WATER WORKS
The Fort Valley Supply Believed to be Ample
 Some Points In its Favor.

Through the columns of the Demo- crat of this week we discussed, from the standpoint of a citizen and tax pay CT who expects to make Flagstaff his future home, the problem of water works for our town, and tried to point out in a general way the magnitude and importance of the enterprise, some of the dangers that confront us. the necessity of careful methodical bus mess judgment and action on the part of the council, and the duty of every citizen to give the council and the en- terprise his unqualified and unselfsh support. In this article wish to dis cuss in a more practical way, means and methods, sources of supply and general plans for the system.
 Some years ago when this question was new to us all, was told that South Denver had experimented unsuccess- fully with just such a proposition as the "Fort Valley" supply. Later, made trip to Denver and had an ex- tended interview with Mir. Allen, the chief engineer of the Consolidated Wa ter Works Co. Of the city of Denver. the owners of the South Denver sys- tenn, who has been in charge of that plant for many years and is recognized as one of the best experts in his line. He assured me there was no similarity whatever and demonstrated by sketches that the failure of that plant would be no criticism for this one.
 Further discussing our smith Spring" problem, he said. in sub- stance; developing water is usually like developing mine, no man can tell what you have under the ground, but we know there is only small per cent of the seapage water comes to the sur face. There are many large under. ground flows of water at the foot of all large mountains if We could find them.

THE COCONINO SUN.

the higher up the mountain you go for your supply the greater iiuctuation you are likely to find. A spring near tim ber line is fed from the snows that fall above it, and when you have light snows you will have small flow, as you will also have in long continued cold spell following dry weather: hence sup plies found at the base of mountain are much more reliable.
 Further discussing the question of our system, he said he would advise us to seek source of supply high up on the mountain only as a last resort, be- cause we would find it expensive and extremely difficult to provide against accidents at times when speedy repairs would be found impossible and slower repairs very expensive. These sugges- tions impressed me at the time and have influenced me in doing what 1 have done on the ''Fort Valley" propo- sition.
 Messrs. Goodhue and Hinkley have opened up close to 1000 feet of trench and pumped out large amount of wa ter. In February after measurements were taken, they pumped as high as 250,OOO gallons and us low as 37. .OOO gal Ions per day. This was after months of frozen ground above which prevent- ed all seapage from the snow. We had small rainfall last season and the ground was exceedingly dry, as was demonstrated later by the fact that the heavy snows of last winter melted and soaked into the ground, making scarce ly any surface water. This test, while less extensive than we would desire, was made under the most adverse con- ditions.
 It is cOntended that the question is one of seapage area, and that the vol ume of water can be increased by ex- tending development trenches further up the gravel bed, aud that opening the outlet in this manner will increase

Sheep Range Going East.

A POLITICAL HOG.

We have yet to hear a single favor
able comment in this part of the State
on the candidacy Of Nj. Eewland's for
U. S. Senator. His action In not COM
ing out in the beginging of the contest
was not only cowardly, but recent de-
velopments look as though he had re-
sorted to t~reachery. II has been OPEN
~ insinuated In some OF the western pa
pers that Newland's money was used to
knife his own ticket in Storey county.
Then the way the Carson News and the
Enterprise, "staunch Republican" pa
pers, fought shy of committing them,
relvss all through the campaign until
after Aewlands declared himself, when
they Immediately welcomed him, a Dem

n CARSON I N
Superintendent coicord asks the
Support of Nevada Miners.

There Is every reason why the mi
ners and bullion producers OF Nevada
should send their bullion 70 the Carson
mint. In the irst place, they would
save on express charges 40 between
Carson and San Francisco and get
quicker returns, for in every case Il the
deposit Is received by IL o'clock noon,
payment in made by 1 p. n. Of the same
day. And again, the mint charges for
melting, assaying, etc. are exactly the
same as at the San Francisco mint. The
system of assaying and depositing at all
the minis and assay offices IL the same,
the depositor being paid for the gold to
the one-half thoussndth and silver to
the n thousandth.
THE mint at Carson Is fully equip
ped In all the different departments and
the character OF the work done at this
institution as shown by the mint re-
ports 10 Of the highest order, and can
not be excelled for efficiency and cor
RICHNESS by any other similar institution
In the United States.
THE appropriations made by Con.
gress for the support of the different
mints and assay ofices are based upon
the number and value OF the deposits
received during the year. At every
session of Congress during tho past few
years u representatives have met with
strong and persistent opposition to their
Efforts in securing an appropriation for
this mint. The opposition urging that
the small amount of bullion received
here does not justify the outlay, not.
withstanding the fact that the bullion
product of this State, notably gold pro-
duction, has been on the increase year
ly. The gold product for 1881 being
SO, ll2, 900 against $685., 600 for the year
1893. As a result Of this opposition the
appropriations asked for have each year
been reduced, until from the operations
OF a coming mint In 1893 with an annual
appropriation Of s11O, 900 it has been re-
duced to that OF a mere assay ONCE,
confined TO the receipts Of gold bullion
only.
'If the people OF Nevada viii look to
their W interests this condition can
be remedied, and the Carson mint re-
stored to tie former usefulness and bene.
fit to the people OF the entire state. II
all tue bullion produced III The state
was sont 10 this mint there would be 90
difficulty in securing the necessary sp.
