Opening of North Side Tract Lands in Twin Falls Era
The North Side Twin Falls company plans a September opening of 150000 acres in the west tract of Carey act segregation, expected between September 21 and October 1, one of the west’s largest land openings. Investigations into supplying Shoshone Falls power for Nevada gold mines suggest a transmission line will be built. Water was struck at 14 feet in a canal line six miles from the lake, with 80 feet of water in the well and a gasoline setup to be installed. A drilling outfit will move to the new Pittsburg town along the canal, though the town name may change to avoid duplication. Local figures note Idaho oil, sun, and water combined yield strong opportunities, urging readers to visit the North Side office, spread the word, and subscribe to the Journal.
