compftruction, commencing at. the San Felipe river,
opposite Round Mountain and bél<>w the lowest dam

contracted for are to be sixty-five miles in length.
. The Southern Construction Company has the contract,
and they have steam plows and shovels with' Which to
do the work, Beveral plows are at work at various
places along the line and the work is progressing rapid-
ly. The cost of the main canal will bé $18,000 per mile.
Several hundred men are at wdrk along this ditch; also
about two hundred men are at work in the Bio Grande
Valley, clearing up lands for irrigation and cultivation
next spring.
Other improvements in Del Rio Are a' $5,000 stone

' pany has also an eighteen foot dam, with ditches already
constructed one mile to the north of Del Rio and one
