SOUNDINGS FOR
DAM PROJECT
BEING TAKEN
Preliminaries Incident to
the Construction of Big
Power Plant on the Colo
radO River Near Mouth of
Diamond Canyon Are I'm
der Way
CFrOm Sundays Daily Miner,


]. N. Conklin, with a force Of men,
is prospecting for bedrock in the
Grand Canyon near the mouth of Dia-
mond Canyon, where the big dam pro-
ject is to be built. A barge is anchor
ed in the river, on which is a diamond
drilling outfit that is taking sound
ings of the stream and to ascertain
the depth to the bedrock. At the
north side of the canyon bedrock was
found at depth of So feet, and on the
southside at II feet. The drill is now
being driven to bedrock near the mid
die of the river, where it is thought
that bedrock will be found at shallow
depth. The W. L. Clark Construction
company of New York is doing the
work, and will bid on the construction
of the dam.
The people in charge of the prelim-
mary work on this great project are
getting their supplies from Peach
Springs, which is easily reached by
automobile, the distance being but 21
miles. This is the nearest point to
the Grand Canyon from any place on
the railroad, and is one of the great
est scenic wonders of the whole can
yon. 1t is probable that hundreds of
people from California and northern
Arizona will visit the place before the
big dam begins to assume shape, al
though the dam will add to the beauty
of the place.

Indian divided it with school boy and
the two got beastly drunk. The mat

Ed. CUFF HELD
TO ANSWERF FOR
LACEY MURDER
[From Sundays Daily MinerI

From Sundays Daily Minerl
Ed Cuff was held to answer to the
superior court on charge of murder
by Justice of the Peace Smith yester-
day. DR.. 7. R. White, Deputy Sheriff
Archie Chamberlain, W. R. Carney,
Ed Walker, Mrs. Archie Chamberlain
and Mrs. L. C. Daniels were examined
as witnesses for the state.
A subpoenea was issued for Ed Bill
let as a witness for the defendant, but
the officers were unable to locate him.
1t is reported that Billet left Hack
berry as soon as possible after the
shooting last Wednesday, and no one
has heard of him since.
From the testimony introduced at
the examination yesterday it appears
that Cuff had five bottles of whiskey,
a pair of cuff buttons and stick pin
stolen from his room at the Carney
Castle rooming house in blackberry,
and was somewhat aggrieved over it.
He made it known to several people
that the things had been stolen and
that he did not care anything about
the whiskey, but that he wanted the
parties to return the stick pin and
cuff buttons or that he would ''blast"
them.
The evidence given by witnesses did
not show anything regarding any
trouble between Cuff and the deceased,
Lacey, but dying statement of Lacey
taken by Justice of the eace L. c.
Daniels of blackberry precinct was
submitted. It follows:
Statement of Jack Lacey, March
14-'17:
ED Cuff brought lot of booze into

That is what he told me this a. m. He

the laws punative agencies
should yield up their idle inmates
that they may join in the great

The small offenders could largely
be placed upon their own

strained for graver offenses
could be put to work where an
oversight could be kept Of them.
A ninety day jail sentence just

would go security and feed aid
work the offender. Such offenders
are usually Cur neighbors, or
almost always they are people

trust to faithfully serve out the
sentence given them. In fact,
the majority would prefer to do
so.
Empty the jails and put the
inmates to work. Quit asking

prisoner earn his keep and some
