Arizona Sentinel. J, W, DORRINOTON, Proprietor. rrau, - - - Arizona WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1900 The Flagstaff Gem talks good sense when it says t ""We are opposed to the removal of the penitentiary at this time as the territory has enough indebted ness without creating more. Let the legislature legislate for the general good of the territory and not for nor against certain local ities. " Prospector. "An eastern editor says a man in New York got himself into trouble by marrying four wives. An Arizona editor replies by as suring his contemporary that a good many men in his part of the country got into the same predic ment by marrying one. A north ern editor reports that he found no end of trouble by simply promising to marry without go ing further. A Phoenix editor says a friend of hi3 was very sorely troubled by simply being found with another man's wife. The man with four wives must have had a serious time. There are 20,000- inches of water in the Salt river and every acre of land in the Salt river valley has been thoroughly soak ed. The farms throughout the valley have taken on a vastly improved appearance, and where all was dry and parched by drouth it now looks green and thrifty. The Lord always takes care of deserving people, and with this in mind the citizens of the valley can always move along unmindful of the slight draw backs that come to them from time to time, always remember ing that better and more pros perous days are just across the divide. Napoleon said, "Beyond the Alps lies Italy." So our peo ple can look beyond the tempo rarily darkening clouds and ex claim, "Beyond that darkness is God's sunshine." Gazette. LA FORTUNA MINING CO. One of Our Near-By Industries. One of the best regulated and best paying pieces of mining property in Arizona is La For tuna, (thefortuna) which is locat ed on a spur of the Gila range of mountains sixteen miles south of Blaisdell, a station fifteen miles east of. Yuma, on S. P. railroad, with daily railway and. stage connections. La Fortuna is- not a sudden find of hidden wealth on the surface, like a Klondike or Cape Nome excitement, but gold ore averaging $20.00 per ton and free milling, which has been worked on an economical and paying basis for a number of yearsj turning out a monthly gross amount of from $40,000 to $50, OX) from a twenty-stamp mill. The main shaft is down 990 feet and the ore improves as they go down. The water sup ply is pumped through pipes from Blaisdell. The cyanide plant is one of the largest and latest improved, which does the work thoroughly. The company employ one hundred men who receive the usual standard wages. Everything works satis factorily and with handsome re sults. Chas. D. Lane, the well known and enterprising mining operator of California and Cape Nome, is the principal owner and F. J. Martin, a practical and ex perienced man, is superintendent, while Joe Golden, a capable and reliable man, is foreman. The results of this model mine be speak of the good and economi cal management. Since the advent of mining at La. Fortuna, there has sprung up an orderly and well developed settlement of considerable size, containing many good and sub stantial buildings that would re flect credit on any mining camp. One is a school house with a list of 25 pupils, mostly Spanish speaking, but who are "catching on" to English very readily. The Y. M. C. A. building with a neat Supply of books and papers. One general merchandise store, under the supervision of Mr. JohnDoan with two or three other expert salesmen. A boarding house that sets up a rattling good meal, and four- saloons that supply the more ardent admirers of something stronger than water. They all report progress and seem contented with existing conditions under the clear skies of La Fortuna. The climate at this time of year is perfection and the mountain scenery al ways enchanting. La Fortuna plant will be found crushing rich ore, probably with increased facilities, long after some of the readers of this arti clehave "given up the ghost" and gone to the realms of un known bliss. P. Last Sunday, December 2, the Los Angeles Times entered upon the twentieth year of its exist ence as a daily republican paper As a newspaper the Times is one of the best in. the United States, and has an influence and circula tion unsurpassed in its field, which includes a large part of Arizona. The Times was started as a four-column, four-page sheet and now runs all the way from 12 to 48 pages, seven columns to the page, besides its Sunday Magazine. It is a great news paper. The Algadones Grant Bill. The following letter from Del egate "Wilson relative to the bill affecting the Colorado valley lands has been handed in for publication by Judge Davis: House of Representatives, Washington, D. C., Dec. 3. H. C. Davis, Esq., Yuma, A. T. Dear Sir: Yours of Nov. 26 at hand concerning Algadones grant bill. Replying thereto let me assure you that I shall press the passage of this bill early, and I have no doubt that it will go through without any further ob structions. Senators Berry and Teller are not here, but will be on tomorrow, and I shall confer with them at once on their arri val and shall seek to hold Sena tor Teller to his agreement with us at the last session, which I haven't a doubt that he will keep promptly. Yours truly, J. F. "Wilson. The Phoenix Carnival. The Phoenix carnival is a com bination of the highly original plans of the ones held in the past, namely, of the exhibition of the Indian and cowboy sports; industries, characteristics and pastimes, together with the new idea of a street fair. The Carni val Association has gathered to gether the best and most novel ideas from all sources. There will be a large number of booths occupied by merchants with their wares located along "Wash ington street, the main street of the city, and these, together with the beautiful street decorations and thousands of incandescent colored lights, will form a pic ture of great splendor. The city of Phoenix, to aid the- project in every way possible, has given the carnival associa tion the use of the streets for booth building, parades, midway shows, etc. The decorations are in charge of Mr. Frank E. Pratt, of San Francisco, well known through out the country as the leading decorator in his line. The street fair and in fact the general business of the carnival is under the direction of Mr. L. W. Buckley, director and gener al manager of nearly all of the street fairs and carnivals held for years on the Pacific coast. The director general of the carnival, is a very popular and well known young business man of Phoenix, with a large circle of friends and acquaintances. The carnival committee the pres ent year Messrs. Hirschfeld, Clark, Goldberg, Luhrs, Mc Cowan, Benham and Price are all with one exception the same as last -year's carnival executive committee. Cowboy Sports on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Friday Baby Coach parade, Ribbon parade, and the various beautiful features to be presented by the ladies. In the cowboy steer-tying con test there are twenty entries and these and similar features are in charge of Jack Gibson and J. "W. Benham. Mrs. Webster Street and her committee of ladies will have charge of the queen's reception on Thursday night, which will be a very brilliant affair, and on Friday night the official carnival ball will be the society event of the year in Phoenix. Its canse exists in the blood. In what cnuRes intlamiuatiou of ttao mucous mem brane. II is therefore impossible to cure It by local applications. It is positively dangerous to neglect it. because It always affects tbe slomacb and deranges tbe general bealtb. and is likely to develop into consumption. It is radically and permanently cured by Hood's Sarsaparllla which removes the cause, cleanses tbe blood of scrofulous and all other impurities and gives vigor and tone to the whole system. The voluntary testimonial of R Lojco, California Junction. Iowa, is one of thous ands equally good. It reads: "1 bad catarrh-in the bead three years.-lost my appetite and could not sleep. My bead pained me and I felt bad all over. I was discouraged. I began taking Hood's Sar 8aparilla and now have a good appetite. sleep well, and have no symptoms of catarrh." promises to cure and keeps tbe promise. Accept no substitute. The New Homestead Law. Ed. Sentinel. Dear Sir: There seems to be con siderable misapprehension as to the scope of an act of congress approved June 5, 1900, concern ing second homestead entries. If you will kindly publish thro' the columns of your valuable pa per I will herewith give the act in relation thereto ; "Section 2. That any person who has heretofore made entry under the homestead laws and commuted same under provis- sions of Section 2301 of the Re vised Statutes of the United States and! the amendments thereto, shall be entitled to the benefits of the homestead laws as though such former entry had not been made, except that com mutation under the provisions of Section 2301 of the Revised Stat utes shall not be allowed of any entry made under this section of this act. "Sec. 3. That any person who, prior to the passage of this act, has made entry under the home stead laws, but from any cause has lost or forfeited the same, shall be entitled to the benefits of the homestead laws as though such former entry had not been made." Yours very sincerely, H. C. Davis. Arizona Oranges. In New York last week Arizona oranges sold at from $3.10 to $6.25 per box; averaging $4.55 per box. California and other navels sold atfrom$3.15 to$4.30. Judge C. W. Wright, of Tucson, died in in that city on Friday last, of appendicitis. Judge "Wright was one of the ablest lawyers of the territory. He was at one time attorney general of Colorado, but has lived in Ar izona since 1885, and his death has caused deep regret in the territory, in which he had a very large acquaintance. Judge Wright was the father of Johnny Wright, ex-district attorney of Yuma county. The remains were shipped to Los Angeles for cremation, and passed, through Yuma Saturday morning.
