SaltOn Lake.

Superintendent Durbrow of the Salton Lake Works, has just re- turned to Yuma from a trip down the Colorado to the vicinity of the break through which the desert lake is supplied with water. The Senti- mel man interviewed him:
 Upon arriving at the big ere vase or main outlet, sounding were made and the fact was established that the water would continue to flow from the Colorado even at the lowest stage of the rlver, as the cut extended down level with the bot tom of the stream. This can be stop- ped by building a substantial dyke or levee. A large volume of water still flows into this main break, al- though the Colorado river is low and falling daily. By actual measure ment, Mir. Durbrow found that 1900 cubic feet of water flowed through the big crevasse per second.
 "He made a close examination of the locality and is satisfied that the water can be permanently pre- vented from running in the Salton basin from this and intervening points. He says that no serious engineering difficulties are in the way of closing the break and it is mere question ofdollars and cents. Mir. Durbrow was silent when ask ed whether his company would en deayor to close out the river which had damaged the salt property so seriously.
 MT. Durbrow states that the wa ter at Salton has fallen II inches in the past 25 days. and the amount of water now supplying the lake does not equal the evaporation. The greatest depth of the lake is

Carload after carload of stock is rushing through San Antonio for Mexico. Hogs from Kansas City and other points are especially numerous. The object of shippers is to get their animals into Mexico before the new tariff goes into ope- ration Oct. 1st. Between that date and this every pound of meat it is possible to sell in the republic will be disposed ot. The new tariff so materially raises the tariff on American meats that northern sell CTS will be practically barred out It Is understood that the duties were raised on the personal solici- tation of President Diaz in order that the Mexican reciprocity com- mission may have the advantage ground in it's dealings with tl Uni ted States. In the city of Mixico American pork is considered an ex- ceedingly sharp financier and this a move to circumvent it.-Prospec- tor.

A New Railroad Problem.

A new element of discontent is
 likely to enter into the already sur-
 charged railway problem. Some
 roads have already discontinued the
 operation of improbable branches
 and others are contemplating the
 same course. One of the latest in-
 stances in the discontinuance of
 the Meherrin Valley Railroad, ex-
 tending from Emporia, Va., to Mar garetsville, a distance of some sev- enteen miles, and the people along the line are compelled to resort to primitive methods in order to SUD- ply their necessities. Should this movement become in any degree general, which, if it should be de- monstrated that railways can and will abandon the operation of un- profitable branches and extensions, is quite likely-it is probable that demand will be made by tho public for the maintenance of schedule of lines already construct ed. People accustomed to railway facilities will not willingly submit to deprivation of same and in view of the continued cry for lower charges for service the possibility of an extended movement in this di- rection can scarcely be regarded as It will be remembered that Judge Rainey, of Waxahatche, Tex, recently declared the charter of the Texas Trunk Railway forfeit ed to the State and in consequence of such action that road is now be- ing operated, although 1t is supplied by three distinct and separate re- ceivers. A railway is generally, if not uniformly. blessing to any section ot the country through which it runs, and although at times it may be operated so as to develop instances of hardship which afford just grounds of com- plaint, the worst of all hardships is to deprive of such services a section of the country which has been built up and developed through it's infu- ence.-Chicago Railway Review.

RiOting in Arkansas.

Memphis { (Tenn., September 2S. "A special from Mariana Ark, says:
 Bands ofriotous negroes have al- most taken possession of Lee coun- ty, Ark. The killing of Tom. Mil Ter, white man, and agent for J. F. Frank, by rioters here, precipi- tated q serious state ot affairs. In dications for some time-indeed since the reduction of the price of picking cotton, has been that there would be trouble between the blacks and whites. Cotton picking has been suspended in Lee county for several days.
 Saturday an armed gang of about a hundred mounted men took posi- ton along the roadside leading to Franks plantation. The agent of Frank, Tom Miller, met the infuri- ated negroes and tried to dissuade them from rioting intentions, but they shot him down without a mo- ments warning. They proceeded on their way, cursing and abusing every white they met and threaten ing all properity with destruction. When they reached the plantation known as Park Place" the gin house of Bond & Terrel were set on fire and burned to the ground, and afterwards several others in the neighborhood met similar fate.
 The demonstration on the part of the blacks has aroused the entire country, and Sheriff Bond, with a posse of fifty men, is in pursuit of them. It seems that the riOting ne- groes were baited with a barbecue in a canebrake near Hodges place, and the whites surrounded them in the cane last night. No casual ties are reported, except that two of the negroes. who effected an es- cape through the cane and attempt ed to cross the river, were shot and wounded.

The Plain Dealer states the case

The Plain Dealer states the case right when it says:
 The attempt of Balmaceda to grasp and form a strong centralized from of government in Chili was just what certain element in the United States would do at once if 1t had the power. The theft of the presidency in 1866 was a crime up- on which all the lovers of the Amer ican republic look with horror and trembling. This same element that the crime of 1876 is in control of the management of the republican party. The coming elec- ton will be an admirable time to rebuke this class.

A tax of one mill on the dollar for the state and a half mill for counties to go into the shape of sinking funds for the purpose of ex- tinguishing the bonded indebted Hess was provided forin the consti- tuition yesterday. We consider this d wise provision, as it will show to the world that Arizona pledges to sustain her credit and honor, and it will establish confidence in and se- cure market for our bonds, which Gov. Irwin is now trying to sell in the east. And this tax is so slight that it will not be felt, while it pro- vides a certain, sure and gradual remedy for our indebtedness. A step of healthful advancement this. Gazette.

titicates annually issued by the
 United States. But Mir, Giffen seems
 to ignore the fact that every dollar
 so issued has the value of gold dollar behind it. Every ounce of silver which the Treasury of the
 United States buys Is bought at it's gold value in the markets of the world. The silver certificates are in no sense an irredeemable curren- cy, for they can be redeemed imme- diately on their presentation at the Treasury by the payment of their face value in coin. This is in no sense an imitation of the currency. We may be accommodating more money than We can readily use, and some of it may remain locked up in the Government vaults. But why, with a currency redeemable at its full value in coin, and with the refux of gold setting in with full tide toward America,a crisis should be impending in the near future is a thing difficult to comprehend.- Washington Post.

A movement is on foot to have the government open up the Fort Verde reservation to settlers. This re- servation is in the midst of fertile valley and is lying entirely idle and unless the government and to set tiers for whom it would make many pleasant homes If put in shape to be taken up by the settlers. The same may be said of Fort McDo- we'll reservation. Both of these re- servations contain a considerable quantity of fine land in such a po- sition that some hardy pioneers wuold undertake to make them selves homes upon them were they given the opportunity, and both are so located on the Verde river that considerable portions of them can be irrigated. No doubt this matter only needs a little pushing to bring about the desired opening up and parties. as we have already noted, are at work on the matter so far as the Verde reservation is concerned ; why not include the Fort Mcdowell reservation?-Ph9nix Herald.

Politicians in New York are not betting on chances of Democratic success in the state election this fall but are simply placing their wagers on the size of Flowers majority. There are no suggestions of treach- cry. The ticket meets the approval of the business men of New York City, and it has a cordial support from the country districts.- Charleston News and Courier.

Water Rights.

The committee on water rights to which was referred the articles pro posed by the delegates to the con- stitutional convention, have evol- we'd the following as the sense of the committee on that all impor- tant subject. It will no doubt be adopted by the convention and be- come part of the organic act to be submitted to the people.
 SEC. 1.-All natural streams and lakes within the boundries of this state, capable of being used for the purposes of navigation or irrigation are hereby declared to be the pro- perty of the state.
 SEC. 2.-The common law doc Urine of riparian water rights shall never be applied in this state, nor shall the right to use water hereto fore lawfully appropriated to bene- ficial uses ever be denied.
 SEC. 3.-The right of the people to appropriate and use the unap- propriated waters of this state for beneficial purposes, shall never be denied priority of appropriation shall give the better title always.
 SEC. 4.-The right of individuals or corporations to construct reser- voirs and impound and appropri- ate the surplus and food waters in this state, for sale, rental, stock, domestic, or any beneficial purpose, shall never be denied. The first To- cator of a reservoir shall have the priority always.
 SEC. 5.-Every appropriator of water shall use the same reasonably and economically, and his rights shall be measured by his appropria- ation and limited to his necessities.
 SEC. 6.-The mode and manner of acquiring and exercising all of said rights shall be subject to leg islative control.
 SEC. 7.-The legislature shall have power to create irrigation dis tricts and provide for commission CTS therein. Said districts shall consist of one or more counties and power shall be granted them for creating a debt for the purpose of building reservoirs, dams, canals and ditches, and other appliances for the purpose of irrigation; but no debt shall ever be created in such district until the question has been submitted to the legal voters and two-thirds (8) of such voters have voted in favor of such bebt.

Anton Azul, the great chief of the Pima Indians takes advantage of modern inventions with as much ease as though he had generations of civilized ancestors. His teeth troubled him, thatis the few he had left, so he had them all drawn and now he enjoys full set of false teeth. He says they work well and he thinks the white doctor "heap good medicine" Azul is probably the first of his race to wear false teeth.-Prospector.

ty of gas, say five or six cubic yards
 is suddenly produced. It pushes aside and congresses the surround ing air in all directions, and this motion and compression is trans mitted from one portion of the air to another. The amount of motion diminishes as the square of the dis tance; simple calculation shows that at quarter of mile from the point of explosion it would not be one ten-thousandth part of an inch. The condensation Is only momen- tary it may last the hundredth or the thousandth of a second, accor- ding to the suddenncss and violence of the explosion; then elasticity re- stores the air to its original condi- tion and everything IS just as it was before the explosion. A thousand detonations can produce no more effect upon the air, or upon the watery vapor it, than thousand rebounds of a small boys rubber ball would produce upon stone wall. So far as the compression of the air could produce even mo- mentary effect, it would be to pre- vent rather to cause condensation of it's vapor, because it is produc- tive of heat, which produces evap- oration, not condensation. The popular notion that sound may pro- duce rain is founded principally up- on the supposed fact that great bat ties have been followed by heavy rains. This notion, 1 believe, is not confirmed by statistics; but, wheth- CT it is or not, we can say with con- fidence that it was not the sound of the cannon that produced the rain. That sound as physical factor is quite insignificant would be evi- dent were it not for our fallacious way of measuring it. The human ear is an instrument of wonderful delicacy, and when its tympanum is agitated by sound we call 1t q "concussion," when, in fact, all that takes place is sudden motion back and forth of tenth, hundredth, or thousandth of an inch, accom- panied by slight momentary con densation. After these motions are completed the air is exactly in the same condition as it was before 1t is neither hotter nor colder; no cur rent has been produced, no mois- ture added. It must, however, be added that the laws under which the impalpable particles ot water in clouds agglomerate into drops of rain are not yet understood, and that opinions differ on thls subject. Experiments to decide the question are needed, and it is to be hoped that the Weather Bureau will under take them. For anything we know to the contrary, the agglomeration may be facilitated by smoke in the air. If it be really true that rains have been produced by great bat ties, we may say with confidence that they were produced by the smoke from the burning powder rising into the clouds and forming nuclei for the agglomeration into drops, and not by the mere explo- sion.-Prof. Simon Newcomb in the North American Review.

Gold Imports and a Silver Crisis.

In ar interview with Mir. Robert
 Giffen, head of the commercial de-
 pertinent and comptroller of corn
 returns of the British Board of
 Trade, he was asked what truth there was in the circulation that England and the Continent would be forced to part with gold amount ing to e60,000,0O0 to pay for the imports of American grain. Mir. Giffen ridiculed the estimate. He said that before 910,000,00O in bull lion was sent to America, both the Banks of England and the Bank of France would raise their rates ofdis- count and check the drain. Accord. ing to Mir. Giffen, not bullion, but secureties and exports will go 10 America to pay for grain. Un- doubtedly, he said, there would be a heavy drain of gold for several months to come, but the payments for grain were not the sole cause of such drain, An important factor in the financial situation was the silver question. Several American houses, he declared, were making preparations to face a silver crisis. which is now inevitable. by making gold purchases in Europe. When asked if such crisis was inevitable, Mir. Giffen replied: In my opinion. it is impossible to avert 1t. The United States has become overload ed with paper currency. The issue of silver certificates to the amount of e12.OO0,O0O sterling annually was a gross legislative mistake and is bound to bring a crash speedily" In response to an inquiry as to how soon the crash he predicted could be looked fur, Mir. Giffen said: "February will probably realize the worst of the position. I do not see how grave trouble can be averted by remedial legislation. There is hardly time to avert it even if the two parties in Congress should agree upon the means. Press tele- gram from London.

The large export to Europe of wheat and flour made during the month of August are beginning to show their effect in the large ship ments of gold to America which have just commenced. Several mil lion dollars have been already re- ceived and the shipments thus far have been mainly from England. It is, however, regarded as proba- ble that, since the worst harvesis are on the Continent, the bulk Of the gold which will pay for Ameri. can exports will be shipped from Berlin and from the Bank of France. In recent interview with MT. Gif- fen. his opinion was requested in regard to the calculation that 500,
 100000 in gold will be shipped from England and the Continent to pay for imports of American grain. MT
 Giffen very properly replied that, before the Bank of England or that of France would stand a tenth part of such q drain, they would raise their rates of discount to so high d point that further transactions would be rendered impossible through those channels. Our i'm
 ports from Europe are still two thirds of their former volume and value, and European exports, there fore, will go far towards paying for the breadstuffs which may be i'm ported from America. Whatever balance there may be will not be met with bullion obtained at high rate of discount, but by the sacrifice and sale of American securities a method which may have bad ef- feet on the business of the New York Stock Exchange. Mir. Giffen was not so intelligible when he stated that stable American houses were purchasing gold in Europe in preparation for a silver crisis which he regards as now inevitable. The cause of this crisis he believes to be the large quantity of silver cer-
