 tiOns of our montane regions, embrac-
 ing the dry or arid lands, which if
 water could be found and forestry sys-
 tematlzed into practical science and
 applied pursuit, would become the
 most fertile and valuable property of
 the United States. We have alluded
 to the crying need of finding and pre-
 serving d sufficient water-supply with

 Treasury or Interior Department has a
 gentleman now making examinations in Colorado on this subject. At pres ent the most strenuous efforts are being made in Nevada and Arizona. Cali fornia has practically solved the ques- ton and the number of flowing wells within that State is largely on the in crease. In Nevada recently al the very highest portion of the Sage Brush desert region the question of finding water has been settled. Water flowing steadily from the shaft has been found at a depth of not over I5U feet. The Nevada Central Railway is now sink ing two wells and third has been be- gun. The Central Pacific has sunk quite number, chiefly in California Along the Southern Pacific. on the Gila desert section, d fiat mesa or table land, covered with gravel and sand, and in many parts 6lackened wlth vol l ,anie scorIa, as fresh as if pOnred out yesterday from some fiery cone, men are at work sinking for water.

THE CITIZEN.
SATURDAY, g JANUARY sl. 1880.
hqhtnq Lndians On Reserrntlons.

Our New Mexico exchanges inform
 us that General Hatch. commanding
 she Department of New Mexico, is
 now organizing a vigorous campaign against the renegade Indians, and that
 by the earnest solicitation of the Gen
 eral the War Department has granted him authority 10 follow any of these renegades upon reservations and
 fight them wherever found. We most heartily endorse the proposed cam paign, and hope it may meet the great est success, but if the fighting on res ervations is to apply to San Carlos we enter an iron-clad protest right here
 before any mischief is done. Such measures may be necessary and even desirable in New Mexico, but would certainly prove suicidal to the present favorable condition of Indian affairs in Arizona. The San Carlos reserva- tion is the home of the great Apache family in Arizona, and at no time within the past five years have the dis turbing elements there been able to get beyond the control of the Indian Pc lice force. Hundreds of the tribe have been arrested and confined. and two of the more desperate characters killed by them. They are still willing and able to arrest all local offenders, as well as any atrocious renegades whoI may seek an asylum ai San Carlos. We can imagine the effect should Gen eral Hatch or any other General charge upon that reservation in pursuit of fleeing renegades. The Indians of. Arizona are. we may say, entirely at peace, and this peace must not be dis turbed should few renegades from New Mexico attempt 10 take refugel among them. The authority delegated . to General Hatch by the War Depart ment IS strictly discretionary, and we have no doubt will be so employed.

Progress Of Washjn9ton.

 enter the eighth decade of the nine

 at the national metropolis during the past ten years. The population during the past ten years increased from lO9,
 GOO 10 54O,G00. The private buildings
 have increased in number since 1870 from about 1S,000 10 about 25,O00 and the additional public buildings, while numbering only by units, are all mag
 nlficent in design and immense in co-t. The new State Building, the fine Blu reau Of printing and engraving, and the National Museum, with some small buildings, conservatoties and the like, owe their origin to this period The most marked changes however. are those which relate to the public grounds. These have advanced as much in the past ten years as during the whole sixty years preceding the war. The capitol grounds have ex- tended their limits and have been re- newcd in design.
