 The group of mines recently bonded by Heinikie, Laurins and Forbach we learn, are developing splendidly. The
 American Flag. at a depth of 5O feet
 is showing a true Assure vein of two
 feet that averages over $500 per ton
 being free milling ore of black sul-
 phurets and chlorides. They are also
 sinking on another vein of the group,
 that is giving equally flattering results. Messrs. James and Abbott, to whom
 the mines are bonded, will vigorously push the work on the mines until they
 are fully satisfied as to thelr merits.
 And from appearances since they have | first broken ground the downward ten
 dency of these mines are favorable and
 they have increased in richness, giving
 them assurance that they have a valu- able property to work on. MT. ID. B.
 Req has also a group of mines in the same locality that produce the same class of ore, and for the work on them they reveal very flattering prospects. This camp lies about 40 miles north east of Tucson, on the east slope of the St. Catari0a mountains, admirably sit uated for wood, water and grass, and accessible by good roads. We have long thought there must be good mines in this favored section needing only al little looking up, and is doubtless al fine field for industrious and enter prising prOspectOrs.
 From Surveyor Allis, who has just returned from this listrict, we learnl that notwithstanding the northern slopes of the Santa Catarinas are cov- cred with snow prospecting is beingl carried on by numerous outfits and some rich discoveries have recently been made. In company with Mayorl LeatherwOOd, MT. AlliS went out tnl survey the Summit mill site and water ditch at Gardner's spring, located one and half mile south of the Old Hat mine. Prior to leaving work on thel ditch had progressed several hundred feet and water was flowing through it. | This looks like business and is an omen of good cheer 10 many who have adjacent interests. With the increased tIde of travel that has set in from the East to Southern Arizona, we predict bright prospects in the near future for the mountain camps of the Catarinas. Their elevation gives them a delight. full summer climate, an abundance of fine timber prevails, water is abund- ant, and to say nothing of the old ruins DD the southern summiis these noun .ains present the most picluresql of scenery to met with any where. A visit to The spring at Vel Ions grOttO will we'll repay any visitor .o this section, being in an excavation m the solid rock about twelve by wenty feet, and affording an ample supply of cold. clear water.

IRRIGATION.
Senntor K,rs Plan to Water the Plarns.

Sendf0r HHS s run tO WOIeF ne TIuiHS. Senator Hill, of Colorado, 10 whom
 as a member of the committee on Pub lie Lands the proposition 10 dig exper- imental artesian wells upon the now arid public lands, for the purpose of irrigation. was referred, has completed
 his report, which will be submitted to
 the full committee at its first session.
 There is but little doubt of Its adoption
 by the committee. The report say,
 that there are 900,000,0O0 acres em-
 braced in the ard regions, including
 Arizona. Dakota, Idaho, Montana,
 New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Colo
 rado. and Nevada, and portions of
 California, Kansas, Oregon, Wash
 innton Territory, Texas, and the Indian
 Territory. Not per cent Of this Ter
 rjtory has yet been sold by the United
 Sta.es, and 1t must remain uuSold for
 wears to come unless some means IS

 where, even with abundance of wafer, agrIculture would be impossible An equal. amount consists of lava beds |" bad lands" without soil or vegeL stion, and desert plains of drifting sand. leaving an area of 500,000,000 acres of plains and valley land susceptible of high cultivation and wanting only water. Under the most favorable con- ditlons probably not more than 3 per cent of
 THIS LAND CAN BE EXCLAIMED by the utilization of rivers and small streams now available. The remainder io some extent Is utilized for pasturage, but the growth of grass is so scInt that it requires from fifteen to twenty. five acres for the support of a single head of cattle, and for this reason the land of course could not prOfitably be | sold. In Colorado alone are 40. .O00.- ! 0O0 acres of this land capable Of pro- ducIug from twenty-five to thirty T bH helS of wheat per acre If irrigated | In view of these facts Congress Is rec to appropriate $50,000 for boring srtesian wells.

SAN FRANCIsCo, February 21-Chas Colby was to have been hanged al Santa Cruz today for the murder of Williams in October 1878, but owing to some negligence on the part of the Clerk of the Supreme Court, to which the case had been appealed, the papers necessary to carrying out the sentence were not received today. To avoid the necessity of re sentence the Gov ernor by request telegraphed a respite until March 7th. There was consid- erable excitement at Santa Cruz over the delay and fears were entertained that the citizens would take the execu- tion of the law into their own hands.

LEARNING TO SEW. To DO handy with
he needle, is one Of the sterling accom-
plishments of every educated woman.
10 be able to take the "stitch in time, )"
Is worth all the time and trouble that
are required to learn the art. Like
walking, reading, and many other
things which we come to do without
special thought, the learning to sew is
a slow process, and should be begun
while the child is still quite young. The
girl should not only have the use IF the
thread, needles and patchwork, but be
instructed how to take the stitches,
turn the corners, and do various things
connected with needle-work. We are
not excluding the boys In our remarks,
because they need to learn to thread
needle, and DO general sewing. Men
are many times so situated that they
must depend upon themselves for their
necessary sewing. Even IT 1t Is an age
OF sewing machines, it ls best that all
children should learn to use the simple
common 0lu-fashioned kind, which can
never be wholly superseded. The
amusement and occupation that sew
ing furnishes little folks afford sufii
Client reason why all mothers should
see that their girls, and boys too, learn
to sew-but the very practical use OF
the needle in after life is the principal
reason after ull.
