f. M. Boggs, professor of irrigation of
the University of Arizona. has replied to
the mayor of Tucson in regard to the re-
quest for survey on the Santa Cruz by
demonstrated near town with view to
inducing capital to come forward and de-
velop same. Professor Boggs says:
From time to time l have reconnoit-
cred the several water development works
of this valley, but have been unable to
make detailed measurements of their
magnitude, or gauges of the streams act
such works can tell us concerning the
depth of the water sheet below the sur
face, it's extent and its rate of movement,
will not be work of much magnitude.
To fully investigate the subject, however,
to such extent as to enable my report to
serve as possible basis for commercial
enterprise, would be a matter requiring a
large amount Of detailed surveying. Prob
ably the sum of $500 would no more than
cover the cost of the surface surveys and
maps, Possibly some test borings would
be necessary to determine certain points
of the Investigation"
Quite a large irrigation plant will be
put in shortly few miles north of Tue
son. The pump will have a capacity to
irrigate 100 acres of land.

cost less than 500. 600. 1t is also thought
feasible to generate sufficient power from
this spring to operate an electric railway
