plished, before a plan Of action can be formulated.
 Until iborings to bedrock are made, no estimate of the cost of a dam can be made, and without an estimate of cost, no measure for raising the neces- sary funds can be definitely formulated. The committee is doing all in it's power to make arrangements with Ithe United States geological survey to make the necessary borings at the dam
 sites There is much other data that
 must be secured before a plan Of ac- tion can be wisely made. Those who
 are putting most time on the question
 realize most fully how much must yet be done. There is need of much careful
 thoughtful study of the situation that
 justice be done all and that no errors
 be committed that will retard the flu
 ture progress of our valley. Better wait
 months before taking final action, rather than act unwisely.
 AS to the capacity of the Tonto res ervoir, SC much that is the result of conjecture. and not careful calculation, has been written that it is time the cold facts be presented to the public. As a result of careful calculations, the writer
 feels confident that he is warranted in asserting that the Tonto reservoir will supply water for not more than 100000 acres for one year. without any rain fall, instead of all the valley for two | years. as has been so often asseIJed. A little later I hope to be given space in your valuable columns to present the figures upon which these asser- tions are based. A storage reservoir would be of incalculable value to this
 valley, but it ic certainly wise to con- | fine our statements to demonstrable facts and not deceive ourselves as to what such a res5 rvoir would do for US. A. J. MCLATCHIE. Phoenix Nov. 19, 1900.

AN ANTIQUARY'S DEATH
Herman Postel Was Man of Some
 Importance.

The final account of Dr. William Duflicld, administrator of the estate ut Herman Pastel, was approved in the probate court yesterday. Pastel came here about q month ego in an almost dying condition to undertake a surgical operation in which the chances were very much against nim. Nothing was known dbout him except that his name was Herman Pastel, bGt since his death, correspondence with persons whose names were Scund among his effects, show that he was T man of more than ordinary import ance. Of his earlier life rOthinS has so far been gathered than tnag some years ago he vas |, purser on an At Iantic liner. lie later became an anti quary, and famous hut modest eN- plorer of Aztec rIins. He secured a collection rivaling in extent the tele- brated Aldridee collecticn. Among his patrons was Miss Helen Gould. He donated to the Smithsonian rsti- tute the largest collection cf Aztec cu- rios there His investigations carried him over New Mexico. Arizona and Mexico several years ago. but lis work was conducted so quietly that though ne must nave NlSlSCu | iSNiiiN ti4'.''' even those who are interested in sdGh explorations do not remember his name or his identity.
 About two years ago his health failed and he went to Havana, where he had some years ago regain ,d his health. In order to meet his expenses, he under took to represent an eastern brewing firm and a Chicago mercantile house. He must have grown worse rapidly. for neither firm heard from him curing his brief stay in Cuba. The inst and only word received from him wds in a letter to the Chicago house from Vera Cruz. saying he had iusI landed th@l and was on his way rn ;he city of Mex leo to submit to a surgical operation from which he had little hope of recov- cry.
 He did go to the city of Mexico. but for some reason the opera tiOu was not undertaken. He was, however, so stricken that he seems to have had no heart to write to anybody, for his east ern friends heard nothing more about him until they learned that he was dead.

WET WEATHER FEATURES
Things to Be Expected When ii
 Rains Hald.

Now that the rain has been in pro- gross for two or three days it is time to begin noting results.
 The first thing reported yesterday was washout this side of Maricopa that delayed the M. & P. incoming train for two or three hours. The dam. age was repaired and last nights train went out on time. A washout on the $. F. r. & P. was reported from Peoria hut it proved to be trivial and did not interfere. with traffic. Cave Creek was booming, and as usual at flood time it poured a big body of water into tho Arizona canal. This broke the canal bank and the water sweeping toward the railroad threatened much, but did little damage.
 There was also a big break in the Arizona canal at Indian Bend, above Scottsdale, and some minor breaks.
 N. M. Broadway, who lives south of the river at old Maricopa crossing, came to town yesterday morning and is still here. though he Is a good man and is seldom away from home at night. When he crossed the river in the morn ing it was the same old sand wash he has been driving over for three years past. When he started home he found the river a raging torrent and far be- yond fordng. It is said that this is the first time the river has been unford- able at either the Wilson, Gray or Broadway crossings in the last threa years.
 The rain gauge at Hos a Greenhaw's 2 ranch yesterday recorded a total rain fall of three inches ito date. though this is considerably in excess of the phoe- nix precipitation.

respondents describe him as much broken in health and state that he can only walk by the aid of two assistants. Some years ago he had a severe lll- ness, having somewhat the symptOns of paralysis, from which he never fully recovered. and I learn that of late he has grown quite stout. He is now in his seventy ninth year, and one can we'll anticipate that h. should begin to feel the physical effects of old az.

He is a man of fine physique, over six feet high, of commanding presence, erect and stoutly built, with dark, piercing eyes, and a face that is strongly nodded and indicative of strength of character.

their garden houses with crimson, blue, scarlet

their pools with beautiful water birds Goldfish
