RESERVOIR PROJECT IN THE CASTLE DOME MOUNTAINS
 RECLAIMS A VAST DESERT

In country where water is as pre- cious as gold, and in many instances more valuable than all of the yellow metal that will ever be mined, the work that has just been completed by the New King of Arizona Mining Co.,, in the Castle Dome mountains, is con- sidered to be one of the biggest recla- nation feats ever accomplished in Yuma county outside of government work.
 The Castle Dome mountains are in the center of waterless desert. The mountains are famous for their rich ness. Two mines at least have made their holders wealth-the North Stal and the King of Arizona. Heretofore because of the lack of water, mining was precarious occupation in the Castle Domes, and rich ore had to be discarded because of the lack of the fluid. Rich properties have lain idl, because there has not been sufficient water in the mountains to work them.
 When the King of Arizona mine was purchased and reorganized some time ago by eastern capitalists, one of the first things done by the new com pany was to try to solve the water problem. Water had to be hauled to the mine over mountainous roads in barrels. The cost of the water when it arrived on the property was so very great as the cost of gasoline in Yuma today. To work with such water was we'll night impossible.
 The New King of Arizona found a short-distance from their mine a nat ural rock reservoir. In time of flood the reservoir would fill with water, but in a short time it would run off into the desert and be wasted. The management, across the outlet erected a dam thirty feet high, which will hold back sufficient water to SUD- ply the mines of that immediate dis trict through the greatest drouth When the reservoir is completed, what was once a waterless waste will be a square mile of water. The reservoir is more than a mile and half long and will have depth of nearly thirty feet.
 The dam will reclaim approximately 5000 acres of range land. It the past it has been impossible to range cattle in the Castle Dome mountains because of the scarcity of water There are no running streams and all of the natural tanks and reservoirs dry up during the long, hot months of summer. Now it is possible to run a herd of 25,0O0 cattle in that part of the Castle Domes.
 The dam is 3,200 feet above the sea level, or nearly three thousand feet above Yuma. It is three thousand feet above the mine, and all waters used from it can be carried to the mines by gravity. A foot rise at the dam will mean the addition of 209,- 5000 gallons of water.
 There will be no question of keeping the reservoir full. The summer rains in the mountains will be sufficient for all purposes.

RAILROAD WAGES
 AND THE PUBLIC

Walker D. Hines has just announced that another increase in pay has been granted the men in the train service of the roads under government con- trol, amounting to $65,000,00 year, or total of nearly a billion since the Adamson bill was passed. No one will begrudge the engine and trainmen the high rate of pay granted them, unless it be some of the less well paid employees, who may be envious of the success of their thoroughly organized brethren. The public, however, must foot the bill. February reports, un- officially tabulated showed decrease in net operating revenue at the rate of $150, ,000,000 year under last years experience. As the final net deficit in operating revenue for 1918 was $214 ,000, 900, the indications are that for the current year, unless marked change in business conditions trans pires, it will be close to 0,00O, 900. Add this to the $750, ,000, 900 appropri- ationasked for the roads, and the net cost to the people for the second yea of government management of the railroads will approximate $1,120, ,000,- 900, which is some load for even the wealthiest country in the world to carry. Private ownership could not support such drain, and it is ques- tionable if the people will long want to put up with such plan. The pres ident washed his hands of the prob lem in December, and the Democratic Congress passed it along to the incom- ing Republicans, who will have here the knottiest of all reconstruction questions.-Omaha Bee.

TWO-STORY SHEEP SHEDS

Enormous sheep sheds two stories high and built of concrete, have re- gently been completed in the stock yards at Denver, Colorado. The ca- pacity of the pens is 10000. These are asserted to be the largest sheep sheds in the United States, and their facilities establish the city's claim to the honor of third place among the sheep markets of the world, although it is but 50 years since the first set clement appeared there. Sheep re- ceipts during 1918 amounted to 34,119 cars, and Colorado itself has over two million these animals. The total cost of the new sheds was 00,000.-Pop- ular Mechanics.

WILL FENCE 1Os,OOO ACRES
 LAND EAST OF HOLBROOK

Frank J. Brundage, whose home is in Farmerville, near Visalia, Cal, ar rived in town on Monday for the pur- pose of starting operations in build- ing a fence around an immense pas ture of 10S,000 acres 30 miles east of Holbrook which he owns or controls. About half of it is state land which he has under lease.
 The country in that vicinity is fine for cows, there being plenty of good grass and brush, and the protection of the fence will prevent the cattle which roam the free range from spoil ing it. The fence will be built under contract by J. Farley Richards and will cost about $250 a mile.-Holbrook News.

THAT BREEZY WESTERN WAY

They were playing poker in a west ern town. One of the players was a stranger, and was getting nice trim ming. Finally, the sucker saw one of the players give himself three aces from the bottom of the pack.
 The sucker turned to the man be- side him and said:
 Did you see that?"
 "See what?" asked the man.
 "Why, that fellow dealt himself three aces from the bottom of the deck" said the sucker.
 "Well, what about it?" asked the man. "It was his deal; wasn't it?"

COUNTY HOWE : |S SOUGHT FOR :
 DEL|NQUENTS
County Officials to Inspect the
 Site Offered in Douglas;
 Seeks Bid From BiSbee; to Erect Home to Cost $20,0O0

Looking for a possible site for a home for the delinquent youths of Cochise county, A. C. Lockwood, su perior judge; Sheriff Mcdonald and I. c. E. Adams, chairman of the board of supervisors, are going to Douglas today to confer with the chamber Of commerce of that city, which has all ready made a bid for the. home. The expenditure to be made by the coun- ty is from $15,OOO to S2O,OOO.
 Although Douglas was first in the field to get the proposed home, Su- pepervisor Adams expressed the hope yesterday that Bisbee will at least attempt to have the home To- cated here.
 The proposal of the county to erect such an institution has called forth the following letter of commendation from B. Causeys director of the so- cial disease bureau for the states:
 q note, with considerable satisfac- tion, that the board of supervisors has under advisement the establish ment of home for the delinquent youths of Cochise county.
 "If permissible, wish to express my hearty approval of this move, and to urge that you do not let the added expense to the tax payers that will be entailed thereby influence you so much, as the great benefits the coun- ty will derive from such an institu- tion.
 'The caring for the delinquent youth is one of the most important questions that confront us today viewed from social, economic and public health stand points From the delinquent youths prostitutes, thugs and murderers obtain their re- cruits jails, penitentiaries, asylums and poor houses are kept filled, and the health of our people is constant ly menaced. Therefore, let's lose no time in providing home where these unfortunates will be restrain ed, educated, given necessary medi. cal care and surround them with other influences as will tend to re claim them. By so doing we, will in large per cent or cases make good citizens of them instead of per mitting them to become a burden on the state and menace to society.
 'In the state of Texas, where an intensive campaign is being waged against prostitution and social dis eases, eighty per cent of the prosti tutes are found to be between the age of IA and IS years. am per suaded that the, same conditions ea | ist in Arizona.
 q am hoping that Cochise county will take the lead in establishing g home for her delinquent youths as she has in many other worthy causes and thus set the pace for other coun ties in the state"

DR. BLEDSOE |S
 LOCAL OFFICIAL
 FOR ROAD RACE
Will Have Full Charge When
 Racers, Fl PaSO to Phoenix Classic, Stop Over in BiSbee
 for Night; Purse of $12,OOO

That Dr. N c. Bledsoe, council man and head of the c & A. hospital staff, has been named the official representative of the Automobile Trades and Highways department of the chamber of commerce of Fl Paso in the coming road race from Fl Paso to Phoenix. was announced yesterday. Dr. Bledsoe will have complete charge of the night control at Bis bee. where the racers will spend the night.
 In previous races Joe Gray, secre- tary of the Bisbee Commercial club has always been in charge of the control, but MT Gray is at present in Honolulu, and Dr. Bledsoe is chosen to succeed him.
 Is Third Race
 The coming event will be the third race to be run between Fl Paso and Phoenix and in all probability it will be a record breaker in every respect, Plans are already on foot to make it an annual affair, and it is probable that a trophy cup will be offered to stimulate interest in future events.
 Several automobile loads of Fl Paso automobile men, and race boost CTS will make the trip to Phoenix by the latter part of the month, ana probably will be joined at Phoenix by party of Phoenix men. The pur- pose of the trip will be to assist the cities en route to subscribe their end of the purse, and to advertise the race. Much interest it already mani fest throughout the southwest and when the racers pass over the course the road will be lined with sightseers and spectators throughout the great CT part of it's length.
 Purse May Be $12,ooo
 The Warren District Auto Club at Risbee has guaranteed $1,000 toward the prize purse This with the sums already raised by the Automobile Trades Department of the El Paso Chamber of Commerce and the State Fair Association of Arizona, makes a total guarantee to date of $6,OOe, with Phoenix. Douglas and Tucson vet to hear. from. With the entry fees. it is probable that the total purse will exceed $12,0O0, which com pares very favorable with the $6,lOO and s7,1OO of former races,
