ABUNDANCE OF WATER.
Excellent Behavior of Salt River This
 Season.

'fNever before," said Water Com missioner Trott yesterday, "has the river acted so we'll Usually about this time it comes roaring down in a flood and takes out brush dam or two and fills the canals with the mud diest of water. This year the flow has been gradually increasing since Feb ruary 1 till now there is flowing a mat ter of 73,000 miners, inches of clear snow water and the stream is even passing the dam of the Consolidated canal, five miles above Phoenix. Every dam on the river is intact, every canal is full and the water service on the whole is, I believe, the best that has eyer been known"
 Irrigation is proceeding briskly all over the valley and the prospect for abundant crops is excellent. Though there may be heavy rains before the summer time, there is little snow left in the mountains and little fear is ex- pressed of a flood of even minor di- mensions.
