[SEAL] SEYMOUR CASE, 1 Claimant-Bergman & Alfree, by Joseph Hill, Lovelock, Nevada. REMARKS: This supplementary proof is made to correct error in former proof as to date of appropriation and beneficial use and irrigation of 100 acres in Sec. 34, Tp. 27 N, R. 31 E, given in former proof as 1876, while the correct date should be 1874, through the Ryan and Hazelton, Craig and Winslow, St. Clair and Tully ditches, afterwards consolidated into the R. R. Ditch. Ryan and Hazelton, Craig and Winslow ditches were constructed and water used through the same for the irrigation of Sec. 34 in 1874. The water rights and lands herein described were formerly the Estate of Joseph Marzen. The Railroad Ditch was built in November, 1874, and has been used ever since in connection with Southwest and Lovelock Slough for the irrigation of lands described above. Claimant-William M. Biggs, by C. V. Biggs, Lovelock, Nevada. REMARKS: 15 years ago. Claimant buys water from the Young Ditch Company at an annual fixed rate. Claimant-Mrs. E. A. Borland, Lovelock, Nevada. Borland Slough... 1895 1895 225.00 27 N 27 31 FROM PROOF: Water from said Borland Slough is waste and drainage water from the irrigation of the lands lying under and draining into said slough together with the water from the Old Channel and Last Chance ditches, direct flow from river which are turned into said slough and afterward reclaimed and diverted by claimant and used in conjunction with direct flow from river through claimant's ditches already referred to for the irrigation of said 225 acres. Claimant has installed electric power and pumping plant which he intends to use in connection with dams and ditches in and from said slough. (For additional claim, see page 8 of original compilation.) Claimant-John Christensen, by Chris Hanson, Lovelock, Nevada. 1880 80.00 28 EINW Harrison and Mayes, Southwest and 1877* 27 31 Last Chance or Irish-American Ditch. REMARKS: The NW1, Sec. 28, Tp. 27 N, R. 31, was first irrigated by water through the Mayes and Harrison Ditch in 1880, said ditch being constructed in 1877. In 1883 the Southwest Ditch was constructed, John Harrison the owner of said NW, Sec. 28, and past owner in the Mayes and Harrison Ditch, being one of the original appropriators of the Southwest Ditch, and said Southwest Ditch succeeding to all the rights of the Mayes and Harrison Ditch. From 1883 to October 7, 1910, said E of NW1, Sec. 28, was irrigated through the said Southwest Ditch. In October, 1910, Julius Christensen, the assignee for John Harrison for said E of NW1, Sec. 28, sold and disposed of his 1/16 interest in the Southwest Ditch, to John G. Taylor, the consideration being 25/12/64 interest in the Last Chance or Irish-American Ditch, and from said date, October 7, 1910, to the present time said E of NW1, Sec. 28, has been irrigated through Last Chance or Irish-American Ditch. Neither the Southwest and Last Chance ditches are incorporated, the interests in same being tenants in common. *Harrison and Mayes Ditch. Claimant-Julius Christensen, by John G. Taylor, Lovelock, Nevada. NOTE: This claim to water is by purchase from the S. R. Young Irrigation and Water Power Co's. Tunnel Ditch. FROM PROOF: The present irrigation system, known as the Rodgers Canal system, used for supplying water to the lands hereinbelow and by reference described, consists of the consolidation of a number of independent canals and ditches, the survey and construction of which were initiated in 1862 and the succeeding years. The lands watered and intended to be watered through said canals and ditches and the water rights appurtenant thereto were gradually brought into a single ownership by P. N. Marker, predecessor of claimant, during the period from 1875 to 1888, when a total area of approximately 10,480 acres was reached, which constitutes what is now known as the Rodgers Ranch, outlined in yellow on the map embodied herein and marked "A," and for which water rights are now claimed. As the lands formerly irrigated separately, and their appurtenant water rights were acquired and consolidated by Marker, the canals and ditches used in connection therewith were likewise merged into a single system for the double purpose of reducing operation costs and gaining a more economical use of water. Of the more important ditches so merged in the Rodgers Canal System, as shown by proof of water rights filed by P. N. Marker and H. C. Marker in the public records of Humboldt County in 1889, the following may be named with a brief statement of the essential related facts: (a) Blake Ditch Commenced in 1862, Completed and water turned in, 1863; Constructed and completed in 1863, Constructed and completed in 1863, (d) Kewley Ditch Constructed and completed in 1864, extended in 1869, 1,180 acres proposed to be irrigated; Capacity 45 cubic feet per second. (e) McCallum & Andrieux Company Ditch- 11,120 acres proposed to be irrigated; Constructed and completed in 1864, Constructed and completed in 1864, |
