Discovers New Natural Bridge.

With a span of 274 feet and more than 300 feet high a natural bridge, said to be the largest known has been discovered by members of the Utah Archaeological society. who have returned from an expedition along the Colorado river in northern Arizona and southern Utah. The bridge is located four miles north of the Colorado river. On its top were found fossils of re, markable size. indicating the pres ence in earlier times of giant ani- nal life. Photographs and a col lection of rare pottery and baskets used by the cliff dwellers centuries ago were trophies of the expedi tion.

NO SURVEY NORTH CANYON
Fredonia in an Unsurveyed District Survey may be made by Land Office.

A new thing has been brought to the attention of the office of the surveyor general. a town of some age and some size in this territory, on unsurveyed land. It frequently happens that town or settlement springs up suddenly on the public domain, but about the time it starts and often before. the inhabi- tants begin importuning the gov ernment for a survey. But in this case the government officials found the town and its inhabitants resting in a sort of apathy regarding suv- reys and titles to property. The discovered town is Fredonia in the extreme northern part of the terri tory not far from the Utah line. A representative of Special lnspec- tor Dezendorf's office yesterday se- cured from the office of the sur veyor general the necessary appli- cation blanks for a survey. In due time the application of the citizens of Fredonia for townsite will be received.
 There has never been survey of any part of the public domain north of the Grand Canyon and Jack Adams of the surveyor gener- al's office is already worrying about how the Gila and Salt river base and meridian is to be carried across that great gash in the surface of the earth. He suggests that the matter be allowed to rest until the aeroplane business is little better developed Phoenix Republican.

EXTENSIVE AUTOMOBILE TRIP.
Weather Man and Family Make Tour of Yosemite and Other Interest
 ing California Points in Auto.

A. E.. Hackett, wife and daugh- ter, returned last Friday from their auto tour of California. They start ed with the machine from Los Angeles, with their son, Harold, as chief engineer, and travelled something over 2,ooo miles. From Los Angeles they followed the coast as far north as Salinas, where they crossed the mountains and entered the San Joaquin val ley. After two days in the valley, with the temperature somewhere above 100 degrees, they left the machine in shady place at Mer- ced and went by rail to the Yo- semite Valley, where they camped for a short time. MT. Hackett says the Yosemite Valley is one of Uncle Sans finest playgrounds, and we'll worth a visit. One can go by rail to the entrance to the park, and stage ride of IS miles takes one to the very heart of the valley. The valley is national park, patroled by troop of U. ;. cavalry, and there are accommo- dations to suit all classes and tastes. One can live at S4 .oo a day hotel, where the china and cut-glass are served in courses, or at tent camp where comfortable beds and excellent meals are fur nished at S2.oo per day; or they can rent a tent, spring beds, and camp outfit for nominal sum, and live the simple live in grove of pines and cedars on the banks of the Merced river. The floor of the valley is 1000 feet above sea level, and the summer climate there is second only to that of Flagstaff.
 From Yosemite MT. Hackett and family went north with their machine to Sacramento, from which point they made a side-trip to Lake Tahoe. This is consid- cred one of the finest auto trips in the state. The road follows the American river canyon for a dis tince of so miles and climbs to an elevation of 7,5oo feet, and in the whole distance there is hardly a place where one can see the road 200 yards ahead. Fast time cannot be made with safety, but the scenery is so fine that no one objects to going slow. Lake Ia hoe is a beautiful sheet of water, so blue that it looks almost black. The lake is B miles wide, 27 miles long and 2,ooo feet deep. Its surface is about 6,ooo feet above sea level.
 Returning from Tahoe the party visited San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose, crossed the Santa Cruz mountains to Santa Cruz and the grove of big trees near there, and then returned to the Santa Clara valley for a weeks visit with friends. The machine was left in charge of Harold, at Palo Alto, where he enters Leland Stanford University this fall, MT. and Mrs. Hackett and daughter returning to Flagstaff.
 MT. Hackett states that in the whole trip he saw only one place that he thought he could learn to like better than Flagstaff, and that was San Jose, in the Santa Clara valley. This valley is known the country over for its fine fruit, and. produces the larger part of Cali fornia's prune crop.

o.ero Dam Site Progress.

Last Sunday the contractor who is
completing the dam near Granite TOR
the otero Irrigation District broke all
records for the year by moving 1900
yards of earth-one-third more than
the daily average. At the present
rate OF progress it liz estimated that
1t will take thirty-one days to com
plete the dam. In order to be pre-
pared for a flood, however. the con-
tractor will make an effort to COM
plete the face of the dam four feet
above high water line by May 25th.
and he will be able to do SO il he
keeps up his present lick. The filling
in back of the face of the dam can
be done later On the first day OF
the present year there were $4,000
yards of earth to move to complete
the dam. During the present year
about 3s 900 yards have been handled,
leaving fill yet of 10000 yards. In
another month, at the present rate
of progress, the dam ought to be com
pleted.
