Geronimo Elizaldo came up from the Cocopah country Satur- day and returned on the steamer Electric Tuesday. His boat load ed with three tons of provisions went down the river Wednesday in charge of that old veteran river pilot, Cocopah Mike. Geronimo is working his gold quartz mine with good success and has excel lent prospects for the future. There are 17 miners at work in the new placers at the east end of the Mt. Mejor range of mountains.
 On Sunday evenings east bound overland was beautiful Pullman car, upon the sides of which was a piece of canvas extending from end to end, on which were painted these words: Pennsylvania Railway Company Locomotive Engineers. From Harrisburg to Atlanta, Ga., via San Francisco" It was filled with 19 locomotive engineers from that great road with their wives, on their way to attend the grand convention of Locomotive Engi- neers at Atlanta Ga. They were a very fine looking set of men.
 The river is rising rapidly stand ing to-day at 2l feet 1 inch. In the great flood of 'S4, May Eth, it guaged 20 feet 6 inches; last year 22 feet 10 inches. For the last 8 weeks it has been about 20 inches higher than the average at the same dates for 13 years.

the valley from one end to the other, and those whose faces once wore such woebegone expressions are now wreathed ip smiles and feel that brighter prospects are theirs for the future.
 Those who were fortunate enough to get in crops this year will be amply repaid for their labor.
 To show what this soil will do I will state that forty pounds of barley is the amount of seed that is sown to the acre and when it is properly put in and cared for, yields from fifty to seventy bushels of grain per acre. "With plenty of land that can be bought at from $l0 to $50 per acre with water-rights included, is it any wonder that the settlers have such hopeful feelings. This is the homo of alfalfa and the grape, and nowhere have seen the alfalfa or grape grow so rapidly and prolific as they do here.
 ] plucked some alfalfa from a field that is just year old and has been cut six times, that measured six feet six inches long and was fully three eighths of an inch in diameter at the large end.
 One year old grape vines would be mistakened for two year old or over vines, both as to size and the amount of grapes they bear. This year will demonstrate the kind of raisins that can be made here which from the size and quality of the grape if prop erly cured can't be otherwise than frst-class.
 The farmers are through with their having and bountiful crop they had, and are now getting ready to con- mence harvesting.
 Sheriff Nugent was here a short time ago assessing and he was much at the wonderful changes that had taken place since his visit here one year ago.

THERE WILL BE NO WAR.

The people of Yuma and vicinity, and the public generally need not be disturbed over the "fake" sensational item published in local paper, in re- gards to an impending bloody struggle between the Oocopah and Yuma h. dIans in Yuma, for there is not a word of truth to bear out any such statement. For years the two tribes have been on the best of terms, and never were more friendly than they are at the present time. The feuds of 40 years ago have all been settled and forgotten. This is also true of them in their relations to the Pimas, Maricopas, Mohaves and other neigh boring tribes, attending their feasts and religious ceremonies, thereby proving that they wish to live in peace with each other and all man. kind. In conversation with 8 dozen or more of the leading Indians among the Yumas and Cocopahs, they all expressed the desire to have no trouble with any one, to live in peace, to obey the law, and to do all within their power to elevate and advance the best interests of their people.
 When we come to the fact that DOT Sion of both tribes live on this side of the river, the Cocopahs have just as good right to live here, as the Yumas do to live in the Cocopah country, where there are large num- Der of them and in fact as the Yumas do to live here, while they belong across the Colorado. One tribe is no better than the other. Their habits, customs, vices and modes of living are very similar, and while they are here they must respect and obey the law. There is no doubt but that we have among us a few meddlesome Cranky" white men who are trying to stir up some bad feelings between the tribes, but there is no fear of any bad blood being aroused, for these cranks have no more influence among the Indians than they have among their own kind. So far as our citizens are con- cerned they have no right whatever to drive the Cocopahs out of the United States, or even off from gov ernment land. The right of asylum as yet has never been placed under the control of mob law, nor subject to the whims of ''fakists." The publi- cation of such interpretations does more injury to Yuma in particular and Arizona in general, than all of the earthquakes on the Pacific Coast. It is not strange that English dudes go armed to the teeth and covered with cartridges on passing through Yuma, when they read these blood thirsty fakes, written up by such "Yawpts" merely to create sensation.

TEN ACRES ENOUGH.

The great progress made in raising fruit has abolished the old idea, that in order for one to make a good living or even fortune, he must own all of the land that joins him. The success that has attended those who have devoted their time, money if they had any, and energy to 5, 10 or 20 acres has been almost miracle. The actually poor in purse, worried farmers, of the west, are those who own hundreds, perhaps thousands of acres, whose expenses for help, and appliances with which to work them, eat up all of their in- come and more, keep them in debt. The man who contents himself with a home of ten acres, who devotes all of his means both physical and financial to its improvement now finds that he has more rest, peace and comfort during the year, and more cash at the end of it, than he who roams, frets and foams over the management of the help necessary to cultivate his hundreds of acres.
 The time is close at hand when large farms will be the exception. Already the large ranchers are cut ting up their land into small lots, thus increasing the population, pro- duetions and profits and in this way the prosperity of the country.

DO YOU WANT TO MARRY?

or do you wish social letters from gentle men and ladies of culture and means from all over the country? If so, just send on ten cents and receive copy of the elegant matrimonial journal called the Orange Blossoms which will afford you more healthful enjoyment than you have had for many day. Each number contains hum dreds of letters from young ladies and gen. tlemen wanting correspondents from those of the opposite sex. The Orange Blossoms has the largest matrimonial bureau in the United States, through which hundreds are introduced to each other yearly and many are the happy marriages thereby formed. The business has grown to be recognized by the leading people of New | England as filling a lOng-felt want in society. One would be surprised to see the | high. toned class of people who do business 1 with this bureau. It is no "Cheap John" affair but one of the leading business con- cerns of Boston and is largely patronized by | the better element, and by that mean the honest, worthy people who are working at fair wages and are looking for true mate somewhere. If there is a man or woman who has not found his or her affinity here's the golden opportunity. Don't wait, as this advertisement wont appear long in this paper unless there are many responses.
 Wrap the ten cents in a piece of news paper, or it will work out of the envelope. |

body said anything. One pair, in par
ticular, was sizing him up keenly,
though Paul made no note of it. They
belonged to Jim Archer, the most
famed reporter on the Orb's staff.
Archer was the envy and admiration
of all the other young fellows. He got
$40 a week more than the rest, besides
plenty of contracts with Chicago, st.
Louis. and Eastern papers to keep
them posted with specials. Archer, in
his day, and his day was vet young,
had run down two murderers to their
lairs, who had baffied the detectives,
and secured their arrest. He was a
graduate of the University of Michigan,
and could write clean-cut English. He
might have been writing now at an cdr
itorial desk, had he chosen. But he did
not so choose. He liked his present
work, its excitement and rivalry. He
was such a quiet-looking fellow that
you would never have suspected his
penchant for police mysteries. His eyes
were his only remarkable feature, coal
black, large, keen, and impenetrable.
They read you through and through,
but gave no inkling in them of their
owners thoughts. Archer was other

luck, perhaps. A good many
people had to go to the reception TO
the Rev. DR.. Founder of Chicago, and
they will be glad enough to know that
they have not missed Professor Duntz,
after all. He is such an interesting
lecturer, and his, subject is so i'm
portant."
Paul assured the philosopher that
the Orb would be sure to shine for Prof.
Duntz, and then fastened back a
couple of blocks to, the club. His card
immediately produced the Colonel, and
the explanation that he was caught in
that part of the city, with some letter
writing to do, gave him the use of the
club library without delay. No n
else was there. An exciting game of
last ball pool" with champagne for
the crowd as a forfeit, had drawn
everybody to the billiard room on the
top floor. The Colonel was in too big
a hurry to get blackstone practical
joker might play for him, and stick
him." in his absence, a $50 thought
to permit him to ask Paul inconvenient
questions.
So Paul sat himself down in a great
leather-covered, ''sleepy-hollow" chair,
by a drop-light, and broke the

Paul wrote away for dear life. He
was dying to open Miss L~ebourgeois

many staring eyes. Their assignments
called their sors away, one by
one, and they clattered down
the shaky stairs and out
into the street to their evenings work.
Arther still fingered, but Paul did not
heed him. Archer had very little to do
with the other reporters, had none of
the comradeship of his profession. and
was rather looked up to as a superior
than sought out for a chat and a social
drink. Paul's contact with him was
confined to a chance ''Good morning.
