The Water Supply Of The Ter
ritorial Prison.

The new stone water. reservoir
at the penitentiary is rapidly ap-
preaching completion. 1t is a
handsome and durable piece of
work. AS a means of supplying
the prison with water, it will
answer all purposes for many
years to come; but in case CT fire,
it does not meet the require
mentS. 1t struck us, upon visit
ing the prison, to make inquiries
in the matter, and we found that
the tank has only power enough
to force the water up one-half
the height of the buildings. 1t
is the intention of the Commits
sioners to eventually SAY in a
few years-place tank upon the
roof, TO be used in case of fire.
But, gentlemen, until that time,
what means have you OF eX Kim
gushing fire? We think here is
none. In case of fire a large
nnmber Of prisoners would be
either smothered or burned to
death, before their cells could be
opened; as the warden, the Of
ficer having charge of the keys
has no abode at the prison. AT
the last session of the Legislature.
we endeavored to have an appro-
priation made, large enough to
build a residence for both the
Superintendent and warden, on
the grounds Of the prison. But
the bill was defeated. We do
not mean to be harsh or critical
but the foregoing is intended to
morely as a passing, and, we
think needed suggestion to the
Board of Prison Commissioners,
who should AT ONCE build an
other tank on some high point
Immediately adjacent to the
prison, to be used for the pnrpo-
SO of extinguishing fire.

Referring to the cowboy nuis-

Mexican territory, President
Arthur, in his massage to Con-

embarrassing one. owing to the
lack Of jurisdiction of the general
government. unless a territory
applies for United States protec-
ton. He thinks that such acts
are likely to embroil us with a

perhaps be considered AS an Of

The Alta California has the
following in relation to the new
tranScontinental railroad: "The
connection of the Southern Paci>
tic and Texas Pacific roads, at a
point nearly a hundred miles east
of Ell Pa,o, gives US a through
line to New Orleans. The route
will be open III few days clear
through. This should be of ben
eft to California, affording. as it
does, a line of transcontinental
travel below the snow belt. The
legal difficulties between the two
companies appear TO be at an
end. They will be run practical
ly as one road, for the present at
least. The Southern Pacific, how
ever, is not likely to pause in he
completion Of its own line to New
Orleans. Whether the Texas
Pacific will continue on to this
coast is not known" It is
thought that this arrangement
will make no change in the rela-
tons of the Atchi.on, Topeka and
Santa Fee and the Southern Paci-.
fic, but they will continue to
exchange freight and passengers
at Deming as heretofore.

ARIZONA SENTINEL j..
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1851.


decade have the prospects Of
Yuma been so tftttering for
regime of universal prosperity.
When the railroad came 70 Us
1t deprived us of very important
a nd lucrative class of business.
Yuma Was then the distributing
point for supplies, and PROVISIONS
not only for the United States
Army, but for the whole Of the
Territory. These supplies were
before that time carried by teams
almost exclusively, and YUM
was to E great degree Der eftted
by this trade. Slowly recover
Jog from the effects of the with
draWal of these advantages, her
people have turned their "a
tention TO other employment,
and the time is not far distant
when she will Occupy a position
second to no city in Arizona, as a
Commercial, agricultural ard
shipping center. The soil on tn
bottom lands of the Colorado and
tIila rivers is capable of prOduv-
ing anything that may be plant
ed. Two notable crops that are
destined ere long TO add to the
wealth of the community are
sugar cane and cotton. here is
no section of country, ia the
United States that has the eli
matte and other advantages for
the growth of these plants that
Yuma county has. Our lCug
summers and mild winters make
these crops an assured success.
The only question will be- wate',
and that is a problem easily solv-
ed. The abundance of water in
the Colorado leaves no room for
doubt or fear on that ground.
AS a railroad and shipping CEN
ter she now enjoys an enviabIe
position, and with the compile
ton of the Yuma and Port Ysa-
bel road, and the proposed road
of the Arizona and Nevada Rail-
road and Navigation Co., she
will then be supplied with four
distinct lines of travel and trans
portation.
Were these all the prospects
Yuma has in view, We would
predict, a season of great pros
perity; hut there are other, and
vastly more important features
in the present outlook. The
mines of Castle Dome and Silver
District will this winter receive
a thorough prospecting. Those
Ia charge of the most valuable of
these mines have come to the
right conclusion as to the man
ner of developing the district.
Eastern capitalists have been so
often fooled and misled by the
machinations of California pros
pectors that they have grown to
distrust surface prospects. What
they want is to know that the
mine is there, and the money
will then be forthcoming to work
them. Recognizing this fact,
those who have charge of these
valuable mines will spare no
trouble TO sink on their claims
until there is no question as to
the permanency of, the mines.
With all these factors en-
listed to promote our welfare, we
are safe in predicting a season of
general and permanent prosper
ity

In the Boston Economist, on a
question as 10 what laws miners
have the privilege Of making for

the annual expenditures nece3-
sary for the maintenance of the
possessory title at any time with

location, and the miners Of a min
ing district have no authority to
make any rules conflicting with
this law. If the mining laws of
your District require that $50
shall BIZ expended within 60 days
after the location, such provision
is wholly without force. Sup

THE CARE OF MATCHES IN THE
HOUSEHOLD.
[From the American Agriculturlst.I

bt.l
In nothing about the household
does the injunction to have ga place
for everything" require more strict
enforcement than in the care of
matches. What are known as the
''parlor matches" light more readily,
and are as much more dangerous than
the common matches as they are more
convenient.
The general stock should be kept
in a tin box, which is not to be opened
or taken from, except by the master
or mistress of the house. From each
room where matches are used there
should be metal match.safe of some
kind, and the matches are to be kept
in that and nowhere else. 1t should
be regarded as a serious offense for a
match to be any where else, or for ever
80 short a time found "lying around
loose"
In the kitchen and the bed room,
or where ever else matches are in
frequent use, it is better to have the
match-safe fixed and always in the
same place SO that it can be found, if
need be, in the dark. In taking
matches from the larger box to re-
plenish the safes, let that always be
done by one person, and it will pay
for that person to look over the
matches at the time, throwing away
all broken ones, and " there, as is often
the case, two or more are stuck
together by the explosive mixture,
these should be carefully broken
apart. and unless two good matches
are the result, rather that put into
the safe. one with too little and the
| other with a ragged excess of the
mixture, throw both away.
Also throw into the fire those
matches that have two or three times
as much of the mixture on the ends
as they should have. These, III light
ing, often explode, and scatter burn
ing particles in dangerous manner.
Ii, in lighting match, day or night,
it breaks, or the explosive end come S
off without lighting, do nothing else
until that end is found, and put it
into the fire were it can do no harm.
In fact treat matches, every match

Since my troubles with Col. Shannon

and intolerant man, who was often
brought into difficulties with his as

GA correspondent makes what
seems to US very good suggestion
for the prevention Of train r0UberIes
in this state. 1t is that the legisla.
ture shall pass law that In all such
cases Of outrage the damages result-
ing therefrom shall be assessed against
and collected from the counties o
neighborhoods in which they shall
occur. This would be q wise aud
just provision of law, but 1t is uqe-
less to advise or discuss it, for the
reason that the Missouri legislature
has always shown q disposition to
protect rather than to punish train
robbers. We eau all remember tho
train-wreeking on the st. Louis aud
San Francisco road short distance
from Springfield ln this state. After
an earnest effort tho perpetrators
were discovered aud arrested and tho
governor aud the railroad company
uuited in a strong prosecution, but

rendered their conviction. impossible.
