The great Montezuuma irrigating tunnel has been completed This tunnel is over one mile long and runs under a range of mountains consisting the Rock ies and with fifty miles of canal will con- vey the waters of the Dolores river over the richest agricultural valley in Cobra do. Over 100000 acres will be reclaim ed by this great enterprise.
 This great irrigation scheme is situated in the southwestern part of Colorado, about 500 miles from Denver. The Dol ores has always been considered one of the most beautiful valleys in America, and now they are about to cultivate the entire valley, wepred:ct for them boom ing future. Besides being an agrlcultur- country, it is one of the richest in miner al, the great mining, camp of Rico being IS situated on the Dolores at the head of the valley,
 It is great shame that we cannot get some of the Eastern capital now being invested in Colorado, to invest in the great valleys of Cochise, they certainly offer better inducements. Here we are not troubled with six months winter, and the other six ofvery uncertain wealth. CT. The Sulphur Spring Valley, we be- lleve to have the best climate in the Southwest fer general farming and fruit raising, and by the expension of one-half of the sum required to build tunnel of the length above referred to, could be developed a sufficient water supply.
 To-day while there IS three feet of snow covering Colorado, Tombstone pre- sents the appearance of Paradise. Here the flowers have been blooming for six weeks, our naturally pure air is impregnat- ed with the perfume of every variety ol fragrant flowers; our fruit is large and we'll formed, everybody presents the ap- pears of health and ntentment, all because we have the finest climate and the best mining camp Tn the United States.

IRRIGATION AND WATER STORAGE

IRRIGATION AND WATER STORAGE.
 The chief labor of the Irrigation and Reservoir Convention recently held at Denver, Colorado, was the adoption of the following series of resolutions calling the the attention of Congress to the great necessity existing through the entire West for the development of an addition. al water supply. Embodying and crys- talizing as these resolutions to the best public thoughts on this all important subject, we would suggest that some ei- fort be made throughout Arizona by con- vention or otherwise, to bring the atten- tion of our delegate to a recognition of their importance as we'll as of the impol- tance of having, so far as he may be able, duly considered by Congress in their a,- plication to Arizona as well as to Color ado:
 WHEREAS, A large portion of the land at the base of the Rocky mountains is arid land, requiring water for irrigation in order to make it productive; and
 WHEREAS, There is large area of arid land on the western slopes ofIthe mountains that is subject to the treaty with the Ute Indians; and 'ide
 WHEREAS, Immense quantities of water flow annually in destructive floods from the Rocky Mountain regions into the great arteries of the Mississippi river and the rivers taking their waters from the western slopes of the mountains in the state of Colorado, necessitating great expenditures for levees on the Mississippi river, which water, if saved by reservoirs would be utilized in retaining millions of acres ofrich and fertile lands; and
 WHEREAS, Neither individual capital and enterprise, nor the resources of the state are adequate to the reclamation of the agricultural possibilities of the lands in the arid regions; and
 WHEREAS, The mountain states have the same claims upon hegeneral govern. ment for appropriations as are conceded to the valley states; now therefore be 1t
 Resolved, That we urge upon Con- gress the necessity of making liberal ap- propriations immediately of money to be expended in the construction ofreservoirs and canals for storing water in this state for irrigating purposes.
 Resolved, That an interstate conven- ton of all the States and Territories of the arid regions should be called to consider the reservoir and canal questions; and that the Governor of Colorado be reques ted to unite with the president and secre tary of this convention in calling for such convention, to be held at such time and place as shall be hereafter determined.
 Resolved, That we urge upon our senators and representatives in Congress the importance and necessity of their taking immediate measures toward SC. curing the prompt and speedy recogni tion by Congress of the just and equita- ble claims and demands made and pre- sented by the people of Colorado and set forth in these resolutions.
 We are glad to see this question being SO earnestly considered. To the whole West, and particularly to Arizona, it has a joyous tone if the Government is half as liberal in approp'iating few millions for | the reclamation of it's western plains as it | was with its millions foi itseastern rivers | and harbors. and Horn.
