q Splendid Water Supply.

Monday THE OASIS man went out to the dam site of the Nogales Water Company with Mir. Ephraim, president of the corporation, to in spect the source of supply on the Sonora side of the line, and there saw quite a lake of clear. pellucid water, as fine as any mountain water anywhere. The deep exca- vation made to bed rock across the throat of a caion, for the purpose of constructing a submerged dam, has entirely filled with water, making lakelet couple of hun dred feet long, forty or fifty feet wide and forty feet deep. The coffer dam put in to hold the earth holds the sides and ends of the pool from caving. Down the cai1on flows fine stream of water, sufficient in volume to supply a city of 25,000 people, which dis charges into the pool at one end, and an outlet at the other permits flow of the water not taken up by the pipes to convey to town.
 In contemplating the stream now flowing the observer can see at once what the dam will do, when it is completed, to conserve n supply of water. With the dam across the throat of the caiion.a the flow now going away can be held until needed; and it will give an abundant supply for a much larger town. When the great flow of water now coming is checked up, which will be probably some time next year. the dam will be finish ed, and then the flow from an i'm mense water shed, many square miles in extent, will be conserved and utilized.
 The wants and needs of the growing town, and the abundant water supply assured, make the 4t06alSo WdhCA cyaNCui EVod plop erty; and those who have recently purchased stock in the Nogales Water Company will find they have good investment. The stock pays already a dividend of one per cent month from the net earnings, and can and will pay more. This THE OASIS knows from a personal examination of the books.
 The books, which are always open to inspection by any stock holder or any subscriber to the company, show that there have been paid thirty-fve dividends.
