Cement Factory.

The cement expert who ac- companied Director Walcott on his visit to the TontO Basin, de clares that a clay deposit near the site of the reservoir will pro duce the finest Portland cement known in the market. And there is sufficient to produce millions of tons. Here is a pointer of encouragement. A large cement factory is to be constructed on the ground which will manufac- ture the cement on the spot. The factor.j will be run by electric power generated by water power delivered through a canal of twenty miles in length. At the point of delivery the water will have fall of 280 feet. When the reservoir is built these ce- ment works will be utilized to furnish the market with cement. Arizona will use thousands of tons annually. It can be deliv cred to Tucson for about two dollars per barrel. This is an other result which comes from the national irrigation law. It is but one of hundreds which will develop as the beneficence of the law breaks upon the busi- ness vision of the people of Arizona. Star.

MAXWELL ON IRRIGATION.
Says the Colorado River Will be the
 Nile cf America.

'People in the east have no idea of the magnitude of the ir- rigation work the United States government has entered on, '' said George H. Maxwell. execu- tive chairman of the National Irrigation Association.
 "In Arizona" he continued, "the government has @ big force of surveyors at work in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, preparatory to the construction of reservoirs and digging of main canals. The Colorado river will be the Nile of America. From that stream will be taken water enough to irrigate a region that will support bigger population than California now has. Luck fly, too, the Colorado is fullest Of water in the summer time when the crops need moisture.
 Ut will be a work of years to carry the undertaking to com pletion, but it will be the great est benefit ever conferred on the western people. Once they get the water on these lands, which are Of great fertility, abundant crops can be harvested for cent urics, and failure of harVests is impossible. The section speak of will produce the finest tropic- al fruits and choicest vegetables and they can be put in the mar ket fully a month earlier than they are now gathered in any part of the United States.

Needles Quadrangle.

It is stated ina press bulletin from Washington, D. C., that what is known as the Needles quadrangle is now under survey by the United States geological survey and topographic maps of the region will soon be pre- pared. This area lies in eastern San BernardinO county, CalifOr nia, and southwestern MOhave county, Arizona, and touches the Nevada state line on the north. The Colorado river cuts through the district from northwest to southeast, dividing it into two nearly equal. parts. At the east ern end of the basin included in the quadrangle the greatest de- pression is the Sacramento Wash, the course of which Is due west, and is followed by the line of the Santa Fe railroad.
 The region is bare and forbid ding, but the soil is said to re- spond with wonderful fertility to irrigation. A few scattered pros pect holes are to be found in the foothills, but the Santa Fe rail road is the only permanent i'm provement of any kind.
 The mountains, the foothills, and the sides of the basin have been mapped on a scale suitable for showing their mineral fea- lures, but the river bottom has been mapped on d larger scale in connection with the reclama- tiOn surveys.
 Work of similar character is also being undertaken along the Colorado river in the vicinity of Yuma, Arizona.

Salt River Irrigation.

The secretary of the interior has decided the various points in the controversy among land own CTS in the Salt River valley, in Arizona, over the terms on which they may secure water from the big resefvolr the government is tO build above Phoenix. The government having decided that when the reservoir shall be built present owners shall have the preference to water, a dispute arose among those affected as to whether the government should deal with them as individuals or as a community. The govern ment has decided in favor of the community idea.
 The secretary also holds that there shall be no preference on account of the age of accrued water rights, but directs that all landhoiders shall stand on the same basis in acquiring water from the reservoir. Expense ol maintaining the works will be distributed in proportion toacre- age, and mortgages must be given to secure the repayment to the government of the funds expended in the construction of the works. The rulings in this case establish important prece- dents.

The American Mexican Pacific railroad will be built. The busi- ness men of Tucson have so de creed and what they say goes, especially when they back their conclusions with their money and assurance. It required twenty thousand dollars to aid in fnanc- ing the road. The business men of Tucson have come forward and pledged the amount.
 The next step will be the pres ence of the engineer of the debenture company which will furnish the funds to build the road, That man will be here in 8 few days. His report fayora- ble, it will be but a short tune until the business of grading will begin. That the report will be favorable can be assured as the facts beforcthe interested parties come and will be substantiated by the closest examination and scrutiny. Her commercial SUI premacy will continue right along. All of the cities and settlements of southern Arizona will be tributary to this conner cial, financial, and railroad cen ter. This much is settled. The business nen of Tucson have settled it and settled it for all time to come. The American Mexican-Pacitic railroad will be built Star.

A curious feature of the fire works program during the dedi- cation ceremonies at the World $ Fair, St. Louis, will be the re- lease of a large balloon made of the finest and lightest oil silk, and filled with the best quality Of hydrogen. To this balloon will be attached, under proper safeguards to prevent injury, a notlce directed to the finder that on return of the notice to the Exposition officials, a season pass to the Fair will be given. It is estimated that the balloon under moderately favorable conditions will travel thousand miles be- fore returning to earth. 1t is likely that much interest will be displayed on the night of the balloons release as to the direct ion of the wind, and that localj- ties iu the fortunate direction will be on the lookout for the i"eJ@u-c- .u;leA leasourc~.

By continuous observation, in the way of water measurements, the flow of water in the Colorado river has been accurately deter mined. The water is lowest, and what is called the low water period, is from September 1, to March 1, approximately, vary ing somewhat in different sea sons. Daring the low water period, when the least water is needed for irrigating purposes, the mean flow is 4,Q00 second feet. According to California measurement this would be equiv alent to 100000 miners inches. High water occurs about June 1, when the average flow is about 90, 900 secOnd-feet, as the geOlOgi- cal survey makes the measure ment, which is the equivalent to 2, 300, ,000 miners inches. Taking the mean flow of water for the year, there is enough water flow ing in the Colorado river to irrigate 4,000, GOO acres of land, giving for each acre four acre feet of water.
 The Colorado is about 2,000 miles long, and the big body of water flowing in the bed a portion of the. season is gathered from a watershed of 225, GOO square niles, two-thirds of which is desert land. In time of flood the water comes from this territory with great rapidity bearing a great quantity of sediment or silt, while at other times the water is almost free from silt. The mean quantity Of this sedi- -ment amounts to 3,700 pounds for each acre-foot of water, which would deposit one fourth of an inch Of sediment each year, if irrigated as above mentioned. The total amount of silt carried by the river each yearis approxi- mately 61, 100000 tons. This, if compressed Tn the form of rock, from which it originally came, would make an acre of rock pavement of 26 23 uquare miles, one foot thick, or 56 square miles of soil a foot thick.
 The water bears valuable fer tilizing clements. In 100miners' inches of the flow of the river there is nitrogen of the value of S4, II. Most of the salts carried are such as would be beneficial to the soil, some being of a nature to counteract the effect of alkali and be of service as fertilizers.
