WILL DAM PENNINGTON CREEK
And Furnish Power for Tishominso
Industries-Water

p T. Hamilton, city attorney on
Tishomingo, is in the city and tells a
few things in regard to Tishomingo's
waterworks. her bonds, her dam, her
power and her future.
Mr.. Hamilton said that the city had
voted to bond the city for S5oooo.
twenty thousand for school purposes
and 100000 for waterworks purposes.
The sale of the bonds was nearly con
-lmmated. Mr. Hamilton said, and as
soon as they were sold the contract
would be let and the system built.
In doing this, Mr. Hamilton said
that they would dam the Pennington
iust above the city limits; that con
demnation proceedings were IN prog
rcss now to have 60 81 acres Of land
condemned for that purpose; that the
Pennington creek has a fall in the
neighborhood of Tishomingo of AZ
feet 20 the mile and that two great
granite boulders rest on oppo-
site banks close to eacn other,
where the dam will be made and that
fall of IS feet will be secured at
this place. Here they would put in a
turbin wheel and create enough power,
not only to run the waterworlis, but
almost enough for all the other indus
tries Of the city.
The Tishomingo waterworks, Mr..
Hamilton said, would be firstclass
and her school houses and school sys-
TEN would be second to none in the
territory
