 A DAM PUT IN TO STAY-James R. Thorpe of the Buckeye Land and Canal company came in from Buckeye
 
 in experimenting repairs on the canal system. Mr. Thorpe will leave this morning for Denver. MT. Thorpe said that the dam of the company had not suffered in the slightest degree by req son of the flood which seems to have torn out everything else along the Gila river. The dam as it has been recon structed is a permanent institution. A great many large cables have been used in the rebuilding of it, it has been given a good foundation and plenty of rock has been used.

The work will be finished within a few days.
