GREAT ARTEsrAN BASIN.

San Luis Valley, Colo, Described by

den water and the possibility OF it's de.

yey on the geologic and water resources
of the San Luis Valley, Colo, by G. K.
Siebenthal, presenting view OF the
geology ofNthe valley and describing its
surrounding rim and artesian basin,
should be of value to the inhabitants
of this large area, which approximates
in size the state Of Connecticut.
A topographic map which accompanies
this report shows large, almost fiat
prehistoric basin about $50 miles in ex-
tent north and south, and with great
est width OF about 50 miles, situated
mainly in Colorado, but extending about
Is miles into New Mexico. The San
Luis valley is, according to Mr.. Sieben-
thai, an almost ideal example of an
artesian basin, and the map mentioned
shows over 5000 flowing wells, yielding
water equal to 1856 second feet or prob
ably sufficient to irrigate $4,000 acres.
