"TuE Yuma Indians" by Hon. E. J

"TuE Yuma Indians" by Hon. E. J. Trippel in the July OverLGrsa Hon tstg' concludes the very interesting and we'll written article on the Indians of .s = -'TI1I Esf5l5 Mr. T-;-,->-i- I,sr fully collected his data and the SENTINEL is glad to congratulate the gentleman on the splendid success of his work. The following is an ex tract taken from the last number oi the OcerLamf: "Until recently their country was virtually ignored by the whites, who enormously believed that Arizona and Southern California were deserts incapable of sustaining life. This impression has since been proven totally incorrect, as is now at tested by the fourishing Yuma gar dens, productive ranches and exten- sive irrigation enterprises in progress along the Gila river. Government land is pre-empted at an unpre cedented rate, and the hitherto un- occy,ied valleys are rapidly filling up."

An Agricultural MarveI.

The attention of readers of the SEN TINBL Is called to the subjoined lett r from the Chrystoval correspondent of this paper. "MoAawk" is @ thor oughly reliable gentleman and every statement made by him is deserving of the most implicit belief The won derful growth of alfalfa described by him is, we believe, unparalleled in the annals of agricultural productiveness. Yuma county and its superb valley, the Mohawk stand above any portion of the much vaunted Southern Cali fornia:
 CHRrsrovAL, Yuma County,
 Ariz, July 1st, 1889. Editor ArisOna .Se,atineI:
 Why have you not told your read CTS about George W. Norton's won derful field of alfalfa on his "Mouat If Olives" rancho in the Mohawk Val l-r7 Last November he measured off eight acres and Lloughed and seeded i. with twenty pounds of seed to the s~re. In April he cut it the first time and lad twenty tons of cured lay. Early in June he cut it the second time and had twenty-four tons of cured hay. This is no guess work, but the amount has been arrived at by United States Government meas urement rules for buying forage for the army. The measurement having been made by L. A. Hicks, Civil En- gineer, and engineer of the Mohawk canal. On Saturday last, June 29th, .he growing alfalfa was measured and stood 32 inches high, having grown within a fraction of inches per day since the last moving.
