From the DeIver News.

There is town in Arizona of tran
gient renown. Its founders knew that
-~fter a period of three years the spot on
which they builded would be ITO feet
under water. They knew that, they
never could hold title to the land; that
they were building there under suffer-
ance; that in the end their improve
ments would be forfeited, and that be-
fore they really began to feel at home
they would be unceremoniously turned
out. Yet they advisedly established
themselves and erected school and
hall for religious and other meetings,
provided water supply and sewerage,
secured stage lines and postoHlce
and went into business. Such action
was not as profigate as it might seem
to conservative eastern folk. There was
a demand for all these things, and the
work was done. The short period dur
ing which the town could exist was
merely detail, and evidently not OF
sufficient Importance to cause them tc
hesitate.
Away up in east-central Arizona
where the ld-time outlaw used to hide
from the wrath Of border law, there is
great basin, trimmed by high mountains
Thru the bottom Of it flow the waters
of Salt river and Tonic creek, the
streams meeting at the southern edge Of
the basin and emerging from it thru
canyon 700 feet deep in the Salt Rive
mountains. This canyon is the only
outlet Of the mountain roads and trails
Across it the engineers of the United
States reclamation service are con

structing what will be the highest dam
in the world, converting this basin into
an enormous artificial lake more than 20
miles long and with a maximum depth
Of 210 feet. The dam and appurtenant
enterprise that it was readily appreci-
ated that the country thereabout must
support q large population during the
construction period The nearest settle
ment is Globe, forty-three miles to the
east. Therefore, in the opinion Of those
western people, new town was justi-
fed. It is situated close to the dam
site upon the side Of the mountain,
where the land slopes off toward the
river.
When the government engineers first
entered the valley in the spring of 1901,
for the purpose of carrying on prelimi-
nary studies, the townsite was a dry
and dusty fiat, supporting only a few
stunted cacti and an occasional mes
quite. Near it's center were the rem
nants of one of the prehistoric mines SC
common in the southwest. AS a town
site it is not at all prepossessing. Its
location, however, is the logical one fol
construction camps, and was, therefore
selected by the engineers, who realized
that town would Inevitably spring uI
! during the progress Of the work. The
site was divided into two parts, thai
nearest the dam being reserved for the
use of the government, while the bal
ance was laid off in town lots.
The rules laid down for settlers were
simple and effective. The title to those
lots remains, Of course, in the govern

and so on, only one section being al
lowed on the floor at time. When a
dance is finished the ladies are left
standing in the center Of the room,
awaiting the advent of the next sec
ton: The arrangements, while peculiar,
are satisfactory. A light supper is
served and one simoleon pays for the
tag and the refreshments.
Standing with the disconsolate crowd
whose numbers are for the next dance,
one forgets the great outside world in
the scene before him. The violinist,
keeping time with his foot, calls the
figures Of the dance, as the couples
swing and whirl in the glare of the
lamplight. During the intervals be.
| tween dances one may hear the bang
bang! of the, Apache tom-tom. Hall
mile away from the village the abor
igines in their own camp are having
a dance. Across the ttdead line sep
arating private from government prop
erty glow the electric lights of the gov
eminent camp, and over all in the darl
| blue vault of the Arizona night fasl
innumerable stars, rivaling the electric
lights in brightness, and revealing il
dim outline the majestic mountains sur
