STATE OF ARIZONA,
FOURTH LEGISLATURE
SENATE JOINT MEMORIAL NO.
introduced by Senator Devine

TO THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNI
TED STATES OF AMERICA, IN
CONGRESS ASSEMBLED:
Your Memorialist, the Fourth Legis-
lature of the State of Arizona in regu.
lar session convened, respectfully rep
resents:
That in 1909 the Twenty-Fourth Leg.
islature Assembly of the then Terri
tory of Arizona did respectfully, but
earnestly call to the attention of His
Excellency, the President of the Unit
ed States, and the Honorable, the Sec
retary of the Interior, that the geologi-
cal survey of the United States, after
due and complete investigation, includ-
ing surveys, soundings for bedrock,
stream measurements and all other
work necessary to afford them full
knowledge of the feasibility and desir-
ability of constructing storage dam
on the ella river in the vicinity OF
the San Carlos Indian agency in Ari-
zcna, did report and declare:
That it was feasible to construct a
dam at said San Carlos reservoir site:
That such dam would impound 250.-
600 acre feet Of water and reclaim
10000 acres of land:
That the annual discharge OF the
ella river at said dam site was ample
to I'LL the reservoir in years Of mini
mum flow;
That in the Casa Grande Valley, the
first agricultural land to be reached
below the San Carlos reservoir, there
are 100000 acres of land which are ir-
rigable, level, gently sloping, and ad-
mirably conditioned for irrigation and
possessed of soil of unsurpassed fer
tility and endurance, capable of pro-
ducing in great abundance every va.
riety of agricultural and horticultural
crop known to the semi-tropical cli-
mates;
That the lands so reclaimed by the
San Carlos reservoir will support in
ease and luxury more than forty
thousand people and make homes for
5000 families, averaging five persons
to the family:
That the said San Carlos reservoir
would furnish 10000 electric horse
power and as said reservoir would be
in the heart of one Of the largest min
ing belts in Arizona rentals from said
electricity would more than pay the
cost of maintaining the reservoir;
That If the dam were made of a
greater height the storage capacity
would be 100000 acres feet, and that
such larger dam was feasible:
Your Memorialist further represents
that the report Of the Geological Sur
vey, setting forth in great detail, all
of the foregoing facts, was submitted
to and approved by the then secretary
Of the interior, and by him referred to

COPPER SALES OUTLOOK
Anything BUT PROMISING
General Lethargy in Market Reflected in
Local Conditions s-Foreign Sales Hang Up
Waiting Rejuvenation of Industry.

Boston.-The lethargy that for the
past six weeks has settled over the
copper market shows little signs of
lifting. Some casting copper has
changed hands at slightly under 20
cents per pound and electrolytic has
been sold at 81 cents, but the guam
titles have ben infinitesimal, with not
pound of prime Lake sold in the
first three weeks Of the new year.
Operations at nearly all the Ameri-
can and South American mines of
consequence have been or are about
to be curtailed, the curtailment run
ming from 25 per cent to As per cent
of recent output. Yet this has not
been in effect long enough to make an
impression on the market.
Total output from American refin-
cries last year was 1880, 100000 lbs,
with the production in November and
December greater than the three pre-
ceding months; indeed. December
showed an output of refined copper
that with the exception of July was
the greatest of any month last year.
In December, refineries operated at
92h per cent of capacity and the total
was 215, $4,000 lbs, against the years
average of less than 2O0,000,000 lbs.
In the current month, too, refined
copper output is expected to be at
top figures, for unless the eastern re-
fineries decide to curtail operations
and let the "raw" metal pile up in
their yards, they will be refining dur
ing January and part of February blis-
ter copper that came from western
mines in September and October OF
last year. =-s.. ,-s-

something like 36,OOO,OOO tons below
the amount necessary to run the in

The leaders of the United Mine
