colt, A l., says the undoubted reason for the
breaking of the dam of the Walnut Grove
storage company across the Hazzayampa river
Last Saturday was tine leak which had been per-
ceptible for some time in the masonry about
fifty feet from the bottom.
This leak had been known to the engineer
OF the dam, said MIR. Priest. 'and vet he made
no effort to have 1t repaired. 1 don't see how
any one else could be held responsible. As to
the number OF lives lost it must certainly ex-
ceed l0O There were scores of men working
IN the placer mines there of whom no one
knew anything. They had no homes. and for
an know they had no names. These men
could have been swept away and no one would
nave been the wiser. This is the time when
tne placer mines are being worked to their ut
most capacity and the rush is the greatest, and
SO Will be much surprised should it be learned
tnat anything under 100 men have been lost ("
