PIPE SNOW TO DESERT
Arid Wastes Of Arizona Trans.
formed by Engineer.
Charles Il. Spencer Found Hidden va.
ter Supply From San Fran.
cisco Peaks.

Phoenix, Ariz.-Solving a problem
that for years had puzzled the great
est engineers of the country, Charles
II. Spencer has brought billions Of gal
Ions of water to the arid lands Of Ari.
zpna. The water comes from an I'M
derground flow on the snow.capped
San Francisco mountains. The noun
tains, 1851 feet above sea level, are
Of volcanic origin. and the total pre-
cipitation is equal to nine and one
half billion gallons q year.
Irrigation experts had sought for
years to solve the problem Of saving
this water, which was going to waste,
and which, when turned on Arizona's
deserts, would mean millions Of acres
available for USE. Mr.. Spencer spent
four years searching through the
mountains. making careful tests and
examining the rock formations.
His tireless labors were rewarded
when he discovered a rim Of dacite ce-
ment, which carried the water to the
stratums below. He found that by
piercing these lower stratums he could
reach the underground flow, and in
the spring of 1918 he filled the first Of
his reservoirs, Crater lake, with, $780,
100000 gallons Of water of true un-
%derground flow.
Mr.. Spencer used seven extinct
