Sunny San Juan to boom with new irrigation projects
The Durango Herald reports on the Ta plata Ditch and Reservoir company plans a 7 000 acre tract along the Laplata and Animas rivers for irrigation with reservoirs at Hub Colmex and Prewitt sites. Eastern investors led by Jon Prewitt target 50 000 acres under system and offer 10 acre lots for orchard development. New Mexico's Eden and Laplata ditch work proceeds with W G Black directing crews to irrigate 32 000 acres near San Juan and Farmington. The nationwide tone projects a regional boom boosting settlers, fruit lands, and state growth as Santa Fe considers this a path toward prosperity.
