THE MOORE DITCH IS
NEARLY COMPLETED
Arrivals from the Hastings creek
section report that the A. H Moore
company have finished their big ditch
as far as the point where the croek
cuts the second beach line. This new
eat addition to the water systems of
the district runs from near the head of
Eldorado river and picks up the water
of several creeks along the way down
to the coast. As the ditch covers a
wide area of ground said to contain
good values, its completion probably
means that a considerable area which
hag not been exploited heretofore ow
ing to the absence of adequate water
supply will be placed under operation
during the coming summer. The ditch
hns been under construction for quite
i number of years and the builder
I is sa*il to have faced and overcome
•nary difficulties in bringing the work
i .u completion. The majority of Nome
: people were hardly aware that a period
j t' this nature existed and those who
a1 >ari come to look upon It us some
catch penny trifle worthy of little
j onsideration. It appears, however.
| i hut this is In no sense the case as
| i he ditch Is well constructed from the
engineering point of view, carries a
I large volume of water and is In every
j way a valuable addition to the water
I systems of the district. Our Informant
j states that Joseph Pleln has been tis
; ing tho water in his Cunningham op.
