 The volume of water at the heads 0 . the various catchment basins is grad ually diminishing. The lower Salt the San Pedro, the Santa Cruz, tn Santa Rita, the San Francisco, the Ri Santa Maria, the Hassayampa, the uI per Agua Fria and Verde rivers con tain more or less small pools of slow ly running water. The Gila contain quite a large flow of water. The Col orado still remains at flood stages The rapidly melting snowfall over tn San Francisco range is causing tn lower Little Colorado to rise rapidly Stock water upon the ranges and des ert lands is failing fast. Recent meas urements at the intakes, leading froI the rivers to the different canal sy: tens, show several thousands of incl es of flowing water less than the prt ceding week. Water was served, i sufficient quantities. within all of tn smaller canals and laterals nearly tn
