the big Roosevelt dam, sixty miles
further up the river.
The Roosevelt dam is 3SS feet high
from the deepest point to the top and
will keep back water giving 200 feet
depth at the dam. and is supposed TO
hold seven million acre-feet of wa
ter. According to the present rate
of rainfall il will take about six
years to fill the vast reservoir back of
this dam.
The Granite Reef dam is 900 feet
long between the gates to the two
canals and its purpose is not to i'm
pound water to any great extent. but
to divert the rainfall above as II may
occur. flowing down the Salt river.
and also to distribute the waters
from the Roosevelt dam, diverting
this mighty volume from either side
of the Granite Reef dam. These

MAIL TO COME
ON MIDLAND
TO CITY

Grand Junction is now to receive
mail daily from the east on the Colo
rado Midland train No. 103, which
gets in here at about noon each day.
This will be matter for rejoicing
owing to the fact that the regular
mail train from the east, Rio Grande
No. 3. has been running from two
to FIVE hours late every day for sew
eral months past. while the Midland
has been getting in nearly on time
almost every day.
\ dispatch this afternoon to The
Sentinel from Denver says:
The government has closed CON
tracts with the Colorado Midland
whereby that railroad will establish
mail service on its trains between
Denver and Grand Junction and viii
shorten the time four or five hours
between these points.
The announcement does not mean
that the contracts have been trans
ferred to the Midland from the Rio
Grande. but that the service is an adj
ditional one and for the purpose of
increasing the facilities for handling
state mails.
The new service takes the mail
from Denver for Grand Junction at
1880 pm. and brings the mails into
this city at s O'Clock every morning.
instead of 12:45 as at present.
