A grand scheme is on foot for the working of the thousands of acres of placer ground in the vicinity of the old town of Ehrenberg, says the Mo- have Miner. An English company, with capital of $2,OOO,0OO will put in a wing dam in the Colorado river, and with immense pumping machinery will force water at great pressure all over the surrounding country. The ground has been worked for years with dry washing machinery and many thousands of dollars have been taken out. There are also many low gaade lodges there that can be worked should the water be forced over the base of the mountains. The under taking promises to be profitable in vestment.

 On all sides the county is green. Towering plants and trees make a beautiful contrast to the carpet of green as far as eye can reach. Beyond the city are great ranges of mountains, and to the north arises ths old Volca- no de Colima, whose crown, l2, ,OOO feet above the sea, is often capped with snow. IVY
 Colima has population of about 30,OOO people, probably 90 per ,ent Indian blood. ..t is surrounded by orchards and groves. Tons of the finest Hines and oranges go tv waste every year. They attach no COL; mer- cial value co them whatever. Colima like all cities. has it's rich and its poor but the latter is vastly in prepOnder- ence. There has been great deal written and talked about "Colima the beautiful" and "high life in the trOp- ics." Here you see every phase of it. It is like all Mexican cities of note, laid out in light angled streets a.,d maca,lamized with cobb!e stone and kept very clean.
 Two fine rivers run through the town. There are many attractive stores also cathedrals, one of which was built before the Conquest and shows it's atiquility by grim walls covered by shrubs and vines protrud- ing from rents in the walls.
 T,e governor kindly loaned me n book from his immense library entitled 'Our Sister Republic" written by Col. Albert $ Evans who accompanied d Hon. Wm. H Seaward on his tour oi Mexico in 1869. They arrived in this city on Oct. II. 1869 from San Fran cisco. MT. Evans speaks in glowing terms of their reception and subse- quent banquet here, and the luxury of the county, the happiness of it's people, etc., but am afraid his eyes deceived him.
 Today being Sunday, we had the "hOnor" of seeing the high priest go by in his sumptious carriage, and no tiLed that it was exclusively the poor people who knelt down with hat in hand and arms extended, till his highness passed by.
 We entered the old church and looked at the high priest and his at tendants with their rich and dazzling robes, and the golden images, and the iridescent light flooding the altar all the sweat and blood of the laborer. Then we glanced at the kneeling de- voted mass of poor wretches each con- tributidg few coppers tha: ought to have gone for some sick child at home. Our heart went out in pity for them It looked such mockery.

 ED. PRosPEcToR We took the the train at Manzanillo, which runs tri.weekly to Colima city, the capital of Colima, on June 23d. This railroad is narrow gauge, but the track and rolling stock are not. It IS very pleasant ride from the sea to the capi- tai and the scenery at this time of the year, is grand. We passed great herds of the fattest cattle I have seen for years, and they remain so the year around. We dashed through groves or cocoa trees, through groves of wild plum trees, by coffee and sugar plant ations, wild lines. banana and plan tain, rice and corn fields. Some oi the corn had been harvested lew weeks previous, some just being gath cred and some just peeping through the soil.
 We caught glimpses of villaiaa hidden among the palY
 tropical plants, aa2G .,. La,.

The school house muddle must be
settled sooner or later. The trustees
will never bs allowed to disfgure the
building without first fighting an in
junction which will be sure to be placed
upon it. The only intelligent way ont OF
the difficulty is for daily appointed
committee Of citIzeGs to examine the
building and then whatever their -le-
cision may bs let il be followed. They
must, when appointed, be authorized ID
employ such expert testimony as in their
judgment is required to settle once and
for ali time, the periodical sensation Of
danger TO the lives Of the children

report, whichever way it may be, will be
satisfactory to our people We believe
that they will be willing to act. II is a
duty they owe to themselves and To the

IRRIGATION in Dakota is carried on by
means of artesian wells as may be seen
by the following extract taken from the
Albuquerque Citizen:
The Dakota Farmer, published at Hu-
ron South Dakota. by ". T. L. Bushnell,
OF Albuquerque, issued special edition
few days ago devoted to irrigation. As
is generally known, the most Uf irriga-
tion in the Dakotas is carried on almost
exclusively by means Of artesian wells
of which there are now several hund-
dred pouring forth water in appai iently
ineIhaustible quantities. In view OF the
inestimable benefits which We know
would accrue TO this section OF New
Mexico from the discovery OF artesian
water 10 this vicinity, everything con-
rected with this subject has direct
interest Of our people. AS an illustra-
tion OF the value Of one well, We copy
the following from the Farmer. referring
70 the one which furnishes the city It's
water supply:
Before TINS we'll was put down the
city was supplied with water for fire and
and domestic purposes by system Of
Holly Water works, which was operated
at great expense. In 1886 the well
was put down over 800 feet, at an ex.
pense Of S4.00 fooU. A pressure was
secured varlously estimated at from l2O
tr l70 pounds to the square inch, Ordi-
narily tie pressure is kept in the mains
at about 30 pounds, while some go gal
Ions per minute are discharged by the
waste pipe into the James River This
one well less the waste mentioned,
is now used to supply the place OF the
former expensive water works system.
There are in the city three miles OF street
mains. 3, 6, and 4 inches in diameter,
supplying % fire hydrants, three water
troughs(always running), two fountains,
two-hundred water consumers, six water
motors, running printing presses, laun-
dries etc. ninety lawn sprinklers, five
livery stables, hotels. etc. The Chicago
& North western Railroad Company alec
use water for washing boilers, etc. The
well was completed in October, 1886, and
has been in use ever since. The expense
o running, keeping in repair. ETC., is
ve-y light; the principal part Of the time
of the commissioner when employed is
spent in collecting water rents.

TUCSON TRADE.

This being the dull season-for it |:
always dull in Tucson during the sum-
mer months OF June and July-it is nat
ural for new comers and those who Ere
not acquainted with the country, to ask
whether the town is Lot unusually
dull" and "what will bring trade ard IN
creased business in the fall?" Th.se
! questions have to our certain knowledge,
been asked every year for the past four
or five years; therefore they are not new,
but simply repetition of the past. But
there is less grounds FOR doubt now than
al any period in the history OF Tucson.
There is more land in cultivation IN this
county than there has been for many
years past. and being increased every
year. There are just as many now mining
and prospecting in Southern Arizona
who purchase supplies here, as there
ever we're, while tae cattle business has
been largely increased during the past
year. and will continue TO increase
rapidly from this time forward. Hither-
to it has been hard 10 arrive at any
thing like an estimate of the cattle IN
this county, and until late years did lit
tie moro than supply the home demand
To-Day We have markets both east and
west fer cur beef. and with the expan
sion cf our cattle ranges the demand
will increase.
The trade of Tucson e&terds to the
Gulf of California Oh the South vest,
and for about 200 miles up ard down
the Southern Pacific railroad. We car
safely count on supplying al area Of
surrounding territory equal TO 2OO
miles square, or 10000 square miles.
which is equal to few states the size
of Ohio. Itis true that much of thin |
territory is sparsely settled, hut when |
we come 10 supply the wants Of the peo- |
pie who inhabit this wide expanse OF |
country we find that they are by no
means insignificant.
There ara hundreds and hundreds OF
gold and silver ledges in the territory |

OF which have been thoroughly develop

long after the present generation shall
