| PHOENIX, April 6. (P-After match
ing and overcoming the natural ele-
! ments of four continents and the At
lantic ocean, the Santa Maria, NAM
moth hydro -monoplane, in which
| Commander Francesca De Pinedo
hoped to accomplish the remarkable
feat of crossing thousands of miles
/ of land, tonight is charred wreckage,
the result of a carelessly started fire
while the ship was moored on Lake
Roosevelt, which in reality is an ar
| tificial body of water, minute com
pared with the Atlantic ocean, the
Mediterranean Sea and other vast
bodies of water over which the ship
had safely passed.
Roosevelt lake, IS miles due east
of Phoenix, nestles in natural basins
formerly beds of the Tonto and Salt
rivers, between the Mazatzol and
Sierra Ancha ranges. Until compile
tion of the Elephant Butte dam it
was the largest artificial body of
water on the North American con-
tinent, having an extreme length at
. capacity of 80 miles and extreme
width of about two miles.
Although served by a well main
tanned hard surfaced road, the lake
is in an isolated section of. Arizona.
Globe, 38 miles away, is the nearest
point of communication. But a single
private telephone line connects it
with Phoenix and the outside world,
this line being the property of the
Salt River Valley Water Users as
sociation. The lake is formed by the
Roosevelt dam, concrete structure
that rises 268 feet above the stream
bed, constructed in box canyon just
below the junction of the two streams.
AT the present time the lake has a
height of 185 feet as compared with
a maximum height of 240 feet.
Immediately behind the dam the
lake has width of about $50 to 500
feet. Then it broadens out and ex-
tends for distance of 16 miles up
the former stream bed of the Tonto.
In the other direction it stretches for
a distance of about Is miles.
Apache Lodge, near where De Pi-
nedo landed today. is situated on a
point on the north side of the lake.
A deep channel cuts through the
lake at this point, affording probably
the safest landing for type of sea-
plane such as used by the italian
birdman.
Landings on other portions of the
lake will likely be more hazardous
because of tree tops and brush that,
in periods of comparative low water
come near the surface.
The lake bed was a rich grazing
section prior to the construction of
the Roosevelt dam and the north end
of it was the southern extremity of
Tonto Basin made famous by Zane
Grey, novelist.

FIREWORKS DISPLAY NEAR TOWN FARM
Spot Being Considered for Ex,
 hibition on July 4

An open stretch Of land near the town farm is being considered as the spot for the municipal fireworks display this year, since the use Of Walnut Hill park has been discon- tinued and Stanley Quarter park was not entirely satisfactory last year. In the event that this loca- ton Is not regarded as satisfactory, the display may be shown in two parts. one in Stanley Quarter park and the other in Willow Brook park.
 Parking inconvenience are the chief difficulty. It is the belief of members of the public amusements commission and the park board that the town farm property would over come this difficulty and would also eliminate the heavy damage to the park which results from the use by thousands on the night Of the dis play.
