CALIFORNIA-NEVADA RESERVOIRS. 

 By F. H. Newell, 



Hydrographer, U. S. Geological Survey. 



IN the recent report of the Secretary 

 of the Interior attention was directed 

 to the importance of national irrigation 

 works, and in particular reference was 

 made to three localities where construc- 



tion might be begun to advantage. 

 These were the San Carlos reservoir in 

 Arizona, the St. Mary reservoir and 

 diversion canal in northern Montana, 

 and the California- Nevada system. A
