 from the above reservoir. and 10000 acres of good land within ten miles of St Johns could use the surplus. Ten thousand dollars make the necessary ditches to convey the water on the 10000 acres near St. Johns.
 SITE NO. 3.
 The construction of a reservoir at this place, which is sixteen miles above St. Johns, would cost 5000. An embankment 20 feet high, 60 feet wide at base and 20 feet OH top, 900 feet long. would back the water over 7C0 acres, at an average depth of eight feet. The reservoir would he filled from the Little Colorado.
 SITE No. 4.
 At the Salado Springs, six miles above St. Johns. on the Little Col orado, is one of the finest places for storing water in the country. A wall and bank 70 feet high, with 100 feet base, 30 feet on top. eco feet long, would cost about $50,O00. This dam would back the water up the river for ten miles, and would contain sufficient wafer 10 irrigatc 60,000 acres of land during the sea- son. About 1000 acres of the land in this reservoir site Is claimed. There is always plenty water passes down the stream to insure inc reservoir being filed. There is 25,000 acres of land be tween this place and ten miles be- low St. Johns, mostly vacant for want of water; and eight miles fur ther down is valley containing l3,000 acres of agricultural land not in use, and still further down the river 17 miles, another valley containing 60,000 acres of fair quail fly of land.
 SITE NO. 5.
 This place is only one mile above St. Johns, at a place known as the Padres Lake" An embankmcnt 10 feet high and LOGO feet long, costing only $2,5O0, would cover about 100 acres, six feet deep. Said site is claimed by private parties, who hold it for speculation, as they 1 have no land that conld be irri- gated from if, and the land em. braced in the site is of no value for my other purpose, being q barren spot. A ditch necessary to fill it, IS now in use to convey water to .he city lots of St. Johns. There is m abundance of water passes down he Little Colorado during the thaw every spring to fill many such res ervoirs, as described above.
 SITE NO. 6.
 This place is at tlIe mouth of the Iuni river, twenty miles below St. Johns. The wall would be TOO feet ong, so feet high, 120 feet wide on he bottom and 40 on top. and would cost about $65,O00. It would cover 1000 acres 35 feet deep on m average. When full will hold sufficient water to irrigate 125,000 lcres of land four times each sea 'on. The Zuni river heads one hundred miles cast from said site, II the Zuni mountains. If tlis res 'rvoir WAS made 1t would not be necessary to make all of the others above.
 There is one reservoir about two niles above St. Johns in success ul operation. which has been in Ise three years. It is owned by he St. Johns Irrigation Company, md covers about fifty acres of land welve feet deep. Its original cost vas about $4,O00. It is the only ource of water supply during the Try season for 5000 acres of land lear St. Johns, and does not afford ulficient water for that much land, ut would bc ample for l 500.
 With sufficient water for St. ohns valley, 10000 acres of good
