Overtaxed by the flood waters from
the head OF Bob Creek and of the
hills 10 the vicinity of the Cudahy
ranch. northwest of Ord way, the Bob
Creek reservoir dam bursted early
Wednesday morning flooding hundreds
OF acres Of irrigated land along the
Bob Greek basin and east to Ordway.

burst 10 the vicinity of the Cudahy
ranch, the reservoirs were filled to
overfiowing, and when the dam broke
on the Bob Creek reservoir the full
force of that big body OF water was
sent sweeping over the lands to the
south, banking against the Missouri
Pacific railroad grade where 1t WAS
held in check until IL gradually found
Its way out through the too few water
outlets under the tracks. All day
Wednesday the public highways from
Crdway west were regular canals and
the roads east and south were about
as bad. Many fields we're either sub
merged or partly under water. while
Bob Greek was river of considerable
proportions for several hours follow

ed by water, barns were flooded and
some hogs and considerable poultry

unquestionably be heavy, but the loss

a whole, than many tlrst believed.
The flooding OF farm lands was the
result Of the breaking Of the Bob
Creek reservoir, and had the Colorado
canal been dry practically the same
overhowinR would have resulted.

This was where much waters found

MINE DEVELOPMENT MEANS LOWER
 TAXES
President of American Mining Con- ercss, Luncheon Guest, Says Mines Are Not Found But Are Made by Capital.

Western mining resources for west ern people, was the keynote of the speech made by J. F. Callbreath, sec retary of the American Mining con gress at luncheon at the Santa Rita hotel in Tucson yesterday noon, tendered him and J. H. Robinson, sec retary of the Arizona Chapter of the congress, by the Tucson division of the organization. Julius Kruttsch- nitt, Jr., presiding at the luncheon. The mining resources of the west ern states, he urged, were just as much the property of the western peo- of Boston and New York City. He brought out the point that the devel- opnent of mines in the west resulted in the reduction of personal taxes for the inhabitants, and urged that mines were not found" but were made" by the expenditure of large amounts of capital and labor.
 Mining Station.
 III TeSdru UO Ine IOcdIlOn Ol IHe proposed mining experiment station in Tucson, he asked that he be not required to give an indorsement to any one city in advance, but instead that his efforts be directed to getting the appropriation for the establish ment of the proposed stations from congress, after which the question of location could be settled.
 In introducing Mi. Callbreath, MT. Robinson called him the father of the American Mining congress- and one of the pioneers of the safety first movement.
 The state chapter, MT. Robinson said in his talk, has now 475 members and IS working hard to promote the welfare of the mining industry and the introduction of outside capital. All the principal ci-ies of the state, he declared, had been started on min irg money, and two-thirds of the mon ey from taxation was dependent on that industry.
 He paid high tribuate to Prof Chas.. F. Willis for his work in secur- ing recognition of the mining indus try i'll an appropriation for the pro posed University school of mines building to the amount of $75,OOO.
