before, and it is his opinion that tho
 present operations are only the begin
 ming of an era of extraordinary devel
 opment.
 The opening up of the Pfau mine ha.
 stimulated the mining industry in the
 Cherry Creek district, and numerous properties that have lain idle for years are being put in preparation for active development
 The Pfau mine and mill are working steadily with good results. The mill has just been started on a three months test run, during which time it will be thoroughly tried as to its adaptability in treating the quality of ore produced by the mine. During the test run it will be maintained at its full capacity, which is 150 tons every twenty-four hours. Work was delayed few days recently by the destruction of the gaso- line hoist and hoist house by fire. The damages have been repaired, and ev- erything is again in running order From the best information obtainable it is learned that the Pfau ore aver ages about $S per ton, free gold. The ore body is large and easily mined, and if the new tube mill comes up to the expectation of the owners as a gold sav- CT the property will prove to be bon anza, as $2.50 free gold rock is con sidered a very good proposition in the Cherry Creek district.
 Work on the Pfau extension is being pushed, as it is thought the same body of ore will be encountered at the depth as that found in the Pfau proper.
 A rich strike was made recently in he Copperopohs mine, adjoining the Pfau on the south. For sometime past he owners of the Copperopolis have been developing a large vein of low yrade ore running from two to three lollars per ton in gold. The latest re- port is that this same body of ore las increased in value. and bids fair O equal the Pfau property in rich less. If the new strike proves con- inuous it will mean the erection of a ] arge treatment on the property which Vill add greatly to the value of the utput.
 MT. Bartholdi saw there a number l f properties of splendid mineral show ng. The Golden Idol Company is acking and shipping ore and will have
 mill in operation in the near future.

RECLAMATION or THE ARID
 YUMA DESERT.

One ofthe most difficult irrigation
 undertakings of the present day is the
 proposition to transform s5,OOO acres
 of the arid Yuma desert into fertile
 farming land.
 The project presents almost insur-
 mountable difficulties in many ways. The nearest town is the city of Yuma.
 located F miles down the Colorado
 river. Suitably drinking water is ex-
 tremely scarce, and the summer tenn
 perature in the Yuma desert ranges
 from 100 to 120 degrees. A modern
 camp will be built, and will be control
 led by special officers employed by the
 contractors, or by the government po- lice of the Indian reservation. It will be equipped with complete refriger- ating system to provide ice and cold storage.
 The transportation difficulties will be overcome to a great extent by the use of 30 fit. gasoline launch to run as an express boat between the dam and Yuma. Barges and other float ing equipment will be used to trans port heavy supplies. At the dam will be located complete telephone and tele- graph systems, so that constant com munication may be had with the city of Yuma.
 At point where the Colorado river forms dividing line between the state of California and the territory of Arizona, dam one mile long will be built across the river. It will extend across the valley, and will have a sluieeway at either end which will be connected with the main ar teries of the system of irrigating canals. Under ordinary conditions the Colo rado river at this point is about a quarter of mile wide, but the flats on either side are frequently flooded by high water. This is especially the case during the early summer months, when heavy floods are caused by melt ing snow in the mountains.
 The contractors estimate that the work will require the removal of over 3O0,OO0 cubic yards of solid rock exea- vation, and 3O00da cubic yards of tighter material The rock will after wards be used for filing in the dam. The three vertical corrr te core walls n the interior of the .,am will require '0,OOO cubic yards of concrete, and 5O,- 100 lin- fit. of shc't piling. s0,OOO 'ubie yards of rocF paving fit. thick will be needed to complete the face of he dam.
 Very little work can be done during he time of heavy floods, and the con- truetiOn is to be pushed rapidly this all and winter, so that the dam may 'e finished before the wet season of eO6. To facilitate construction, large rders have already been placed for rompt shipments of the elaborate quipment necessary to successfully emplete the work. Construction will e supervised by specially trained len who will act under instructions rom their New York office As in ieative of their determination to finish his great work within the year, it is interesting to know that work was etually commenced by engineers -ithin six hours after the contract had cen signed.
