also bring a lead rope and halter. These will be put on the horse or burro by BLM personnel. per-sonnel.
