' ' A petition has been forwarded to Wash ington asking for the pamg ot an .'set enabling Maricopa County, Arlsona. to Is sue bonds to the amount ot $2,600,000, a aum believed to be sufficient to provide for the project under contemplation. Tuesday a bill was sent to Arisona's delegate In Congress asking that 11,000,000 be given by the National Government te partially pay for the work. ' The site proposed for the great dam Is on the Salt River. In the mountains, about 60 miles northeast of Phoenix, at the. point where the river, leaving the Tonto Basin, enters a deep 'gorge In the olid rock. The gorge la but 200 feet, wide at the level of the stream, and for the first hundred feet upward the walls are perpendicular, In the preliminary recon aalssaace bedrock was located at an aver age depth of 25 feet belew the stream bed. It Is proposed' to build a masonry dam which will be 800 feet high above low water, and allowing for wasteways JO feet deep, will create a reservoir 180 feet deep. The dam will be 650 feet long on top. The wasteways on each side of the dam are calculated to pass, without overtop ping the dam, the greatest known .flood, that of 1881, when the discharge during part ot one day was equal to one-half ot that running over Niagara Falls. . The reservoir site, covering more than SO square miles, is likewise ideally locat ed by nature. Into this basin Is carried the runoff from a drainage area of nearly 6,000 square miles, most of which Is In the region of the greatest precipitation in the territory. Tho greater portion of this watershed ha a rainfall of IS to 20 Inches and upward annually. It requires but three and one-half Inches of depth of run off from this shed, or 20 per cent of 18 Inches of rainfall to produce 1,000,000 acre-feet- -The storage capacity of the reser voir Is limited only by the height of dam which It Is practicable to build, and the capacity of the reservoir which will be created by the dam projected will be stu- nendous no less than 757,000 acre-reei. m Is conservatively estimated that the 757,- 000 acre-feet thu stored will be ample for the Irrigation of considerably more than 500,000 acres of land.-Los Angeles Ex press.
