Another Canal Enterprise

Mir. Julian Laughlin and his associates have acquired the controlling interest in Montezama Canal which heads short distance below the Florence canal and is already built distance of five miles and has heretofore irrigated but.a few hun dred acres of land. A new company is to be organized to extend the canal and enlarge It's capacity.
 Mir. Laughlin says it is the intention of his company to abandon the present line of the canal and construct new one about eighteen feet wide on the bottom. Work will begin within a month and it IS their intention to construct at least twenty-five miles of the canal this sum- mer to a point where the individual members of the company will own about six thousand acres of land which they prrpose bringing under cultivation next fall.
 The people of Florence extend wei come to every enterprise that IS calcula- ted to advance the material interes's oi the town and adjacent covntry, and par ticuarly the development of means tc extend water supply over the lands that are worthless without 1t, aud 1t + their hope that spirit of harmony vii exist among those engaged in bringing bout the great transformation that wi follow the building of these importan water conduits.

The Central Silver.

The following shows the developments made in the Cen.ral Silver Mining Com pany's properties up to the present time:
 Shaft No. 1 is down 95 feet, with cross cut No. in 19 feet south of shaft, with levels run 20 feet and 21 feet respectively, all in ore. Cross-cut No. 2, was made seventy feet south of shaft with the object of cutting the south vein. The vein matter and ore from the croppings to the bottom of the shaft Is from .o IA feet wide, with three feet of ore in the bottom of the shaft and in creasing with depth.
 Shaft No. is down 126 feet, sunk on the ore all the way. The ore will aver age 15 inches from top to the bottom of the shaft and no break occurs from top to bottom.
 Shaft No. is down 130 feet, sunk on the vein. There is feet of vein matter and ore in the bottom; cross-cut No is m 35 feet to the hanging wall. Cross cut No. is in l5 feet at the. 130 level, penetrating the vein matter.
 Levels will be run at each 100 feet.
 Sixteen men are now employed on this mine.
 The North Star IS the first west ex- tension of the Silver Reef mine, and considerable work has been done on this claim. The showing is very good for a valuable mine. Mir. J. L. Sullivan is it's owner and he is sanguine of the good future that his mine possesses.

Hemenway Expedition.

The Hemenway expedition, Arizona, has already accomplished much in prov ing to us, that in this country, there are antiquities worthy of being studied. Mir. Frank Cushing, who several years ago brought both himself and the Zuni Indians into fame at the same time, is at the head of this expedition. It IS MT. Cushing's opinion that the people who lived in the nineteen cities found in this valley are older than the Aztecs, and had upon this continent a civilization older than the pyramids. He says they were agricultural and far better advanced in the art and science of irrigation than are the farmers of the present day end there are traces of canals cut through the solid rock. One of these must have been more than three hundred miles long; if built to-day would cost not less than S2, 2,5OO, 900. Mir. Cushing reports that there must have been population of 25O, ,000 on the Tempe plain alone; that builders there used stone as well as adobe. Some of their buildings, recently explored, were nearly 500 feet long, two stories high, and with walls seven feet thick. There are indications that earth quakes destroyed the whole civilization and scattered the inhabitants. It is MT. Cushirg's belief that the Toltec civiliza- tion was very widely extended. d.-Denver Mining Review.
