the sec lrlng OF the site, some
$4,000 acres being necessary
for the government to acquire.
The general feeling here is
that the work Of construction
will proceed without Interrupt
ton. Members of the engi-
neerlng corps are known to
have received Instructions to
hasten their part Of the work
with all possible dispatch.
The government has been
prospecting for cement mate
rial, and it is now known that
there is excel cnt material
within two miles Of the site Of
the dam. The government
will make plans to erect its
own plant right at the dam
site.
The chief engineer of the
reclamation service is expect
ed here within the next month
to go over the entire ground
and determine a myriad Of de
tails preparatory to pushing
the work Of construction.
The great Engle or Elep-
hant Butte dam which forms
the largest and most costly
unit of the Rio Grande recla-
nation project i; es mated to
cost $1,000, 900. 1t will be
arohed up str cam on a six de-
gree curve to increase the
resistance against the pressure
of the water, and the length
Of the crest will be 1900 feet.
At river level the dam will be
400 feet long, it being situat-
ed at the mouth of a long,
deep. narrow canyon. Its
height from bedrock founda-
ton to the crest will be 27:5
feet.
Bedrock lies 65 feet below
the sandy bed Of the river,
and to get foundation for
the dam it will be necessary
to excavate to this depth and
to a width Of 200 feet, for the
concrete structure Of the dam
itself will be 10 feet vide at
the bottom.
When bedrock is reached
in the excavation, immense
holes will be drilled and blast
ed into the rock and steel pins
or shafts a foot or more in di-
ameter will be imbedded in
these holes in the rock at close
intervals and allowed to pro-
iect above the surface so as
to become an integral part of
the concrete structure and
prevent any possible tendency
of the great dam to slip on
its foundations with the tre-
mendous weight ofwater be-
hind it.

The Elephant Butte Dam.

Lhant Butte dam. says the
! New Mexican Of the 9th.
The first construction gang
numbering about twenty men
arrived this week and is now
at work excavating for the
eastern abutnent of the big
dam.
The fist work in line oil
construction will be to clear
away all loose and light mate
rial, sand, soil, gravel and
rock, from the neighborhood
Of the two ends Of theb big dam,
and get down to the n ,ked
solid rock; this is what the
Fl st gang is now engaged in.
Besides the construction
dam, there is a surveying
corps at work, numbering six
teen men. The surveyors
are making the final locations
for the dam, the spillway, and
the temporary tunnel through
which the rivermust be divert
ed during construction.
This tunnel is a detail Of
which little has been said
1t will be necessary to start at
a point we'll above the site of
the dam and carry an immense
tunnel a long distance through
the solid rock of the mountain
rim. having an outlet beloS
the dam site The tunnel
will carry the entire flow of
the Rio Grande during con-
struction, and will eventually
become one of the principal
outlets of the reservoir for lr-
rigation purposes. The re-
clamation service does as little
"dead work as possible, and
this tu mel will be planned for
permanent use as an outlet
for the river. 1t will be a
costly and time consuming
undertaking, but it is abso-
lutely necessary before the
dam proper can be begun.
Its understood that eftOrt:
will be made soon to secure
the extension Of a railroad tc
the dam site. The reclama'
ton service will go to work
Immediately to establish per
manent headquarters, for off
ces, living rooms Of employees
a commissary, etc. 1t will
take quite a town to accomo-
date the thousands of work
men who will be employed or
the work when everything i:
is underway.
The government isalso look,
ing into the matter OF roae
building and the engineers II
the field are completing the
details Of recconoisances al
ready made for a branch line
which will run from the dam
site to a connection with the
Santa Fe railrord.
1t is understood that the
bulk of the land for the reser-
voir has been acquired. Il
may take 90 days to complete

In l7s2 congress passed an act pro-
viding hat the president Of the senate
and after him the speaker Of the house
should succeed TO the presidency in case
that the president and vice president
should not be able to perform the duties
Of the office. When Vice President Hen
bricks died In lss3 1t was seen that the
death or the president would place the
government in the hands OF the republi-
cans though the people had voted that
the democrats should be in power for fou:
years. In January, 1855. congress passed
a new presidential succession act By
which after the president and vice presi-
