THE STAGE OF WATER. There
was a slight fall in the river yester-
day. There is still about eight inches
of water running over the dam. The
river has made slight rises and falls
within the last twenty-four hours, but
the main portion of the flow will de
cline slowly. A break has occurred in
the dam at the joint head. The dam
IS made of rocks and brush and a
portion of is usually washes away t
each freshet. A crew of men will be
sent out this morning to repair 1T.
The break has had the effect of drying
the Maricopa canal and great deal
of water is going 10 waste. Word
