The site for the power plant is in Frye canyon, in the Graham mountains, six or seven miles from Stafford, and the water supply will be from a clear, cool mountain stream. Reservoirs will be built for the storage of water. The first reservoir, the excavation for which will be started next week will have capacity of from 90 to 100 million gallons. The electric plant, to commence with, will be of 500 horse power.
 Clifton Era: Along the line of the A. < N. M. Railway MT. o. J. Cotey, construction overseer has a force of forty men rebuilding all bridges and culverts with solid concrete abuttments, with the roadbed across them filled in and reinforced with gravel, thus cover. ing all the timber work and mak- ing all structures fire proof. These improvements extend along the entire line of road from H H4chita 10 Clifton and when completed will give the A. < N. NJ. the best and hardest roadbed of any railway in the south. west, and the immence heavy traf- fic of the road fully warrants the big expenditure of capital neces- sary for this work, as the Clifton Morenci district has a demand for more heavy freight than any other one section of Arizona.
 Yuma Sentinel: The Colorado river at Yuma is lower than it has been in many years. Yesterday the fourteen-foot mark was show ing on the gauge at the Southern Pacific bridge. Only about four thousand second feet is passing down the river, about one. half of which is required by the Imperial valley for irrigation purposes. With one or two exceptions the river is lower than it has been since the white man settled on it's banks. The river is so low that the scoop. wheel at the reclamation service has been idle for weeks and the pumping plant has to lift water double the height that it ordinarily should. All of which makes short water in the valley. There is yet due three months of low water before we can expect any flood waters from the upper watershed and in the meantime the river is likely to go lower than ever known,

The government charged that the
