PART 11.--(WE~T OF ~ITSS1SSIPPI RlVER).~ 

IIUDSOX BAY DRAINAGE. 

RED lUYER OF THE NORTH. 

This river drains a largn water~hed in the United States, covering 

portions of Minnesota and "Korth and South Dakota, characterized by 

a level topography, broken up in plac·es by moraines r,nd other glaeial 

deposits. Tht~ major part is prairie, and its eastern half has an 

abundance ui lakes and some IVOfH1s. The main river flows nearly 

c1 ne north, cut,ting a deep channel in its broad level valley, and is 

subject to sudden rises eansed by heavy spring railJs, entailing freq nently considerable loss of life and property. Gaging stations were 

established during 1!101 by Charles .:H. Hall, profess0r of geology at 

tl11' X orth Dakota Agricultural CollPge, at several points along· the 

Hed River of the X orth and on Red Lake River, its principal tributary, for the purpose of foltndying the flmv of the river in connection 

IYith problems relating to storage of flood waters for use in furnishing 

power, water for irrigation and domestic supply. 'l'lw valley of Red 

River comprises about 0,00o,noo acres of excellent agricultural lauch; 

which to a large extent still await sett,Jement. A number of water 

powers have been developed <luring recent years on the trihntarit>s 

entering from both sides. 

RED RIVEH AT MOORHEAD, MINN. 

This station was <>Stablished hy C. l\1. Hall J\fay ~7, HJOl, and is 

lm·ated at t,he bridge com1edi11g· Front street, Farg'-), N. Dak., and 

.:\Jain street,, Moorhea<1, ::\linn. Tlw gage consists of a board 1 by 8 

ind1es, painted white, gra(l uate<l to feet and tenths in black, and 

attached to the east side of the breakwater for the center pier of the 

bridge. The zero of t,he gage is -1:.:1.±5 feet below the top of the plank 

walk of the bridge over the gage and is SGO. D feet above sea level, the 

elevation having been determined by leveling from top of rail of 

Northern Pacific stat,ion, JUoorhea<l, Minn. The danger line is at 2G.5 

feet,. Above the stat,ion the river en1Tes to the west. The 'vest bank

This station was established by C. ::\I. Hall l\Iay 19, 1901. It 

located at the nridge connecting Robert street and St. Paul stret 

which is known as the Sampson ad<lition bridge. The gage consists 

a weight attached to a '\YOYen steel-wire rope '\Yhieh plays over a pull( 

attached to trlw center of the single-span bridge. Readings are ma< 

on a board 1 by G inches, painted ·white, graduated to feet an1l tenth 

and attached to the east railing of the bridge. A similar gage boa 

naileLl to one of the sonth piers of the bridge is used for reading hjg 

wat<:>r stages. The zero of the gage is 8::?0.07 feet above sea level ar 

9.8 feet below the bench mark, which is marked by one 20-penny a1 

three 8-penny nails driven into the east end of the breakwater und 

the north end of the bridge.

RED RIVER AT EMERSON, MANITOBA. 

This station was established by C. lVI. Hall, July ~G, l!JOO, and is 

located at the Emerson railway and traffic bridge one-half mile north 

of the international boundary line at Emerson, :Manitoba. It eonsists 

of a board 1 by G inches, painted white, grooved, grp,dnated to feet 

and tenths, and attached to the east side of the breakwater for the 

center stone pier of the bridge. The zero of the gage is 46.5 feet 

below a steel beam of the bridge directly over t,lw gage, and its elevation is 7 -±7. 915 feet above sea leveL The bed and tJe banks of the 

stream consist of clay. Measurements are usually made from a rowboat. The observer for 1902 is Robert Ros~all, Emerwm. The readings here were not kept up in 1901 while the gage was maintained at 

Pembina station, but were resumed 'vhen the ice broke up in 1902, 

the Pembina station having been (liscontinned. 

The following measurements were made by C. M. Hall; the dis-

DEVILS LAKE AT DEVILS LAKE, N. DAK. 

This station was estahlislwd hy C. l\f. Hall, June 8, 1801, and 

located at the boat landing at the Chautauqua grounds, 4 miles sout 

'vest of Devils I~ake station, N. Dak. The object of maintaining 

gage record on DeYils Lake is to asePrtain the fluctuations in 

water level, whic·h, tluring past years, has been steadily falling, t 

drop in the last nineteen years amounting to as much as 10 or 

feet. The lctke has no regular outlets and its waters are salt. It 

hoped that a study of sueh n•cords w'illlead to important conclusio 

relating to evaporation from the lake snrface. rrhe gage consists 

a ~ by 8 inch plank, paint,e<l white, grooved, and graduated to ft 

and tenths, and attaelwd t,o tho middle of the north row of piles 

th(~ Chautauqua boat landing. 

A United States Geological Survey bench mark is placed on t. 

shore of the lake B rods ~west of the Chautauqua gat,e, which opens 

a boat landing. It corrtc't-ipouds to the height of tl'e lake in .June, 18~ 

which waR prescryecl by a hard wood post driven level with the wat 

by Capt. :E. E. Ileerman. The bench mark is 1,439.08 feet above s 

level. The zero of the gage is :?:.?.4J)4 feet below the benc.h mark. T 

observer is Capt. :E. :E. Heerman.

ST. lHARY RIVER AT MAIN, l\IONT. 

This station was established by C. C. Babb, July 14, HlOl, and 

located at the highway bridge at Main, about 1 mile below the mou 

of Swiftcurrent Creek. During lDOO a number of measurements we 

made at this point,, and a temporary bench mark was established, co 

sisting of a notch in the timber on the downstream side of the rig 

abutment. \Vhen the station was established the height of this not 

on the gage 'vas found to be 1. 60 feet. The rod is vertical and 

spiked to the timbers on the lower end of the left, abutment. Ben 

mark No. 1 is a nail in the blaze of a cottonwood tree 15 feet nort 

west of the rod, and is at an elevation of 4,418.49 feet. Bench ma

MADISON RIVER NEAR REDBLFFF, MONT. 

This station, which was established May ~' ISDI, is located J m 

below the Redbluff iron county bridge over the river and It m 

below the mouth of Cherry Creek. It is described in 'Vater-Sn_r: 

Paper No. JD, page ~63. Results of measurement,s for 1900 wil 

found in the Twenty-second Annual Report, Pa,rt IV, page 284: . 

.June 6, 1!101, a bench mark was established by .T. S. Baker on a h 

bo\vlder ~0 feet south of the gage rod and 8 feet east of t,he r_ 
UPPER MISSOURI DRAINAGE. lH 

bank. It iH marked with blaek paint, and ha~ au elevation of G.85G 

feet above t,lw datum of the gage. 

Cherry Creek flows int,o ::\Iaclison Hiver between the gage and the 

point where the river is measured, and its «lit-~eharge Rhould, therefore, be added to that of the river in order to obtain the total dis· 

charge at t,he gage. During 1!:!01 the following measurements of 

discharge of Madison Hi ver and Cherry Creek were macw under the

CRO'\V CREEK NEAR RADERSBURG, MONT. 

A _ga,ging station was established April 1:3, 1901, by J. S. Baker, on 

Crow Creek, a tributary of Missouri River, at a point about n miles 

above Radersburg and about one-fourth of a mile above the head of 

the Plac·er mine ditch. The equipment eonsiRts of a :~-ineh cable 

with ear, and a tag wire marked at 5-foot intervals. 'rhe gage is 

loeate•l about 50 feet ahove the cable, and consists of a sash weight 

attached to a -lz-inch wire cable passing over a pullE~y and along a 

graduated arm which carries gl'adnations from 0 to 8 feet. The iudex 

is a knot in the cable; the channel is straight; the bottom is of coarse 

gravel and has considerable fall. On 1\Iay 2£!, 1901, a bench mark 

wat-l established on a bowlder 16 feet north of the rear post which 

supports the gage. The elevation of the highest point of the bowlder 

is (i. 81 feet above the zero of the gage. The followiug measurements 

were made by J. S. Baker during 1901: 

April13: Gage height. 1.8.5 feet; discharge. 1i5 second-fee~. 

May 29: Gage height, 3.20 feet: discharge. 199 second-fee~. 

May 29: Gage height. 3.20 feet: discharge, 190 second-fee~.

PLATTE RIVER DRAINAGE. 

MEDICINE BOvV RIVER AT MEDICINE BOW, WYO. 

This stream rises in the Laramie J\'Ionntains in Carbon and Alba· 

counties, southwestern \Vyoming, and flows first in a southerly a· 

then in a westerly direetion, discharging into the North Platte. T 

river is of interest, as along nearly its entire course its waters are us 

for irrigation purposes. The station was establit':lhed }fay I, 1901, · 

A. J. Parshall, near :Medieine Bow, \Vyo., a station on the rni 

Pacific Railroad, and was abandoned with the close of the season 

IDOl, the purposes for which it had been establishe<1 having be 

accomplished. :Jleasurementf-l were made from the C'ounty hrid~ 

one-half mile north of ::Uedicine Bow station, and thP gagt' rod w 

at pump house, one-half mile east of railroa(l station. The uen 

mark was a nail driven in timber 5 feet south of rod on level, wi 

4.:25 foot-mark on rod. 

The river at the point vdwre the measurements were made is curvE 

the right uank is high and not, liable to overflow, while the left ba· 

is low and subj(:let to overflow. 

~rhe following <liseharge measurements were nade during IDOl 

A. J. Parshall:

NORTH PLATTE RIVER NEAR GUERNSEY, "\VYO. 

This station 1vas established by A. J. Parshall June 1±, HlOO, and 

is described in \Vater-Supply Paper No. J-H, page ~75. Results of 

measurements for 1900 1vill be found in the Twenty-second Annual 

Report, Part IV, page :312. 

During the years 1900 ancl H!01 the gage rO<l was located at the 

county bridge about one-half mile northwest of Guernsey. H was 

found t~hat considerable inconvenience 1vas caused by sand, whieh 

accumulated about the rod as the high water subsided aml whieh settled to about the zero mark. \Vith the opening of the season of 1902 

a new rod 1vas placed about 200 feet aboye the fir:st location. It \Vas 

fastened to one of the pit"rs of the railroad bridgP, and was placed 1 

foot lower in the 1vater. 

l\Ieatmrements are still madf• from the eounty bridge, which, while 

it does not furnish a perfec·t loeation for measurements, is the best 

yet found on the river in \Yyoming.

NORTH PLATTE RIVER AT MITCHELL, NEBR. 

This station was established by 0. V. P. Stout on June 3, 1901. 

n·places the station at Gering, Nebr., which was discontinued, as tl 

narrower channel at J\Htchell seemed favorable to inereaRP<l acenra< 

of gagiugs, and, being nearc>r the \Yyuming line, it serves better ~

ST. VRAIN CREEK NEAR LYONS, COLO. 

The station at Lyons is about a half mile southeast of the town, a· 

is below the junction of the north and south forks. It is described 

'Vater-Supply PaperNo. 4U, page 288. Records of the flow of the ere 

at or near Lyons have been kept since April, 18t'8, except during t 

years 189i3 and 1894, but the station was not put in its present cor 

tion until May 5, 1899, since which date records have been kf 

throughout each irrigation season. Results of measurements for lf 

are published in the Twenty-second Annual Report, Part IV, pa 

325. Supply ditch diverts water above the station, and its clischar 

should be added to that of the creek in order to obtain the total rr 

off of the basin. The observer during the year 1901 was L. H. Die 

son, commiasioner of the St. Vrain water district, who kept up t 

readings during the irrigation season. 'Veekly records of the rl 

charge at this point have been furnished t,o the Longmont pape 

One measurement was made during 1901 by J. E. Field, .May 2, wh 

the discharge was 278 second-feet for a gage height of 3. 20 feet.

SOUTH PLATTE RIVER AT KERSEY, COLO. 

This station waR est,ablishell April ~7, IDOl, at Kersey, a station on 

the Union Pacifw Hail road, about, G miles east of Greeley, at a bridge 

It miles north of the railroad station itself. This station was intended 

to take the phwe of the one prPviously maintained at Orehard, Colo. 

This point was :-;elected on aeeount of the regularity of the channel 

and the faet Utat there was a wagon bri<..1ge crossing the river from 

which gagings could be made in high "\Yater. It is of particular value 

owing t,o the fact that, the point is juRt helow all the important tributaries of the South Platte, which derive their supply from the mountain region. It is also at about, the point ·where water could be used 

to the best advantage for storage in reservoirs along South Platte 

River in northeastern Colorado. ~rhe observer is Edward K. Plumb, 

"\Yho lives near the bridge and visits Uw rod once each day. The gage 

rod consists of a vertiC'al :."? by G inch timber, 8 feet long, marked in 

feet and tenths and spikel1 to the downstream side of the third pile of 

the bridge from its souU1 encl. rrhe initial point for soundings is the 

right bank, downstream side, the bridge being marked every 10 feet. 

'l~he rigl1t bank is high and not liable to overfimv, but the left is low 

and water spreads over a considerable distance at high ~tages.

This station, which was established June ~0, 1890, is located about 

1 mile west of Superior. Discharge measurements are made from the 

highway bridge, thus determining the total amount of water passing 

over the dam and through the mill raee. r.rhe discharge of the mill 

race is measured also, and is deducted from the-total discharge, in 

order to determine the amount passing over t.he dam. r.rhe station 

is described in vVater-Supply Paper No. 50, page 31~. Results of 

measurements for 1900 will be found in t.he Twenty-second Annual

The old station at the wagon bridge near :~r epesta, def!eribed 

previous \Vater-Supply Papers, was not maintained during the'" 

1!J01. Upon May 1, however, another station was established 

A. L. Fellows, assisted by C. \Y. Beach, at the dam and head gat 

the Oxford farmers' canal, 1! miles west of ]\T epesta. The sta4 

consists of the dam crossing the river at the headgate forming a w 

and a gage rod, consisting of a 2 by 6 inch timber, 8 feet long, faste 

to an oak pile at the south end of the dam; the location being mar 

by spikes driven into the pile at each foot mark. The rod is mar 

in feet and tenths vertically. At low stages the stream may

measured by wading, but at high stages it is necessary to use the 

wagon bridge at N epesta, making the necessary allowances for infipw 

between the two pmnts; this can readily be done, as the distance is 

only about a mile. The observer is Mr. Z. Swallow, head-g_ate keeper 

of the Oxford farmers' canal. The station will prove of particular 

1 value, as it is near the head of irrigation district No. 17, one of the 

most import,ant on the Arkansas River. Results of measurements for 

1900 for the old station will be found in the Twenty-second Annual 

Report, Part IV, page 343. 

During 1901 measurements were made by A. L. Fellows_, J. E. Field, 

and C. \V. Beach, as follows: 

May 1: Gage height, 0.97 foot: discharge. 672 second-feet. 

May 17: Gage height, 1.24 feet; discharge, 1,719 second-feet.

ARKANSAS RIVER NEAR ROCKYFORD, COLO. 

A new station was established by R. '\V. Hawley on April 19, 1901, 

at a point 3t miles northwest from Rockyford station on the Atchison, 

Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. A steel cable was stretched across 

the river and supplied with a car, and an inclined t,imber gage rod 

was bolted into the shale on the north side of the river aJnd marked. 

The bench mark consists of a cut in a tree at the initial point level 

with a 10-foot mark on the rod. The records were kept up throughout the remainder of the year 1901 through the courtesy of the American Beet Sugar Company, Fred Chappell, agriculturist, taking the 

reading. The channel is fairly favorable for good results, being at 

what is known as the old ford. The bottom is of shale and usually 

free from sand, although filled in to a certain extent at most stages. 

Gagings may be made eiN1er by means of the cable and car or by 

!wading. 'I'he point is of especial importance, owing to the fact that 

it is one of thr, few places on the Arkansas River where the channel 

is at all permanent.

Records of gage heights wpre commenced at this station in the spring 

of 1900. A description of the station is giYen in \Yater-f·1pply Paper 

No. 50, page 328. The station is of special importance, as it is practieally at the head of inigation <listrict No. Iii, only the Colorado and 

Kansas <·anal and the Peterson ditch being taken out above in that 

district. During the greater part of the year little water passes this 

point, and during lmv stages water is so valuable t~lutt the greatest 

care should be exercised in its distribution. The observer is D. L. 

Birge, head-gate keeper of the Colorado and Kansas canal. During

ARKANSAS RIVER NEAR BARTON, COLO. 

This station was established May 2, 1901, at the raih·oad bridge c. 

half mile east of Barton or Byron, which is the name of the railr 

station on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. Throu 

out this region the bed of the stream is broad and sandy, the char.. 
ARKANSAS RIVER DRAINAGE. 55 

being shifting. This point was selected as the most available place 

for determining approximately the discharge of the Arkansas at a 

point near the Colorado-Kansas line. The rod consist~ of a verLical 

2 by 4: inch piece of timber 7 feet long, nailed to a pile on the downstream side of the railroad bridge at the last point in the channel. 

No bench mark was established, but the rod was spiked at the foot 

marks to the pile. The channel is extremely shifting, and there may 

be at times many different channels. The initial point for soundings 

is the right bank. The observer is Harry Hunt, postmaster at Barton. Only two gagings were made in 1901, and at the first of these, 

when the station was established, no water was passing. The second 

measurement, made J nne 10 by J. E. Field, yielded a discharge of 

1, 911 second-feet at a gage height of 1. GO feet. 

Daily gage height, in feet, of Arkansas River near Barton, Co?o., for 1901.

WESTERN GULF DRAINAGE. 

)Vhile the year 1 !JOO was an exeedingly wet one throughout Texas, 

year 1901 was as dry as usually falls to the lot of that State. Dur 

the early part of 1901 the rivers showed in their flow a relatively la 

rnu-off derived from the high precipitation of the preceding ye 

but before the summer had waned evaporation and lack of rain J 

reduced the flow of all t,he streams of the State considerably and in 

fall :-;ome reached the lowest known stages on re'3ord. Following i 

description of a number of rivers in Texas visited during DecE 

ber, 1001, by Prof. T. U. Taylor, of the University of Texas at Aust 

Tex. :Measurements were made by him also of San Felipe Sprin 

near the tmvn of Del H1o, the flow on December 16 being 150 seco· 

feet; of Barton Springs, at Austin, the flow December 2~ bein{~ 

second-feet; and of the Hot )Vells at San Antonio, the flow on DecE 

ber 31 being 41 second-feet. A description of these springs will 

found in Water-Supply Paper No. 50.

BOSQUE RIVER, TEXAS. 

Bosque River rises in Erath County and after tnwersing Bosque 

County flows into Brazos River 4 miles west of "\Vaeo. It is a stream 

of high uanks, and has a perennial flow, which, however, at low stages 

is not sufficient for irrigation or for continuous power purposes. The 

water is clear and the bed rocky and gravelly at the section used for 

measurement. The flow was measured on December 26, 1901, at the 

iron bridge 5 miles west of Waco and gave a discharge of 3 secondfeet. There is a power plant on this river at Clifton, Bosque County.

SULPHUR FORK OF LAMPASAS RIVER1 TEXAS. 

This fork rises in the town of Lampasas, in the Hancock ar 

Hanna springs, fully described in \Vater-Supply Paper No. 50, pa~ 

335. The flow was measured in December, 1900, ~Lncl gave. a dischar~ 

of 10 second-feet. The flow was again measured on Deeember 19, 190 

by Thomas U. Taylor, and gave a discharge of 11 second-feet. Tl 

Sulphur Fork flows into the main I.ampasas near the town of Kern 

ner, and at low stages carrie:.o; more wat,er than the main branch. Tl 

I~ampasas, the Solado, and the Leon unite southeast, of Belton at 

point known as Three Rivers, to form Little River. 

SOLADO RIVER, TEXAS. 

The Solado River has Us source in the famous Solaclo Springs, . 

the town of Solado, 9 miles south of Belton. These are similar : 

source, behavior, and character of water to those of San Marcos, Sf 

Antonio, Del Rio, etc. Formerly two dams existed across the So lad 

one in the town and the other some distance h~low. The flow w 

measured on December 19, 1901, by Thomas U. Taylor, and a eli 

charge of 13 second-feet 1vas found. The stream below the town 

often rather deep, and resemlJles in all its characteristics the Sf 

Marcos. The bed is rocky, and the reliable flow would make t] 

stream available for power purposes. 

Two flour mills and 2 cotton gins are at present in active operati< 

on the Solado. Summer's mill, 2 miles above the mouth, derives i 

power by means of a 10-foot stone dam. Six miles above this mill 

loeatecl Stinnett's flour mill, where a head of 18 feet is obtained wi 

a race 1 mile long and a dam 3 feet high. Between these two plan 

are located the cotton gins referred to. 

LEON RIVER, TEXAS. 

The Leon was described fully in Water-Supply Paper No. 50, p?· 

334. It unites with the Nolan in the· suburbs of Belton. The ye 

1901 was conspicuous for low water in the Leon, the flow being snf 

cient to run the power plant 1 mile east of Belton only. On Decer 

ber 20, 1901, the water in the lake above the dam was about 1 fo 

below the crest, but water was leaking through the dam and mill rae 

The flow was found to be only 6 second-feet. T'"e Nolan River w 

measured just west of town and a discharge of only 1 second-fo 

was found. 

LITTLE RIVER, TEXAS. 

The Little River is formed by the Leon, Lampa,sas, and Solado. 

has high banks, and for most of its course is deep and clear and flm 

slowly. The valleys on each side are among the richest in Texa 

The land rises very gradually from the banks, and the floods to whic 

this stream is subject spread out over the bottom lands and at ma1 

places cover a width of 2 miles. The liability of the river to overflc 
WESTERN GULF DRAINAGE. 61 

the bottom lands on each Hide has rendered Hs use for power purposes 

rather discouraging, as damage suits would inevitably follow an overflow. The flow was measured by Thomas U. 1.,aylor, at McCowan's 

ford,~ miles south of Camerou, on December 20, 1901, and gave a diseharge of 5D seeoncl-feet. The stream at this plaee was ~9 feet wide, 

with an average depth of J-! inches and a mean velocity of 1. 72 feet 

per second. This measurement can be regarded as the lowest minimum at this seetion, as no rains had fallen on its watershed for several 

months, the season of 1!101 having been an espeeially dry one in Texas. 

CONCHO RIVER, TEXAS. 

Concho Hiver discharges into the Colorado in the southwest corner 

of Coleman County. The main Concho, from its junetion with the 

Colorado to the point where it is formed by the North and Middle 

Conehos, 1 fmiles east of San Angelo, is about 45 miles long in an air line. 

Above San Angelo the waters of the Conehos are utilized for irrigation in Sterling, Irion, and Tom G-reen count.ies. The North Concho 

traverses the counties of Andrews, :Martin, Glasscock, Sterling, and 

Tom Green, and is subject to grPat freshets, that have flooded the 

streets of San Angelo. Jt, has a reliable low-water flow, and at present furnishes water for t.lHee irrigation syst.ems, two in Sterling County 

and one in Tom Green County. Another irrigation plant a few miles 

above San Angelo derived its water from the North Concho, but a 

flood swept away the clam, and it has never been r,'Clbuilt. The flow 

of the North Concho ~was measured by Thomas U. Taylor, December 

17, IDOl, at a point halfway between the higlnvay bridge at San Angelo 

and the ford above. At this point the river has a very rough, hregular bottom, composed of a conglomerate rock. At low stage the 

stream is divided into many irregular channels. At the point of 

measurement the water was passing through a small and smooth pass 

only 7 feet wide and 9f inches deep. The average velocity was found 

to be 1 i feet per second, giving a flow of Dt second-feet. This ""as t.he 

lowest stage of the river, as there had been no effective rain for several 

months. 'rhe )liddle Concho flows through west Tom Green, Irion, 

and east Tom Green counties. Its length is about half that of the north 

fork, but its low flow near San Angelo is about seven times greater. 

Affluent streams of importance are Spring Creek and the South Concho. These together supply water for ten irrigation systems. Three 

of these are at Shenvood, on Spring Creek; three near Kniekerbocker, 

on Dove Creek, a tributary of Spring Creek; three near Christoval, on 

the South Concho, and one 4 miles south of San Angelo, below the 

junction of the South and J\ilicldle forks. The south branches are 

unfailing in their water supply, and there is suffieient water to double 

the area under irrigation. The stream is a succes"ion of beautiful 

lakes or pools, connected by shoals, where the water flows over the 

rough segregated stone bottom. The river was measured by l\lr. 

Taylor on December 17, 1901, just belo\v the ford, 4 miles south of 
62 OPERATIONS AT RIVER STATIONS, 1901.-P.ART II. [No.66. 

San Angelo, and gave a discharge of 69 second-feet. This section 

waR near the Cunningham dam, whieh supplies thE, irrigation system 

of t,hat name. 

MILL CREEK, TEXAS. 

This small stream has Hs source in large springs in the suburbs of 

the town of San Saba. A stone clam has been constructed across the 

stream near its head and the backwater spreads over the supplying 

springs. The dam is a substantial stone structure repaired late in 

1901. It supplies power to operate a mill, and pressure for the town 

water supply, and serves to raise the water into tl'e irrigation ditch 

t,hat leads to the lan<l of :Mr. Kirkpat,rick. The flow wa1-1 measured by 

'"rhomas U. '"raylor on December 18, 1901, a short distanee below the 

dam while water was flowing freely over the waste weir. The discharge was found to be 10 second-feet. 

LLANO RIVER, TEXAS. 

'"rlw Llano River rises in Sutton County, within a few miles of the 

headwaters of Devils River. It traverses Sutton, Kimble, and Mason 

counties and enters Colorado River at Kingsland, in the eastern part 

of Llano County. In its upper part, notably in Kimble County, it is 

a very effective irrigation stream as there are no less than 30 independent systems that draw their waters from it and its tributaries. 

Below Kimble County no attempt has been made to utilize the water 

for irrigation purposes, but three power plants are located upon it, 

near the town of Llano. J. K. Finlay owns two plants 2 and 8 miles 

above Llano, while at the town there is a small but very effective plant 

that operates the pumps of the city waterworks and the electric-light 

plant. The Llano was measured by Thomas U. •raylor in J\'Iarch, 

1899, and gave a discharge of 76 second-feet. It was again measured 

on November 9, 1901, and gave a discharge of 105 second-feet. The 

river was said to be at its lm:vest, stages during both measurements. 

Assuming the lowest measurement (7G second-feet), the present dam 

with its fall of 9 feet can develop 57 horsepower continuously, or 160 

horsepower if used only sixty hours during the week and its flow 

conserved the rest of the time. 

GUADALUPE RIVER, TEXAS. 

The Guadalupe with its tributaries furnishes power for no less than 

17 plants. Two of these at·e above New Braunfels, in Kerr County, 

two on the Comal River, three at Luling, eight on r!ln :Marcos River, 

and two below the mouth of the San Marcos. The flow of the Comal 

was fully treated in \Yater-Supply PaperNo. 50. The Guadalupe was 

measured in :March, 1£101, on the crest of the dam of the Berchel Power 

Company, 3 miles north of Cuero, and the clischarg"' was found to be 

551 seeond-feet. The crest of the dam is fiat, 6 feet broad and 140 

feet long between bulkheads. The water was 1.12 feet deep qn the 
WESTERN GULF DRAINAGE. 63 

crest and had an average velocity of 3.42 feet per second. The measurement was made by wading on the crest. There had been no rain 

on the watershed of the river for months and it was down to a low 

stage, as reported by the engineer of the power plant. 

CARRIZO SPRINGS, TEXAS. 

Carrizo Springs Creek flows through the village of C~wrizo Springs 

one-fourth mile east of the court-house. It rises 5 mileH southwest 

of the court-house, flows eastwardly, and empties into Nueces River 

at a point about 1 mile above the Carrizo Springs and Cotulla road 

crossing, or about 3 miles above Taylor's dam. The creek does not 

flow from one large spring, but is the accumulated flow of a number 

of small springK scattered along its length. A measurement made by 

E. C. II. Bantel, on December 30, Hl01, at low water, showed the flow 

to be 1.32 second-feet. 

An abundant supply of water may be obtained any--vhere in this 

section by digging or drilling wells. In the former the water is found 

at from 10 to 15 feet below the surface. Drilled wells 90 feet deep 

give a small but steady flow, and as the depth increases the flow 

becomes greater. There are seven or eight artesian wells scattered in 

the section north of the town. One of these, known as Campbell's 

well, has a 5-inch pipe sunk 350 feet, and flows about 50 gallons per 

minutP. The water is used to irrigate several acres of land on which 

garden truck is raised. The owner of the well has installed a 15-

horsepower gasoline engine and a 5-inch centrifugal pump to augment hil-l supply of water and has constructed two earthen tanks or 

reservoirs having a total area of about 2 acres and a depth of 8 feet. 

Another artesian well, known as the Paterson well, has recently 

been completed at a point about 5 miles southeast of the courthouse. This well has a 5~-inch pipe, is 590 feet deep, and flows about 

200 gallons per minute. Its flow for the three months October, 

November, and December, 1901, was constant. 

About, one-half mile south of the court-house is the dug well from 

which the Carrizo mineral water is obtained. The well is said to be 

uO feet deep; the water rises to a point 25 feet from the surface, and 

is pumped out by an ordinary hand pump. The analysis of this mineral water is as follows:

COLORADO RIVER AT AUSTIN, TEX. 

Since the destruction of the dam, measurements have been r 

at the station about a fourth of a mile above the highway bridr. 

Congress avenue. The station is described in Water-Supply P 

No. 50, page i33G. A full discussion of the flow of the river and 

failure of the masonry dam on April 7, 1900, will be found in W 

Supply Paper No. 40. During the year IDOl the Colorado River

by the other Texas streams during the fall of 1901. It reache 

lowest stage in .July. The section between the bridge and the I· 

national and Great Northern Railroad bridge below was mater 

changed during the fall by the scouring out of its central portion

YAMPA RIVER, COLORADO. 

Yampa River riHes in the eastern part of Routt County, Colo., and 

flows in a general westerly direction through the entire county, and 

empties into Green River near the western boundary. The stream is 
90 OPERATIONS AT RIVER STATIONS, 1901.-PART II. [N 

somewhat peculiar in its character, the upper branches having· 

siderable fall and the water therefore flowing rapidly over shoal 

gravel and rock and being thus easily taken out for utilization. 

condition of affairs prevails as far down the stream as Hayden, whe 

broad and fertile valley is irrigated, the princ.ipal crops raised l)( 

hay for stock. From Hayden \Yesterly the course of the str~ 

changes. It flows for long distances, sometimes ~0 miles or more, ' 

but little fall, and then it breaks through some ridge of rock and 

fall is great for comparatively short distances. For this reason 

taking of water from t~he stream below Hayden is involved in gre: 

difficulty than above and the ditches are therefore larger. Sev 

large canals are, however, being constructed, among which the n 

important are those of Craig, :Maybelle, and Lily Park. Below ~ 

Park the stream flows through a deep and rugged canyon, when 

irrigation can be practiced, but above that point the amount of l 

that can and will eventually be irrigated is limited only by the anw 

of water available. Up to the present time but little impression 

been made upon the early summer supply. The principal branc 

of the Yampa River are Elk River, heading in the vicinity of Ha 

Peak; Elk Head Creek, vVilliams River, and Little Snake RiMore or less irrigation is practiced upon all of these branches, 

practically all of t,he waters of Fortification Creek and Elk H 

Creek are used for irrigation. A large amount is, however, 

available in the other branches and the project of taking a large E 

ply of water from Elk River by means of a canal to the divide bet~ 

Little Snake River a11d Yampa River has been contemplated. A 

Basin contains a considerable quantity of fertile land, which i 

thought may perhaps be irrigated from the North Fork of \VRiver. There are possibilities of developing power in the neigh1 

hood of Steamboat Springs, which are being considered at the pref 

time. 

YAMPA RIVER AT CRAIG, COLO. 

This station was established by A. I..~. Fellows May 25, 1901, at 

wagon bridge about 1 mile sout~west from Craig, Colo., this JY 

being selected as the most suitable station on Yampa River. 

gage consists of a vertical 2 by 4 inch timber fastened to the so 

abutment of the bridge on the downstream side, the rod being mar 

in feet and tenths vertically. The wagon bridge is marked ever~ 

feet. The channel is deep at this point and at low stages the< 

rent is sluggish, but measurements give good results, as the char 

changes but little. The observer is JHr. H. Jones, of Craig, who vi 

the rod daily. Observations were kept up from ]}'Iay 25 to Noven:._ 

3, inclusive. The following measurements were made by A. L. ~ 

lows during 1901: 

May 25: Gage height, 7.10 feet; discharge. 6,890 Ei'>,COnd-feet. 

·November 3: Gage height, 2.20 feet: discharge, 180 second-feet.

The principal branches of \Vhite River rise in the White River 

Plateau, a ·well-forested tract in the \Vhite River Forest Reserve. A. 

number of lakes, among which are Oyster Lake, ::1\-Iarvine Lake, Trappers Lake, and Deep Lake furnish important reservoir sites, if such 

are ever needed. 'rhe need for these as yet, however, has not arisen. 

The stream flow:-; in a generally ·westerly direetion, particularly in Rio 

Blanco County, and cliseharges into Green River in Utah. A.reas 

of considerable extent are irrigated, particularly in the vicinity of 

Meeker, and at points above ::\Ieeker. Other possibilities for extended 

irrigation exist both in the vicinity of :Meeker and upon the mesas 

adjoining the stream; particularly along Hs lower courses. It is also 

thought possible that a considerable amount of ·water may be taken 

from the North Fork of \Vhite River for the irrigation of Axial Basin 

in Rout,t County. If the demand should ari:-;e, power may be developed probably to any extent desired upon the upper branches of the 

stream. The principal town of the \-Vhite River Valley is :Meeker. 

The crops raised are principally grain and hay, as the prineipal 

industry is stock raising. 

WHITE RIVER AT MEEKER, COLO. 

This station was established by A.. I.~. Fellows, May 2±, 1901, at a 

point about one-fourth of a mile above the town of Meeker, there 
92 OPERATIONS AT RIVER STATIONS, 1901.-PART II. 

being at this point a wagon bridge crossing the stream upon the r:: 

of L. F. Van Cleave, favorably situated for the purpose. The r. 

rod consists of a vertical 2 by 4: inch timber nailed to the left abutn 

of the bridge on the downstream side. The bridge is marked w 

5 feet. The initial point for soundings is at the rod, at the le 

south end of the bridge. The banks are sufficiently high so as nc 

be liable to overflow; the channel is of rock and gravel, and se 

permanent in its nature. .Measurements are majde from the lower 

of the wagon bridge. The observer is L. F. Van Cleave, who v 

the rod twiee each day. Only t'vo gagings were made in 1901, 1 

by A. L. Fellows, as follows: 

May 24: Gage height, 5.60 feet; discharge, 2.605 Eecond-feet.

GUNNISON RIVER AT ~WHITEWATER, COLO. 

This station was established by A. I~. Fellows J\'Iay 21, 1901, at 

new ~wagon bridge constructed by the State of Colorado at a poi' 

about half a mile above the railroail station at \Yhitmvater, on tl 

Denver and Rio Grande Railroad. It is intended that this static 

should take the plaee of the mw formerly maintained on the Gunnisc 

at Grand .Junction. The latter station was abandoned on account 

inaccuraeies that eould not be overeome. The latter weremainlydt 

to the fact that high stages of water in the Grand River affected tl 

gage rod in the Gunnison, and t.hat the stream becJ was part-ially fill.: 

with great bowlders, making accurate gagings impossible. Recor( 

were kept for the period from :May HJ to July 6, inclusive, by 1\'Ir. Jan" 

Page, station agent of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad at \-Vhit 

water. Only one gaging was made, however, that of J\Iay 21, by A. ] 

FellowR. The reeord book was destroyed by fire, which burned tl 

station house July 10, and the maintenance of the station was n~ 

resumed. During the period covered the gage rod used was one s• 

up near the railroad station by the railroad company, no gage beir 

placed at the bridge. The records, therefore, simply show relatb 

heights of the river, without furnishing informr~tion concerning tl 

actual discharge except at the unusually high stage measured on M~ 

21, when the flow was 20,176 second-feet for a gage heigh of 7.20 fee

Southern Railroad station at Dolores. It is describ<;d in \VaterSupply Paper No. 50, page ::380. The results of measurements for 

HIOO will he found in the T'venty-second Annual Report, Part IV, 

page :Jfll. During 1901 one measurement was made by A. L. Fellows, 

on Aprill5, the discharge being 558 second-feet for a gage height of 

3.60 feet. The gage was verified by him on that date.

LOS PINOS RIVER AT IGNACIO, COLO. 

The station was established April 22, J 8Q9, at the request of the· 

Commissioner of Indian Affairs, for the purpose of ascertaining the 

quantity of ·water available for irrigation along the stream. r.rhe 
96 OPERATIONS AT RIVER STATIONS, 1901.-PART II. [No. 

station is an important one, as all of the water.;; of the stream w 

undoubtedly be used for irrigation before manr years. On April 

an iron bench-mark post was set 30 feet north~rest from the nort 

west corner of the bridge, its top being 7.64 feet above the zero oft 

gage. The observer is Mr. John 1Vesch, the clerk at the agency. 

description of the st,ation was published in Water-Supply Paper~

FLORIDA RIVER NEAR DURANGO, COLO. 

This station, as described in \Vater-Supply Paper No. 38, page 3: 

was maintained from April I to June 30, 1901. The observer is M· 

Annie Stewart, who }jves near by. The Stewart r:mch is located abc 

6t miles east of Durango and is reached by driving. The gage r 

consists of a vertical 4-inch strip 7t feet long, marked vertically 

feet. and tenths and spiked to the east abutment of the bridge. T 

bench mark was established April 15, 1901, and consists of a spi 

in an 8-inch cottonwood stump, 50 feet south fron and 5.86 feet abo 

the zero of the rod. Gagings are made at the wagon bridge, exce~ 

ing at low water, when they may be made by wading. Informati 

derived at this point is of importance, as it is desired that the exct 

water of this stream shall be made available by means of storage rE 

ervoirs in the upper part of this drainage basin. Much valuable la 

can be irrigated if this water is properly conserved. 

During 1901 one measurement was made by A. L. Fellows, on Ap 

16, when the flow was found to be 53 second-feet, the gage heig 

being 1.48 feet.

EAST FORK OF CARSON RIVER NEAR GARDNERVILLE, NEV. 

This station was established by L. H. Taylor on October 17, -

at the place where measurements were made in the years 1890, ~ 

and 1892, the results of whieh are given in the Thirteenth An 

Report, Part III, page 85. It is deseribed iu \Vater-Supply P 

No. 51, page 399. On August~ a loose rock rlam was raised a E 

distance below the gaging statimt, which affected the velocity a· 

latter point. The dam was partly washed out by a freshet on De 

ber 4, 1001. A new gage was established on Jfarch 10, 1901, a E 

distance downstream from the original one, which had been destrc 

It consists of a vertical timber driven into the stream bed at the~ 

bank and spiked to a cottonwood tree. A bench mark was also eE 

lished on a large granite bowlder ~0 feet south of the gage uncle~ 

cable from which the measurements are made. Its elevation is 

feet above the datum of the gage. During 1911 the following h 

urements were made by F. H. Newell, L. H. T.",ylor, and others:

CARSON RIVER NEAR EMPIRE, rEV. 

The station, established October ':H, lHOU, by L. H. Taylor, is ab( 

2 miles below the town of Empire and about three-fourths of a m 

below the point when-~ measnreiiwnts were made by J\Ir. ~ray lor in 18 

the results of whieh are published in Bulletin Yo. 1±0 of the Unit 

States Geological Survey. The station is described in \Vater-Sup~ 

Paper No. 51, page ±01. On February 18, 1!101, erosion of a bar in t 

channel above the gage eaused a division of the stream bed into t 

channeb. On .:\larch liJ, HIOl, a permanent gage was placed fartl 

downstream where the banks are more stable. The gage consists o 

wooden rod driven vertically into the stream bed and spiked to a c 

tonwood tree on the left bank. The bench mark is on the top c 

large bowlder 10 feet north of the gage, its elevation being 8. 38 f 

above the datum of gage. During 1901 the following measurenH'' 

of discharge were made by C. Y. and I •. H. Taylor and A. H. Schadl

BEAR RIVER AT BATTLECREEK, IDAHO. 

This station, established October 11, 18tH), is about 10 miles nort,h of 

the Utah-Idaho boundary line, and is desc-ribed in 'Vat8r-Supply Paper 

No. 51, page 40!1. The station is of e<msitlerable importance from the 

fact that its location is near the Utah-Idaho line, and the measurements there will indicate the volume of \Vater that passeR from Idaho 

into Ctah. Dudng 1901 a large canal was completed, appropriating 

the waters of the Bear about, 8 miles below Soda Springs in sufficient 

quantity to irrigate about 35,000 acres of very fine land in that locality. 

Results of measurements for 1!100 will be found in the rrwenty-seeond 

Annual Report, Part IV, page 407. During HlOl the following measurements were made by G-. I ... ~wendsen:

CUB RIVER AT FRANKLIN, IDAHO. 

This gaging station, established July ~3, l!JOO, is a short clistan 

above the head gates of the Le·wiston eanal, and iE described in "\VatE 

Supply Paper No .. 51, page -no. Results of measurements for 19 

are pnblishe(l in the '.rwenty-second Annual Report, Part IV, page4C 

The station was discontinued during the early pnrt of IDOL A mm 

urement was made by G. L. Swendsen January ~1, HlOl, when t 

discharge was 4:7 second-feet and the gage height 1.5U feet. 

LOGAN RIVER NEAR LOGAN, UTAH. 

This station, established .June 1, 18D6, is in the river canyon abo 

2 miles east of Logan and is described in "\Vater-~'upply Paper No. [ 

page ±11. During the low-water season the entire supply of the riy 

is used for irrigation. vVithin the last tvw years it has become ve 

prominent as a source of water power, and a large electrie plant util 

ing the entire low-water supply under a head of ~20 feet furnish 

power to Salt Lake City and a number of the large mining cam 

of the State. It is operated on the same circuit and in conjuneti 

with a similar plant on the Provo River. 

A study of the results on the J...~ogan River for a period of four 

five years shows a remarkable deerease in the low-water dischar 

and a change in the occurrence of maximum flow from late in June 

the middle of .May. The entire watershed is a public range, and -

the unrestricted grazing of thousands of sheep has been stripped 

nearly all its vegetation, destroying many of nature's provisio 

for water prm;ervation. "\Vith present conditions continued gre 

injury to irrigration interests is sure to result. 

Results of measurements for 1000 will be found in the ,..rwent

This station, est~ablished July 1, 1889, is about ± miles above 

railroad station at Collinston, 2 miles ea::-;t of the town of Fieldi

Ut.ah, and below the headworks of the Bear River canal. It 

described in "\Vater-Supply Paper No. 51, page ±lH. A canal, n 

nearly complei.ed, will divert water a eonsiderable distance above 

Battlecreek station to irrigatf\ a large tract of land on the west s 

of Cache Valley. Its operations will greatly modify the discharge 

the Collinst.on station during the next season. During the last y 

the discharge at this station reached the lowest stage on record, l 

than one-half the minimum for the preceding year. "\York is J' 

gressing very rapidly on the em.;t branch of the Bear River canal, r 

its appropriation 'vill entirely exhaust the low-water supply of 

Bear at this point. Results of measurements for 1fl00 will be for 

in the Twenty-seeond Annual Report, Part IY, page -!10. Dur·

brought into considerable prominence during the past year on acc

of the effort to settle Lhe complicated question of water rights am

1, 1901. 'rlw stream furnishes water for the irrigation of some of the 

best lands of Utah County, and during- the past season of general low 

water has proved an exception to the general rule, maintaining a 

fairly uniform discharg-e during the entire summer. This eondition 

is probably dne to the faet that the drainage area ir not a public 

range. A measurement was made by G. L. Swendsen August 12, 1 fJOl, 

the discharge of that date being 95 second-feet and the gage height 

2.09 feet.

TIETON RIVER, W ASHINGTO:r-T. 

This stream is the principal tl'ibntary of the Naches River and / 

charges into the latter about 17 miles above its junction with 

Yakima River, near North Yakima. 

Its source is in the Casc.ade :Mountains in the vicinity of Cowlitz Pr 

A peculiar fE'atnre of the stream is the turbid, milk-white appeara· 

of the water, it being similar in this respect to 'Vhite River, on 

western slope of the Cascade Range. The water of the South F 

of the Tiet,on, 25 miles above the mouth, is, however, perfectly clE 

The forks head in the glaciers of a peak of the G:tscades knownloc::-

as Goat Rock. 

The capacity of the Tieton is considerable, being probably eqna 

about two-thirds that of the Upper Naches, averaging during they 

1,000 cubic feet per second. No measurements of the discharge b: 

as yet been made, owing to the natural obstacles met with. The ab 

estimate shows the great value of the Tieton for irrigation purpm 

Its waters are, however, at present not used above where they min 

with those of theN aches River, since the great depth, narrowness,:: 

rapid fall of the canyon through which the Tieton runs, together w 

the very limited area of its bottom land, render it a difficult probl 

to convey water to the uplands, except at great expense for flumi 

There is little doubt that at some future period some of the plans I 
COLUMBIA RIVER DRAINAGE. 135 

posed for conveying water from the Tieton River to valuable lands in 

the Upper Cowiche distriet will be carried out. 

Settlements on the river are now very few, for the reasons above 

given. Vt>ry fine bottom lands of somewhat limited extent are to be 

found 24 miles above the river month, but owing to their inaccessibility, except by mountain trail, they are used almost solely for stock 

grazing. A remarkable soda spring is to be found ± miles below the 

river forks, the water of which is very palatable. During a summer 

reconnaissance of the river from its mouth to the headwaters it was 

found that the country is used to some extent for stock grazing, but 

no sheep were seen. Although no rain had fallen during July, August, 

and September, the vegetation had suffered but very little. 

No locations suitable for reservoir sites were found, and it is believed 

that none exist on Tieton River proper. 

YAKIMA RIVER AT UNION GAP, WASH. 

The gaging station at Union Gap was established August 1±, 1803. 

It is G miles below North Yakima, about 1,000 feet below the highway bridge, and about 3 miles above the head gate of the Sunnyside 

Canal. It is described in \Vater-Supply Paper No. 51, page 441. 

The station is of value in determining the amount of water available 

for the extensive irrigable lands below. The results of measurements 

for 1900 will be found in the Twenty-second Annual Report, Part. IV, 

page 447. No measurements of discharge were made at this station 

during 1901.

MERCED RIVER ABOVE MERCED FALLS, CAL. 

Merct>d River above 1\Iereecl Falls drains approximat,ely 1,090 sqr 

miles of the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada. There are ineln 

in the easte1·n port,ion of its drainage area a large number of l 

peaks, the highest., Mount Lyell, reaching an elevation of 1a,O.J.:? f 

The midsummer flmv of t,his stream is much larger in proportio 

its drainage area t,han that, of the Tuolumne River, which joins i 

the north. 

The measurement of this stream was undertaken in responfl 

numerous rt>quests from mining and irrigat,ion interests. The r 

summer flow of the stream is less t,han the combined capacit.y of 

irrigat.ion and power canals taking water in t,he vicinity of Snell

SAN JOAQUIN RIVER AT HERNDON, CAL. 

Thjs station, established by the Southern Pacific Company in 1870, 

is at the iron highway bridge crossing the river at Herndon. It is 

described in "\Vater-Supply Paper No. 51, page 458. 

A reconnaissance has been made of the river above Polasky, wit-h 

the view of locating a new station where the section ·will be more permanent, but, no place entirely satisfactory has been found. 

Results of measurements for 1900 will be found in the Twentysecond Annual Report, Part IV, page 466.

TULE RIVER NEAR PORTERSVILLE, CAL. 

The Tnle River <trains a port,ion of the western slope of the Sierra 

Nevada. Hs wat,erslwd has somewhat less run-off than that of the 

Kaweah River, which joins it on t.he north, and is much less elevated 

and snow covered than the King River Basin. The water of this 

stream is all appropriated during the irrigat,ion season, and a port.ion 

is used iu irrigating valuable orange lands in the vicinity of Portersville, Cal. 

The gaging statiou is located about 8 miles east of Portersville at a 

point just below the wagon hddge near the l\fcFarland ranch, and 

about 1 mile above t,he mouth of the South Fork of Tule River. The 

station was established April 1~, 1901. The gage rod is situated on 

the right bank of the river, 100 feet below the bridge. The 0 of the 

gage is 8 feet below a spike driven into a large cottonwood tree. The 

area of the watershed abo\'e the gaging station is approximately 300 

square miles. 3Ieasurmnents of diseharge were made by J. B. Lippincott and S. G. Bennett during 1!)01, as follows:

onee a week, and an automatic gage records daily fluctuations c 

river heights. J\Ir. A. K. vVarren, the engineer in charge of this 

for the Kern County Land Company, attends to t,}w discharge 1 

urements with much accuracy and precision, and furnishes tlw 

vey with the final results. The results of measurements for 190
