Will be the largest Dam

The United States Geological sur vey, which has charge of the extensive reclamation projects in the west and southwest, says that the sight of the busy little town of Roosevelt, in Arizo- na. will be flooded in about three years, It is estimated that l72 feet of water will cover it in 1908. But as a result 25O,OOO acres of land near Phoenix will become available for ag- riculture. Work has been in progress there for about year, but men are laboring now, night and day, in order that no more than three additional years may be consumed in the work. At the time of it's completion the dam will probably be the largest in the world.
 It should be explained that the town of Roosevelt is only a workmen's camp. and was destined to be only temporary place of residence Its in- habitants were collected there to help along the gigantic Salt river reclama- ton project, which will cost over S3,- 100000, The engineering problems con -ected with the work are great. Before the dam could be commenced eighty miles of road had to be con- structed. Most of the material has to be brought from Globe, the railway station, which is forty miles away. The power canal, which is we'll under way. Its construction has involved the exca- vation of about 6OO,OOO cubic yards of material and the driving of nearly 1000 feet of tunnel. The canal will furnish power to generate electricity to operate all the works.

WILL HURRY PLAN
Officers of Railroad and Development
 Company Meet and Consult

Engineers Long, Carrillo and Casey of the Southern Pacific company, who went to Imperial Heading Sunday in company with Messrs. Redwood, Cory, Heffernan and Russell of the California Development company, re- turned the same evening, leaving the California Development company men on the ground. MT. Long returned to San Francisco yesterday morning leaving Messrs. CariIlo and Cory at Yuma to organize party of surveyors and proceed to lay out railroad track that is to be built from the main line of the Southern Pacific to the Mexican intake.
 The other members of the party of surveyors arrived from California Sunday night and yesterday afternoon went down on the Steamer Search light. The railroad officials say that the work of grading for the spur track will begin in three or four days.
 Indication are that the heads of the California Development company do not intend to waste days time in pushing the work of turning the river back to the old channel. The method used will be in general the same as heretofore, but the work will be on larger scale. It is said that in the work of damming the Mexican intake with willow mats the water will be turned through both the the concrete headgate at Hanlon's and the wooden gate at the Mexican intake. It is thought that it may be found neces- sary to dam the river at Hanlon's, forcing all of the water through the concrete gate, then dam the Mexican intake and afterwards cut away the dam at Hanlon's.
 Practically the entire river is now running through the Mexican intake and at the point where the attempt was made to build dam last autumn the stream is now more than 4OOO feet wide. though it is probably not more than seventeen feet deep. The discharge is decreasing rapidly and in few days these measurements will be much reduced.-Yuma Sun.

ment used in the preliminary work cost $5.34 a barrel, delivered at the point where it was used. Bids were later received for furnishing cement at $4.8l a barrel. It will cost the gov ernment $l.6O a barrel to make the cement on the ground If the cost of the plant, $l2O,OOO, be added to the cost of the 100000 barrels of cement required. the total cost of the govern ment cement will still be only $22O a barrel, or a saving of S522,OOO on the entire work.
 After the dam ard canals have been completed the cement plant will still be capable of further use, and consid- erabe salvage may doubtless be realiz- ed The cement mill is now in opera ton. The fuel used in burning cement in the kins is crude petroleum from the California oil fields.-The Seattle Ranch.

Closing the Intake

Preparations are now under way for the final gigantic effort to close the lower intake of the Imperial canal and divert the Colorado river back into its old channel. The necessary supplies are now being transported to the base of operations, the steamer Searchlight having made the first trip with a cargo of material last Thursday Work on the big dredger is progressing, and all will be in readiness by the time the river is low enough to allow the work ing out of the plans. This will prob ably be about the first of September.
 Nothing is being left undone to carry out what appears to be feasible plan, that of turning the river at low stage through the 2OO-foot headgate. then damming the break and turning the river back into its old course.
 In the coming struggle the Califor- nia Development company will have behind it not only the resources of the Southern Pacific company, but also the aid of the United States govern ment The officers of the reclamation service. fearing that the continued flow of the river in its present course means the undermining of the Laguna dam, being constructed at an enormous ex- pense. have rendered the use of teams and supplies to the C. D. Go. for as- slstance in this work The intake be- ing in foreign territory, the reclama- tion service cannot enter Mexico in an official way, but can lend their assist ance in this manner. Every indication points to success Yuma Sentinel.

was at least three-fourths of mile west of Calexico. Last Tuesday we went up the river to where the over pour was then and found it grinding away in the hard formation where the railroad track crosses the old New riv- CT channel mile beyond Mexicali. Here the clay is very hard and the riv- CT was making very little progress.
 The volume of water coming down New river is also rapidly decreasing. There are two reasons for this. One is the fact that the total discharge of the Colorado river has decreased at least one half within the past week and the other is the cutting back of the channel that runs out by Signal noun tain. This last channel must be cut ting very fast for we could see clouds of dust rising out in the overflowed country south of Calexico. Nothing could cause this but the caving banks of this new channel for nearly all that country is still under water. Last Tuesday this dust cloud was very much in evidence at a point almost due south of Calexico. From these indications it looked as if this channel would reach the New river channel several miles above Mexicali. Indeed it is possible it may have already done so. If this should be the case the volume of water in New river will decrease rapidly, the cutting out of the banks will cease, Ca lexico will be safe and also it will be only small matter to restore the can al system of Water company No. 6 and supply them with water from Sharp's heading the same as they have been in the past. Since Tuesday there has been no further damage at Calexico and only very little dirt has been carried away at Mexicali, the volume of water has declined and the danger appears to be all passed.
 The Southern Pacific have taken up their tracks in the old yards and torn down the depot preparatory to moving 1t elsewhere. It is likely they will es- tabllsh their yards on the east side of CaIexico. Ii is stated by some that they will move mile or so east but we'll informed people deny this. How ever, their move makes it necessary for the Imperial Grain and Milling Go. to move their warehouse, which they are now preparing to do.
 The next week will probably witness such a fall in the water volume as to remove all possibility of further damage to CaIexico even should the other channel not tap the flood above Mext- cali and carry it all through its chan nel around by Signal mountain.
