It is believed that the dam across the Colorado river, says the Mohave county Miner, will be built above Parker, at what IS known as the NarrOws. At thls point the river is but two hundred feet wide, with rocky walls on each side. At a height of one hundred feet above the present river level the width of the canyon is about six hundred feet. This great dam would be the means of reclaiming thous- ands of acres of the most fertile lands in Yuma county, and afford homes to more people than now inhabit the whole territory. The dam would back up as far as Mellen.

THE AMERICAN NILE THE GREAT COLORADO RIVER Flowing Through Five States, Will Reclaim 3OO,OOO Acres of Land
 in Yuma County.
By ARTHUR r. DAVIS, Photographer United States Survey.

The great Colorado river is the largest stream, both in drain age area and discharge, that lies wholly within the arid portion of the United States. It is formed by the junction of the Green and Grand rivers, rising in Wyoming and Colorado, respectively, in regions of great precipitation, mainly in the form of snow. Only a very small percentage of water yielded by the basin of the Colorado has as yet been utilized for irrigation, and prac- tically none for any other pur- poses. The obstacles are many. Through most of its course this river and it's tributaries flow at the bottom of profound canyons, from which it is impossible to divert them upon irrigable lands. The river emerges from canyon short distance above the ''Nee- dles'- crossing of the Santa Fe Pacific railrOad-and has a series of valleys which between this point and the Mexican line aggregate about 500,000 acres. In this region the waters are heavily laden with sediment, which is a serious obstacle to their diverson. The grade Ot the river is so flat that a diver sion canal taken out at the riv' CTS bed must have so slight fall and so low a velocity that if would quickly fill with sediment from the river. For the same reason a canal must be very long in order to command any con siderable area of land in the river valley.
 1 Measurements of the flow neal Yuma show that the river some
 times discharges a minimum O Iabout 3,000cubic feetper second
 It's maximum discharge is un
 known, but probably exceeds
 one-half million cubic feet pel

 The river is navigated mOr

 Virgin river. It's navigation however, is so difficult and pre- cariouS as to make it almost use less. At low water the channe is so broad, shallow and change able that boats are continual
