Proof ot application to a b e n eficia l use o f 2 c . f . s . o f the waters o f Big Springs was made December 6, 1909. Our maximum consumption o f the waters o f Big Springs is only 22,000 gallons per month. Unless we are in a position to show that at sometime ^uringeach successive fiv e years subsequent to August 30, 1911, we applied to a b e n e ficia l use the fu ll volume o f 2 c . f . s . our righ t to _ the water from this spring in excess of 22,000 f a l^ ® mo th would be considered as having been abandoned and subject to appropriation* Ih ile there is a presumption that we have used a ll o f the water appropriated from time to time since August 30, 1911, and our continued use o f a portion thereof would negative any intention o f abandonment, s t i l l the fa ct JJ^ains ^ a t there 5al and 1 . a surplus at a ll tls.»hieh surplus In my Judgment haes s Seseinn ea. n"d Is ne,w, sub™je5ctt 5M?
