At the Buttes.

A representative of THE ENTERPRISE accompanied MT. Buehman on his photographing expedition to the site of the proposed grand reservoir at the Buttes this week, and enjoyed an ex- ceptionally fine opportunity to observe the magnitude of that wonderful ba- sin nature has so perfectly fashioned for the destiny it will soon be called upon to fulfill.
 From the narrow rocky chasm where the waters thread their way about the tall and dark walls down towards the valley below, the broad basin above for many miles is fringed with lofty hills cut here and there by canyons that stretch far away upon either side. Three miles above, the valley has the appearance of being closed by chain of rocky hills that seem to render further progress i'm possible, but upon near approach the Gila river is seen to wind its way around the rocky abutments and an other great basin comes suddenly in view.
 Standing upon a lofty peak in this vicinity one can see the course of the stream for ten or dozen miles fur ther, still bordered by the great hills and fashioned to hold body of wa ter of almost immeasurable extent. It is no narrow gorge with rapid de- scent and limited capacity, but a sue cession of broad, circular basins that can be filled with the flood waters from watershed of forty thousands of square miles in extent, for the fer tilization of a million acres of choice farming lands but few miles below. When the dam is built to height of 160 feet, and the reservoir is filled, there will exist beautiful lake more than twenty miles long by from two to five miles widel There is no op- portunity for a storage reservoir like this anywhere else upon the Pacific coast. It possesses the capacity; fa- cilities for supplying the water; oppor- tunity for cheaply constructing dam of immense strength; the creation ol a grand water power; the proximity of inexhaustible deposits of the pre-. cious metals, and vast body of level and fertile valley lands but a few miles below. Had it been made to order no more valuable conditions could have been included in its crea. ton. Surely prodigal nature has done all that is possible, and has left but little fo: man to do to create a beautiful garden in this favored valley by providing a means of storing up the fructifying waters for use in times of drouth.

One of Lopez's wagons, loaded with barley, met with disaster in crossing the Bailey street ditch at Suter's cor ner, Thursday morning. The wagon was somewhat in its "sere and yellow leaf," and the unequal strain as it crossed the accumulation of yielding mud, dished one of the wheels which entirely collapsed upon making an other revolution. It is a pity the street ditches are not fumed, or at least the street crossings made secure against such unpleasant accidents. It would not be an expensive tax upon the property owners in the respective localities to make such improvements as will render such accidents of rare occurrence, and at the same time give more tidy appearance to the streets.

For year I was troubled with pains in my back and side, and headaches, the result of liver and kidney trouble. I was attracted to Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla, by the startling testimon ials in the papers and although preudiced against such things generally, they seemed so practical was induced to try it, knowing that as it was purely vegetable. 1t would at any rate do no harm. It was pleasant to take and acted as 8 gentle laxative. After the second bottle my pains and aches disappeared and felt like new man. It did so much for me that sent several bottles my family in New Jersey, who also took it with the most satisfactory results.

\ Boy Falls Into Shaft on the Com
stock-A Grief Stricken Father.
VIRGINIA New, September 1st-This
morning the nine-year-old son of John
Mitchell fell down q shaft in the Jumbo
district and was instantly killed. The
father of the deceased was on a hunting
trip with companion and his two sons,
one nine and the other seven years of age
The hunters left the boys seated in the We
hicle which conveyed them 10 the ground,
and the two men went in search of game
The eldest boy becoming alarmed at the
long absence of his father went in search of
him. The hunters returning to the vehicle
soon after, and seeing but one boy seated in
1t, went in search of the missing boy. Unable
to lind him they concluded he must have
fallen down one of two prospecting shafts
in the vicinity. 4 rope, lantern and men
were procured from neighboring mining
location and the bottom of the first shaft
was inspected in which nothing was found
but hat. The father of the missing boy
then descended the other shaft at the bot
tom of which is an incline. which he also
descended. The men on the surface not
receiving a signal TO hoist for long time
feared the boys father had been overcome
by foul air and another man descended by
the rope and found the griefstricken
father at the bottom Of the incline with the
dead body of his son in his arms. The boy
evidently fell head foremost down the
shaft as his head was crushed to o ielly
Both OF his arms were broken and one leg
fractured in three places. The shaft is
about eighty feet deep and the incline
thirty. The father of the boy is a miner
employed in the Consolidated California
and Virginia.
