DR.. Chandler is working on cross
cut from the Mesa to the Tempe canal.
The new water way commences about q
mile nerth of his home at the Mesa
City division gates and runs due west.
The distance is about two miles. There
will be two drops to the edge OF the
Mesa, and then a fall OF forty feet into
the canal. This is the largest drop in
the territory and affords magnificent
water power. 1t will probably be util-
lied for milling and mining purposes.

the Mesa, about nine miles from Tempe,
and Daggs brothers, still larger band.

OF northern Arizona are wintered in
this valley.
