vicinity of Rochester are taking great 

 interest in irrigation affairs and that 

 there is prospect of early installation 

 of pumping plants. 



One hundred and eighty-five thou- 

 sand acre-feet of water are now stored 

 behind the Roosevelt dam, Salt River 

 irrigation project, Ariz., and the 

 amount is increasing steadily, as the 

 Verde River has been supplying more 

 water than was needed for irrigation. 

 During January the contractors placed 

 6,500 cubic yards of masonry in the 

 dam, which is now 82 per cent com- 

 plete. One hundred and fifty feet of 

 the south end of the dam is at an ele- 

 vation of 228 feet, 200 feet is at an 

 elevation of 203 feet, and the lowest 

 point of the dam is 165 feet in eleva- 

 tion. The installation of the fifty- 

 eight inch valves at the intake of tun- 

 nel No. 2 is complete. 



Work has been temporarily sus- 

 pended on the Belle Fourche dam. 

 South Dakota, owing to the cold 

 weather. A large force of men is 

 employed by the contractors on the 

 Belle Fourche Valley Railroad, build- 

 ing bridges across Red Water and 

 Belle Fpurche Rivers, Owl Creek and 

 the Indian Creek laterals. This work 

 is so well advanced that there will be 

 no delay in laying the rails through 

 the government townsite as soon as 

 grading is completed early in the sum- 

 mer. A large quantity of material and 

 supplies has been assembled at Belle 

 Fourche and preparations are being 

 made to build a roundhouse there.
