the Nile. 1t is nothing compared to the
valley Of the Mississippi. That is the

almost a billion dollars a year. A large
part of our cotton comes from there,
and 1t is a beehive of mining and man

enormously to the West by the new
Irrigation works now going on.

The dam is the main feature of one
Of the largest OF the government irri-

yon Of the Salt River, just below its
junction with the small tributary
above named. It will be 2TO feet high,
2l0 feet long, 1875 feet thick at the
base. and 10 feet wide on top.
This dam will create lake twenty
five miles long and between a mile and

100000 barrels of cement will be need
ed to build the dam.
An Important Adjunct.
Another very important adjunct to
this big work is a wagon road which
has been built from Roosevelt to Globe,
the nearest town, forty miles distant,
Another road three miles in length,
was built, leading to the timber in the
Sierra Ancha, where about 100000
feet Of timber has been sawed for use
In the work.
Some idea of the difficulty encoun-
tered in the construction OF the road
to Globe may be inferred from the
fact that in some places, where it ira

through solid rock sixty to seventy
feet deep, while Fish Creek hill is

Electricity for night work will be

waters Of the Salt River have been
temporarily harnessed to an electric
power plant, which develops 4,4OO
horsepower, by means of a turbine,

power thus developed runs a cement
mill and does all the holsting, drilling,
digging, etc, for the construction of
the dam.
The cement mill is located about
1900 feet from the dam site. and has
been equipped with all the most mod
