INTAKE CHANNEL
GRADUALLY FILLING
New Dredser of Enormous Capacity,
Completed at Yuma and Floated
Down the River Yesterday.

DR.. J. c. Norton returned home Wed
nesday from Yuma and also from the
Imperial intake, where the big opera
/ tiOns for the turning of the Colorado
river are under way.
The bypass that was formerly con-
| trOlled by the lockwood gate that was
washed out some time ago, he says is
now practically filled up. There is lit
if any water going through it, and the
channel seems to be permanently and
solidly filed.
I The operations are now centered very
largely on the big channel across which
the mat dam is in course of construc-
ton. At either end of the dam is a
considerable length OF solid structure
through which the water cannot pass,
but in the center is a channel $50 feet
wide, through which the water is pour
ing like mill race. There are two
trestles across this channel and trains
are constantly dumping big loads of
rock into the gulf on either side of
each trestle. While the rock is all sub
merged, yet its effect is apparent by
the raising of the stream In this chan
mel. The dumping at the two ends
rather than the center, is carefully
avoided, for it is the plan to raise the
entire width OF this channel uniformly.
so no part of the work will be exposed
to more pressure than another. The
! purpose seems to be to conquer the riv-
er now by main force rather than
strategy. When the rock is piled suf-
ficiently high from these two trestles
| the area between the rock dumps will
also be filled with rock and heavy rock
! placed on the top of it all. This enor-
/ nous rock heap it is believed, will be
so big and heavy the water can have
no effect against it. The engineers
: propose to head the stream even if it
! is necessary to dump a whole mountain
/ in it.
/ The new dredger for use at the in
take, that was ordered by Col. Ran
/ dolph several months ago, has just
! been constructed at Yuma and was to
have been taken down the river yes
! terday. 1t is a magnificent machine
with a bucket that holds five cubic
yards of dirt as it is ordinarily scooped
up. but on which a great deal more
could be piled in favorable circumstan-
, ces. The capacity of this dredger is
said to be 1900 yards a day. but it is
claimed that it can handle considerably
/ more. The crane is AS feet long with
! a sweep of 125 feet in each direction.
/ For illustration, suppose the dredger
were planted in an alley in any Phoenix
block, it could pick up dirt in one
street and deposit it in another One
of the chief purposes of this dredger
is to excavate the channel that is to be
cut between the river and the new
canal head some distance above the
present scene OF trouble.

@. E. RUMER DIES
AT LOS ANGELES
An Attorney, Former Resident of Phoe-
nix, and Well Known in the Terri
tory.

Word was received in the city yes
terday of the death at Los Angeles on
October %, of o. Z. Runner, for a long
time a resident of Phoenix. Mr.. Runner
came here from St. Joseph, Mo, about
twelve years ago. He had been a
practicing attorney at St. Joseph for
several years, but failing health made
his removal to a more favorable climate
necessary and he decided at the same
time to abandon his profession. Soon
after his arrival in this territory he
became interested in mining and Sc
cured properties in Yavapai county
and elsewhere in the territory. About
ten years ago he moved to Los Angeles
He frequently revisited the territory on
business.
There was an improvement in his
health after he came into the south
west, and there were hopes that he
would recover from his malady. A
year ago he began to go backward
and soon hope that he might get well
was abandoned. He was taken to the
hospital of the Good Samaritan, where
he died.
Mr.. Runner was forty-two years of
age and "a native OF Illinois. He was
well liked by all who knew him. He
was a member of the University Meth
odist church at Los Angeles.
