A few weeks ago we published an account
of a successful experiment in storing water
for purposes of irrigation in Elko county,
New. The Nevada City Transcript takes us
to task for overlooking the great mining
reservoirs of Nevada county, and mentions
three, each of which has a capacity of from
two TO six times that of the Elko county
tank. IL also refers to the 300 miles of
bitches which carry the water from these
reservoirs TO the mines and ranches of
the foothills, and wants to know why we
consider these works "menaces to the
inhabitants below" while approving the
sage brush enterprise. The people of the
foothills are to be congratulated upon the
existence of this great system of water
works. We merely criticise the uses to
which 1t has been applied, and rejoice i'll
the prospect of its diversion to more benef-
cent purposes. As an agency for running
our navigable rivers, and DESTROYING the
agricultural interests of our great valleys.
when applied to hydralic mining, we deem
II a menace to- the inhabitants below. !"
AS means of collecting and distributing
water for the irrigation OF the farms, or
chards and vineyards of the foothills and
valleys, it is the nucleus of a system which
will some day prove more valuable than it
ever was or ever could be as an adjunct OF
tluiit
Some hgures may prove interesting here.
The Eiko county reservoir has capacity
OF $500 100000 gallons, sufficient for the
irrigation of 10000 acres of land. The three
reservoirs in Nevada county above-men-
toned, aggregating twelve times the capac-
ity of the former would then irrigate
$4,000 acres From land devoted to the
crops dependent upon irrigation in that
part of the State gross annual return of
$50 to the acre would be within bounds
say, S15000,000 year. Theto output of
all the hydraulic mines in the State of Cal
ifornia, in their palmy days, before the
anti-debris movement took effect, was from
S15, 100000 to $40, 900, ,000 of which Nevada
county contributed about S5,000000. How
does the application of the water system of
the mountains to irrigation compare with
Its use in hydraulic mining as money
proposition? The anti-debris people can
afford to waive the question of justice, of
injury to navigation and constructive dam
ages, and rest upon the plain financial pos
sibilities involved in the conversion of the
miners reservoirs and bitches to the use OF
agriculture.-.S. +. Bulletin, June 26th.

ARIZONA,
Alleged Murderer Arrested.

NoGALEs, June 27th.-Frank L. Smith.
alias ]. H. Morell, has been arrested in this
place, charged with the crime of murder
committed at Chadron, Neb., about four
years ago. The arrest was made by James
Blades and DR.. Purdy in front of the Inter-
national Hotel at 9 o'clock this morning.
Smith offered no resistance, merely re-
marking, when ordered to throw up his
hands, !" You are joking Smith came to
this place about three months ago, bought
into commission and forwarding house
on the Sonora side of the line very seldom
crossing into the United States Dr. Purdy,
formerly a Deputy Sheriff, noticing the
mans peculiar actions, determined to watch
him. He had his suspicious confirmed by
Smith relating the story of stage robbery
which took place in Wyoming. Soon
afterwards Purdy obtained letter the
prisoner had written and torn up. FASTING
the pieces together, he found out that his
name was Smith, not Morell He imme-
diately communicated by letter with Jas L.
Smith, Sheriff of Cheyenne, Wyo, asking if
Smith was wanted. A reply came, Yes; for
murder. He is notorious desperado,
murderer, horse and cattle thief. A reward
of 5000 is offered" Yesterday the order
for arrest came by telegraph. The pris-
oner's story is that his right name is Morell :;
that Smith is the man he killed; Smith
had seduced his sister-in-law, and during a
quarrel Smith was killed. The prisoner
says he lived four years at Chadron after
the killing, and three Grand Juries refused
to indict him. The present Sheriff is a
brother of the murdered man, and has
finally got him indicted The true story is
that the prisoner ambushed Morell, shot
him in the back, robbed the body of over
$4,000, assumed the murdered mans name
and fed the country. At the time of ar
rest the prisoner was negotiating for cat
tie ranch in Mexico. He was turned over
to Constable Frank Sinsel. Sheriff Smith
leaves Cheyenne to-day, and win reach
here about July 4th, TO take the prisoner
buck
