Published in the Courier

Thrilling through this most remark
able story is the vibrant note Of the
romancy Of mystery. The strange light
of the true romance CLOVIS and breaks
over 1t in a. hundred quivering shades.
1t progresses in kind Of palpitation,
a fervor that intensifies absorbs and
envelopes. It's plot. so romantic, so mys-
FERROUS is made the more vivid, the
more fervent, because the curious
series Of events connected with the
house Of the Spanish woman and in
volvine murder, trial, and an es-
cape are viewed through the eyes of
an eager, passionate, lovable girl. The
impression OF her impersonality is
startlingly real and the whole book
leaps into life under its emotional
dominance,

MOTORISTS
 SPEEDWAY PROJECT

as easily constructed as one of lesser dimensions.
 Mir Clark says further that the proposition to establish the speed way is the results of the interest that is expressed among the 300 or more autoists in Phoenix, and many visitors that were present at the territorial fair. Many of these have heard of the admirable location here for the new speedway, and in the event of its creation hundreds of visitors are certain to come here annually. In addition manufactur- CTS of automobiles will be very anxious to send their machines in view of the fast and safe track and the possibility of establishing new records. The many cross country tourists, and those who annually visit the Grand Canyon, will send their machines to the speedway by rail, to enjoy the privileges of speeding in friendly contests.

WALNUT GROVE DAM
 IS TO BE REBUILT

Previous to making this sweep, ing order, over eighteen miles square of land in the vicinity of Morris town, near Hot Springs Junction was also withdrawn from entry which official action was significant ly linked later to the possibility of the government retaining that i'm mense area from the Walnut Grove water storage.
 While in the field MT. Wagner stated that from a gravity flow, this land eauld be reached by the water storage system of his company, and had not the government appreciated this condition, the company would probably have made a selection of the land.
 The Walnut Grove dam, at the time of its completion, was rated as one of the largest water storage sys- tems in the world. It was destroy ed on February p, 1890, following series of the heaviest rains that had ever been known in the country. At that time it had been in use less than two years. Over one hun dred lives were lost and only sixty three bodies recovered, the frightful mortality being due to the hour at which the embankment gave way, ? o'clock in the morning.
 The main storage was located in the lower end of Walnut Grove, with service dam on the Hassayampa, fifteen miles below. The upper works were of immense magnitude, having a height of l10 feet, with width of 40 feet. For a dis tance of one mile up the stream, the average depth of the water impOund- ed was sixty feet.
 The lower dam was of lesser di- mensions, and was connected with a system of fumes that were to be utilized in placer mining and farm ing purposes. It was said of this immense water system that lands be- low and in the vicinity of Congress Junction, with the intervening coun- try, could be irrigated, and this was one of the objects of the enterprise. The company also contemplated gen erating electrical power to operate quartz mines equipment and other machinery.
Weekly journal-miner., 1910-11-23
CFrom Fridays Daily)

Due to the arrival in Prescott, a few days ago, of E. c. Murphy, 8 civil engineer attached to the United States Geological Survey at Washington, rumor is in circulation that the rebuilding of the Walnut Grove dam is under consideration, and that its construction may be re- sumed at an early date. MT. Murphy stated before leaving for the site, a few days ago, that he was sent by the government to make a personal examination of the property, to as certain the amount of its storage ca paeity, and to secure other data on the project This move on the part of the government creates the belief that the negotiations entered into over a year ago for the taking over of this immense water storage en- terprise are about to be closed, pre- liminary to the resumption of Oper- ations.
 Mir. Murphy was in the city only a few days, and was unable to se- cure the data the government de- sires. After he makes a professional investigation at the site of the old dams, he will go to San Francisco, to consult with Luther Wagner, the chief engineer of the company. The latter assumed charge of the inter- ests of the company a few years ago, and has been in the field at diff late H. s. Van Buren, who owned a controlling interest in the corpora tion. Coineident with this move on the part of the government, last year and early this year, engineers of the Reclamation Service visited the site of this storage project, and it is believed their report led to the taking over, under option, by the government, of the enterprise. A snort time after the investigation was made, all land lying between the dam site and tht mouth of the canyon below, for distance of over twenty-five miles, was withdrawn from entry. Included in this order was also patented land owned by the Walnut Grove Water Storage company, the site of the former lake.
