It Is a mater of general interest to prospective applicants for the survey of public lands that Congress annual lv appropriates the approximate sum of S40O,0OO for the survey and re- survey of the public lands of the United States. which sum Is appor- toned among thirteen western states and territories according to the re quirements of these respective dis triets.
 Under existing law, the expendi- ture of the annual appropriation for public surveys is restricted, first, to lands occupied in whole or in part bv actual settlers on the public do- main. and. second, to lands adapted to agriculture. It will therefore be seen that the applications of actual bona fide settlers will be given pre- ference in the matter of authorizing the surveys of townships, payable from this regular annual apprOpria, tion. and that applications by per, sons not actually residing on their claims. such as desert land claimants for the survey of public lands includ- inc their claims will receive consider ation only after the demands of ae- tual settlers on other lands have been recognized. and provided the fund annually apportiOned for each dis triet has not been exhausted.
 In making application for the sur vey of public lands. the applicant should carefully determine. as neal as practicable. the approximate see tion, township and range in whief his claim is located and he should describe in detail all Improvements which he has made on his claim.
 The application of one actual bona fide resident in a township, wner' there are no other settlers, will bt sufficient to secure the survey ot twelve sections of that township; tho applications of two such resident set i tiers will secure the survey of twen tv-four sections: and the applications of three such settlers will secure | the survey of thirty-siX sections 1T order to include their claims. II i would be advisable for each appli ] cant to have two .r more settler' who are living within the township make similar applications for survey as the government prefers to surve, all of the agricultural and grazin, lands within a township in the frs instance in order to avoid the addi tional expenses that would be incl dent to the survey of portions of tha
 township at different times.
 Public land surveys whose cost i

 propriation, when authorized by th

 Office. are made without cost to tn

CASE ID BE HEARD IN
 K|NGMAN
(From Sundays Daily.)

At the term of court which con venes in Kingman on April 1, the celebrated case of the territory against Dempsey B. Powell, will be called for trial, his attorneys secur ing change of venue from this county to MOhave at a recent term of the district court in this city. Powell was indicted for the murder of Dewitt Milligan, his brother-in- law, on Cherry Creek, in October of 1909, and after his ease was pre- sented to the grand jury at the No vember term, the charge was ignored. A later investigation was had, and a true bill returned. Since that time various delays have taken place in bringing the accused to trial, until the November term of last year, when change of venue was granted. The trial at Kingman will be attended with very heavy expense to this county, and nearly fifty witnesses have been subpoenOed. Deputy Sheriff ]. P. Gideon, of Mohave county, while in tne city yesterday, states that he has been travelling over the territory for several weeks, in an endeavor to locate those who are desired as wit nesses, and left last night for the other counties of the north, where many witnesses reside. Powell is out on bail, and is. residing at present in Coconino county. Attorneys of this city, in speaking yesterday of the case. state that before it is con eluded, the expense to Yavapai county will reach the sum of at least S20,- ] GOO.

ROOSEVELT DEDICATES GREAT
 DAM THAT BEARS HIS NAME
Touches Button That Opens the Greatest
 Reclamation Project in United States

The valley. it is said, will become one of the richest agricultural valleys in the world. Crops can be raised 12 months in the year. It is estimated by c. J. Blanchard, statistieian for the Reclamation Service, that one full crop from this valley will equal more than the entire cost of the irrigation works. He declared that land that was not worth one cent per acre be- fore the project was built, since it's completion has risen in value from $100 to $1,000 an acre.
 The six massive gates of iron, which will control the outlet of the waters of the dam, each weigh 10.- 900 pounds. They measure 4 feet 9 inches wide by ten feet high. They are divided into three Irregular" and three emergency' gates; the latter to be used only in cases of extreme floods
 The original town of Roosevelt, which was built by the people who went to the dam to work, now lies under about 220 feet of water. Its successor has been built higher upon the mountain slope.
 The government road, which it was necessary to build before work on the dam could be begun, was guarded today for every mile of it's length to provide against any possible mis- hap. It was cut for a greater part of its length, out of solid rock, and skits the edge of preeipiees at dizzy heiOhts.

largest storage dam of its kind in the United States. and with one ex- eeption the largest in the world. It is exceeded in size only by the As scuan dam on the River Nile.
 There are 336,000 cubic yards of masonry in the dam, according to the records of the Reclamation Ser vice. and 34O,00O barrels of cement, manufactured from material found in the vicinity, were used in its build ing. The structure is of sandstone and cement and rises 2S4 feet above the river. It is 1,Os0 feet long on top and TO foot thick at its base. An acre of ground is covered by the foundation alone Running along the top, which is the length of about two city blocks, is a roadway 20 feet wide.
 The dam forms a reservoir 9 miles long. and more than 200 feet deep. Its capacity is approximately 56,62S,- 100000 cubic feet, or, according to the offices of the Reclamation Ser vice. enough water to submerge the state of Delaware in water one foot deep.
 The waters from the dam will be used to irrigate about 250,000 acres of land in the Salt River valley. Af- ter the water leaves the dam, and before it reaches. the point where 1t is to be used, it flows a distance of about sixty miles. It is then distrib- uted throughout the land to be irri- gated by means of a diversion dam.

ROOSEVELT, Ariz., March 1s.- Standing on top of the great storage dam, which bears his name, former President Theodore Roosevelt, press ed an electric button, which set in motion a mass of grinding machinery which in turn raised three of the six massive iron gates weighing 6,00O pounds apiece at 5:4S o'clock this afternoon By this act he off cially opened the Roosevelt storage dam, a part of the Salt River irriga- tion project.
 The motors, which raise the gates, had hardly begun to turn before three raging torrents of water came rushing through the three openings at different levels and ran madly down the valley, where, after racing fully sixty miles, it will be used in Etiie Irrigation of about 250,000 acres of land.
 Colonel Roosevelt opened his address by saying that his first serious work as President was to take up the ir- rigation projects of the West as an administration policy. It was a mat ter of choosing between the doing of this great work by Uncle Sam or a private enterprise, which could only be done by private enterprise by the establishment of private monop- olies, hence ne favored the former

County Assessor T. F.. Campbell re turned yesterday from Peoples Valley, Walnut Grove and other sections Of the county on official duties. and speaks encouragingly of general con ditiOns in farming, stock raising and mining. He visited the camp of the Mines Development Co. at Zonia and is deeply impressed with that enter prise and the energetic methods in evidence in exploring that interest, saying that the place is alive with activity and the exploration is con ducted with practical knowledge from a mining standpoint. Mir. Kumpke is the general manager and employs force of twenty-five miners. Two churn drills are steadily at work.

course. He pointed out the chief difficulty was educating the West to a knowledge of the national policy of the development of the arid and semi-arid lands of the West through irrigation. He said he looked upon the reclamation work and the Panama canal as the two great achievements of his administration. He got the first through congress and got the second through congress tagging a little behind. In this regard had to choose between recommending it in congress to be debated, in which case congress would still be debating, with the canal half a century or so, in the future and the taking pos session of Panama, stating the canal, and said Roosevelt.
 "Thus I forced congress to debate with me instead of the eanal." And they decided to do the latter and the debate over me has been carried on with great spirit by the newspapers to this day to which so long as it pleases them I have no objection.
 The exercises ended with a grand illumination, when Miss Ethel Roose- welt touched the button and turned on the lights.
 The dam has been about five years in building. The foundation was sur veyed May 13, 1904. The first stone was laid September 20, 1906, and the last stone was placed in position in the parapet walls February 6, 1911. The structure is declared to be the
