An Important Discovery.

One of the largest peach growers
around Wyoming is Jacob G. Brown,
who has $4,000 trees on his 400 acres.
He scouts the yellows idea and de-
clares that insects are the sole trouble.
He will ship $4,000 baskets. The in
sect discovery is claimed by Captain
Joseph Bonsall, Thomas P. Hanson
and Cornelius Saxton, and these
growers have yellows cure which is
claimed to be afficacious.
1t is a powder and liquid, and is ap-
piled externally and internally. The
insect is black bug smaller than
pin-head, which buries itself under
the bark and absorbs the sap. While
it Is killing the limbs white worm.
one inch long, with brown head,
is extracting the sap from the roots.
Between them the leaves turn yellow,
and the fruit apparently ripens a
month ahead of time. In two years
the tree is dead. From whence they
come Is not known. Inls spring Mr.
Hanson had 1900 trees affected, but
he applied the remedy, and now they
bear no trace of the disease. Captain
Bonsall successfully applied his rem
edy to several orchards, as has also
Mr.. Saxton.
The insect theory will be sort of
boomerang to growers andlscientists,
but its acceptance is believed to be
only short question of time. Ex-
periments in other directions to de-
termine the cause of the disease will
now probably be abandoned. OF the

THE DESERT LAKE.
The Water Fal1ing--The Salt MIL
Again in Operation.

The indications at Saltor yesterday
were that the desert sea had reached its
highest point and will recede rapidly from
now until it disappears entirely. The
water fell so rapidly yesterday that Su-
perintendent Durbrow started up the
mill yesterday afternoon.
In dispatch to uperintendent Muir
the of Southern Pacific, he says
THE water reached the boiler room
yesterday afternoon, but a high wind
during the night drove it back 200 feet
and lowered it one foot A light wind is
blowing from the south today and a
strong current has set IN from the south,
caused, think, from gravitation draw
ing the water back to still water. The
highest mark was reached this morning
st 6 o'clock. l am running the mill to-
day. GEORGE w. DUBRoN."
1t will be remembered by persons who
have followed the reports from the des
ert that the Colorado river has been
falling rapidly during the past week and
the chances are that the source OF sup
ply was cut of at New river two or three
days ago, but as the water had to pass
through some miles of sand, the flow
into the lake did not cease until 6 o'clock
yesterday morning when the water be
gan to fall and was lowered one foot in q
few hours. The mlll,has not been in oper-
alton for almost week but was started
up yesterday afternoon. which goes to
prove that the superintendent is con-
VInced that the lake is soon to be q thing
of the past.-Los Angeles Times.

The Colorado River.

1t is estimated that the Colorado river
drains "a, 695 square miles, or about
154, S57 600 acres. It's altitude at the
junction OF the Grand and Green rivers,
which form the Colorado, is 1850 feet
above sea level. At Black Cafion it is
900 feet, and at Yuma 12S. According
to the Southern Pacific railroad survey
the top OF the rail on the bridge is 136
feet above the level of the sea. High
tide at the mouth of the river is 30 feet,
and this affects the current and height
of the water In the river for 100 miles
from it's mouth. This is only at storm,
OF the highest tides Of the year.
The average current of the river at
low water is about four miles per hour.
At high water 10 to ID miles
At low water, in March, 1876, the flow
at Yuma was found to be 1868 cubic
feet per second. In May and June it
was estimated to be double. AS one
cubic foot of water will irrigaue 200 acres,
it is found that at the lowest stage of
the Colorado, it can irrigate 1851, GOO
acres of lard, and at its usual height in
May, June. July and August, it will
supply water enough for from three to
four million acres of land, and even then,
leave channel filled with water sufficient
for navigatIon.--Sentinel.

Belief in Sickness.

1t is a very old observation that a domi
rant idea is valuable in controlling the
human being, and whether it be in the
bearing of pain or in the devotion which
leads the Turk to die contentedly before
the Russian bullets, belief is factor that
may be turned to great advantage. In
directly, Christian science may prove al
aid to medical science The intelligen,
physician Of today could receive Il.
greater aid in the scientific practice OF
his profession than to be emancipated by
his patients from the obligation invari
ably to prescribe drug. When people
are willing to employ physicians to order
their lives so that they may live in
health, the custom which binds the ply
stefan to prescribe something for his pa
tient will be unnecessary.
AS we have become more civilized this
state of affairs is gradually coming into

Our Territory.

Eastern, and IN fact, California people
have a mistaken idea in regard to Arr
IONA as country. They think nothi ng
will thrive or grow TO perfection here
except the horned toad and the ella
monster. They entertained the same
opinion Of California for years until the
energy and perseverance of the hardy
pioneer made 1t the garden spot of
America and dispelled the illusion. Our
great territory is spoken of as the Ari-
IONA desert. Did the people who speak
disparagingly OF US, but visit our great
agricultural valleys they would have
met with greatest surprise Of their
lives. They would see bananas, pine
apples, figs, lemons, oranges, peaches,
pears, apples and berries Of all kinds
growing in profusiop, or find one vast
neld OF waving grain. In tire mountain
ranges they would find the hardy miner
digging and delving the precious metals
from the bowels of mother earth. They
would ind vast forests of the finest
timber that ever mortal eyes looked up
on in which an ak was never stuck. Let
them come, let them see and they will
be convinced that they have for years
been grossly slandering our great terri
are unequivocal in praise Of our soil and
climate, and are willing to back their
judgment with their coin. A north and
south railroad will soon give the central
portion Of the territory the facility OF
placing their produce in the eastern
markets in better condition than here
tofore and as our fruits are from one to
four weeks earlier than those Of Cal
ifornia, the top market price can be OBJ
tanned from them. Vast acres OF our
valleys and foot hills can be, and is de
voted TO stock raising. Our mines con
tain gold, silver, lead copper and in fact
nearly every known metal. In the GEN.
trail portion of the territory new coal
field will soon be opened up. These
coal fields cover thousands OF acres of
land and will supply the whole Pacific
coast with coal at moderate cost for
years to come.
The timber lands are 100000 acres in
extent and, it is computed, will furnish
ten billion feet of lumber.
The climate is the finest in the world
In winter it is w8rm, dry, salubrious
and inyigorating in the valleys, while in
the mountains a great deal OF snow
falls, furnishing liberal supply of water
for the valleys below during the follow
ing summer. Come to Arizona, We can
furnish you the finest orange or wheat
lands at from S1.25 to $3.50 per acre,
while land less valuable is selling in
California for $500 per acre. Come now

EXPLORATIONS in Mexico,

News have been received from the

Lumboldtz is now conducting in the
wilds OF the Sierra Madre and northern

The expedition started from Bisbee
Arizona, in the early part OF September
! and entering Mexico, travelled south
ward through the state Of Sonora, with
| the intention of crossing Sierra in the
direction of YanOs and Casas Grandes.
Before entering the mountain region,
however, the explorers separated for a
time, and while Dr. Lumboldtz with a
main body pursued his intended route.
detachment under DR.. Libbey, of
Princeton, made an excursion in more
westerly direction covering some 800
miles of territory. From Granados the
ascent began and continued steadily I'm
til on December md the western slopes
of the Sierra Madre were reached at TIE
Nacory, where northeasternly direction
was taken.
Three mountain ranges had to be
scaled, the highest 5000 feet in height.
The magnificence of the scenery made a
strong impression upon the minds or the
travellers, who took hundreds of photo

The Rravest Five Hundred.

Very few people know that in the
late civil war, out Of the thousands OF
heroes on the rolls, but five hundred
| were awarded the coveted distinction of
the medal of honor. The record of
many OF the exploits for which the
medal has been given shows that they
have been as grand as any in the age of
cavalry, and that they shed brilliant lus
tire upon our national escutcheOn. Anew
work Just published tells the story of
many of these heroes. It's grand, thrill
ing, exciting. Among the stories told
by the boys in blue themselves are the
following: "a Minnesota Boys First
Battle" Fighting Joe's Men, A Hero
Of Antietam," "Foiling an Assassin"
''The Soldiers Scout Story" Three
Thinking Bayonets," "The Salient at
Spot -sylvania," "Mars and Cupid at
Gettysburg" AT the Cannon's Mouth
ETC.. etc. The work is beautifully illus
trated with battle scenes and war pic
lures, also portraits CT the gallant men
who won the medal Such a work is
sure of an enormous sale in any COM
munity. Every old soldiers heart will
beat with pride in reading it, and those
who love deeds of daring and adventure
will be infatuated with the modest. man
