THE SALT RIVER DAM.

The dam across Salt river, Colorado, is going to be a big thing, and it is go- ing to do biz things by its aid in irri- gatfng the arid lands of the valley. Of the magnitude of the work for which the government has let the contract some conception may be had from the specifications. The dam will be 270 feet in height, with thickness of 165 feet at the base and sixteen feet at the top. Its length will approximate 300 feet and lit will create a lake twenty-five miles in length, with an average width of two
 miles. Among the preliminaries to the work of construction of the great dam were the cutting of a road forty-three miles in length, mainly through mountainous region and through solid rock, with a tunnel 800 feet long for the purpose of diverting the waters of the
 river while the great dam is under pro- cess of construction.
 When completed 1t will be equipped
 with hydraulic gates of capacity each
 of 10000 cubic feet of water per second, while arrangements will be made, as part of the contract, for carrying the
 excess water to stations within a disr tance of 100 miles to irrigate arid lands not within the territory tributary to the Salt river dam.
 The liberality of owners of land in
 the Salt river territory in conveying to the United States government 100000 acres is a liberality that will be repaid by returns of 100 per cent, or even more, Of the 100000 acres conveyed to the government to be opened for set-
