of making that cut to-day with improved imp ements would be $2o,ooo.
 The manner of building the ditches and keeping them in repair is indicated by two parallel rows of stones along the sides of the ditches. These stones are of dorite, and were used as chipping stones to sharpen the stone implements with which the digging was done. Most of them seem to have heen worn out and thrown aside, and probably they were covered up with the earth and thrown out as the work advanced. The washing away of the banks by the rains of cen turies has left them exposed. Many, no doubt, were used in repairing the banks. The natural inference is that the dltches were maintained during long period. The modern canal system of the valley is only forty-one miles in extent and cost I $I,5oo,coo. The Toltec ditches were of great size and extent, no less than 300 miles of canal alone. and could not be built to-day for less S2, 2,5oo,ooo. No less than 45o,ooo acres were cultivated in the Salt River valley by means of these an c ent ditches.

A Fatal Sense of Security Awfully Reai-
 ized at Sea,

"A wet sheet and flowing sea, breeze that fol-
 lows fast"
 From his lookout the faithful old captain of wonder merchantmen casts an uneasy glance at the distant horizon. See! wonder small speck of cloud "nO larger than a mans hand" He watches it with his piercing eye for few mo- ments, then reaches for his long eyeglass. To his experienced view, this harmless little cloud bctokens danger.
 Across his bronzed face there comes a look of determination, and, with quick orders to the seamen, the craft is put about and all sail made for the nearest harbor, where in apparent safety the anchor is dropped, and the hardy mariners watch the approaching storm with defiance!
 The storm bursts!
 The decks have been cleared, the sails close furled, and all ordinary prepara- tions made for n mergency. The storm increases but all seems safe.
 But see the vessel gives sudden lurch, turns quickly about, and away she goes!
 The anchor chain has broken This mighty ship might have ridden safely, but for one weak link in that | anchor chain
 The strength of the chain is no greater than the strength of its weakest link.
 On the sea of life, how many men are wrecked because of the unsuspected weakness of a link in the chain of health,-on weak vital organ In the body.
 The mystery of death is even greater than the mystery of life. We think the l links of our chain are strong, but we toe seldom critically examine them for our selves, and never really knOW that they will bear the strain that we put upon them.

"Undertones," in the San Francisco Chronicle, has just got of the best thing on climate that has yet been published. Here it is:
 You have been told wonderful stories of how people given up for dead have come here and got fat. The latest example of the excellency of our climate tor all troubles, from heart disease to debts and detalcatons, is fact. It comes from Santa Barbara, and if the man were not dead the point would be lost. He was at the point of death with liver com plaint. The Eastern doctors had re- quested him to make his will, collected their fees and left him to the undertaken He made great struggle and reached Santa Barbara. That was twenty.one years ago. His liver got so well that he never needed even a pill. He died the other day. Nobody knew what he died of. It was unusual and strange that a man should die there, even if he shot himself. They held post-mortem ex- animation. He-had died of something, but his liver was still alive, and they had to take club and club it to death before they could bury the rest of him.

The Arizonan is at loss to account for the lethargy prevailing in the real es- tate business at Phenix the present sea son, notwithstanding the large number of visitors from the East and California. The Globe Silver Belt thinks the reason is that the Phenicians, in their zeal to boom their town and Salt river valley, and grow rich at the expense of outsiders, have run up prices of land and canal shares to ridiculous figures, far beyond their real value, and strangers, visiting that locality, with the idea of becoming possible purchasers, have more gumption than they are given credit for, and refuse to pay such exorbitant prices for land

The operations at the Parkinson mill at Fort Scott, Kansas, for the past sea- son, proves that sorghum can be made to yield in sugar syrup and seed more than 2s per cent to the manufacturer at cur rent prices fer sugar. The product of the cane averaged 10 tons per acre, for which the farmers were paid g. per ton, yielding them twice as much as can be realized from wheat or corn. The mill treated almost 1000 tons and produced 236,Sz6 lbs. of sugar, 5I,ooo gallons of syrup and 467 bushels of seed. The Statepaid two cents pound as bounty which is not included in the margin oi profit. As the cane is so bulky, it can not be transported more than three miles and it is proposed tolocate neighborhood mills to grind and extract the juice, which can be treated afterward at the central mill

THE ToRrILIrA BUBBLE,

An effort is being made to galvanize the Tortilita mines into new life, and the Star of this city devotes pages to boom ing the scheme. A MT. Francis D. Fay Tor, of Boston, (not the eminent mining engineer, MT. Frank M. Taylor, of Lead ville), has made a long report, in which he finds the Jesse Benton claim oi the company to be very rich. MT. Taylor's report is altogether too vague to carry conviction, and we much prefer the spe- cial information which we have received concerning the property. We learn that the Tortilita Company has stopped work entirely on the "By Chance" mine, and has moved over to the Jesse Benton" claim, on which small seam of good ore has been found near the surface.
 This new find is like the old deposits in the same mine, which were all small but rich, and they all pinched out or be- came barren with depth.
 The Jesse Benton Mining Company at one time owned this and other mines, ard put up the mill, ran some $I5,ooo in debt operating it, and finally lost the en- tire investment in the concern.
 At present the Tortilita 6ve-stamp mill
 is not running; they only run when they get out little batch of ore, and have enough of the old tailings hauled up above the mill to make a run of week | or two.
 Let no one be deceived by the Sta' boom, the Tortilita mines are just as we have frequently described state ments made by the company or it's of 6cers concerning them are such gross ex. aggerations that we believe investors in the stock can recover for false represnta- tiens.
 Any one can ascertain all the facts without much trouble or any very great expense.-N. Y. Mining and Engineering l Journal.

Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar has been con- frmed by the senate as Supreme Court Justice. The editor of the EPIrAPH knew Mir. Lamar in Mississippi, during the reconstruction times, to be one of the few prominent men In that State who honestly accepted the results ot the war. He took nc active part in preventing the ratification of the Constitutional amendments, and by word and act coun- seled moderation. As Judge of the United States Supreme Curt, he will be honest and fearless, and will bring great legal ability to the Bench.

READ THE DEATH ROLL

Which the bills of mortality of any large city may be fitly designated and you will find that renal and vesical maladies, that is to say, those that affect the kidneys or bladder. have re- markable prominence--we had almost said preponderence Bright's disease and diabetes in the chronic stage are rarely cured, and gravel, catarrh of the bladder and enuresis, slay many Yet at the outset, when the trouble merely amounts to inactivity of the organs in- volved, the danger may be nul'lfied by that plsssant renal tonic and diuretic, Hostetters
 tonnarh Bitters, which imparts the requisite .rlouft of tone to the organs, without over eyci,ing them, and the use cf which is con- venient, and involves no elaborat- preparation. Dyspepsia, usual concomitant of renal com plaints, and debility which they invariably pro- dLce, are remedied by it. So also are constpa- ton, malarial, rheumatic and nervous ailments

THE HEMENWAY EXPLORATIONS.

A correspondent Oi the Missouri Re- publican, writing from Los Muertos, the city of the dead, Salt river valley, where the Hemenway expedition, under the su- perv,sion of Frank Gushing, have recent ly made important discoveries, says:
 Pathological research, prosecuted by Mir. Gushing by the comparative method, demonstrates that the dwellers of the plains were Toltecs, and that they reached high state of civilization many centuries before the Aztecs appeared. They were probably of Asiatic origin, but not Mongoloid. The Indian of the Pacific coast appears to be Mongoloid and later immigrant from Asia. The age of the Toltec ruins is reck0ned in thousands of years. The Toltecs were agricultural people, and had the Tempe plain under a high state of cultivation. The climate and character of the soil wee, apparently, the same as now, and a vast system of irrigation was required to make the land productive. The maps made by the surveyor of the Hemenway party show at least 300 lines of ditch work.
 The Toltecs were better lrrigators than the farmers of to-day. They were satis fled with very slight flow, and conse quen,ly, were able to conduct water to every part of the plain. The higher ground, which is now desert, was reached by levees upon which the water flowed. The bottom of these ditches and levees, hardened by the water flow ing over them, have resisted the leveling power of the elements. The banks have disappeared, leaving the bottoms elevated slightly above the plain, and these hard ened surfaces are now used as roads all over the valley, In some places the irri- gating canal was cut through the solid rock with stone implements. The cost

The great storm which swept over the entire northern country has been follow ed by freeze the like of which has not been experienced since the memorable winter of 1864 Extreme suffering is reported from all directions, especially in Minnesota, Dakota, Montana and Neb- raska, where many lives have been lost. In Kansas, thousands are suffering for want of food and fuel. Here in South ern Arizona the cold was not by any means severe, although some ice formed.

4 bill has been introduced in Congress for the Government to retain and pre- serve for public use the springs and streams in the territories. The Star thinks this indicates that the object is for the Government to take the business of irrigating into its own hands. If so, the territories will be greatly benefited, and the Government will hold control of the key to the value of its public domain.
