 Capt. Thos. McEnery is now stopping at Pima and is working hard on his great scheme 10 tunnel the Graham mountain. He has succeeded in inter- esting President Kimball and his asso- ciates at Thatcher and number of other local men of prominence. The plan briefly is to drive a tunnel into the mountain at an elevation above the valley of $50 feet for the purpose of developing water and minerals. Surveys have been made and the dist ance through is estimated at twelve miles. The eastern terminal would empty into a natural reservoir of i'm mense proportions. The company which proposes to do this great work is the Triumph Tunnelsite company, and efforts will be made to sell quan- tity of stock at low price. Bishop H N. Chlarson has taken an option on large block of stock and will go north to work among his people.-Bulletin.
