THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



DEEPWELL IRRIGATION 



Is most economically and successfully 

 accomplished with 



"AMERICAN" DEEP WELL PUMPS 



For over 40 years they have been 

 the world's standard in this type 

 of a pump. The deepest wells in 

 America arc now pumped by these 

 pumps. 



The Americantrade mark on 

 a pump is a mark of known 

 quality. There's no experi- 

 menting, the pump can be 

 relied on to do all that is 

 claimed for it. 

 The"American" double act- 

 ing water cylinders deliver 

 full cylinder displacement 

 capacity both on the up- 

 stroke and the down-stroke. 

 Let us save you money on 

 your deep well pumping.

NEW MEXICO. 



Territorial Engineer Sullivan has approved the appli- 

 cation of the Bocas Irrigation Company of Albuquerque 

 for the water of the Abo Canon in the Manzanp moun- 

 tairs, for the reclamation of 20,000 acres of land just out- 

 side the Belen grant in the Rio Grande Valley, although 

 the waters of Abo canon are not tributary to the Rio 

 Grande. The project involves the construction of two 

 dams, creating reservoirs holding 20,000 acre feet. One 

 dam will be 85 feet high, 670 feet long on the top and 150 

 feet at the bottom. The other will be 94 feet high, 487 

 feet long on the top and 160 feet at the bottom. The 

 former will be of rubble masonry and the other of rein- 

 forced concrete. The estimated cost of this project is 

 $175,000.

 use.
