Ancient irrigation n in Arizons.

The recent investigations of the
 demenwey expedition in south western
 Arizona throw light on the irrigation
 system of the ancient residents of tn.
 Territory. It is estimated that at one
 time not less than 300, ,000 inhabitants Fpeopled the valley of the Gila and its
 tributary, the Salt river. Thls country
 $ now of desert character. except
 where modern irrigation works have
 been established. The present settlers
 are beginning to utilize what remains of the canals constructed by their ex- tinct predecessors. The ancient tlitches
 carried the water across the flat lands hatween the Gila and Salt rivers for a distance of from fifteen to twenty miles. They were large enough to b. navisated, and from their elevated position in some cases Were evidently intended to carry water upon a range of country kft out of the calculation
 of the present inhabitants. Tha pro gress of irrigation in part of Arizona promises, at no distant day, to restore to that region its prehistoric density of population. The high temperature and aridity which prevails there ne- cessarlly cause rapid evaporation, and when the development of th. canal system begins to draw seriously upon the water supply, means of economis- ing waste will be demanded. In Persia aud in other portions of Asia like con ditions have been met with covered canals, and the system may commaud itself both in Arizona and California. Nature has done something in that direction in portions of Arizona. Sev- eral important streams at points in their course sink below the surface and follow su1terranean channels for long distances, subsequently, reappearing. In some instances these underground water courses have been traced and tapped, aud water obtained for irrioa- tion purposes.-San Francisco Bulle- tin.

Latest returns from Maricopa county show that the entire Demo cratic ticket was elected, with the exception of one member for the House. Result of election in Ora ham county in doubt, although the election of Stevens, Michelena and Fitzgerald is assured. In Pima county the Democrats elected their sheriff, recorder, district attorney and two members of the House, the Republicans being successful for the other offices. Gila county sends Republican delegation to Prescott, and Pinal county does likewise.

Sore Eyes

The eyes arc always in sympathy with the body, and afford an excellent index of its condition. When the eyes become weak, and the lids inflamed and sore, it is an evidence that the system has become disordered by Scrofula, for which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best known remedy.
 Scrofula, which produced painful in- Eammaticn in my eyes, caused me much suffering for number of years. By the advice of a physician commenced taking Ayers Sarsaparilla. After using this medicine a short time was completely

 Ny eyes are now in splendid conGi- ton, and am as we'll and strong as ever. Mrs. William Gage, Concord, N. II.
 For number of years I was troubled with humor ill my eyes, and was unable to obtain any relief until l commenced using Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medi- cine has effected complete cure, and I believe it to be the best of blood puri- fier5.-C. E. Upton, Nashua, N. II.
 From childhood, and until with few months, l have been afflicted with Weak and Sore Eyes. have used fer these complaints, with Denenclai results, Ayers Sarsaparilla, and consider it a great blood purifier. - Mrs. c. Phillips, Glover, Vt.
 I suffered for year with infamma- ton in my left eye. Three ulcers formed ol the ball, depriving me of sight, and causing great pain. After trying many other remedies, to no purpose, Twas final ly induced to use Ayers Sarsaparilla.
 By Taking
 three bottles of this medicine have been entirely cured. My sight has been re- stored, and there is no sign of inflamma- ton, sore, or ulcer in my eye.- Kendall T. Bowen, Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio.
 My daughter, ten years old, was aff1ict- ed with Scrofulous Sore Eyes. During the last two years she never saw light of any kind. Physicians of the highest standing exerted their skill, but with no permanent success. On the recommen- daticn of friend purchased bottle of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which my daughter commenced taking. Before she had used the third bottle her sight was restored. Her cure is complete. W. E. Suther- land, Evangelist, Shelby City, Ky. tt Ayers SarsaparilIa, Prepared by Dr. J. c.

Railroad rumors are, as a rule, lik

 railroads tie country wnull be gridi
 roned with them. The latest railroad
 talk comes from Phoenix, and Mr. W
 J. Wurphy,- of that city, is accredited
 with saying that the first new railroad
 that will enter Phoenix will 6e built
 from; C.,labazas, on the Arizona &
 Few Mexico road, down the Santa Cruz valley through Tucson, thence tc Florence, Tempe and Phoenix, even. ruaily to connect with tie road under construction from San Diego, via En : senada to Yuma and Phoenix. Mr. Mrphy is also accredited with saying that he had been asked to make bid for the construction work of a portion Of the road and will soon examine u e rcute to familiarize himself with @ rie~ to submitting bid so soon as the specifications are Promulgltc Our i7formant,. with whom Mir. Murphy conversed upon this subject, is re- liable gentleman and we believe Mr.
 Murphy himself to be equally respon- sihle, and therefore we place some faith in the report. It is a link in the great system of its roads that the At chisen. Topeka & Santa Fe Company woai1 be likely to undertake to hasten a through connection over its own fines to the Pacific coast, and the feasibility of the route designated has been frequently discussed hy the press of southern Arizona and the reports of its engineers upon portion of tie route surveyed have been in the hands of tse management of the company for several years There is no question of the certainty of a railroad traversing the Gila valley fron Florence to Yuma within the next few years, for the i'm portant interests of this growing coun
 try will demand better and cheaper transportation facilities than TOW ex- is'. Indeed It is not unlikely that competing efforts will be put forth to secure this prospective trade that pro- misses to reach a magnitude of no mean proportion within the next decay, an other roads will be constructed through the valley. Florence is pecu
 larly situated in regard to the effect a railroad would have upon its future we fare. The advent of road wouI.' at once make 1t the depot of supply for not only the great expense of agri- cultural country surrounding the town, but for many important mining camps that now depend largely upon other sources. We have everything to hope for in the building of railroad and. ia fact, it is necessity to our growth and prosperity. Oar people should encourage by all proper means the buiiding of one or more railroads, for we have room and need for all we can Aeeure.r-Enterprise.-

A California Climate.

Summers and winters are so nearly
alike that one is puzzled to choose be-
tween them. There is no summer day
on which the mercury passes 500 Fab
renheit, yet few in winter when it does
not reach zoe. The surf that beneath
the bright sky and gentle breeze rolls
so lazily in long miles of snowy foam
changes its temperature scarcely 40
from summer to winter. This makes
sea-bathing almost an everyday posi-
bility, and one may battle either in the
surf or the still waters of the bay, the two
being one hundred yards apart at the
lighthouses. Upon the higher parts
of the peninsula even hoar frost is
unknown, and on the lower parts is
seen only once or twice in occasional
years, and then is gone with the sun
rise. AS frost can occur in this section
only on perfectly clear nights, the fol-
lowing day is sure to be bright and
warm. AT this season, too, the sea
breeze has fallen away to mere breath
of air, so that the greater part of the
winter day differs slightly in tempera-
ture from the average summer day.
Grass, trees and flowers, and even the
tropical plants, grow in midwinter with
a vigor unknown upon most of the low
parts of the mainland, where the tenn
perature falls too much by night
