MORMON CHURCH MAY BUY RANCH IN NEVADA When waters rise behind the big dam in Boulder Canyon and the Mormon Mor-mon ranchers are 'fotfeed to move from St. Thomas they may decide to enter Pahranagat Valley, one of the most fertile farming areas in Southwestern South-western Nevada.

The ranch includes water rights from Crystal Springs and Ash Springs which furnishes a flow more than adequate for irrigating the whole tract is under fence but the cultivated area is not extensive as the owner devoted most of his time to stock raising with a herd comprising over 500 head. A daughter now in South America who also has extensive holdings hold-ings in South Africa is said to have inherited all the rights and she wishes wish-es to dispose of the farm which she left in early childhood. According to reports from Alamo is proposed to cut the big ranch into holding of 100 acres each suitable for the requirements of Mormon truck farmers. Tonopah (Nev.) Times.
