YUMA STATION, ON COLORADO RIVER. 
This station is located at the Southern Pacific Railroad bridge across 
the Colorado River at Yuma, Ariz. Records have been kept here since 
April, 1878. The locality was examined by Mr. Arthur P. Davis on 
January 17, 1895. The observer is the bridge watchman at Yuma. The 
gaging station is about 700 feet distant from the watchman's house. 
The gage is fastened to a tall pile about 100 feet east of the north end 
of the bridge. It is vertical, is divided into feet and inches from about 
15 feet up, and at low water is dry, so that another gage, for low 
water, is placed on the west end of the southern pier, and can be read 
from the bank. Measurements of discharge were made from the same 
bridge. This is a fairly good cross section ordinarily, but at the time 
visited, on the above-named date, was broken up with false work for 
repairs then in progress. The computed discharge was 9,737 second- 
feet.
