The increase of population
>n the Salt River valley and the de
mand for more and more farming
; land has set the country to think
i pig on the subject of water storage.
! That there is a great abundance of
• • -
water to irrigate every acre or ara
ble land in Arizona, the proof is
the statistics of our rainfall and the
record of area irrigable, which very
forcibly disprove the egotistic asser
tion made in Los Angeles by Pow
ell that there was not water enough
in the arid region to irrigate the
arable land in those xogions. The
thing that is to be done, and that
at once js to store those waters.
There is not an acre of land rnder
water that will not be worth from
SIOO per acre upward the moment
storage of waters has beer* secured.
They will not only be worth that
much but will command the price
because the product of the land
will return a large profit on that
investment.—Herald.
The Ores and Metals says that
when prospectors are out of teach
of assayers to test their ores, they
can by the following method de
termine whether the rock lo be
tested carries mineral or not: When
you desire to make the test pulver
ize the rock very fine, then take
one part of the pulp and two parts
of gunpowder; mix them together
with enough water to make a stiff
dough; work it up and mix thor
oughly in your hands; then form it
into a cone pyramid and let it dry
in the sun or near the fire. When
dry set the cone on a flat stone and
put a live coal on top of the cone.
When it has sizzled and sputtered
itself out, the minerel, if there was
any, will be found in the shape of
a button on the stone.
A late Washington dispatch says:
Gov. Hughes of Arizona who is in
Washington on official business, has
concluded negotiations with respon
sible representatives for the estab
lishment in his territory of a large
colony of European agriculturists,
viticulturists, fruit growers, silk
weavers, cotton spinners and me
chanics. The agents of the colony
will join Gov. Hughes in Tucson in
November and complete the selec
tion of lands and immediately after
ward the advance grnr" of two
hundred people will b<* brought on
to dig irrigation ditches and pre
pare quarters for the remainder
who will follow as rapidly as they
can be utilized,

About four years ago the W. C.
T. U. of this city secured some
SGOOO foi erßciiqg a building and
carrying on the temperance work.
At that time Phoenix had 32 sa-
I loons. The W. 0. T. U. has not
yet seen its way clear to erect the
building, but it has not slept. It
has been hard at work and today
Phoenix has hub 29 saloons while
| her population has increased at
j least one fourth. The W, C. T.
U. of course does not take entire
credit for this state of affairs, but
m a great measure they believe
they have b. en instrumental in
keepingjdown the growth of saloons.
—Herald.
C. P. Huntington of the ■y»’ith
orn Pacific, has announced th it tin*
settlers on tin* 1 'O.OOO a f, tes of
land in the San .Toiujnin va'by re
cently awarded to the Company,
will not be charged for the improve
ments which they have made, but
will be charged for the land only
what the land was worth when
they settled upon it.
Arizona’s supply of gold bearing
ores has newer before been prop
erly appreciated, owing to the pro
due' iveness of s he silver ores, and
on account of the free milling char
acter of such deposits at the surface.
Tim change in the character of such
ores as depth has been attained and
the fluctuations in (the price of sil
ver have directed attention to the
auriferous veins, which really form
th- staple supply of our mineral
wealth. In other regions, for the
most part, the gold product has
been mostly obtained in connection
with the treatment of ores of silver.
Iu Arizona, although there is abun
dant harvest to be won from the
proper working of the immense de
posits of silver bearing minerals, it
is probable that the full develop
ment of the gold veins would result
in an increased production rivaling
that of the palmiest days of Cali
fornia.—Btar.
A Washington dispatch says the
Secretary of the Interior has ap
pointed a commission to treat with
the Yuma Indians for the opening
of a portion of their reservation to
settlement The portion of the
reservation which *t is propos-d to
open lies on the west bank of the
Colorado over opposite the town of
Yuma, and is a part of th« Colors
do desert of California* The In
dians have petitioned for the change
on condition that they shall have
water for irrigation of the lands
which they retain
Yavapai county is experiencing
one of the steadiest and healthiest
mining booms she ever had. There
is no mad rush from all quarters,
men who-expect to pick up nuggets
on the surface, but there is a steady
increase-of men who have money
and are erecting mills all through
the county to work the ore that has
lain exposed for years. Old mines
are being started up and new ones
developed. OM Yavapai has gold
and silver enough to pay the na
tional debt if it is taken out.—Ga
zette.
Phoenix is receiving a very de
sirable lot ©f citizens now. They
are people who come from the east
with their families to cultivate our
rich and prm|active shtt. Every
few davs new ones arrive and bring
with them, i heir household goods,
farming implements, cows and hor
ses. They have conie to stay and
our rich cheap lands offer induce
ments for hundreds of others who
are coming this winter. —Gazette.
As showing the thraft of the
guileless Pima Indian, the Florence
Tribune is informed of the trans
actions of one of these honest In
juns. About a year ago he secured
the privilege of suLplying the Saca
ton Agency with beef. Wher he
started in he had trine head of
cattle, and after supplying the
Agency for a year he has nine head
left.
Onion socials are said to be very
| popular now in Prescott. Si*
j young ladies stand in a vow; one
I of them bites a .chunk out of an
onion; the young men pay ten cents
each to guess who bit it. The cor
lect gilessors kiss the other five
girl-, A bile the unsuccessful kiss
ibe biter. It is noticed that tire
percentage is in favor of the onion
chewer.
