The Bridge,

At last the plans have been sent down for
 the new railroad bridge across the Colo
 rado. As we said few weeks ago it is to
 be straining beam truss thrown across piers formed on piles. There will be five spans of eighty feet each, seventy-four feet six inches in the clear, and a draw of ninety three and one half feet, making total length nearly 800 feet. Last Sunday a pile was driven to experiment and to make practical test on Hoods report of of the river bottom. A 5O-foot sawed stick, fourteen inches square, was driven into the river bed to depth of thirty feet, striking hard pan. The result was in exact accord ance with Hoods report and was extremely satisfactory. The depth is an unusual one for piles to be driven, but when attainable it ensures the safety and permanence of a bridge. The piers will be formed of groups of piles, driven at an angle slightly diverg- ing from the center. The piles are to be sawed cedar, fourteen inches square. Each pier will be protected around its base by brush mattresses and stone rip raps, and will stand about seventeen to eighteen feet above the water, at its present stage. Across them will be laid stringers eighty feet long, 14119X22 inches. At the edge of the Arizona bank will be placed pier of extra size and strength on which the draw will pivot and be swung by machinery; large place is now being graded on the bank, into which the draw is to swing when open. Some uncertainty has existed as to the exact location of the draw pier; until this point was settled, of course no work could be done on the bridge. Final instructions about it were received on Thursday, and active work on the California end of the bridge is ordered to begin next week. Arthur Brown, superintendent of bridges, was in favor of postponing work till the river falls and the weather gets cooler, but everything was ready and on hand and the chiefs are anxious to get their road over onto this side of the river, so the work goes right ahead. Two small bridges on the California side have kept the carpenters bnsy this week. Six to eight weeks is the time set for completing the bridge if no accidents occur. It can at any time, and at small expense be made into bridge for transit of wagons, simply by planklng It over, flush with the rails. In making foun- dations for the machinery of the draw, 1t may be necessary to wait for the river to fall somewhat.

BURGLAR.-The store of R. E. Harrington Saturday night by Mexican and some Indians. A quantity of liquor was stolen, which later in the night caused noisy hilarity among the thieves and led to their detection. Indian Charley, the ringleader, was captured after a short struggle; but while being marched up to Fort Yuma he darted into the willows and made good his escape in spite of several shots sent after him.

FIVE years ago freshets in the Gila rais-
 ed the water over the lower levels of Yuma and frightened property owners into throwing up embankments around their
 adobe buildings. The scare led to the construction of side walks, that nothing else would have given us A special Act was passed through the legislature giving this town authority to raise by taxation a sum of money large enough to erect a levee for keeping out water in the future. Before any steps to that end were taken, the excitement died away and nothing has since occurred to resurrect it. In 1862 Hooper & Hinton's store stood at the foot of Main street right where the railroad company has thrown up the embankment for their side track. The Gila rose and its waters flowed down through Main street and poured into the Colorado in torrent three to four feet deep; it came up to the very edge of Geo. F. Hooper's residence, which stood right where Barney's store is. Hinton's store was washed away. Now the railroad embankment has closed the outlet for freshets at the foot of Main street and, if their projected improvements are carried out, will soon close the only other outlet at the foot of Gila street. Another freshet like that of 1862 may occur at any time. The water from it will be confined in town and the damage it may do among adobe buildings needs no description. All this can be easily and cheaply prevented by taking the matter in time. The railroad company is doing and will do an immense amount of excavation for their road. They have offered to grade lots and deliver earth in town for similar purposes for the bare cost of extra time consumed in delivery, in most cases amounting to only few cents per cart load. By taking advantage of this offer levee can be erected from near the slaughter house to the point of Penitentiary Hill, that will effectually keep out the waters of the Gila, and at cost merely nominal. Excavations made out by the church will supply the material The side track will bar out the Colorado and Yuma will be safe Whether the protection is secured by contributions of property own- CTS or by general taxation matters but little; when the washout occurs, appeals then to our charity will cost as much money as will a moderate tax now to prevent it. The main thing is to take advantage of the railroad company's offer while their carts and Chinamen are here and excavation is going on. If property 1 owners will do nothing, then the village 1 government must.

 Ninety drops per minute, crushing fifteen tons every twenty-four hours through a number sixty screen. Ore so rich that one table will only work five tons per day.' The concentrator works well, as may be seen from following assays on trial of lower grade ore concentrated from ten tons down to one. Ore before milling assayed Sl3S. .49; concentrations, S1296; tailings, SIPS. The loss in the tailings, which are saved for future reduction, is about 1215 per cent; 1; about STE per cent of the value of the ore is saved by the concentrator, which is still working under some disadvantages. So far the process has proved perfect success.
