! Mr.. SANDERS, Of spring water fame, and
engineer and proprietor of the Tucson
water works. has fitted up street sprink-
I ling cart i'm addition to his other water APP
pliances, and now moistens the streets in
{ the heart Of town several times day. He
! fills his cart from the acequia at the foot
Of Congress street where he has a pump
rugged up. The sprinkler is after the style
OF the water carts of other chimes and
other days and as Sanders sails down the
streets and turns on the water and the
bright sparkling shower spurts out and
allays the dust, we forget all about the
past unpleasant features of Tucson and
| think we are gradually approaching the
civilization and comforts of Aher places.
We are improving every year. II the gov
eminent would pay its debts and the rain
fall in the Santa Ritas and the mines
start in just a little or If a mill or Nv o
could be got into successful operation, and
the Indians fixed, las they will be imme-
dlatelyJ this country would shoot right
ahead.
