concerning the condition of the con tractors work. It is only known that everything was under water and all that anybody could do was to guess. It was understood that the coffer dam, which was badly damaged in the flood of few weeks ago. was practically repaired. but it is likely it is all washed out again.
 Cave creek also got into the running again yesterday and for the first time since last spring really succeeded in attracting attention. However its antics were not uncommon nor of dam aging effect. The creek poured a big volume of water into the Arizona canal. but not so much but that the canal and laterals could handle il. It was reported yesterday afternoon that water was running in nearly all the laterals from the Cave creek road to the west end of the canal and that many farmers were giving their lands a fine irrigation, putting them in good con- dition for crop planting.
 R. H. Collins left for the Arizona head about 10 o'clock yesterday morn- ing. to be on the ground in the event there is anything he can do to avert possible damage to the canal. The breaks in the canal made a few weeks ago were both repaired and it is hoped the ditch VIII withstand this flood though it is surely large enough to en- danger the banks where the canal and river run side by side. Mir. Collins has large force of men and teams at hand however. and if there Is any oppor- tunity to take a stitch in time he will do SO

TROUBLESOME FLOODS
 IN SALT AND CHA
Largest Volume of Water Since Last Year. Three Million Inches Passing Phoenix. Cave Creek Playful.

The driZzling rains of the past few days, ending with the alI-Friday-n night storm, has given Salt river the most abundant supply Of water it has had for year, not excepting the big flood early this month. An exact measure ment could not be secured yesterday, but it was roughly estimated by the water experts of the valley that a little matter of 75,OOO second feet. or 3.0OO,- GOO inches, was going by Phoenix last night. and that amount of water won't be a little bit welcome down at the SaltOn intake, especially when it comes rolling along with the bridge destroy ing flood in the Gila.
 At Roosevelt there has been such a tearing up of the channel and former Eauging sites. and such a lack of data concerning the newer points of meas urement, that the actual volume can only be estimated until the engineers get more figures to work with. About all that can be learned from there then is the depth on the new gauge placed in the river below the big dam site. The readings there for Friday and up to II o'clock yesterday. the latest in formation, were as follows Tn feet: December 2S. 8 a. m.. 2.75; l p. m- BIO; 3 D. m., 4.50; 6 D. m-. 500; : D. m, 6.S0; 10 ?. m., $40: F p. m., 9.10 December %. ? a. m.. HOO; a. m. 12.6O; S:3O a. m., 1O.6O; 10 a. m., 11:OO; II a. m., HOP. As it was still raising a little at the last report it is supposed the crest of the flood was yet to come News from Fish creek was that it rained there all forenoon yesterday thIt the creek was booming and was st1cn five feet higher than it was during the early December flood
 It would appear that the Verde river was at its highest early yesterday morning but it maintained large vol ume all day. At Richins station at a. m. yesterday the Salt was carrying F feet of water and at 9 o'clock the Verde was carrying II feet. Late yes terday afternoon the Salt at the same point was carrying 1908 feet and the Verde 1O.O3 feet.
 The volume at Roosevelt yesterday was roughly estimated at 2.OO0OO0 inches. the Verde at S00.OOO and with other minor tributaries the total flow of the Salt last night could not have been far from 5000. 900 inches.
 Nothing was heard from Roosevelt

The finishing touches have been put on the office of the county treasurer, preparatory to the turning over of it on January 1. There was never a time when it was in such a shape, in the matter of the back tax books, which have been balanced to a cent. There are four of these books. the first bear ing the date of 1902. when the back tax law went into effect and which includes back taxes for the previous seventeen years. There is one for each year since to 1905. The books at the beginning were necessarily in a chaotic state and little order was af- terward brought out of them until re- gently.
