 An age of gossip is always an age of degeneracy, of moral decay. The day of ruflies and gold brocade, of powder and patch and farthingale of silken doublet and satin hose was a day of petty thought and artifi- ciality of literature, art and lie. We are gradually reyiying the man ners and dress of that day, but let us not revive. as there are indications, of our reyiving the gossiping atmos- phere of that not so far away time. To aid in our aesthetic development let us seek, if we please, the graces of the past, but in our moral devel- opment let us not step backward. The one increasing purpose that runs through the ages, that justifies human existence, is moral progress ion. This applies to the individual no less than to the nation. to the smaller act, no less than to the greater. By resolving to live above the miasma of idle gossip, by striv- ing to be pure minded toward each other. we can make our summer resting time a spiritual as we'll as a material blessing. A.s.y.

Irrigation Pump Fraud.

A most base affair has recently come to light in connection with the pumps purchased by the Yuma Pumping and Irrigation Company. The pumps were made at Greely Col, and it seems there was q sue cessful conspiracy which was made to reach the workmen in the shops, by which the pumps sent to Yuma were shipped in such condition that they would not work up to their capacity. This fact was noticed soon after the pumps were set up here, and resulted in a correspondence with the manufacturers.
 As consequence the conspiracy was sifted and all the men connected with it, including the superintendent of the factory, were summarily dis charged. The manufacturers then sent Mir. Ewing, thoroughly com potent man, to Yuma and he has been engaged iu overhsuling the pumps and fitting them in good working order. The pumps now throw twice as much water as for merly.-Yuma Times.

 Superintendent Bradley, of the Elkhsrt, has sent in another car load of lead ore this week aud had it run through the sampler. The mine is producing over car load n week from the drifts now being driven north and south from the bottom of the shaft. As soon as stoping is commenced there are not enough teams in the county to re- move the ore as it is sent to the sur face.
 Harry Hanna and Erin Sherman have gone to work on the Rainbow mine, near Sherum's Peak. Some five years ago the Rainbow employ ed large force of men and hun dreds of tons of lead, rich in silver, was taken from it. The low price of lead and silver caused the aban. donment of the mine the following year, and it has remained idle ever since. Now that two energetic men have taken hold of this property we expect to see it take its place among the big producers of the county.
