Description
The company owns the Canterbury tunnel in Lake county. It is in the Arkansas river watershed. The portal is situated on a mountainside, is about 1,000 feet from the Arkansas river, and is at a considerably higher elevation than the river. About 1,940 feet from the portal the tunnel passed through a porphyry dike some twenty feet thick. A short distance beyond the dike a considerable increase in the flow of water was encountered. The water was carried through two boxes to the portal of the tunnel, and from there it flowed down the mountainside into the Arkansas river. On February 2, 1923, Edward W. Keith, an agent of the company, filed a claim to a right to the use of such water for mining, milling, irrigation and other purposes, and thereupon deeded his rights to the company. Thereafter there was constructed a ditch, through which the water was carried across the river.
