Then the Power Created Is Used for Additional Irrigation by Pumping. (Interview with Hydrographer Newell. Irrigation by electric power promises to work a revolution in many sections of the arid West. The streams are to be used in the mountains to generate power, aud the power is to be trans mitted to the fields below for pumping water on the land. Mr. Frederick H. Newell, the Hydro grapher of the Geological Survey, has just returned to his office from a sur- reying tour of toe West, and he states that this power development will add immense and, at the present time, un known areas to the irrigable land of the arid regioi , while at the same time the water supply under the system will be certain and most satisfactory to the irrigator. "The feasibility of transmission of electrical power for not 20 or 30 mile but for 150 or 180 miles has opened the way," says Mr. Newell, "for this new and enormous additional development to the hitherto supposed resources of the arid West. ''The method by which additional areas can be brought under irrigation with a given visible water supply, is this: We will suppose a stream flow ing from the mounlaios down into a large broad valley or a plain a hundred miles below. The water from this river is sufficient to irrigate only one half or one-third of the plain ; all the rest is, then, dead land. There is bow ever, an underflow beneath thia re maining, or 'dead' land, which can be found at a depth of from 20 to 50 feet. This furnishes an inexhaustible supply f good water for irrigation could it be gotten economically to the surface. The great bulk of the lowlands of the valleys adjacent or tributary to the forests areas of the Rocky Mountains ir the Sierra Nevadas are underlaid with this water a practically inex haustible supply against pumping. WATKB FURNISHES THB POWER. "Fuel for pumping, however, is ex pensive, and it does not seem practica ble to get the water onto the land ex cept at a prohibitory cost. But here is where the power can be brought into operation. Storage reservoirs can be constructed way off in the mount ains in such a manner as to atilze the pow er of the river or its fall to tbe full ex tent, and from this plant or plants in i power generated can be trausmit'-ed down the valley to the twenty or ior-ty-acre irrigated farms, where it ?an be applied to an electric motor operttt- tng a eeotrifugal pump lifting water upon tbe land as required. This should be the ideal irrigation system. The farmer starts bis motor and the water comes; when be has enongh, be shuts it off. Uis water supply i right under him in great abundance, and he does not have to jump on his horse and tear off twenty miles toa canal headgate to find out why his water does not come down tha ditch." "But is this a theoretically possible development, Mr. Newell, or is it some thing which has been actually tested?" HOT A THEORY BUT A ACT. "The practicability of this develop ment baa already been demonstrated by the number of plants already ia op eration in the Sao Joaquin Valley. It is claimed that water is actually being pumpedat a less cost than itiasupplied by gravity ditches. There are many opportunities not only in California, but also In Colorado, Utah, and other States, where power plants can be eco nomically Installed in tbe canyons, and the water from these used to irri gate the fields. The power from these plants can be conducted out to points beyond reach of the canals, and em ployed in lifting the underground wa ters to the surface. The ultimate de velopment of this class of work must rest largely upon water conservation, tbe holding back of the floods of the spring to supply a continuous discbarge during the summer, keeping the pow er plants in operation, as well as fur nishing water for the ditches. DEPENDS CP05 CONOBESS. "Thia complete conservation must rest largely upon the government's completing Us work in the forest re serves, not only in proteuing the grow ing timber, but also by constructing large reservoirs where the conditions are favorable. By such works the largest possible use can be made of the irregularly distributed water supply, and the moisture which exists beneath the surface and which now is practi cally useless, can be recovered and made to assist in the creation of thou eands of homes upon the public lands." posed. New canals are being con structed all over the territory and old ones are being enlarged and extended. New strikes are being made in every district in the territory. New mining companies are being formed by the hundreds and old ones are enlarging and improving their plants. New mon ey is coming into Arizona by the mil lions and is being invested in various enterprises. All of the towns are growing into cities, and new ones are springing up as by magic. Mining stocks, almost without a single excep tion, are advancing steadily in price, and some few have doubled many times within a few months. Arizona is ex periencing an era, of most remarkable development. It ia not a boom, because tbe output of the territory is increas ing much taster than its population. New railroads mean new camps, new mines and cheaper transportation for ores And mining supplies and a corres pondingly increased demand for agri cultural products. Arizona is to-day unquestionably the most prosperous section of the United States. Its wealth will double in five years and its population in ten. There is not an idle man in the territory, except from choice. Copper Era. MURDER AT JEROME. Miner Retaliates for Having Been Report ed for Infraction of Rules by Kilt ing the Informer. (From the Journal Miner, 6th. An Italian cage rider was hit over tbe head in the United Verde mine at Jerome this morning and died about noon. The man alleged to have struck the fatal blow is named Rice L. Fore man, and he is said to have immediate ly lit out of the place. ' The story of the .crime as telephoned to Prescott is that the cage rider had reported on Foreman for infractions of the rules of the company and this morn ing when the shifts were changing Foreman, who was one of a gronp of at the station hit tbe Italian on the bead with a shovel, fracturing bis skull. As soon as. the information was re ceived at tbe sheriff's office, Sheriff Munds immediately left in pursuit of the murderer. The recent sale of the South Bisbee Copper company's property to the Tarsia company of Glasgow for $2,500, 000, brings o mind the fact that this property was offered to the Copper Queen company only a few years ago for $2000. Of course a large amount of development work has been done on tbe property since that time. This only goes to confirm the old saying that no man can see into tbe ground. The claims were considered absolutely valueless when located, but now Mr. O. S. Pitcairn, an expert whose reputa tion extends around the earth, is will ing to take them at two and a balf mil lions, and it is quite likely that under bis able management tbe property will increase in value many foid during the next few years. In this the prospector can find much encouragement. He should not be cast down because hia property ia not considered of value by mining men! In fact, almost every mine of real worth in the territory to-day has been '.uroeddowo by prominent ex perts in years past. The thing for tha prospector to do is to develop bis prop erty just as rapidly as possible. Tbe prospector who has energy and who works is the man who makes the money, Tbe man who. lays around and does nothing, has nothing to show and there fore his property is not considered desir able. Copper Era. The Grand Canyon Hotel. From the Albuquerque Cltizon.) Oil the brink of the Grand Canyon of tbe Colorado River, about fifty miles north of Williams, Arizona, the Santa Fe railroad, according to report, will erect a splendid hotel overlooking the huge chasm, which iaone mile deep at tbit point. Grand Canyon will be made one of the show places of America, and local railway men believe it will rival Ni agara Falls as an attraction for tourists. A first class extension of tbe Santa Fe will be built from Williams to the canyon, and it W probable that tbe station on the precipice will be includ ed in tbe main line overland. This wonld necessitate some extra time on tbe transcontinental trip, as trains would have to run oat to the canyou and back to reach the main line for California, bnt railroad men believe that the additional time would be wel comed by the public if it afforded an opportunity to see the Graud Can yon. The hotel on the edge of the canyon will cost $2,000,000, U is said, and will be one of the most unique bostelries in America. Porter, a Denver capitalist, and also by Charles E.

These gentle men had just returned from Bisbee and the lower camps of the terri tory, and were more than agreeably surprised at the vast volume of business which could be secured to sui'h it road in this section. Durango furnishes tbe finest coke and coal in the' west, and the building of tbe proposed line wjuld no doubt cheapen this commod ity to the cousumera of this section' besides opening up a new field for mining timbers. As- the Era under stands it the Colorado people are most desirous of making some arrangements with tbe A. Sc. N. M. and tbe South western R. R. whereoy the lines could work in harmony with each other. Such an arrangement would give the Durango people an outlet for their coke, coal and timber supplies to. Clif ton, Morenci, Pearce, Uleason, Tomb- atone, Bisbee, Naco and Cananea, which is really the big end of the min ing district of the territory. It would also give them a new and much more direct line into 1 Pa&o, which is also a heavy consumer of tbe supplies named.. CHANGES IN RAILROADS.

The ground plan for the reconstruc tion of the railroad map of the United States has been' virtually agreed upon at a series of conferences which have been going on for tbe last three days, the final session having been held this afternoon at tbe office of S. Y. Morgan & Co. These conferences were at tended by Jamos J. Hill. E. H'. Harri- man, Jacob Sehiff, George J. Gould, and representatives of W. K. Vaoder- bilt, J. P. Morgan & Co., twid the Pennsylvania interests: The controll ing powers of all the great truuk line and western systems were represented and the conclusions reached have the moral force of contracts:- The plan as tentatively agreed up on was cabled to J. Pierpont Morgan Thursday oightr and received his cor dial approval and- indorsement in a cablegram, received to-day. Briefly stated, the plan provides for a division of the railroads of the coun try into four groups, Which,- when fin ally completed and' rounded out, will be a& follows: Tbe Union Pacific will surrender the Southern Pacific to the control of George J. Gould, John D. Rockefeller, and their associates in control of tbe Missouri Pacific. The Missouri Pacific will be conceded an outlet to the Atlantic seaboard. The understanding is- tbat control of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western has been guaranteed to-' the Gould- Rockefeller combination, which will extend tbe Delaware, Lackawanna and Western to Pittsburg, there to counect with the line being built into, that city from- tbe west. The Gould party is said to have paid or agreed to pay 300 for control, of- the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western, the' bid having been raised from 250 to that 65 are. The Harriman-Vanderbilt combina tion will retain control of the Western continuation of the Union Pauific, and it will take nnder its control the St. Paul, Dulutb and Northwestern. The Hill-Morgan party will have the Great Northern, the Northern Pacific, the Burlington and the Erie. The Pennsylvania combination will take Over the ' Atchison, and Rock Is land. The status of the Southeastern rail way systems was not fully determined upon, but it is not likely that there will be any interruption to the Penn sylvania plan for the absorption of tbe several lines in the cotton belt east of Mississippi. The anthracite situation will not be disturbed in any important particular, conditions there being satisfactory to the ruling powers.' The introduction of the Gould-Rocke feller party into tbe Eastern Trnnk line field is not expected to make any disturbance among the coalers.

In an interview with Mr. Wigglesworth welearnedthat tbe prospect for a road from Durango is good, aod.it is quite sure of oeing built if. tbe remainder of tbe way be any where near as good as that which he passed over." The Era ia Informed tbat Mr. Wig gleswortb, fcund tbat the- proposed road could be built much cheaper than be had anticipated, and he also found that the grade of the road would be much less than many roads now operat ing in Colorado and Arizona.
