THERE is now in Mohave county party of gentlemen looking over the country along the Colorado river, with view of putting in an immense irrigating canal. The only place from which canal cap be taken is at Bull Head Point From there thousands of acres above the Need less can he irrigated. Should it be thought feasible the Grand Canyon of the Colorado will be damned up to such height as to allow water to run over Wallapai and Sacramento valleys. The thousands of acres of fertile land to be reclaimed would make the promoters of the scheme immensely rich. This part of what was once called the Great American Desert, would soon become one of the most beautiful and richest countries on the face of the globe.-Needles Eye.

IRRIGATION PROJECTS
 SAFE.

Said John R. Grant, of Grant Brcs., the well-known railroad build CTS, who by the way is one of the most careful, conservative and able observers on the coast, to the Editor of the SENTINEL last Saturday: Af- ter carefully looking over the situa- tion, I am fully convinced that for some time to come, irrigation projects are going to take the lead among our best and most conservative monied men. They have millions for irriga- tion works. where they have thous- ands to put into mines or railroads Capitalists have arrived at the point, where they see the absolute safety in every legitimate enterprise, which tends to bring water and soil to- gether, among which there are no failures, but which bring to the in vestor large, steady and sure return every year, Arizona with them, stands in the front rank, while Yuma with her grand and never failing old Colorado, with her vast area of rich valley and mesa soil, her incompar- able climate, her early and delicious fruits, ahead of them all by weeks, if not months; stands first on the list. I have great confidence in the future of Yuma's irrigation projects. They will receive the attention their merits deserve, which will be among the first to be carried through to a successful completion

People go wild over the product of the Harqua Hala mines without knowing the actual output of the property, The fact of the case is the mines are very small producers. There is thirty stamp mill pounding away night and day, yet the bullion produced monthly falls short of S25,000. Now, we have had mines produce more than that per month for years, hut nothing was ever thought of 1t. $25,OO0 production with thirty-stamp mill should not be considered very wonderful thing -Klngman Miner,
 The Miner is away off in its state ment. The least that the Harqua Hala mines have produced in any one month for long time, was $55,000, and the product has reached $Sl,000 for single month. Even when run ming on the refuse dump with only 20 stamps, the mill never turned out less than 25,000 and averaged $28,000 per month. while running on that grade of ore. The out put at the present time Is little more then $2000 per day.

A man who has forty acres of land in cultivation in this valley is able to make an independent living, re gardless of the price of silver. He can raise his own bread. meat, vege- tables, fruit, eggs, chickens, butter, etc. Bulletin.
 What this country needs as much as anything else to make it prosper, is more forty-acre farmers. With forty acres of Arizona land, well cultivated and under water, an industrious man can make an independent living. No one family can consume the product of that acreage and there Is nothing that grows that cannot be grown to add to family comfort. Senator Stewart held the same opinion when here. But, unfortunately, nine out of every ten of the land owners Tn Arizona, Graham county excepted, are land poor They think if forty acres are good, eight times that amount must be eight times better. Unless of abundant means it is i'm. possible to care for half the quantity, and the result is big farm and big mortgage Give Arizona 500,000 families with forty-acre holdings md there is more land than that in

There Is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other diseases put together until the last few years was supposed to be incur able. For great many years doctors pronounced it local disease, and pre- scribed local remedies, and by con- stantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo. Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It Is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address,

BY means of irrigation crops can be manufactured as surely as wool can be carded, spun and woven into cloth. Sunshine, air and water are the three constituents the soil requires, con- bined with good seed and cultivation to make farming an independent oc- cupation. The farmer by irrigation on our arid lands is a manufacturer of food products; not waiter upon the moods and pranks of nature. He masters phenomenal and makes nat ural law his servant. The average farmer on l60 acres within the humid area clears from $500 to SI,000 per annum; the same farmer in the arid region from Montana to Arizona and from Colorado to California, accord ing to his crops clears on 100 acres from 5000 to $4,O0O per annum.- Irrigation Market.

4 LONG PROCESSION

4 LONG PROCESSION of diseases start from torpid liver and impure blood. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures ev- cry one of them. It aoreUe'ats them, too. Take it, as you ought, when you feel the first symptoms Qan- guor, loss of appetite, dullness, de- pression) and you'll save yourself from something serious.
 In building up needed flesh and strength, and to purify and enrich the blood, nothing can equal the "Discovery." It invigorates the liver and kidneys, promotes all the bodily functions, and brings back health and vigor. For Dyspepsia, "Liver Complaint" Biliousness, and all Scrofulous, Skin and Scalp Dis eases, it is the only remedy that's guaronteed to benefit or cure, or the money is refunded.

NEW MEXICO, says the Phoenix Herald, is in as bad or worse plight than Arizona in the way of being bam-boozled out of display at the Worlds Fair. That Territory put in $40,000 and has pretty near as much to show for it as Arizona has for her S30,000. Five thousand dollars honestly expended in purchasing g display of Arizona or New Mexican cereals and fruits would have made a decent display and given the world an idea of what we are producing. We have bought whole lot of ser vice, however, and maybe some ex- perience; in fact it looks as though our entire reward is experience, the other follows as usual, having the money.-Florence Tribune.

Judge F. L. Ewing and o. F. Townsend have received notice that they are wanted as witnesses in the case of Walter T. Raymond, the would-be great fruit grower on the glaring sands of Glamis. whose trial will take place early in Oc- tober in Chicago. He is accused of using the U. s. mail for unlawful purposes.
 While at Picacho we were pleas ed to meet old friends in J. NJ. Vaudeville and his pleasant family who reside there. MT.

Castle Dome.

We had the pleasure of spending Wednesday night at this famous old camp on the Colorado, where so many hundreds of thousands of pounds of rich ore have been shipped to Yuma, for re-shipment both east and west for reduction. There are now but three families on the east side and four on the west side of the river. About 45 men are employed in the mines 20 miles distant, from which the ore is hauled to Castle Dome on wagons. Besides these, P. B. Hodges has 40 men cutting wood and delivering it on the bank of the river, ready for shipment to Picacho. There being no school in the place, Juan Maclis has en- ployed a lady to teach his child ren at his residence. The wood choppers, miners, and teamsters give the place an air of business. Hodges Bros. have @ beautiful ranch on the west side of the river just above the landing. The Colo rado river Apache Indians corn and bean fields are looking we'll. The wild hogs roam along the river banks at pleasure, and seem ingly without fear, but run away if the steamer approaches too near them. Live stock of all kinds is looking we'll and doing finely.

Teaehlne Horses a lesson.

Teaching a now horse to come out OF
his stall at the fire alarm signal and
range himself alongside the pole is not
so difficult as might be supposed.
Imagine q pair Of new horses assigned
TO an engine. The surroundings are more
or less terrible to them, but they are
very gently and carefully handled and
gradually lose their fear. Their tuition
begins at once, and the driver is their
teacher, assisted by the other men.
The ordinary signal is given, as if for
a fire. The stall doors open, and the
horses are led out, put in position, and
in few minutes led back. This process
is perhaps a dozen times repeated. Great
pains are taken that the animals shall
not strike against anything, or be by any
means frightened.
The unusual spectacle of n harness sus-
pended in air is apt to disturb them at
first, but they are led slowly up to it and
induced to smell Of it and inspect it on
all sides.
After they nave been led to their posi-
hons few times they are allowed to
come Of their own accord when the sig
nal strikes, though a man stands behind
them to touch them up little if they do
not start promptly at the opening of the
doors. Two weeks constitute the aver
age period Of instruction, but horses have
been known to learn in one lesson. 9th
ers, however, are months in arriving a.
equal profciency.-"Road, Track and |

Interior navigation has long held a
prominent place in the traffic of France,
and it is not surprising to learn that the
length of navigabie waterways in that
country is 5000 miles, of which $50 miles
are returned as tidal, Z. 100 miles naviga-
bic without works, 1880 miles canaized
rivers and 5000 miles canals. The state
looks ont for all but z per cent of this
network, which is therefore practically
free from tolls. This system of inland
navigation has cost about $3GO. .O0O. COO
for construction and purchase and $25,-
600, COO for concessions. The annual cost
of maintenance is about s., 600, GOO, or
1925 a mile, which covers all expendi-
lures whatsoever. The number of YES
sells employed on the waterways is be-
tween 1900 and 10000 About 26 per

Moreover, about 2,OOO foreign boats

motive power is now almost entirely
furnished by draft animals, although
few steam tugs are used on the Seine,
