Storage Dam Gives Way.

PRESCOTT, Arizona, Feb. pa fine
large storage dam built across the Hassay-
am river by the Walnut Grove Water
storage company two years ago at a cost OF
100000, gave way this morning under the
great pressure of the heavy flood and
swept everything before it. Forty persons
are known to have lost their lives. AS the
town Of Wickenburg, thirty miles below
the dam, was on the same stream, great
fears are entertained for the safety Of that
town, but as there is no telegraph commu-
nication, no news will be obtainable of its
fate until tomorrow at least. The service
dam of the company, located fifteen miles
below her reservoirs, and fifteen miles of
fume just approaching completioe was
also swept away although the company
has spedt over 100000 on the enterprise of
steering water. The hydraulic mining
machine had arrived and they expected to
commence operations next week. The dam
| which held the waters back was ITO feet
long at the base. 1t was 10 feet thick at
the base and 10 feet at the top, forming q
lake three miles in length by three-quarters
of a mile wide and ITO feet deep. Lieuten-
ant Brodie in charge of the work was alb
sent and was saved. OF those known to
to have been lost were j. Haines. wife and
