Irrigation. It was once assumed that 

 irrigation was not practised by thelndians 

 of the arid region, excepttoavery limited 

 extent, until after they came under the 

 influence of Spanish missionaries; but 

 recent systematic study of the archeologic 

 remains intheS. \V. hasremovedalldoubt 

 that agriculture was conducted in prehis- 

 toric times with the aid of extensive irri- 

 gation canals, reservoirs, and dams. The 

 most important of these works are in the 

 valleys of the Gila and its tributaries, in 

 s. Arizona, wherescoresof milesof ditclies 

 are still traceable, in instances extending 

 more than 10 m. from the stream from 

 which the water was diverted; according 

 to some observers there are individual 

 canals that traverse a total distance of 25 

 m. In the Salt River valley alone it is 

 estimated that from 200,000 to 250,000 

 acres were mnde available for cultivation 

 by means of irrigation before the arrival 

 of white men. Some of the ancient canals 

 were about 7 ft deep and 4 ft wide at 

 the bottom, but the sides sloped grad-
