 until January 17th bids for the con- 

 struction of an earth and gravel dam 

 to be known as the Patillas Dam, and 

 appurtenant structures near the town 

 of Patillas, Porto Rico. The cost of 

 this work is estimated at $500,OOQ 

 Bids for the construction of 6,000 feet 

 of tunnel in connection with this proj- 

 ect will be received later. Cost of 

 the tunnel work is estimated at $1,- 

 200,000. 



Assistant State Engineer Ralph D. 

 Goodrich has tendered his resignation 

 to State Engineer Clarence T. Johns- 

 ton of Wyoming, and will be succeed- 

 ed by J. F. Kingston of Casper. Mr. 

 Goodrich has accepted the position of 

 chief engineer for the company which 

 is constructing the vast Oregan Basin 

 project in northern Wyoming. This 

 project is the largest ever undertaken 

 in the state, and will reclaim 300,000 

 acres of land with water from the Sho- 

 shone river. 



It is reported that incorporation 

 papers for the Truckee-California Ir- 

 rigation Company will soon be filed 

 in Nevada. Capitalization will be 

 $3,000,000, and O. B. Burgland of 

 Gunnison will be president, with W. 

 E. Tollestrup of Salt Lake City as 

 secretary. Salt Lake Capital is said 

 to be interested. By expending about 

 $500.000 near Reno the company ex- 

 pects to water land north of that city. 

 A dam will be constructed on the 

 Truckee river below Independence 

 creek, and water will be carried for 

 twenty-one miles through pipe and 

 tunnel. The engineers estimate the 

 cost of canals, tunnels, reservoirs and 

 dams at $500,000. 



SIPHON ACROSS THE COLO- 

 RADO. 



The sum of $150,000 has been 

 authorized by the Reclamation Serv- 

 ice to take up immediately the con- 

 struction of a siphon across the Colo- 

 rado river to supply water to lands 

 in the vicinity of Yuma, Ariz. 



This siphon is one of the important 

 engineering features in connection 

 with the Yuma project. In connects 

 with the main canal on the California 

 side at a point opposite and a short 

 distance below Yuma, and will con- 

 vey 1,390 cubic feet of water per sec- 

 ond at a mean velocity of 9 feet per 

 second under the river. Its total 

 length is approximately 1,000 feet and 

 its internal diameter 14 feet. It will 

 be built of reinforced concrete, and 

 will be laid in a tunnel passing 

 through the bed rock under the 

 stream. 



At the outlet of the siphon on the 

 Arizona side, power is to be devel- 

 oped in the near future which will be 

 utilized to lift water to the rich lands 

 on the Yuma mesa.
