Rip-rap operations in the Anacostia
river, which were begun nearly two
months ago in connection with the
reclamation of the Anacostia flats, have
progressed rapidly, so the extent OF the
work is plainly noticeable now. The
dumping of the rip-rap stone into the
stream is going on at present close to
the Anacostia bridge, and the whole
outline of the work has been laid out
by the depositing of such material
from Poplar Point to Anacostia, a dis
tance of almost one mile.
The section of the project on which
work'is proceeding is the last one that
will be necessary to complete the recla-
nation of the flats between Giesboro
and Anacostia.
The managers of the work, which is
being done by the Columbia Granite
and Dredging Company of Washing
ton, say they will deposit the rip-rap
material at the rate Of 5000 tons each
month. They believe their portion Of
the work will be completed about the
end Of September. Then the Govern
ment will build the sea wall on top
OF the rip-rap work and behind this
wall the material from the river Will
be pumped and retained.

ARTEsIAN WATER
DEVELOPED ON THE VERDE


Arrivals from jerome yesterday
bring the important news that artesian
water was struck in the Verde valley
few days ago on the ranch Of Thos
Taylor, superintendent Of smeltcrs Of
the United Verde Copper company, at
the depth Of 100 feet. The flow was
ten inches, and from the moment the
gushcr reached the surface there has
been no diminishing Of the volume
since the bore was withdrawn.
This makes the third artesian well
determined in that section OF the
Verde valley, and has caused consider.
able excitement. II Is generally adj.
mitted now that the zone where the
first two wells are extends down the
valley. The water bubbling from Mr..
Taylor's well will irrigate about fifty
five acres Of land on minimum
basis Of expense. His lands adjoin
those of David Scott, who was the
first TO prove the existence Of an
artesian flow, and whose two wells
have been running mt a normal vol.
ume from the day they were develop.
ed mp to the present time. The Tay.
Tor well IL about, one mile back from
the river, and in contour where
river irrigation Is impractieable.
Adjoining is the ranch Of Harry
Dicus, who IL sinking well, with
strong Indications that he will also
strike an artesian flow. Others are
Preparing to drill, and the general
superstition Is that before the end OF
the coming year nrtesian water will
be developed at scores of places and
the uplands Of the valley will be rc.
claimed.
Land locators have filed upon prac.
tically every foot Of ground lying in
the foothills of the Verde range and
many are preparing to begin boring.
The possibility OF thousands Of acres
of fertile lands being reclaimed is
quite an incentive to all farmers TO
get busy.
