FACTS ABOUT WATER IN THE
 SUI PIPER SPRINGS VALLEY

than when the whole supply must be pumped. Except at a few places pumping has not been fairly tested in Sulphur Springs valley, but date showing the expense of pumping by gasoline engines near Tucson, Ariz.. indicate a cost to the farmer oper- ating his own plan of s25 to $46 an acre year, using abuot 1 acre feet of water. with lifts less than 70 feet Ali this cost pumped water cannot be used exclusively. but it may be employed to supplement rainfall.
 Ultimately, through cooperative pumping association, 1t may be found possible to pump much more cheapiy by means of large central
 ler stations, transmission lines and distributed walls.
 A few flowing wells have been obtained in both the northern and southern part of the valley, but none of them has sufficient head or flow to be of much practical value One of the deepest wells in the val ley was drillel on log ground at the Copper Queen shelter, in Dougla lt was 1,OS5 feet deep, and passef
 
 sand and gravel. such as ordinarily constitute the valley i'll. In this well a flow was obtained when the drill reached a depth of S96 feet, but the water did not rise high enough to be promising for irrigation.
 A few wells in the vicinity of Will COX penetrate a bed of dense, dark clay or shale lying at some depth below the ordinary valley fill. The deepest wells have entered this clay for a distance of 200 feet, but none has passed entirely through it. Such a bed. if widely distributed, might serve as an artesian cover for un- deriving water bearing materials. Whether water-bearing materials are present below the clay bed. and whether, if present, they would give rise to flowing wells of economic value, can be determined only by drilling. The prospects are too m certain to warrant deep drilling by any settler of ordinary means. but as the underground waters are of vita importance in the agricultural devel opment of the region, the community as a whole can afford to sink a vel of a sufficient depth to make the test. Drilling should not be con tinued.' however, after granite, DOT phyTiy or other bedrock is reached In order to have reasonable pros poets of success the well should bt located on land where the depth tC water is not very great. but in or der to make the test of the mos practical value. it should te To eater outside of the zone of alkal soil.
 ! A fall report Of this investigation will be published for free distribution by the United States Geological Sur yey and the Arizona Experiment sta ton as soon as practicable after the completion oi field work, probably some time within the year. An an nouncement will be made through the newspaper as soon as the report is pr.nted.

the valley have been developed at Douglas. According to a reported test covering three weeks the 296- foot well at the c. &.A smelte- yields. by the application of an air lft a continuous stream of about HOO gallons a minute.
 The most favorable area for IT. rfgating with well water is not ,n the nIusE -sparts of the slopes. where the water level Is far below the surface. nor on the low tracts in the center of the valley, wnere the ground water is so near the surface that injurious amounts Of aikali have accumulated. but in the intermediate zone. The low cen tral tracts. where the vegetation consists of salt grass and other alkaliresistant plants, and where white crnsts' of salt or patches oi black alkali form at the surface should not be cultivated. But out side of these tracts lies a large area of good soil in which the depth to water is not great, and the water fs in general of excellent quality.
 Pumping for irrigation is prob ably practicable for considerable areas of land, where ground water lies within fifty feet of the surface. At some favored points. where the lift is moderate and where the soil ia good. the ground water may per haps be pumped and used as an or dinary irrigating supply; but With small plans, costly fuel and imper- feet farming methods this kind of pumping will usually be found too expensive. Without doubt the most advantageous use of pumped water is to supplement the rainfall con served and utilized by dry-farming methods. or instarce the summer rains, beginning usually in July. are not early enough 10 start a crop of corn in time to harvest before frost. By planting and irri- gating the seed in May. however. corn may be so far advanced by the time the summer rains begin that 1t will then easily mature. Sim ilarly, it may be found that a pre- liminary irrigation in the dry fall months will so greatly advance the growth of the winter crons-such as wheat, barley and certain vege- tables that the winter rainfall will carry them nearly or quite to maturity.
 By means of a small pumping plant water may be stored in earth reservoirs for weeks or months in advance of planting and when needed sent through fuuows across the fields These irrigated furrows should then be cultivated level and the soil mulch maintained until planting time, when seed furrows should be carried down to moist. ure and planted with tomatoes corn. sorghum, beans and other ' crops. This method has been used : eXperimenJally in the valley with notable success
 Where only a part of the waters for crop is thus supplied at critical times. higher costs may be borne

An exploring party that traversed southeastern Arizona in 1855, to find a route for a transcontinentai railroad camped for few days at Croton Springs in Sulphur Springs valley which was then known as Playa re las Pimas. In the same year the Mexican boundary survey was carried through this region. but apparently the surveying party, iI, crossing the south end of the val ley, found no watering place. After
 1872. when the wariike Indians were partly brought under subjec- tion. the valley was occupied by cattle ranchers. Within the last few years 1t has been invaded by a large number of homeseeksrs, who. with remarkable faith, have estab- iished themselves on the desert where 1t has so long been assumed that agriculture of any sort would be impossible. Some have come intending to apply dry-faTming methods; others expect to irrigate with water from wells; still others hope to use the storm waters which at irregular intervals are poured fin great volume across the valley. All find themselves surrounded by strange conditions and all are re- quired to solve new and unfamiliar problems. Inevitably, under such conditions, there will be many cost ly mistakes and some failures. The settlers realize this keenly. and are desirous of obtaining advice and guidance. In view of this ur- gent need the United States Geo. logical survey and the Arizona Az ricultural Experiment station have undertaken a cooperative inyesti- gation of the ground waters of the valley and their availability for ir- rigation This investigation was be- gun in September. 1910. and will bo completed during the coming spring and summer. Professor R. H. Forbes. who represents the Terri torial Experiment station. and Mir. O. F.. Meinzer. who has been the Geological Surveys representative in the work. join in the following statement of the results thus far apparent:
 ! The Sulphur Springs valley is ninety miles long, and comprises an area of about 1.SO0 square miles, ! hut throughout it's extent there Is not a single permanent stream. X large part of it. however, cons 'sts of rich soil that srequires only the application of water to make lt capable Of producing bountc1us crops.
 | The valley Is underlain to a great 1 depth by gravel sand and clay, washed from the surrounding noun | tains. The flood waters that from time to time pour into the valley have saturated the beds of sand and gravel. which thus contain a great store of ground water thai can readily be lifted to the sur face. The prevalent theory that the
 water comes from some distant source through an underground river has TO foundation in fact, Thus far the largest supplies in
