STATIONS COMPLETED.
For Pumping Water ON The North
Side High Land.

The contractors have practically
completed their work on the three
pumping stations in course of erection
near Miner, Hazelton and Eden. The
pumps and motors have all been sci
and electricians are now making the
proper connections and water will be
flowing over the high lands in those
sections by April LIST.
On Friday of last week contracts
were let for the erection of two more
of those stations which will be located
in closer proximity to Jerome, and the
North Side Construction Co., were the
successful bidders in both instances.
The plans for these stations conform
closely to the buildings already erect
ed, except as regards size and capa-
city. The larger of the buildings will
be located at a point about miles
east and one mile north of Jerome
and known as Big Sugar Loaf This
building will be rectangular in shape
and equipped with six large centrifu-
gal pumps, driven by an equal number
of electric motors of 100 horse power
each.
Another building of smaller dim
ensions equipped with three pumps,
will be located about eight miles
northeast of town near the Jerome
reservoir and adjoining the Newman
ranch, on what is known as Little
Sugar Loaf.
These buildings will both be of
brick, with concrete steel trusses, one
story high, with concrete construction
below the floor line. 1t will require
upwards of $50 tons of material for
the construction of these buildings,
all Of which will necessarily have to

RIMS OEAKORGOZZEW RE02ZE

1t is the cliff dwellings proper, or the
ruins of the cliffs or canyons, that are
by far the most interesting and the
source of the greatest speculation and
wonder. Maj. Powell, United States
geologist, expresses his surprise at
seeing nothing for whole days but
perpendicular cliffs, everywhere rid
died with human habitations which re-
semble the cells of a honey comb more
than anything else" Unlike the low
land or valley ruins the walls OF the
cliff dwellings were constructed almost
entirely of stone cut to shape, we'll laid
and joints properly broken. Being UNI
acquainted with the use Of lime, they
replaced it with a mixture OF clay and
cinders and sometimes charcoal, often
colored to match the stone and to-day
on this mortar the marks Of the tools
used and even of the fingers of the
workmen are plainly discernible 1t is
truly wonderful to note how well this
peculiar people turned the decaying
canyon walls into account. By the
natural crumbling and falling away OF
the softer strata, caves OF all shapes
and dimensions were formed which,
when partitioned off into rooms and
the opening walled up, formed an
adobe safe from fire, storm or flood;
warm in winter, cool in summer; but
more than all a fortress behind which
the lord and master of this aerial man
sion could protect his family against a
horde.
A Great Palace.
1t is this style Of ruin that Is most
numerous, being scattered promiscu-
ously throughout the region; in caves
as above described, in the beds of can
yons, sufficiently elevated above high
water mark and on the open mesas;
in fact where one would least expect
to find human habitations, these mys-
terious relics confront US. A few con-
tain but single room, others, 10, 20
and as many as so, while the great
Palace of the Mancos originally en-
braced not less than 1000 rooms with
in it's walls. One on the Mesa Verde
covered an area of 100000 square feet
and contained 100000 cubic feet Of
masonry. Great skill was shown in
Joined the walls to the cliffs and in i'm
itating the coloring and aspect Of the
neighboring rocks, indeed, in certain
narrow gorges one must needs have a
good pair of eyes to detect them amid
their rugged surroundings. The win
dows and doors are small, the latter
being very narrow and rarely exceed
| ing fouG or five feet in height. This
has given rise to the opinion held by
some that the Cliff Dwellers~ were a
race of pygmies. But their mummif1ed
remains show them to have been OF
the ordinary stature.
The cave or cliff dwellers are found
from 200 to 500 feet above the bed Of
the stream Holmes mentions some
so high and we'll concealed that with
the aid of telescope they can hardly
be distinguished, from the surrounding
rocks Imagination Is lost In at
tempting to account for the means en-
ployed in conveying their construction
material and the every day necessities
of life to those lofty homes.
