Heavy rains and mountain snow swelled the Gila River to flood stage isolating Redrock residents. The south end of the Redrock bridge was damaged and the north-end approach washed out. by Friday crossing on foot was possible and the approach was repaired for vehicle traffic by Tuesday. Rodney Newton of the Lordsburg Soil Conservation Service said farm lands in Bedrock and Virden suffered extensive damage and a Silver City meeting with county commissioners was planned to discuss repairs and flood prevention. Ironically new telephone service reached one river side while the other lacked it. Coolidge Dam was not yet at expected levels as Salt River projects overflowed, complicating Phoenix valley conditions.
