LARGEST IN WORLD


Through the consolidation of sew
eral irrigation Companies in Colorado,
arrangements have been completed
for the construction of the largest
dam iu the world at point nine
miles northwest Of Denver. j. G.
White & Co., Of New York, who
will build the dam, as well as auxil-
larry works, state that it will have a
length OF nearly mile and a quar-
ter, a height of $50 feet and will
contain 10000, 900 cubic yards of
material
The colossal size of this latest
creation of engineering skill will be
realized when it is compared with
the new Croton dam in New York
City water supply system, which
contains less than 1000, 900 cubic
yards, and with the great Roosevelt
irrigation dam in Arizona, the larg-
est of many big ones being built by
the government, which contains only
$50, 900 cubic yards.
The Stanley dam, as the new
structure will be known, will i'm
pound 1000, 900, 900 cubic feet of
water, a capacity sufficient for the
regular irrigation of more than 100,
900 acres of land. The flow of five
rivers on the eastern slope OF the
rockies will be confined in the great
reservoir which the dam will form.
The dam aud auxiliary systems,
thus far projected for collecting and
distributing the water, will cost up
ward of -, 900, 900, and although
the project constitutes the greatest
irrigation development yet advanced
by private enterprlsein this country.
