from Gatman Section Daily Miner. The water interests of the Tom consolidated, a trip of W. F. Gray, manager of the latter company, to Los Angeles, whence he returned yesterday. The terms of the deal as yet are Private, but since the Times has the longth of the water, relieving a shortage of the Tom Reed, it is pre sumed that the long end of the cash consideration of the deal favors the Times. For nearly a month past the Tom Reed has been using the Times water under a temporary arrangement. This is said to have been on gallon meter measurement,at a rate not far below the prevailing commercial rates for water. In the meantime the Tom Reed company has secured additional water from the new company organized by W. 8. Rowley and associates, and now ceepent its arrangement or a milion of its former arrange ment with the Times. The Times water comes from Grape vine canyon and was purchased at an outlay understood to be upward of $25,000, for the use of the Times town site and mine. There has been a much farther outlay for pumping and piping the water to the town and mine, which was completed only at the moment the Tom Reed well failed and all of the surplus was required to fill the needs of the Tom Reed mill and the people of Ostman. It is known that the deal means a great deal for the companies interest ed and is said to have further signifi cance that will develop later.
