Power Plant which is a higher use of water, and consequently, prohibi’tive.’’ “But the storage of hydraulic de-! hbris is but one of the beneficial uses to which the Rollins site is adapted. The Rollins site\as projected by the~Bear River Water and Power Company is the controlling economic factor of the Bear River watershed. By building the Rollins. dam 20 feet higher than is. now propesed for the storage of water for power and for irrigation, more than 6,500,000 cubic yards: of hydraulic, dedtis could be stored in the Rollins Reservoir without reducing its present projected capacity, and withal, the Pacific Gas and Electric Company MALE HELP WANTED *GOOD PAY—STEADY -woRK— Several choice openings in Cities and Towns for ambitious men and women.

On this basis alone, without,.recovering the gold content in transit, the sluicing operations would be highly profitable. Millions of cubic yards of impounding space above!’ the Rollins site could thus be provided.” “Such procedure would be fivefold in:its beneficience and economy. Tt would provide the cheapest stouage possible for hydraulic debris; it would form a gravel settling reservoir above the head da for the Bear River canal; when thé Rollins dam ig built it would require a lower additional height thereto to create gravel storage space; it would permit the hydraulic mines to begin operations without delay; and in so doing the new hydraulic. debris would in part be .deposited ana spread upon the full length ofthe Bear River therein and in part sluiced therebeyond, all of which is highly desirable.’’ “The .proposed development ol the Rollins site conforms with the letter of the law.”’ It is financially sound.
