The large purchases of bar silver
ia New York for London account
has again given rise to hope that
the Indian mints would be re-
opened soon to the white metal.
A sharp rise in silver expected to
follow the opening of the India
mints, and to this are traced the
free purchases In London for ship
ment to India, which has taken
China's place as the Leading pur-
chaser. From the first of the year
pp to June IA silver shipments
from London to the East reached
$24,399,6l0, a gain Of 5737, ,4e5
over the same period in 1898, when
the India mints were yet open to
silver coinage. Shipments to India
haye decreased this year 34.8 per

Grand Canyon DAM

Arizona is said to be a barren
desert, yet through the northern
portion flows a volume of water
sufficient to irrigate every avail
able foot of ground in the territory.
This vast body of water, constitut-
ing the great Colorado river, flows
between walls in places six thous-
and feet high and not oyer two
hundred feet in width.
A proposition has for some time
been agitating the public mind in
regard to putting a dam in this
canyon for the purpose of general
ing sufficient electric power to
pump water on to the mesa lands
some thousands of feet above. A
steel frame work will be laid in the
canyon as a foundation, and against
this frame work massive boulders
will be shot down from the cliffs
above. In this manner a dam to
the height of 300 feet will be
formed and below the fall thus
made massive pumps driven by
turbines will be placed. These
turbines will also run electric
generators aud the power will be
conveyed along the pipe lines to
the relief stations.
The point to which the water
will be pumped from the Colorado
river is Yavapai summit, on the
boundary between Mohave and
Ooconino counties, From that
place water will run by gravity to
nearly every part of the territory.
In Mohave county there are
about 100000 acres of land that
can be brought under cultivation;
in Coconino county, 100000 acres
Yavapai, 100000 acres, and in
Maricopa and Yuma counties fully
100000.
These lands now are practically
worthless, but by this water system
can be m ade the most valuable O.
any on the Pacific coast. The
water is there, the only requisite
lacking being the necessary capita
to put it in position to be utilized
An effort should be made to induce
congress to aid in the construction
of this great reclamation scheme
and thus add hundreds of millions
to the taxable wealth of Arizona
