lug before Columbus set foot upon
American soil the systems Of irrigation
discovered and being used az present by
the Mormors, in various sections, was
bringing rich rewards to the Pueblo H.
dams who constructed them. Re-

show that several large valleys
were st one time perfect gardens, and the
system of irrigation that made them so
still remains intact, while those for whom
they were constructed to benefit bsve
