LAUNCHED FROM THE WAGON.
Each crew ID selected with the greatest care,
skill in the surf and experience with the sea
being the main requisites, besides perfect
health and strong frames. The men are usually
fishermen we'll known in their neighborhood,
and are selected by the keeper Of the station
under certain regulations. Surfmen are paid
ESQ q month during the active season, and are
given their shelter and fuel free. They must
buy their own uniforms. The keeper receives
from 600 to $500 year, and are nearly per-
manent in their tenures during good behavior.
A constant patrol OF the coast is kept up at
night the time being divided into watches Of
about four hours each. Two surfmen are de-
tailed for each watch, one going in each direc-
ton along the coast until he meets the patrol
for the joining Of the beats. These patrolmen
then exchange metal checks that are returned
to the keepers TO show that the beats have been
completely covered. In case the stations
are too far apart for this meeting, . post is
planted at the end Of the beat, on which q key
the patrolman carries and this registers the
time OF his arrival at the post By this means
perfect system Ia maintained

1t was once the fashion for the sentl.
mental friend of the red men to charge
that the settlers of Arizona cried wolf,
so that there would always be a large
part of the regular army stationed il
the Territory and as consequence fat
contracts. This was a heartless charg:
to bring in the face of the almost daily
record of horribly crimes perpetrated
by the savage Apaches, and it has
since had its refutation in the vigorous
demand made by the Arizonas that
Geronimo, Chato and the others should
not be allowed within 400 miles of the
Territory, lest they should stray back
into it and renew their old-time de-
viltrles. But while it is a settled ques-
ton that the Arizonians do dot de
sire either the regulars or the Apaches,
it is not so certain that there is not a
class Of Army officers who would like
to see state Of turmoil existing with
in the Territory so as to necessitate
the presence of numerous troops.
What may DC the motive for this we
do not know, but the tenacity with
which some of the officers adhere to
the idea that Geronimo and his fellow
cut-tlroats should I've restored to their
oil field of operations is convincing
many that a desire for the cheaply
earned gl,ry of participating in ali
Indian chase is at the bottom of the
trouli... S. f. Chronicle.

The present winter in the nothern
portion of Arizona has ben remarkable.
There has been no cold weather-no
severe storms of either rain or snow.
AS consequence, range cattle are in
splendid condition. Beef can be found
on the range that is almost too fat to eat
fact which is unprecedented at this
season of the year. Our stock men are,
as a matter of course, all smiling.
There is only one thing lacking to rem
der them supremacy happy, and that is
fair market for their steers. We
sympathize with those in less favored
sections who are almost breaking their
jaws trying to masticate poor, tough
beef, while the people of this sections
are enjoying luscious, juicysteaks that
fairly melt in ones mouth. All that
is wanted to make the coming spring
and summer everything that the cattle
mehsean desire, is good fall Of snow

San Diego and Yuma railroad.

The San Diego Union of late date
says: The infatigable Carlson appears
to have lost none of his confidence in
the ultimate success of his Terminal
Company, and when met by Sasa,
scribe yesterday he seemed at peace
with himself and the whole world.
He says;
The laborers on the San Diego d
Eastern Terminal railway were again
pleased by the disbursement of ano-
Their remittance from New York this
morning, which paid them off for their
second months work.
The New York parties evidently
don't scare worth cent, and from ad-
vices another consignment of rails can
soon be expected here.
The two locomotives belonging to
the Terminal Company are being over
hauled preparatory to run, and San
Diegans can expect to have a ride on
the Terminal road.
James Irvine, the President of the
New York Equipment Company, a
millionaire of New York, who is one
of the hackers of the company, will
arrive here shortly to close contracts
for the building of the line to Yuma.
Mr.. Carlson says he is now on top,
and San Diegdns can rest assured that
the line will be pushed to Yuma as
fast as men and money can do it, as
soon Mr.. Irvine arrives here.

There is not, IN all probability, one
person in thousand who pass Yuma
on their way to California or to eastern
points, who has the faintest conception
of the natural advantages possessed
by that widely-known locality. The
tact that Fort Yuma was a remote
outpost and of but small consequence,
gave rise to many thoughtless remarks
from officers in sending their des
criptions of the couRtry in their pri-
vate letters, or their exaggerated re
ports to the War Department at
Washington; for in their eyes, in those
days, a prison would not have been
more of curse than was Fort Yuma.
However, there are attractions, op-
portunities and possibilities connected
with this mallgned, abused and mis-
represented locality that will yet
cause the wondering outside world to
gaze upon it with awe and admiration,
while they viii atmit that something
good can come out of Nazareth. The
lower Colorado river lands contain
over 100000 acres of the finest,
most fertile soil known upon the Paci-
fc Coast. Beginning at Yuma and
extending south, on both sides of the
Colorado river, down to the California
Gulf, comprising body of land sixty
by eighty miles, section large enough
to hold the entire Salt river valley,
ella Bend, Mohawk and Antelope
tracts, and still have enough left to
form several new counties, making
no estimate whatever for foothill and
mesa lands bordering it along. There
you can gaze upon countless thousands
of acres of, level river bottom lands
with soil varying from SIX to twenty
feet in depth, quietly awaiting some
properly organized combination of
brain and muscle to call it into
smiling, bowling, uncovered expense
of fruits and perfumes. Well may
the prophetic eyes that look upon us
term our town the Los Angeles of
Arizona. There are some worthy and
commendaLle efforts being made to de-
monstrate in a practical manner what
can be done here.
In the ella and other valleys an
abundance of water is obtainable at
depths ranging from twelve to sixteen
feet, and windmllls can be used the
year round on account of the CONSTANT
breezes blowing mildly from the gulf,
and it is thought that the use of wind
mills will prove to be cheaper than
steam for raising water, although fuel
is very cheap here. Wild hemp is
found growing in the valley, and for
healthfullness the climate is unsur-
passed.

South Giin Valley.


EDITOR SESTINEL.-Since the sub
siding. of the waters of the ella,
there has come more confidence in
the science of engineering ,nottonly
t0seontfe1 the waters Of. the ella;
to do 50 at "a very moderate cost of
money, if It be rightly applied in
time. One permanent lesson ought
at least to have so far impressed
itself upon water way builders, by
the recent flood, as to teach them
to fully protect all work as past as
completed and take no risks by de-
lays. The canal along the South
ella, have not suffered but little
by the recent floods, and few days
will see them in good shape. Ex-
cept for the giving away of the inn
mense dams above here, no damage
would have been chronicled in the
South ella valley. Probably the
managers of our canals will take
timely advice, and put in dykes at
points in the river, where it is
likely to endanger the canals I'M
der their charge. The head gates
of the South ella canal, were enti-
rely submerged for some hours
during the highest part of the
flood, but remained as firm as the
mountain rock, and stand precisely
as the engineer left them, when he
presumed them completed. If cut
out of solid rock, they could not
have stood better. It is estimated
that about ten to twelve days work
with a good team will mend the
farmers canal, except their head
gates, which are to be changed this
summer, but will not interfere with
the flow of water in this canal even
if not fixed until low water times.

Am Old Mine RediscOvered- de-
Copper Prospects.

A rich strike has been made
within the past few days in the
Olive mine, near the old Mowrey
smelter, at Washington Camp.
This strike is believed to be in the
vein that has been sought so long
in vain by different parties. When
the old Mowrey works were closed
down in 1868, an old Mexican
miner reported that ore was left in
one of the shafts that would run
1900 or 1000 ounces in silver. On
the strength of this report numbers
of different parties have sought in
vain to strike it, but have success
sively failed. Within the last two
years one party spent over $4,000 in
search of the rich ore referred to by
the old Mexican miner. 1t is
believed the vein has at last been
found in this new strike. The ore
runs from 300 to 1000 ounces in
lead and silver native silver abound
ing in large quantities. Some of
the samples are SO strung together
with wires of native silver that it is
impossible to break it. The vein
is reported to be from to eight in
ches wide. This may prove for
tune to the discoveries, though
they are already troubled with
water in the mine. The parties who
made the strike are Nicholas Carr
and Frank Olsen.-Tucson Citizen.

that the operations there are in a most
hourishing condition. The new well at

torily, with fair promise of an album
dant supply of water The old well at
the Atlas is being sunk deeper by Mr..

A new water jacket has just been
received at the camp for the Atlas

Lemon Aid.

Acting Governor Murphy return
ed yesterday from a hurried bust
ness trip to Yuma. He brought
with him an armfull of lemons from
Mr.. John Gandolfo's garden, where
this anti-bilious luxury does GER
tainly attain perfection. The
branches were loaded down with
golden beauties, great, big ones and
the smaller varieties whose acid
property seems to increase as their
size diminishes. Mr.. G.. H. Brinley
also succeeds markedly in raising
not only lemons, but lines and
citrus fruit generally.
While congratulating our Yuma
neighbors on their skilled enter
prise, we desire to say once more
that the whole ella and Salt River
valleys, up to an including ex-
Governor Zulick's Highland canal,
should be yellow with the same
attractive, richly yielding orchards.
Oar winter has, if anything, been
milder than that of Yuma. There
is no reason why we sh ould not
engaged in friendly competition.
Let us hope to see the lemon and
lime mingling their blossoms with
the white petals of our oranges, al
monds and apricots.-Phoenix He

Professor John Henry Comstock,
the eminent naturalist, begins in
the New York Ledger of March 1,
a series of six articles on the study
of insects, in which he describes,
not only those insects which are
useful to the farmer, but also, those
which destroy entire fields of grain,
cotton and rice and ravage orchards,
gardens and vineyards. He demon
strates how it was scientifically
determined that an average loss
of $30,0OO,000 has been occasioned
in the South by the cotton-worm
alone; and that an average loss per
year, of nearly 50, 100000, has been
brough about in the apple crop of
Illinois by the ravages of the Goblin
moth. The series is profusely
