Mohawk Valley News.

From a private letter received from the Mohawk valley the following items are taken. The farms under cultivation are looking fine and pro- ducing good crops. George w. Nor ton, w. H. Treichler and E. F. Snider have finished having and made big crops of alfalfa, wheat and barley hay. c.

Isaac Rudisill the newly appointed manager of the Mohawk Canal company, is a pushing intelligent business man and is having the canal put into first class condition. During the short time that he has been in the valley MT. Rudisill has become very popular with the settlers owing to the cour, tesy he extends to all, and the energ- etic manner in which he conducts the affairs of his company.-Yuma Sent incl.

Action.

Upon the recent killing and des- truction of the property near the Oso Negro and Nacosari mining camps, q dispatch was sent to Delegate NJ. A. Smith laying the matter before him in it's true light. A dispatch received in this city yesterday from Mir. Smith says that he has laid the matter be. fore General Schoield, and that the latter had wired General Miles, and that the department would take inn mediate action to head off the Apaches should they come this way. It is probable that troops will be sent to patrol the line, and that cooperating with the Mexican authorities the Apaches can be captured, or at least driven away from this section of the country.-Prospector,

San Carlos,
(SolomonyilIe Bulletin. ]


 Three new buildings are to be eIec- ted shortly at San Carlos for the use of the Interior Department as follows A general warehouse 90 by 120, car penter and blacksmith shop 30 by 11O, and a guard house 30 by 30. They are to he built of stone, and when com pleted will add much to the appear ance of the place.
 The Indian boarding school under the efficient management of Supt. Demon is in a 1ourishing condition. There are at present 79 pupils being cared for eco boys and 19 girls). Ad- ditional buildings will be erected in the near future that will accommodate probably 300 more.
 The Indian crops are looking nicely, owing no doubt to the untiring zeal of the head foremen-Messrs. Jack Bun ton, Frank Porter, Ed Hays and Frank Story. They estimate that the wheat crop alone will nearly double that of q year ago, or approximate a little short of a million po1lnds, which speaks loudly for the present manage ment of the agency.
 The water system is nearly complet- ed, and will be in working order in two weeks. The two large iron tanks, how ever, will not be put in place perhaps until fall

Broke Jail,

Thomas Forget who was bound over by Justice Easton last month to appear before the grand jury on a charge of stealing ore from the T. M. x M. Co, scaled the wall of the jail yard last night and has not been heard of since. As was customary he was allowed the freedom of the yard few minutes before dark, and when the jailor went to call him in there was no answer, and upon looking in the yard no sign of Forget was to be seen. An investigation of the wall showed that he had gone to the corner where the yard joins on to the court house and pulled himself up along the stone trimmings that run up the corner of the building. The tracks of his feet could be plainly seen. After getting to the top he must have ran along the top of the wall till he reach ed the alley way in the rear and drop ped off.
 Officers were after him ten minutes after he was gone. His trail could not be distinguished owing to the darkness, but it was found early this morning at daylight, but up to 5 o'clock this afternoon nothing had been heard of him. Sheriff Slaughter naturally feels chagrined over the affair and as will be seen in another column he offers $200 reward for the return of the escaped prisoner. This Is the first man who has escaped under Slaughter's four years of admin istration, and the daring act on the part of Forget stamps him as being no otenderfoot.-Prospector.

4 Fine Vineyard.

The Schofield vineyard, three miles north of Phenix, has been known for upwards of year as the finest vine yard in this valley; MT. SchOfield hay ing received great and merited praise for his efforts to demonstrate the cap abilities of our soil and it's adaptabili- ty to the production of the raisin grape Mir Schofied exercised great care in his selection of stock, and when he sold the property few weeks ago to Mir Crow, of Denver, for $2O, 1000, people generally opened their eyes in wonder at what he had succeeded in accomplishing in three years in other words, when he settled on the land, it was portion of the domain of Uncle Sam, and after three years in- telligent labor, he sold it for $200 per acre, and when we say that MT. Crow secured fine bargain, we are only asserting a fact, which is patent to every thinking man in this valley.
 Yesterday, in company with Major Evans, Gazette reporter vieited the premises of MT. Crow The farm con sists of 100 acres, eighty acres of which, are in vines, divided as follows : Seedless Sultanas- thirty acres, Mus cat or raisin grape-thirty acres, French wine grape-twenty acres. The vines are all of the choicest and most profitable variety, and are three years old from cuttings. MT. Crow, although without experience as vine yardist, has gone to work to learn and notes carefully the labors of his em- ployees in their care of the grape.
 The vineyard is in fine condition and gives promise of splendid yield this season as the vines are literally loaded down with young berries Surrounding this magnificent young orchard are choice vareties of fruit trees-pears, peaches, apricots, etc. which are bending to the earth under their burdens of fruit. MT Crow informed us that he contemplat ed the erection of fine large resi- dence on the place, which will ado greatly to the appearance and value of this magnificent home. This vine yard is one of the illustrations of wha
 can be accomplished in few shor years in the Salt River valley, ant carries with it the irresistible conclu sion that in no other cOuntr
 under the sun, is industry rewarded
 to such an extent as it is in this val
 ley.-Phenix Gazette.

Arid Lands.

A recent dispatch from Washington says in regard to the arid lands of the great vest
 "The irrigation committee of the senate will make report tomorrow on the subject of irrigation of the arid lands of the west. The report says more than two-hfths of the United States, excluding Alaska, requires irrl- gation to insure regular crops. With dams and reservoirs at suitable places, large extent of this region could be made productive, and the floods of tine lower Mississippi ale vated. The process of irrigation could be aided by boring artesian wells.
 All the country west of the eastern base of the Rocky mountains, requires irrigation, exception part of Washing ton, Oregon and Northern California west of the Cascade mountains, and small areas in eastern Oregon, Wash ington and northern Idaho. The re- port charges the geological survey with diverting $1S0,000 of the money ap- propriated for irrigation purposes to the typographical survey. The com mittee submits an estimate of the areas under cultivation. From this it seems that the area under ditch is l3, : 561 900 acres, of which 1000 ,O00 are in California and 3, ,000, 900 in Colorado. The amount cultivated by irrigation Is 7,763, 900 acres of which 3,3OO, 900 are in California and 1,600,000 in Colo rado. The projects under way last year and partially completed will bring the acreage under ditch up to 15,OO0,- 900 acres. The total value of the re- claimed land is nearly $7O0, ,00O, 900.
 Allowing for the reclaimability oi 00,000,0O0 acres of arid land, and we have as a result total real estate value of $2, ,J0O,0OO,000. The commit tee in the bill reported heretofore re commended the transfer of the subject to the department of agriculture Reagan submits minority repor

 The arid lands embrace an area of l, $40, ,000 square miles, of which 100, GOO, 900 acres can be redeemed for agri culture by using the total supply O
 the perennial streams. The minorit!

 which are being rapidly burned; als'
 pasturage lands. Irrigable land should be segregated and declared , such, and the right to use water ol ', them established, and prohibition pu on the use of water on other lands. Irrigation districts should be estab lished and farmers on these land control the catchment areas with al their values.

The noise the paper will make when the rabbit attempts to gnaw the vine will scare the animal away.-Gazette.

The Chinese rush into this country via Mexico may not be so popular when the moon-eyed Mongols realize what risks they run. A party, who last week attempted to smuggle them selves into the United States through Lower California, got lost on the des- erts, and had terrible experience, one of the party dying of thirst and ex- posture. They found the frontier so closely guarded that they stole to the eastward and thus reached the desert. Here they got lost and wandered aim lessly around for several days, suffer- ing greatly. One of the Mongolians was lad of some 14 years. He gave out under the strain. They heaped a pile of sand upon him, and left him, while they continued their aimless wanderings. They at last reached the railroad, minus everything they had attempted to bring into the country except the clothing upon their backs They had thrown away bundles con taining large quantity of opium.- Phenix Herald.
