Elephant Butte Dam Dedication Described in New Mexico
Las Cruces reports the Elephant Butte dam dedication set for October 14. The structure is the United States reclamation service’s largest masonry project, 610000 cubic yards of rubble and stone, 1250 feet across canyon and nearly 1500 feet with spillways. The reservoir will hold 862.2 billion gallons, 45 miles long and six miles wide on average, at a cost of 10 million dollars. It aims to reclaim 200000 acres in New Mexico and Texas and 30000 acres in Old Mexico opposite El Paso. The dam's name honors an ancient landmark once called the sleeping elephant. The International Irrigation Congress convenes there October 16–18 in El Paso.
