New Mexican Dam Project Aims to Flood Rio Grande Canyon
A New Mexico corporation plans a 10 million dollar dam across the Rio Grande to irrigate regions in Mexico and the United States. Led by Wm. Hamilton, the project envisions a 560 foot masonry dam five miles above El Paso, with twin gates in both sides of the canyon and canals to move water to reservoirs on both banks. Estimated total cost reaches 2.5 million for dam systems, headgates, drops, and canals, creating a inland lake about fifteen miles long. A separate report from New York describes a Russian nihilists weapon that fits a pocket and detonates on command, designed to avoid operator danger with a detachable timing mechanism.
