Yuma Valley Soil
The surface soils in Yuma val
ley vary in texture from a near
ly pure sand to a very fine loam
or adobe. The whole Valley is
underlaid at Varying depths by
sand, which affords excellent
drainage for the surface soils
No hardpan exists td prevent
the free movement of the soil
moistures. The whole valley is
of sedimentary origin, being an
accumulation of deposits by the
Gila and Colorado rivers during
periods of overflow. In this re
spect its origin is similar to the
famous valley of the Nile, Which
has been cropped for centuries
without depleting its soil fertil
ity. The mesa, a broad, coastal
plateau, seventy-five feet above
the level of the valley, is con
posed almost entirely of one
type of soil, or father coarse
sand, containing jit intervals a
small amount of lime. Seventy.
per cent of the soil11 Yuma val
ley is free' from -alkali; twenty
per cent , contains) some alkali,
but not in injurious quantities
about ten per cent is sufficiently
alkaline to prevent the normal
growth of the. staple crops. Most
of the alkali, however, is purely
a surface accumulation, often be
ing confined to the surface one
or two feet of soil With an open
subsoil, such accumulations are
readily leached but by heavy
flooding of the land.

Lieutenant Roscee Returns
Lieutenant Rpscoe and de
tachment of Troop A, First
United States Cavalry, who were
guided by Line Rider Miles O.
Archibald, have returned from a
ten days' scouting.trfp along the
border east of the Colorado.
Liieutenant Koscoe stated to a
Sentinel representative that he
found rio4ndications of war on
the. border, but two prospectors
whom he met on th,e desert be
yond Tinajas Altas told him that
they had seen dead bodies of
three men who had evidently
died of thirst a short distance
below the line. One of the dead
Lmen appeared to be an American
and the others Mexicans. They
were believed to be from the
i?arty of insurrectQs who several
had meals at the Colorado control
camps some weeks ago and later
crossed the Colorado and moved
on eastward. f
Speaking of water on the des
ert, Lieutenant Roscoe says that
there is plenty at Baker's tanks,
but there' is only a little at Ca
beza Prieta and at Tinajas Altas.

Good Roads Delegates Return
Supervisor A. H. Kent, Major
H. H. Donkersley, James S. Gar
vin, W. W. Woodman and Dr.
J. A. Ketcherside, delegates to
the Good Roads Convention in
Phoenix have all returned.
While there was not much actual
work done at this convention, an
organization was effected with
the following officers for the eng
suing year: T. G. Norris, Pres
cott, president; G. P. Bullard,
Phoenix, secretary; R. B. Bur
mister, Phoenix, treasurer; J. B.
Girand, Phoenix, organizer.
Yuma county was well repre
resented on the committees, Dr.
J. A. Ketcherside being on the
committee' on legislation; James
S. Garvin, county roads; Super
visor A. H. Kent, territorial
roads; Major H. H. Donkersley,
member board of directors.
Each county has one member
on the board of directors.
The principal object of this
gathering was to organize in
such manner as to secure the
transcontinental road from the
East to the Pacific Coast. Every
effort is to be made to secure
this roadway through Arizona,
touching at either Globe or Pres
cott, and thence via Phoenix
and Yuma. A committee will
be in this city within the next
ten days for investigating and
formulating a definite report for
the crossing of the Colorado at
this point.
This delegation is to work for
the highway across the Terri
tory, while county organizations
are to be effected for the build
ing of modern county roads.

ers. Suit for the Big Eys
Gus Livingston and Walter
Riley have filed a suit against
the Big Eye Mining "Company
claiming a two-thirds interest in
that now famous mine
The basis of this suit is that
the complainants claim that they
had Adams, the original locator
employed under a "grub-stake
contract. Adams and associ
ates "claim that this property
was located after Livingston and
Riley had forfeited their con
tract by refusal to furnish sup
plies. It is to be hoped that this will
not be a long-drawn-out suit, but
that the courts may soon de
cide the ownership) so that de
velopment work may continue-.
It is generally conceded that the
Big Eye will develop into one of
the greatest gold producers in
the West.
