Livingstone, Ariz.. Aug. 9.-(Spe- cfalD-Mr. Munc Price. who was taken down with typhoid fever two weeks ago. died at 1the Roosevelt hospital Sunday evening at 8 o'clock. MT. Price was employed as a rodman with MT. Spriggs' party and he had been working for the United States geolo- | gical survey for about year. MT. | Price was a young man of pleasant l disposition and a perfect gentleT'an [ and every one connected with the sur | vey shares with his relatives and dear CT friends the sorrow caused by his ] untinely end. MT. Prices father and ! mother are both dead but he has two ! sisters and several brothers, his form CT home being at Reedsville, N. C. Mir. ! Prices remains were taken to Globe and his relatives were notified of his death. Mir. c. R. OIberg, assistant engineer. ! who was the frs one taken down with typhoid has fully recovered and is able 1 to be around gain. MT. Olberg leavec today for Washington ID. C. pr. R. F. Palmer. who was also . victim Of the typhoid epidemic has re- covered and the doctor leaves shortly on C. vacation trip back east. Doctor l SiZer of Prescott is looking after the welfare of Roosevelt and Doctor Stark of Fl Paso is now in attendance at Il l headquarters camp.
 Mir c. B. Clegg of Roosevelt is l spending his vacation at the rest camp | in Sierra Anchas.
 Yesterday the river at Roosevelt was two feet higher than it has been any time since the big flood of two weeks ago. The rise in the river was caused by heavy rains in the Sierra | Anchas Considerable water ran into the south end of the sluicing tunnel and the bottom of the tunnel is GOV cred by about two inches of mud but it is rapidly being drained out. MT. Rankin, superintendent of the con struction Of this tunnel is rapidly bringing the two ends of the tunnel to- getner having completed two hundred and forty eight feet on one end and one hundred and twenty-five feet on the other. About a hundred feet of tunneling will complete the job. The construction of this tunnel was a very diff ,Elt piece of work having been driven through the solid rock by means of compressed air drills. The men working in th:s tunnel suffered 2 great deal from the heat the average
 temperature in the north end of the ! tunnel being 145 fahrenheit and in the south end 12O fahrenheit
 The big power plant at Roosevelt
 is now in active operation night and
 day, working three shifts all the time.
 This power plant is one of the most
 complete plants for its size in the ter
 ritory The power generated is 2,20O
 volts and is being used for running
 the big gap lathe, carpenter shop, ma
 chine shop, ice plant, steam hoist for
 the cement mill and other machinery
 The ice plant just installed is turning
 out ice at the rate of one 50 pound cake an hour. At this rate the gov
 ernment camps can very readily be
 supplied. The ice plant is d model
 structure and MT. Althon, construct
 ing engineer deserves a great deal of
 credit. When he started in to make
 ice the temperature of water he go:
 from the Cottonwood pipe line was
 about 110 fahrenheit but by hard work
 and perseverance he reduced the tenn
 perature to the right figure. The tenn
 perature of the storage room is now . kept at S5.
 One cln readily understand what MT
 AltHpI HdS accomplished when 1t 'S l considered that the machinery for the
 ice plant was lying on the ground si. weeks ago.
 The construction of the cement mil
 is progressing rapidly. About two thirds
 of the structural steel is on hand and set in place. Work on the mill has
 been a little delayed the past few days
 on account of the inability to haul tn, fl steel from Globe due to the bad condi- Q ton of the roads.
