THE BOX CANYON DAM.
Storage for Millions of Gallons of
 Water.

Judge Wells Hendershott returned yesterday from trip to the Box can yon, on Salt river, where he has corps of engineers at work surveying for the system of reservoirs that his company expect to construct at an early date.
 The location for system of man. moth reservoirs could not have been better or more suitably arranged had 1t been made to order, thinks the judge since his visit to the place. He found every con 1ition very much better than had been represented to hin. He IS so we'll pleased that he will immediately put two more corps of engineers to work and will leave for the scene of action again next Saturday to start them in.
 All notices of location have been filed under the law passed by the last legisla- ture in reference to the construction of reservoirs, dams and canals and the ne cessary steps have been thaken to con- fern with the act of Congress of Oct ober, S,IS9I.
 It IS proposed to build three big res ervoirs, the first one six miles above the mouth of the Verde, on Salt river, ere the " ter will be taken out into canals on both sides of the river and conveyed to the land for miles be- low irrigating many hundred thousand acres of the finest fruit and grape land in the world. This dam is to be thir- ty-four feet high ana sufficient thickness to withstand any pressure that might be put against 1t. e.
 The second dam will be near the mouth of Cottonwood creek and will be ninety-fve feet in height, I8o feet long, twenty feet across the top and forty feet at the base.
 The third dam, which will be the main storage dam will be at the mouth Of the Box canyon, where the water comes down from the great Tonto Basin county. The bedrock at this point is twenty-five feet from the sur fIce. The canyon Is FPS feet in width at this point and the walls are 225 feet high. The dam will be 200 feet thick at the base, 100 feet wide on top and FPS feet high, thus almost stopping up the mouth of the great gorge, thereby holding an immense amount of water is sore that would otherwise run away to the sea and do no one any good. 1 These dams are to be what IS known as ark dams, concave and convex, to be laid with the best cement. MT. Hendershott expects tc have every thing ready to begin operations by the middle of October. A trip will be made to New York by him in June to perfect final arrangements s.-Gazette I

No More Reservations Wanted


 A Petition to the secretary of the.interior against the making of Arizona into any more Indian reservation, and protesting against the proposed Papago reserva- tiOns, will be circulated soon. threads as follows:
 To the Secretary of the InterIor-
 We earnestly protest against giving the Papago Indians the land situate in the southwestern portion of Pima county, Arizona, as a reservation.
 These Indians are partially civilized, make their own living, and go and come when and where they please. Without an agent they are as law abid- ing and uactable as the generality of our people; but with an agent many of them are inclined to be lawless, believ- ing an agent is for the one purpose of protecting them in lawlessness.
 The large area of land proposed to be given them adjoins the international line, and IS, for mEny reasons, of almost inCalculable value. It IS made up of rich mining, agricultural and pastoral districts. It IS now covered with set tiers, many of whom have expended thousands of dollars in developing wa ter, in building ranches, in exploiting mines, and setting out fruit trees ana vines. One well alone in this proposed reservation has cost its owner over SIo, 900. There are many that have cost upwards of S3ooo. Many reservoirs have been built in this area that have cost from $2ooo to $5ooo. One ranch man alone, in this area, has expended on his buildings upwards of $2o, 900. Many herds of cattle are ranging over the land; mining camps haue been esta- blished; fruit orchards and vineyards have been planted and are now grow ing. This Is the situation.
 To set this land aside for these h. dianS means, of course, the destruction of all this property. Doyou think. these settlers will tamely submit to this? Do you not think that the concenSus of opinion will justify them in defending their homes and their savings? And should they unite and make this de fence, would 1t not result in serious and expensive complications? In no sense is this threat; 1t is but the statement of fact.
 Our people have been taught by long and cruel experience that 1t is un- wise and unsafe to locate Indians along an international line, or near to it. The line is used by them as double barri- cade, for mischief committed on either side always finds protection and immun- tv on the other,
 We do not believe the Papagos ought to have a reservation or an agent, for we believe that without either they will be industrious. self sustaining and law-abiding. But in no event can we sit passive and permit the immense area of land in question to be segregated and turned over to them without at least sending you our most vigorous protest and earnest warning. If you will in vestigate this matter and obtain the real facts, and then see the real situa- ton, you will then know that the es- tabliShment of this reservation will be 9 great wrong, a constant menace, the sacrifice of thousands of dollars of hard, earned property, and the ultimate loss ofthe good will that has happily so long existed between these Indians and or own people.

the sun sinks behind them in the even- | ing they are at their best, and in strong contrast aQaipst a ky of living scintilla- l ing lght appear as a quiverirg mass of blue and purple. When seen from 6 distance they impress the beholder with | peculiar charm of their own. They are covered with a hundred varieties or plants that will interest any botanist and the crests are covered with rough l jagged rocks oD which are carved many peculiar figures.
 The hill which contains the most carvings Is at the end of what is known as Stevens Lane and the base of it is about two miles from the the center of l town. When near tie base a person eau see a ridge of black rocks forming U sort of back bone along the top of the 1 mountain. II is on these that the carv- ings are found and It is well worth climb to the top to seq the work of the artlsts tha slived possibly th usands of years before our history began.
 Besides the carvings hs view from the top IS magnificent enough to pay for the trip up the rocky hillside among the loose boulders andsprickly cactI. The view to the east covers au eXpanse of many hundreds of miles, and the white shiaing walls of Tucson. with the green trees struggling between them seem to be at the very base of the mountain. It Is view that would be hard to dupli- cate and the longer 1t is loOkt d at the more there is to be seen.
 But to find the carving. You need only go to the eastern face of the ridge of rocks, which has now b come cliff, and you will find plenty in most ex- cellert state of preservation.
 The rocks are naturally white, but, by the action of the elements, have become covered with black coating, and the pictur-s have been produced by chipping through this deposit and ex- posing the w.ite of the stone under heath Some of them have become b,aCk9ned again and can not be seen plain y, but many others u a. were in protected pleac E, are almost a. fresh as the day they Were carved, many hun dred year ago.
 Who dd the carving is enc of he my steri5s of the country. All the h. dian tribes m the Territory deny having any kn 'wledge of them and say they were there when they came. The catholic priests also state that they Were also there when the first missionaries cane and some of t-e good men ev- dertly thought they were some i'd 7la- trous image and in several places have scratched crosses in the cliff by way of offsetting the worK of the pagans.
 Many of the carvings are on s,ones the size of house and others are on small rocks that could be hauled away in a good heavy wagon if they could be got to it thout damage.
 The artists did not seem to be linn tied in t cir choice of subjects for dozens of objects can be found that are recog- piZable and there are many others that are simply meaningless eroglyphics. The strangest thing about the carv- ings is the numerous examples of Greek scrolls and borders. They are made as perfectly as pos sslble. On the very crest of the hill IS large triangular stone
