COLORADO RIVER IS
 TO BE INTERRoGATEp
 IN NAME OF ARIZONA

PHOENIX, Aug. 17.-People of Ari- zona are at last on the way to defin- ite knowledge of what the Colorado river can do for this state.
 Heretofore people have been con- tent and even enthusiastic to build their dreams of a great future, 10 be derived from the river, on the basis of fine and alluring generalities-now they are going to know for certain in q businesslike way.
 Yesterday afternoon, the Arizona Engineering commission of the Colo rado ended a twoday session with W. s: Norviei, state water ccmmis- sioner. This commission now has before it the precise task of finding out and telling to the people of the state in plain words, what the ire mendous river to the north can ulti- mately amount to. Other posslblii- ties will be charted as well.
 Into this task. which the new com mission is undertaking, is to come all possible projects. The much talked of high line canal, all possible di- versions for irrigation purposes and all possible power, or dam sites, are to be brought under consideration
 All the piecemeal talk and plans are to be sifted, no matter how old and the sum total of the siftings set before the people to forever stand as a guide and mark of aspiration.

THE PAVING.

h a couple Of days more the pay ing contractors will have everything going smoothly, laying pavement at the maximum rate daily, Contractor Miller announced today. Just now the slowness of the drying process is holding back the work some. How ever. about seven or eight hundred feet will be open for motorists tomor- row morning. IL is an interesting sight for people who do not under stand the technical working of this style of paving to go out and watch it being laid It is known as asphaltic concrete and is laid rapidly and roll ed out smoothly.
 Then there appears to the inexper- fenced the thought that it is unfin- ished, but the engineers of the job will explain to the man who knows nothing about such work that this will become a finished job when the so-calied traffic ironing out" process is complete. In other words. the work takes on a more finished look when traffic has driven on it sufficiently.
 Many people have wondered how the edges are being taken care O. and when they see the procedure they simply say: "Oh. that's how they do it."
 In the meantime, the engineers on the job will be only too glad to ex plain the many advantageous points of this kind Of paving which promises to become very popular in Arizona be cause of it's durability and its econo mical cost

Chilson. of Tucson, formerly connected with the Arizona Bureau of Mines of the state university, and in ventor of the ore finding apparatus which while yet in its infancy, gives every indication of revolutionizing the mining industry. Mir. Chilson spent about two weeks rebuilding the Prospector's set, and while several minor changes in equipment are yet 10 be made. excellent results are be- ing obtained.
 | Conversations over the wireless phones between Los Angeles. beach resorts and Avalon can be heard as distinctly as over the local phone sys- | tenn. Vocal and instrumental music from different broadcasting stations is heard almost every evening. and also during the day when electrical storms are not playing about in the southwest.
 A Magnavox will soon be added to the equipment, which will enable a large number of people 10 enjoy the concerts.
 I About the middle of September or | first of October. static interference will be considerably reduced, and dur , ing the winter months is entirely ab. sent
 [ When the Magnavox, or loud speaker" is installed and in operation the public of Tombstone will be in. vited to listen in" on the concerts, as well as the gossip" as the fair ones at Avalon. Catalina Island, touch Dad for more coin over the radio phone.
