t lowering of the water level, }s tract is one of i6, acre tracts acq.dred.
under the Pu,izona Land Settlerent ssociatton in 1923. At that time a domeetiø well
was drilled by the State on each tract. In the last several ysas, nea:ly every one
of tneue wells has had to be lowered as the water l.vøl has decUned steadily.
Thinks this situation is having ooatderibio effect on production., especially on
y%1ds of bay. 3tates that the old eyet of miners inches to the quarer section
or en day turn on water runs, is not at all practical uflder present conditions.
This is espcinl1y true in hi situation as hvir small fields, be wants to irrigate
thets whenever the cattle are moved off and finds that under the 1resent arrengenents,
water on 24 hr. dli is mast pr'acttc4. Is opposd t any development of the Terde
River which may re.I.aat unfavorably to the water supply of this project.
