I'r'sldent Hlpley of the Atchlson Topeka
& Santa To railroad has let a contract for
the construction of two big dams of masonry
In the Arl/ona desert , a region which U
visited by ralrn but once n year , SIJH the *
San Kranclpco Chronicle These dams will
bo at the mouths of two c.uijona or gorges ,
twelve or eighteen miles distant from the
railroad , one of them the gorge In which the
cliff dwellers of a prehistoric age lived One
of the canjons 1 about COO feet wide at Its
mouth nnd the other about 300 , but the
walla of the latter are more precipitous
they are almost perpendicular the decline
from the mountain Is not RO sharp , and
cons"ciucntly It will hold nearly If not quite
a : much water Hach of these dams will
hold So000,000 gallons of water enough for
the company's use along the Arizona division
for plghtccn monthr Including lohtti by
evaporation and svepage The clams will be
forty feet high constructed of Handstolic
quarried near by and laid in I'ortlind ce
ment The orter face of the mahonry will
ho In the form 'f the letter S thus conform
ing to the natural fall of watei from Mich
a height and avoiding the wear and tear
of sudden precipitation Hctwrpn the two
dam < of masonry , which will be a long dis
tance apait , will be constructed a smaller
clam of Iron. . The cost of thin dam will bo
much leas In proportion than the Htone res-
ervolr-i. but It will not last nearl ) HO long ,
and IB to be put In as a comparative experi
ment The htono n-'ervoirH will cost about
$2iO,000 ! The Interest on this sum Is about
3T/i per cent of the present ct t of hauling
the water to the tanks which they will sup-
| d > . The water will bo piped from the rcj-
ervolrs to the tankti on the line of the road.

time , for moro than 2000 > ears. Twenty
barrels of the Arizona cinders have been
sent to Denmark , where the best Portland
cement In the world Is made This lot will
be tiled In the manufacture of cement and
If It should prove valuable works will be
established In Arlrona Chemists of the
eompiny will alt > o experiment with ten bai-
rols of the cinders at Topeka. \ heav > portion

transportation by Kt-a and rail of the con-
htructmn of the ptone res-ervolrs In Arboni
will be the I'ortland cement , which goes
from llelglum by sea to OalvttUon , and
