Water Investigations on Reservation
(By A. L. HARRIS.)

The investigation of the under
ground water conditions of the lands
of the Colorado River Indian reser-
walton was begun by the State Land
Department in the springer 1915, and
continued. excepting a few short in
terruptions, for about one year.
The total funds available for the
work have amounted to $75O0.0 90,

two installments by the Second state

port the whole amount has nearly
all been expended in exploratory
work.

much information as possible with
the funds authorized, ON the subject
OF reclaiming the arabic lands of the
reservation by securing water sup

liances
This was done and work at once

sembled and a test well was under
way when suspension of work from
May is, to July 12, 1915, resulted
from uncertainty of the state auditor
as to the status of the appropriation.
During this time the state land de-
partment was reorganized and the
work resumed and finishhed under

commissioners. During this time there
has been large amount of data
