Book synopsis

Excerpt from Lyon County: Where It Is, and What It Contains; Close to California, Made Up of Rich Valleys and Mineral-Laden Hills, It Still Has Available Lands at Reasonable Prices, and Is an Ideal Homing Spot This county has a population of only 4000 people, and might with ease have ten times as many, for, at present, she averages less than three people to each square mile. She has about acres under cultivation - in a way - and fully as many more that might be utilized for agricultural pur poses when water is once supplied it; and about one-half of this latter area is soon to be watered by a big irrigation project now under way. This surveyed project will draw its waters from the lower end of Bridgeport Valley, thus impounding the waters of East Walker River. Regarding other possible projects, the State Engineer has this to say: The Alkali Lake Reservoir is one of the most feasible sites remaining in the State of Nevada, in fact, in the entire West, for its size. The cost per acre for it would be far below the average cost of Government reclamation schemes or of private schemes which have already been carried to successful completion. This is to show that all our sites, as well as all of our land and water have not been utilized. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
