THE government annually wastes many millions of dollars in the shape of appropriations for the improvement of rivers aud harbors, very little of which in productive of any real benefit. Mud sloughs and thunder shower creeks come in for a share of the plunder while many worthy objects of public help fails of recognition. Arizona has no rivers or harbors upon which to base claim for government aid, but its peculiar con ditio,s demand it for other aud more merit. rious pnrp' ses. There are mil lions of acres of rich and fertile lands in this Territory that are absolntely worth less until supply of water is provided, and it can bs readily seen that it is of interest to the government to provide experimental artesian wells and to locate and build huge storage reservoirs to give its lands value. With water there is no other portion of the great west more desirable for homes; but without it the desolate waste is the most forbidding. A modest appropriation eaci, year for H system of this character of internal i'm provements in Arizona would surely re- dound to the benefit of the government in the speedy sale and early cultivation of it's now worthless lands. The enact ment of more rigid laws governing the sale of public lands will exclude invest ment by the capitalist for want of suffici ent inducement, and the poor settler will be indivi 1ually urable to accomplish the reclamation of his small claim. Thi: is proper field for government aid, and 1t is directly in it's own interest, for i has all the land to sell and profits by it cultivation. Although this subject ha been so frequently agitated. it is on that should not be allowed to slumbe until the requisite internal impro vemeut have been all acco mplshed and the whol arid region of the great southwest be comes fields of waving grain and orchard of golden fruit.

THE action of the United States author ities in bringing suits against mining companies and other corporations for using wood cut from government land, looks more like persecution than any thing else, and if these actions are sus- tained it will work serious hardship to the mining interests of the Territory. The wood used is chiefly small mesquit and palo verde, of no use whatever save for the purpose uf fuel and, ordinarily, the locator of the land upon which It grows consigns 1t to the bonfire il pre- pairing to cultivate his claim. It posses ses no recognized value until the poorly compensated industry of some patient struggler for Il mere existence laborious'y prepares it for the only use to which it is adapted. These toilers eke out a very scapty return for their labor, owirg to the sparse and small growth of the ma terial that the offic diguify by the name of trees, and one effect of these prosecutions will be the loss of means of livelihood to these poor tnilels. The mining companies usually have no choice in the matter of fuel, for it's importation is almost an embargo npon mining m places remote from railroad transpo,ta- tion. The loss to this industry will scarcely compensate for the tritiing gain sued for by the government, even if the cases are conducted 0 successful issue, and it is very small business for the representatives of great government with a half billion dollars in its treas urv, to undertake That the mere question of fat fees actuates these off ticials we dislike to believe, and yet we can dis cover no other motive. No aetna damage is done to the public lands Il removing that which can only be re Rarded as an incunlbrance and is nc deemed of sufficient importance t' change the character of the desert lan' upon which is grows; but the mining in tercsts require the wood in the successful operation of their reduction works. Tn government could drive a more remun erative business and one fully as honor able, in maintaining system of far games throughout the towns and cite of the west.

CASUAL readers of Arizona newspapers,

CASUAL readers of Arizona newspapers,
 residing in the eastern stales, scarcely
 give full credence to the published state-
 ments treating upon the wonderful re- sources of this really marvellous land, and they are prone to pass them by as little attempts at burlesque upon the sea-serpent order, and forget them.
 Yet the truth is very seldom strained even in the most rosy expressions of the press, for this is, indeed, land of won ders. It is wonderful because of it's for mer civilization and grandeur, and den SC population, whose record is nearly ob- liberated by times ceaseles3 chan ges. Enough is known of them to convince any one of their patient industry as shown by the magnitu le of their canals and buildings, and their intelligence and genius as shown by the character of the works that still survive. The old story of their rise and progress has already be- gun it's repetition under far better aus. pices, and with the advantages possessed bv the present age it's new glories must greatly exceed these of its primitive oc. cupation. It is wonderful also for itl rare fertility;for it's genial climate; for itl long seasons that merge into each other like perpetual summer; for its possi

 SAN FRAN CISCO, May 15, 1888. MR. T. E. PARISH,
 DEAR SIR:-- Your father spoke to me about an evapurator and man to run 1t. I told him and now tell you that you do not need one down there. All you want is bIeacher that will cost you but llttle and sun dry the fIuit. Any carpenter can build one or you can yourself for that matter. All it requires Is close box about the same size q country out house, or say feet wide by 4 feet deep, so fixed that you can slide in trays with fruit on them, one above the other, aboot 4 or 3 inches, same as sieves in flaming mill only that it IS stationary. Cat youl f uit, put 1t on the trays while fresh cut, put in your bleacher put your sulphur in q pan or something else in the bottom of your Uleacher and It the fruit remail ill the sulphur fumes five pr ten nlinut es, t,,en ttke it out, put in the sun aud lei it dry.
 It looks brighter and will sell better than evaporated fruit. The fumes of the sulphur fastens the original color in th9 fruit. Respectfully, D. D. ALLISON

The Florence Canal.
 Citizen

The Gila valley is at present attracting considerable attension, and will shortly assert its claims as an agricultural country. This Is due in the main to the progress made by the Florence canal, work on which is be ing prosecuted with all possible speed. The company at present are using two sixteeu horse ditch excavators on the main canal, and have two smaller ones for constructing the laterals.
 They expect to complete at least five miles of the main canal each month and will mo doubt reach the Railroad by next September The canal Is about fifty feet wide and carries about hve feet of water which has fall of two feet to the mile. About midway between Florence and the railroad; the canal will run into an immense reservoir, covering 2,000 acres, having mean depth of nine feet, thus creating an enormous reserve supply
 The number of acres tO be covered by the canal and its sixty miles of laterals, will not be less than 100000. At the upper end great many acres are al- ready under cultivation, and other tracts are being cleared as fast as possible aud the ground prepared for crops.
 The offer, of the company are Gen N. Pogue, President, and Alfred Evans Secretary and Treasurer. The money is furnished by Indiana capitalists of large Iii cans who will push the work to com pletion. The promoter of the enter prise, and prominently connected with the management, is Mir. D. $. Thomas, of Missouri Mir. Thomas is very cour. teous and obliging in showing visitors around and imparting any desired in. form ltion.
 The company have about made ur | their minds to construct a railroad iron the Southern Pacific to Florence anc work will no doubt be commenced with in a-few months. There is an easy ma turll grade all the way, and the expense of grAdin" very small. The amount O freight now handled by team would en able the road to more than pay expense from the start.
 The outlook for the valley is yer bright and Pima county will rejoice il th he prosperity of her neigh hnrs
