THE ARlltOlT A D AM DISASTER
Tho Walnut Groredam across
the Uaasnyaiupa, about forty miles
south of Prencott, was broken by
an Immense Hood on Saturday Inst.
The dmn was somo four hundred
feat long ut the top, about one
hundred feet high, and Is said to
have cost $800,000. It is n com
plete wreck, This saddest of all,
however, is in tho loss life. It (s
ascertained that at least forty mou
were killed or drownod.
Tho company's camp threo miles
below tho lower dam contained
about l2aporsons two weeks ago,
and there woro probably that
many in It at tho time It broke.
Fears aru entertained for their
lives. A oourltr who arrived ut
I'hunilr, says ho was nwnkenod
about 2 o'clock on Saturday
morning by tho shrieks of tho
people, Tho wnvo was fifty feet
high when ho first nw it and was
stiatkllng In tho darkness with
millions of phosphoric rays, mid
with a terriflo roar It almost, in
stantly swept nwny tents and
buildings. Tho canyon, which
was full of cottonwood trees, was
swopt out clean. Tho lower dam,
a structure- 230 feet long nud 00
foot oboTO bd rock, with 30 feet
above tho surface, was also swept
away. In a narrow nbova tho
dam, tho waters backed up n hun
dred feet high, nud with n crash
and t our rushed through tho nar
row gorge like lightning, clean
lug out tho last vestige ef every
thing vislblo, leaving tho bnro,
hard rocks.
This is n most uufortunnto
casualty. Asldo from tho loss of
life and of tho money Invested, It
will have n tondeuoy to dlscour-
ago investments in Ilk enter
prises hereafter, and is nolunllke-
ly to soriously retard nud iutorfero
with tho development of the
country.
