(From Sundays Daily.)

Judge and Mrs William J. Henley
the last OF the visiting Indianans,
left the city yesterday for Phoenix,
where the former has mining affairs
10 look after in a meeting to be held
Monday, when they will return home
via San Francisco. Judge Henley is
one OF the heavy stockholders of the
Arizona land and Irrigation com
pany. and before leaving this section
was SO favorably impressed with the
country and the outlook of the above
project, that he deemed ii expedicnt
TO remain a few days longer to min
utcly consider every phase Of the
proposition. and incidentally eli
matte conditions.
The rains falling at this time Of
the year, with all creek beds and
small ravines carrying large vol
ume OF water. that will be conserved
by the storage dam on Willow
Creek, were convincing OF the back
bone OF the undertaking being as
sured and that the water shed to be
drawn on in future, years was re-
assuring of the essential commodity
being guaranteed from what was in
controvertibly proven in the vast
volume OF water that was passing
down the many channels.
In company with Col Thayer, he
visited yesterday Granite Creek in
the heart OF the city. and was as
founded 10 sec the amount Of water
that was running past, and which
will later be conserved by the com
pany dams Similar conditions were
in evidence at dozen other points
in the shed that the big dam will
catch. in short he was very much
surprised and agrecably so to ascer-
tain what a rain will produce in
Arizona, which is but faint con
ception OF what may be expected
when the summer downpours occur.
Judge Henley feels clatcd over the
future OF the undertaking, and will
return later. for a more extended
visit, He is prominently known In
the Hoosier State, and until recently
was chief justice Of the supreme
court of Indiana.
