sub-soli Irrigation.

A limited amount of water will IT,
 rigate ten times theamount of ground
 on the sub-irrigation plan than it
 would on tue flooding or surface
 metEo1. It is only question of limited time when this new method of irrigation will be generally adop- ted in all countries where irrigation is required, and especially in South ern California where it will soon bring thousands of acres into culti- vation that otherwise would remain in wild state for years to come. That the reader may have more definite idea of sub-;rrigation, we will explain the modus operandi, aud when once understood comments It. self a success to every intelligent mind It consists of pipes made of lime and sand, made by machinery (and is continuous if desired, with out joinD and laid along each TOW of trees, eighteen inches-er two feet below the surface, so ast to be out of the way of the blow. At each tree there is small orifice in the pipe from which the water issues. This orifice is protected by pipe which rests on the main pipe and extends above the ground six or moro inches. The water passes out under the lower end of it on the roots of the tree, sending them down instead of to the surface as in surface irrigation. Evaporation takes place under the earth and spreads moisture for many feet around, so that the ground mid way between the rows is sufficiently moist to grow any kind of crop.- [. 4. Journal

The heels, at a glance appeared natural and prop erly made, but on pulling out nail or two and removing one thickness of leather hole occupying nearly the whole size of the heel was fonnd in winch opium had peen placed Ia

Last Saturdays Artzonan came to us this week replete with intelligence from the mining districts of that county.
 With the coming of cooler weather work, it is said, will be resumed on the McCrackin mine and other mines near lhe Colorado river.
 Owners of Santa Maria mining properties are getting ready for ac- tive mining operations. The district has five lodges which carry gold, sill yer and copper. Weaver district continues its yield of gold. The placers are far from being worked out there.
 Owners of Date Creek properties are moving as if they meant to start work there shortly.
 Silver Mountain district is coming to the front. The Mammoth and other lodges have recently added new lustre to their old fame Larger lodges can nowhere be found
 Humbug district, is as of yore, productive one. The Tip-Top mine is still in the lead. The ledge is now a heavy yielder of rich silver rock.
 Tiger and Pine Grove Districts are keeping up their ancient reputations The Tiger, Lorena, Gray Eagle, Cou. gar and many other mines are still looked upon as great king pins"
 Peck District is not at present yielding much bullion, but the Prince and Black Warrior mines are doing well, by producing high grade ores.
 Turkey Creek district is still a ia vorite one. The Goodwin mine is now receiving most attention. A of water prevents ore reduc- ton.
 Hassayampa, Walker, Big Bugand i the districts of the Black Hills are considerable attention from ! experts as well as miners

 MINING MATTERS. Rich Strikes al Globe and Richmond Basin. What is Being Done in the vari-
 ous Districts. Yayapai County on a High Road of Prosperity.

The following are summarized from the .Sfzcer Beh:
 The Holland mine, Patagonia Dis trict, has been bonded by A G. Ryan of Tucson to San Francisco parties. Sixty thousand dollars is the sum nominated to be paid in case of a sale
 At the depth of one hundred feet in running a cross-cut from the hang ing wall on the Southwest Alice a body of chloride ore four feet in width is penetrated which is estima- ted will yield seventy-fivc ozs. to the ton. From the depth, regularity of the walls and solidity of the ore it is confidently believed that s. ". 4. is mine.
 Steve O'Neil and Wash Laurence, are opening ledge which they have named the Bullion. It is four miles south of Globe, on Pinal Creek The indications are that the vein will prove of considerable width. Two tons and half of the ore has been sent to the Isabella mill for test.
 Hitchcock, well known mill builder, now in San Francisco, in letter to ". V. Kingsbury of Globe district says: Haskin has bought a ten stamp mill. The Mexican com pany will shortly erect q twenty stamp mill for the reduction of Mex ican mine ore, and that the Miami mill will be rebuilt by the under writers.
 George Allen and A D. Skinner have made rich discovery about half mile easterly from the Des- preciadc. The ledge shows about b feet wide. It is contact vein be- tween limestone and slate. Assays have been made from it which gave as high as 1860 ozs. per ton.
 A strike in Richmond Basin has been made in the Bilderback & Steve O'Ncil's mine which is reported as unusually rich. It was made on 1 a ledge formerly owned by Geo. Scott and abandoned. When first struck was mere thread and in sinking 40 feet it has opened four feet with pay streak thirty inche9. It has not been ascertained whether it is q spur of the Mack Morris or parallel vein.

Enaland's Hard Times.

The Times financial says industries
have been disorganized during the year,
credit shaken, and failures multiplied Oh
every hand. 1t is stated on good author
ity that the failures of this year are near
ly five thousand in number more than
last year, and it will be difficult to say
where the distress will end, for not only
have wages been reduced and many thou
sands of citizens been thrown out of elm
ployment, but many thousands also OF
those above the artisan class are either
in actual want or on the confines of it.
The increasing number of persons driven
to grant bills of sale on their effects is
one significant proof Of what is going on
in the ranks of the lower and middle
classes.
