Right in Water.

The Legal Adviser gives to its read CTS some information respecting wa ter rights, which have been source of great trouble and much litigation. It is general principle, says the writer, that every owner of land upon a natural stream of water has a right to use the water for any reasonable purpose not inconsistent with simi- lar right in the owners of the land above, below and opposite to him. He may take the water to supply his dwelling, to irrigate his land or to quench the thirst of his cattle; to use it for manufacturing purposes, such as the supplying of steam boilers or the running of water wheels or other hydraulic works, so long as such use does not sensibly and injuriously affect its volume. But this is mere privilege running with the land, not property in the water itself
 Where the stream is small, and does not supply water more than sufficient to answer the wants of the different proprietors living on the stream, none of the proprietors can use the water for either irrigation or manu- featuring, but for domestic purpose s and watering stock one proprietor will i be justified in consuming all the wa 1 ter.
 Twenty years use adverse to the right of another will give the person SO using the stream the right to con tinue to use, regardless of the others rights.
 And to the division of water, every one who owns land situated up on stream has the following rights
 To the natural flow of the stream
 That it shall continue to run in its accustomed channels.
 That it shall flow upon his land in its usual quantity, natural place and usual height
 That 1t shall flow off his land upon the land of his neighbor below in ac- customed place and at its usual level. These rights he has as an incident to the property in his land, and he cannot be deprived of it by grant or description.
 If any one shall make any change in the natural flow of stream, to the material injury of any owner situated upon it, or by any interference shall prevent the stream from flowing as il was wont to flow, he is responsible fol the damage he may occasion. These rights are subject to the privilege oi each one to make reasonable use o the water upon his own land while it is passing along the same. Itmatters not what the source of the water may be, whether it be backward or the howage of the same, or the water O another stream. Still the division O a stream may be made by any one i , 1t be returned to its natural cham, ) be ore it leaves his premises.-Ru1a l World.

Its Area, Boundaries, Population, Etc.
 This Territory, the name of which is of Indian origin, comprises an area oi 113,S67 square miles. It lies be- tween 3l degrees 20 minutes and 37 degrees of north latitude, and Is bound ed by Nevada and Utah on the north, New Mexico on the east, Mexico on the south, and California and Nevada on the west, being separated from these two States by the Colorado river. It constitutes a portion of the terri tory acquired by the United States from Mexico in 1S4S; strip along it's southern border having been acquired from that country a few years later under what Is known as the Gadsden Purchase. Arizona was organized as a Territory in 1863. Assessed value of taxable property in 1887, $26,313,- 800. Population, 90,000 whites and 3 J,000 Indians. The Pimas and the ~5laricopas, who number about 4,000, and occupy a reservation of 64,000 acres on the Gila ri, CT, live by the culti- D ation of the land and are partially lllZCNJ dio IalC dlSO lllC IhO(iltlS al1tl the Zunis living in the north. These latter tribes, not now numerous, were ivy the Spaniards called Pueblo In
 dians, from the ia t that they inhabit pueblos or towns. The Papagos, num- bering about 1000 and living near the Mexican line, are also somewhat civi- l'zed, culivating the land to some ex- text and owning much stock. The Ctes, small tribe, inhabit the coun- try adjacent to the Upper Colorado. The Mojayes, more numerous, live along the river further down. The Hualapais, 1,500 in number, occupy ing the country to the east of the Mojaves. The Yumas, another small tribe, make their homes along the Colorado and Gila rivers. The 1ava- pals and the Apaches, numbering about 5000, are but little civilized
 and before being reduced to subjection were nOmadic in their habits. They have now been nearly all gathered or reservations, large areas of land hay
 ing been set aside for the use of these and the other tribes mentioned. The Apaches, a savage and warlike race whose depredations on the settlers anC miners have done much to retard the progress of the Territory, have at las
 been so effectually subdued that fur ther serious trouble with them is no
 apprehended. The Navajos, the mos
 intelligent, enterprising and pros porous of these aborigines, nLmbe
 about 15,000 souls, and contrary t
 the general rule, are on the increase
 They cultivate the land and own 20

Live Goat in a Railroad Car.

A goat is a harmless and useful animal
 and, in spite of tradition, not belligerent, as a rule, if let alone. But occasionally q goat goes on a rampage and makes more or less disturbance, as the following story indicates |:
 On the Union Pacific road recently the etrical party was travelling, and among their properties was live goat, which was in the baggage car. After the train left Cheyenne the goat mounted on the trunks and chewed the bell cord until the train stopped. Two brakemen came to see what was the matter, and were promptly chased into the caboose, where they remained in mortal terror. When the conductor came to the car the goat slipped out and into passenger car, where he cut broad swath down the aisle, putting boxes, bags and legs without fear or favor. By this time rumor had spread through tho train that there was wildcat on board, and everybody was preparing to take to the woods when the theatrical manager came to the rescue with a stout sack, in which be untitled the goats head after a severe scufile, and peace once more reigned triumphant.

A
 A wooden treadle e., in Fig 9 is next fas- tened to the floor at K, by means of common hinge. From the treadle, at L, a strong iron wire, D, runs to E, below the table, and an other from E, above the table, to H, at the top of the spring lath.
 At E E are two iron screw clamps for hold ing the saw blades. These are procurable at any hardware store at a cost of about 15 cents. The saw blade, r, is screwed tightly between them, and, passing through hole in the table, is firmly suspended by the wires between and H. Thus when the sawyer presses the treadle to the floor, the hickory lath immediately draws it back again, and the desired up and down motion is gained without Q fly wheel or rotary working part. The whole thing ought not to cost over S1, says Golden Days, from which the above was taken.

The fact that the Rock Island rail road is now seeking 9 western sea coast outlet to their extensive line, and is now heading for Fl Paso for their ostensible destination, is very signif- cant and encouraging to residents of this valley, as showing the way the wind blows. From present indications there is every reason to believe that the company will build through this valley westward from Fl Paso, and connect with the Cuyamaca road at Yuma, which is being rapidly con structed to that place from San Diego, thus giving them the outlet which they have been seeking for several years. The surveying party which passed through this city last week leaves no room for doubt that such is the plan, and the Herald feels free to say that in less than two years Phenix will be located on a through overland railroad, connecting San Diego with all the eastern cities, over the shortest line from the Pacific coast.-PheniS Herald

A Good One on Judge Hackney.

Last week the Globe Silver Belt eel ebrated its birthday. It was eleven years ago this spring when Judge Hackney, the present senior editor of the Belt, and Col. A H. Mcrehead, cur popular Probate Clerk, loaded the printing material at La Mesilla on the lower deck of prairie schooner, climbed onto the hurricane deck and set sail for the wilds of Arizona It is we'll known in this county that Col
 Morehead is physically built on the same broad and generous principles as cx-President Cleveland and Judge Hackney is built the same way, only little more so. The captain of the schooner used 10 aver that the "dad- burned passengers on the hurricane deck weigh more than the measly old printing office down below and make the dog-goned outfit top heavy They had many adventures while go- ing ever the mountains, before arriv- ing at their destination, one of which came near terminating fatally. It seems they were climbing a steep mountain side, when a portion of the deck load shifted little to reach a chew of tobacco; this gave the schoon CT list to starboard and over she went. Col Morehead picked himsel
 up, and on looking down the hill saw tue judge lying on the flat of his back shading his eyes with his hat. Think ing the judge was all right he went tC work helping to reload the schooner This was soon done and it was decid ed that all hands should walk up the hill. Just as they were about to starr they heard plaintive voice saying
 "Say, boys, don't go off and leave 8 fellow. Come down and turn mt around" It seems that the judge haC fallen on his back with his head dowr the hill and he could not get up owe
 his stomach to save his life. All hand
 got hold of his feet and swung then around down hill, when the judge go up as gracefully as dancing master It is safe to say that in his clever years experience in Arizona journal ism that, metaphorically or actually the judge has never since been "pu on his back. ."-Lordsburg Liberal.

Two San Francisco Winners.

Butchertown, South San Francisco, is likely to become very popular. One of the happiest men in this thriving suburb is Hans M c. Mangels, who keeps grocery store on the corner of Railroad Ave and Manitoba St. He had bought Louisiana State Lottery tickets, and few days before the March drawing he resolved to try once more He held coupon of ticket 2,SS7, and so won $l5,000. He was paid last Thursday in full. Will liam Griffin, also San Franciscan, was the other lucky man in last week. s drawing. He is a printer by occupa- ton and has for some time past work ed on the Guide at 521 Clay Street. Appearances are very deceptive, how ever, as the result proved, for the little number 2,SS7 was the means of en- riching me to the extent of $15 ,000.- San Francisco (Cal) Chronicle, March IT.

Irrigation.

A notable new departure of farmers and stock men of this section of Ari- zona is their irrigating move, Many them are now utilizing waters of the streams for irrigating purposes, and to good effect. We recently noted this move for the better in Big Bug and Agua Fria valleys. It can be done in many more places with good success, and we hope to see and hear of more of it being done. By sowing small grain in the fall and, where possible, irrigating it in April and May, when streams run pretty full, good crops of, at least hay, can always be raised in valleys and other lands that have, until recently, been considered no good for anything but grazing.
 This departure goes to show that our farmers and stock growers have learned something that is of great benefit to themselves and the coun- try. That they will continue to take advantage of the knowledge gained is the prayer of the Courier. Their do- ing so will give this section more grain, more good hay, more milk and butter and a much better appearance. Ii people of such valleys as Williamson and Skull would tap the springs, lead the water in ditches and use 1t for ir- rigating dry places, they would, we think, soon find out that farming in those valleys would be sure to bring them certain profit.
 In this section, one or two irriga- tions, between the middle of April and the middle of June would carry crops in good shape to the rainy sea son, and Northern Arizona would then be a pretty farming section.
 With means to store water, thous- ands of people could live easily in her valleys, and we hope our people will prove this to Senator Stewart and his committee when they come here tc look into the water storage natter Courier,

The St. Louis company, which has located large amount of placer land near the Laguna, is pushing work. Several powerful pumps have been ordered from the east, and as soon as they arrive and are in position, hy- draulicing will begin. It is the inten- ton of the company to force the wa ter from the laguna to the highest peak in the Laguna range, utilizing fully 300 miners inches of water. That there is an immense amount of pay gravel where the company is op- erating there can be no question. Plenty of water and with intelligent management, the enterprise is bound to prove success, adding wealth to the county as well as the promoters of the work. MT. L. c.
