The daroivAl 4* BSOC * a^on » by
this ia meant almost every citiz n of
Phoenix, hayft determined to do things
this year in no half measures. They
have enlisted for the first time the
entire co-operation oi the ladies, and
Organized a woman's department. This
(lepartmeut comprises committees of
women on Queen's Coronation Cere
monies, the selection of the queen and
her court; decorating the queen’s
throne; a beautiful ribbon parade;
baby show and baby coaoh parade;
children’s fancy dances and cake
walks; a mask 'd ball and reception to
distinguished visitors. In all there
are several hundred women at work,
making a success of the carpival.
Mrs. B N. Pratt has been chosen
a queen, and she will have as her im
mediate ladies in waiting, Mrs. J. E
Barkley and Mrs. Ancil Martin.
Six charming young ladies will be
selected as her Maids of Honor, and
there will be a large number of oourt
i ,** I- U -S'; . # • f
attendants.
There will be parades on various
days, and on different mornings the
Indians and cowboys will give their
diibec through the town, keeping up
the carnival spirit and giving the
tourists and easterner an idea of wild
|i|e in the southwest.
The railroads will make the lowest
T* 1 v
rate ever known in the history of
Arizona and from points as far dis
tant as Denver and intermediate
points on the east, and all points in
California on the west.
Year by year the carnival grows in
i nportance and strength until it now
assumes rank almost of national im
v*. -rs - *. • , L l. :, i
The Oarniyal will be formally
opened by a message from President
McKinley on the evening of Deo.lOth.
Phoenix is.sparing no effort or' ex

IRRIGATION CQNGRESB.
The National Irrigation Congress
met at Chicago last Tuesday evening
with a thousand delegates in attend
ance. Thp address of welcome was
delivered by Mayor Harrison and was
responded to by President Elwood
Mead. A memorial has been pre
pared and will doubtless be adopted
by the congress, asking congress for
the appropriation of $250,00Q.
This meeting of the congress, which
will pontinge for seneral days, prom
ises to be very important, Storage
reservoirs and other plans of irriga
tion will be exhaasdvely discussed,
and a memorial will be drawn up for
presentation tp congress asking that
body to tfike official notice of the pos
sibilities of reclaiming the arid lands
cf the west, and requesting the ap
pointment of a federal commission to
make an investigation and report on
the feasibility of the project.
The Sftar says; The general rainfall
throughput Southern Arizona, and
the large volume of water which might
be consesved under a proper system of
Water storage, is apparent to those
who will give the matter some thought.
The wealth which could be prodded
fropa the soil by storing this water
and carrying it upon the arid lands
would be equal to the product of
many mines, Yet the cost of storing
the water would not be greater than
the development and making produc -
tive many of our largest mines, when
we take int account the cost of re
d uction plants. There is millions of
wealth in conserving the rainfall.
Reservoirs and water cachinent once
properly constructed, will be constant
and permanent producers of wealth,
as well as providing homes for many
farmers. The importance of govern-
ment aid in the reclamation of our
arid lands is emphasized with every
rainfall, especially when large volumes
of the vitalizing fluid runs off into
waterways and ia carried down into
the Gulf.
Edgar F. Howe, in the Los Angeles
Herald of recent date,‘points a
way to prevent loss of water from the
irrigation reservoirs of arid America
through evaporation. Among other,
things he says: “The one point of im
portance just now is preventing
evaporation, and experiments have
demonstrated to me that that can be
almast or entirely dona by the simple
process, of covering the water of the
reservoir vyith a film of crude petro
lVum, while this treotmenfr would,even
on the larger reservoirs, be of com
paratively slight cost. No matter in
what way the water might be turned
into the reservoir, the protecting
blanket of oil would'always be on the
surface, and as the water is drawn
from the bottom of the reservoir,
there would be no loss of the oil, nor
would the water be in the slightest
degree tainted by the oil. ”
COPPER IS KINO.
* .. “
It is coming to be admitted that
copper will be the king of metals,
during the present and long future.
Its introduction into so many uses
especially that of conducting electric
power, strongly sustains this claim.
The power which can be generated by
the rivers, and other streams, can all
be utilized for every use requiring
power, and instead of coal and oil
consumption for the generation of
power, the flowing water everywhere
can be harnessed and made to do duty
but the transmission of this power
mijst be through ‘ copper wires It
does not require & very lively imagina
tion to work out the inevitable con
clusion, that copper is to be king, and
that copper will be king for many
years to come,-both on this and the
eastern hemisphere. This being a
fact, and Arizona being the greatest
popper field~in the United States, if
not in the World, the future of this
copper region is (tssuveej. Copper
mines will be the most sought after of
any mines in the wqrld. Jtffark this
prediction.—Star.

‘"bullion tax talk. '
The Tucson Star maps out some
work for the next legislature in the
following item:
“It is generally conceded that the
coming legislature will provide for the
placing of a reasonable tax on the
gross proceeds of the mines of the ter
ritory. Thin seems fair and just and
it is understood the mining companies
will not oppose a just and equitable
law on this line. This will be of much
help in paying the ooet of maintaining
the territorial administration and
meeting interest on bonds and other
business of making possible the dis
povesy and development of the mines
of Arizona.” U . *
