    To make hydraulic mining in the dry desert possible, around 1904 miners built a dam to store thousands of gallons of water. Today you see a long mound of earth and rock which once was a dam 10 feet high and 100 feet long. It was part of an eight and a half mile water system designed by James Stetson, an engineer of the Santa Rita Water & Mining Company.
