ANOTHER BIG ENTERPRISE.
Sheriff Brown Constructing a Mam
 motk Reservoir on his Ranch.

Dams, ditches and irrigation enter prises are the source of the territory'f most solid prosperity. Another one, or the usual grand scale of Arizona pro jects, is now under way.
 It IS at Sheriff Browns ranch, near the famous Hartt ranch, where similar enterprise is just completed, the gates for it having arrived last Saturday. The sheriff has not fully estimated the gal Ions it will hold, and has not used levels to obtain the exact boundaries of the dam, bat it will be, he thinks, larger than MT. Hartt's, which contains about 75,O00,000 gallons.
 Nature has peculiarly adapted the place for the reservoir, two OluHs nearly meeting and enclosing a wide valley above. The space between the bluffs is only 300 feet, and the dam will be about half mile wide above. The nine teams and as many men in charge by A. J. Davidson are now blowing and scrapinG and excavating and piling the embRnk ment, which is to be seventy feet wide on the base and six feet on the top. The work, it is expected, will be completed ir a month.
 The dam will irrigate 640 acres, fed through twelve-inch pipe. Fruit trees will be planted from time to time, many of which will be set out this fail. Cop. will be put in large part of the land al once, and the whole will soon be unde: cultivation.
 The dam will be fed from a neighbor- ing canyon, which runs full of water every rainy season. This, it is eEpected is ample to fill the reservoir, which in ltt turn is ample to keep the moisture or the GAO acres till the following season An overflow sluice will be placed bacl of the dam that its walls may not bt damaged.

Governor Irwin.

While interviewing the city mer- chants today, the CITIZEN reporter found Chas. F. Hoff in his office ln a comfort able position, with yesterdays CITIZEN before him. Says he, "I am rereading Governor Irwin's speech. The people of the territory can hardly conceive what a great amount of good that speech means to our people. The governor surely has the interests of the people at heart and We can call him genuine Arizonian. This speech reminds me very foricbly of an incident happening a short time ago. Before leaving for our recent eastern tr.p l had some busi- ness matters to adjust at Bowie station. The governor and family were stopping there for several days, the guests of Capt. Tevis. In the evening had the honor of enjoying tete tete with this now so celebrated Arizonian. l was simply assonished ct the familiarity with which he handled Arizona subjects and interests, and almost was struck breath less when he said, You are also labor ing for the benefit of the people and territory, for nothing will improve the territory more than the erection of the Aernotors." He then went into mechanical descriptions of the wheel, and it astonished me to find that the governor took so much time in studying the merits of my windmill. He said he admire my way of using the printers ink, and really thinks tha' have good thing, and that like in Colorado, the future prosperity of Arizona depended upon the erection of windmills, in order to show what can be done by artIicial irrigation. The governors action in the east assures us that he has come to stay and that he will be a prominent figure in the future moral, financial and politi- cal history of Arizona.

NOT MERELY A HORSE THIEF,
The Man Taking the Indian School Horse a Fugitive from Law.

The stealing of the Indian school car riage horse last Thursday night now seems to be but part of a general plaa by the thief to get out of the country as rapidly as possible, he being regarded from very suspicious actions as a fugi- tive from the law and not mere thie: The horse he left at Reales with the saddle and bridle from the Indian school is a much better horse than the one he continued with belonging at the school. He preferred his own saddle 10 those stolen. County officials think he was headed for Mexico, ard is now safe from pursuit. 4 letter from Oracle this morning to this city tells of the mans actions previous to his theft:
 WILLOW STRINGS, Ariz Aug. s, 1891 WM. ROCHE, Esq.,
 Tucson, Arizona.
 DEAR SIR:-A Mexican or Indian passed here last night mounted on 8 large sorrel horse, thought to be stolen, brand not known. The man as near 8s I can learn is short or medium size and wears no beard. When first met he re- fused to speak Spanish, saying he could not speak it. He spoke in broken Eng fish. He was seen between here and Tucson by two men in wagon. He avoided them, moving of the road and riding around. As he passed by here he broke open house and stole number of articles among which was a United States scouts oyercoat, gray, double breasted, with regulation brass buttons. Instead of a cape it had pointed hood buttoned on at the collar. He also took a gray blanket, navy blue flannel over shirt and two lighter colored cotton shirts. If you run across him arrest on a charge of burglary and notify me. l will prosecute him and can identify the man. The horse is undoubtedly stolen. He carried a carbIne or a short gun ot some kind.
 Respectfully.

An Artist Fooled.

Irving Montagu writes in "Wander- ings of War Artist" "One evening met two very fascinating Spanish girls in quiet quarter of Irun, one of whom, being blonde, was enveloped in white mantilla. It being customary on meet ing a white mantilla to extend her some what similar homage to that paid to royalty, raised my hat, and stepped on one side to allow the couple to pass when, in doing so, saw to my horror, by the light of the moon, that they were followed closely by grim and grotesque reptile, half lizard, half frog, which with series of spaSmodic bounds, was making directly for their heels. Oh, the horrid beast, the indescribable mon strosityl To rush forward and trample on the uncanny thing was the work of a moment.
 ''I was dumfounded; my exploit of heroism, far from inducing the gratitude Iexpected, was immediately followed by roars of laughter, the merry ring of which reverbeTated on the still night air. Unconscionable fool does not ex- press the littleness felt as I was sub jected to the ridicule of those willy dam sells, and if man is capable of that be- coming peculiarity, must have blushed scarlet. 1 had trodden on Fl drap-a piece of cloth cut into the semblance of some monstrous lizard, and attached by a thread to the skirt of the maiden, so that, by certain dexterous movements and hitches it could be made to leap after her as she hurried along. It was the Basque equivalent for the old English jokes practiced on the 1st of April"

How is Your Liver?

A very unnecessary question to ask a man whose skin and eyeballs are saffron tinted. Of course his tongue, too, is furred. bowels constipated, head bother ed with aches, right rIb region plagued with constant uneasy sensation. These you may take for granted, although he may not partlcularize them, because they are among the invariable accom- paniments of liver trouble. Are they chronic? If so you may be sure he does not, as he ought to do, take Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the leading regulator of livers that are out of order. Com mend it to him as highly as please, you can't say word too much in its behalf Sick headaches, consti patlon, nausea, dyspesia and the yellow hue of the skln speedily depart when this reliable cor rectivs is Fesorted to. Malaria, rheu- matism and la grippe are also among maladies which it remedies and pre- vents. A wiDeglassfull three times a day confers appetite and digestion.

Tree, all on the same ledge as the Camp bel, and owned by Mir. Lakenan, possess about the same characteristics, ana formation, which is porphyry and slate. The trend of the veins IS from northeasl to southwest 40 feet. Southeast of the Campbell ia a parallel vein F inches thick, which MT. l.. estimates will assay 100 ounces silver, ? ounces gold and 4C per cent lead. The shaft is but or t feet deep. and the ledge IS several inches wider at the bottom than at the surface. MT. Lakenan certainly has good showing, and it seens to be the universal hope that he will make It pan out handsomely. All these claims are within a mIle or two of Eagle creek, which affords plenty of running water and elegant mill sites.
 Another god district about which there IS beginning to be considerable talk is the Congo mining district, about six miles above Clifton on the San Fr lncisco river, at a place called Bethel. At present the com pany have plenty of ere dug out, but they hud difficulty ID getting burros sufficient to pack" It to the mill. This company is regarded as solid, paying all thelr accouHSe promptly without grace. They expect to have wire and mule tramways from the mines to the mill very shortly, and MT. Thompson says his company Will have railway to connect their opera tions with Clifton within twelve months The officers of the comp ny are Frank Dessert, president; J. s. Hudson, secre tary and treasurer; and c. F. Thomp son, superintendent. MT. Hudson was formerly editor of the Macon Mol Times.
 There are reported good prospects ad- jacent to the above company operations in the Greenlee district, among which IS $. P. Truitt's group, comprising the Uncle Sam, Homestake, and Wales. On the latter IS 40-foot shaft encOuntering ledge of over feet of BIO ore.
 No one, it would seem, could fall to be favorably impressed with the outlook of the Clifton mining district, after once having given it the least study.

CATTLE,
The Prices Steadily Advancing and
 Prospects Good.

W. c. Land, an ArIZona cattleman, makes this statement to correspond emf of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "I have 10000 head of cattle on 8 range near Tombstone. The business is pretty poor thls year; in fact, there has been no money in it for quite B while, the trouble being the oversupply of all American markets. Things are looking up little now Prices have gone up g. a head in the last twelve monts, and for next wear the outlook is better. The improyement is due to the fact that the cattlemen have, by sort of tacit combin- ation killed of large numbers or bre- eding COWS and thousands of calves. At Kansas City the shipments have been composed of COWS to a greater extent than ever before. The same thing IS United States"
 Those who contemplate engaging Tn the cattle business, but delay making their investments will discover the mistake after 1t is too late.
 The best thing in connection with the situation in cattle IS the fact that the position in prices which IS now held has been materially unchanged for some weeks. To make sudden even if great advance would show nothing in particular ss arguing solidity in the market, but to not only make great advance but to hold 1t substantially, and to really increase it, mean "busi- ness" to csttlemen.-Ex.
 The Portland Oregonian says: The great herds of cattle in Southern ard Eastern Oregon are being bought up rapidly and there is danger that the pIice of beef will be advanced greatly before long. It is believed by many that an attempt is being made to "cor her" the cattle market. Papers in various sections of the State report representatives of an Eastern syndi- cate in their respective localities buy ing all the cattle that they can get and making no effort to send them away to any market. It is more than likely, therefore, that systematic effort IS being made throughout the country to raise the price by reducing the supply.
