Lost From a seaIer.

PORT TOWNSEND. March 19.-Three
seamen, who we're lost from sealing
schooner, name unknown, arrived at
Neah Bay last night, after being out in
the ocean for two days in an open boat.
They were hunting seals when heavy
fog descended on the water and their
vessel was lost from sight. They stopped
at Destruction lighthouse and secured
enough provisions to last until their ar
rival at Neah Bay.

What is generally considered TO be the
most weird and picturesque lighthouse un-
der American control is that on Tillamook
rock, built on surf swept crag of basalt
about 80 miles south of the mouth Of the
river. The Astorian says it was a stupend-
Gus task to build that light. The great diff
iculty in approaching the rock, even in the
smoothest weather, the narrow sloping sides,
the distance from this city, which is the
nearest base of supplies, make 1t a matter
of delay, danger, difficulty and expense.
When the work was ordered it was long
time before force OF men started to do
anything. The first day, in effecting q
landing, the foreman of the working party
was drowned. Four days after four work.
men with hammers. drills. bolts, PROVISIONS,
fuel and a stove, and canyas tent, managed
to get on the rock, and a few days later five
men more got there, and the work begun.
1t took three years Of unremitting labor
and great expense. 1t Is built Of stone,
brick and iron, and is inaccessible for
months at time. Some night the whole
thing will be swept away.

What Is Good Baking Powder7

1t is well known fact that carbonate of
ammonia is used by bakers in the preparation
of the finest and most wholesome bread and
cake, and has been from time immemorial.
1t is among the oldest and at the same time
most healthful constituents of baking powders.
1t is all evolved in gas by the heat of the
oven, and leaves no trace of itself in the food,
and it is this that gives it its great value as a
leavening agent in the opinions of physicians

Albany Herald: VIM. Telly, an old man.
who lIyes across the river in Benton county,
was found Saturday morning lying beneath
the trestle work at the north end of the
Oregon Pacific railroad bridge, where he
had fallen some time during the night.
Medical aid was summoned. 1t was found
that he was not badly hurt. but was in a
drunken stupor. He had come to this city
the day before, and brought over two sacks
of greens, which he exchanged for whisky.
He was evidently pretty well loaded when
he started home some time in the night.
Being intoxicated he fell from the trestle,
distance of about 30 feet, and. strange to
say, was not seriously hurt. He had q
black eye and was bruised considerably,
but no bones were broken.

Moscow Netcs: Little Leonora La Belle,
of this city, left for Deer Head, s. D., last
Sunday morning. She is probably the
youngest passenger that ever travelled alone
over the Union Pacific or any other road in
this country, being only three years old.
She left this city with her ticket pinned on
her cloak. She has gone to visit her grand
mother in South Dakota, and it will take
just three days and three nights of continu-
GUS travel to perform the journey. We
predict that the railroad boys will take
great care of the interesting little traveller
on her long and wearisome journey.

ALBANY, Or, March 19-Frank Wilson
and j. G. Baker, tramps, aged 90 and 16.
were arrested near the depot this morning
for robbing Father Metayer, a Catholic
priest. They knocked at his door at 1
O'Clock this morning, aud on being ad-
mitted, struck the priest down and ran
sacked his house. They secured $12 IN
coin, watch and several minor articles
and escaped. Father Metayer, thoroughly
frightened, ran in his night clothes to the
depot hotel, where he begged protection.
The city marshal was at the hotel and i'm
medlately started after the ruffians. The
priest was given clothes and escorted
home, and is now in the hands of ply
sician. He received cut oyer the head
from the butt of a revolver, and has other
bruises. He is confident that he would
have been killed had he not escaped.
The tramps attended the service in the
church the night before, no doubt to be.
come acquainted with the premises, as
the priests house adjoins the chapel.
The grand jury today indicted the boys
for burglary. The town was thrown into
the widest excitement this morning by
the news, as Father Metayer was well
known and universally liked.

Great Enterprise for Yuma
Comfy.

The Denver Financier has the
following to say in regard to one of
Yuma's most important irrigation
enterprises:
"a number of leading capitalists
of Denyer have organized the Ari-
IONA and Sonora Land and Irriga-
ton Company, capitalized at ST.
100000. The directors are Samuel
N. Wood, late cashier First Nation.
al Bank; G. II. Dow, president
Commercial National Bank; F. P.
Ernest, president American Ma
tional Bank; Frank Church, vice
president American National Bank !;
Jas. N. Carlisle, treasurer State of
Colorado; Jas. II. Brown, o. M.
Kitridge and Frank A. Miller, at
torneys, Denver.
The company will take its water
from the Colorado river, some dis
lance above Yuma, and descend
along the valley of the Colorado
until Yuma is reached, and there
cross the river into Old Mexico. A
large concession or grant of land at
q mere nominal price has been OBJ
tanned from the government Of
Mexico, which will be watered and
sold to settlers in small tracts for
fruit growing. These rich plains
and valleys in Southern Arizona
and in Old Mexico adjoining are
said to be the most valuable in the
country for growing fruit, such as
oranges, lemons, bananas, grapes,
peaches, prunes, etc. This is a
great enterprise, useful to mankind
and liable to be of great profit to its
promoters.
Considerable attention is being
attracted recently to these valuable
fruit Glands in Arizona. Similar
lands, and no better, in California
sell readily for hundreds of dollars
per acre. Here the same rich pro-
ductive soil, with similar climate,
can be obtained for almost moth
ing. ALI it needs is water, and it
will blossom and bring forth fruit
in abundance. There are great
opportunities here for capital and
enterprise"
The Arizona sentinel. [volume] (Arizona City [Yuma], Yuma County, A.T. [Ariz.]) 1872-1911, 1892-06-25

THE grand progress which marks
the organization of new irrigation
enterprises, the success which has
attended the raising of sufficient
capital to carry them forward to
completion, and the wonderful re-
suits, thus far obtained in irrigating
our rich valleys and mesas, here
tofore supposed to be only desert
wastes are proofs of the great
strides which Arizona is making
in the development of one of her
latent natural resources. The time
is not far in the future when the
traveller, the passerby will see the
long stretches of our orange, lemon
and lime groves, forests of our figs
and olives, gardens of berries and
small fruits, and on the higher
attitudes fields of apples, pears,
plums and cherries, and in our
southern valleys wide areas of the
pineapple, cocoanut, banana and
other like fruits.

Awell-known and wealthy east
ern capitalist writes the Editor OF
the SENTINEL as follows:
"Of the several projects which
you have laid before US for the
safe investment of capital none
strike US more favorably than that
of putting up q good smelter in
Yuma, in fact we go further than
you do, and say put up good re-
auctions works that can handle
100 tons of ore per day, that will
work your, smelling, free milling,
base and most refractory ores. No
matter even if they contain anti
mony, arsenic, sulphur, iron and
copper. We are well AWARE that
this involves much greater out
lay of capital than a. mere smelter,
but with such a plant we can work
your Castle Dome, Bill Williams
Fork, San Felipe, and other base
ores as we'll as we can, the free
milling ores of Harqua Hala and
the San Antonio gold ores near st.
Georges Bay. In this case we
shall put on our own steamers and
barges, so that the miners can de-
pend upon shipping their ores every
week and getting their pay for
them on delivery. In this way
we feel certain as you say, that we
can rely upon at least 100 tons of
ore per day. Your maps, state
ments of the quantity of ore, ex-
tent number and richness of your
Colorado river mines have met
with general approval.
Our chief engineer and our expert
are nearly ready to go out and look
over the great area of rich mineral
prospects which we know exists in
your section. The samples of ores
you sent US last fall and again a
few days ago are more than salts
factory. You can rely upon
Yuma's having plant soon, that
will enable her miners to go ahead
and develope their claims and
prospects and make mines of
them"
