WATER Use
TELLS TALE
OF GROWTH
THREE YEARS RECORD IN
ADDITION
SIX CONSUMERS GROW TO SIX
HUNDRED
Many Extensions of Mains and New
Pumping Station for Doubling
Present Supply to Janss
Additions

The story of the water system of that
mart of Belvedere represented by the
Jams Investment company's additions is
tn story of the growth OF this region in
the past three years. In 1904, when the
conanany first opened a part of its 500
acre tract on Boyle Heights, the little
water system was maintained for the
benef1t of six families. At the end OF
1907 the system had been increased until
more than six hundred are on Its books
and this represented less than a 20 per
cent occupancy of the available land.
In order to keep pace with the growing
region the company has made abundant
extensions under the supervision of the
city water department and In compliance
with it's regulations. These extensions
have been so made that if the region is
added to the city's water system they
will be Immediately servleeable as a part
OF the general system.
The supply for the region is from 16-
inch wells $50 feet deep, and this is deliv-
cred to the users by pumping station.
This station is now being applied by the
expenditure of $4,000 by the company in
triplex $50 horsepower pumps, which de-
liver the output of the wells to a reser-
voir at an elevation of 1876 feet, whence
1t is delivered to the users by gravity
pressure. This delivery is by a pipe line
16 inches in diameter.
In simplifying the water facilities the
company has provided for more than
twice the present consumption.
The jams company reports December
business in it's several conditions unusu-
ally good. Sales during the month ag-
gregated $23,S6l. of which about three
fourths was sales of land to persons Of
moderate means, who are to build at
once. The picture on this page repre-
SCENTS a type of bungalow that is being
built numerously through the Belvedere
additions. 1t represents a total cost Of
S2600.

NEW FEDERAL FOREST
TO CONSERVE WATER
PRESIDENT CREATES NATIONAL
RESERVE IN ARIZONA
Vast Area of 5ush-covered Land in
Maricopa and Yavapal Counties
Now Under Protection of
Government

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE president
has Just signed a proclamation creating
the Verde Nationa; forest in Arizona.
This new national forest has an area OF
72l, $50 acres and is located in Maricopa
and Yavapai counties. 1t lies on the west
side of the Verde river and includes a
large portion of the watershed OF this
stream
Jerome, the hea quarters of the United
Verde Copper mine. is situated in the
northern part of this forest West and
southwest of Jerome are the Mingus
mountains.
There Is a small area Of commercial
forest which has been badly abused In
the past, but which, under proper man
agement. will furnish small local sup
ply of timber to the mining camp.
The greater part of the area of this
forest is covered with a growth Of brush
without commercial va.ue The protec-
ton Of this, however is JUST as import
ant as neavily-forested land. for as Is
the case in Southern California, this
scrubby growth Is the only thing that
conserves the water supply and protects
the watershed of the Verde river from
serious erosion.
Created Through Need
The creation of this new national forest
is considered necessary by the reclama-
tAcAA oNA Wv III the DeSl
of the reclamation act, and the water
shed has an impor tant relation to the
full development OF the irrigable lands
OF Sat- River valley.
In order that the rich lands ia this
part of Arisona be brought 70 their high
est development, the watershed of the
Verde river Will b protected from dam
age through wasteful numbering and over
grazing.
Many parts OF the forest have suffered
FROM over grading by large bands OF
goats, and the protection OF the brush
cover will prevent further erosion and In.
pairment OF the water supply.
The forest serN zee will by no means
prohibit grazing on this new Forest, but
win endeavor so TO regulate il that the
watershed of the Verde river viii not
be injured In this way an Important
source Of water, which converaes tcward
Salt river and its tributaries. viii be proc
teeted for the ultimate development u
the irrigated lands.
