that this whole agency business, in all its

the results thsrefrom, were entirely in
favor OF the interests and profits Of the

and the management wore guilty of gross
neglect in their duties In permitting such

can give the names of scores of business

taken policies in both companies on ex-
aotly the same plans and amount, and in

OUR FINE WELLS.

The success which has, and Is attend
 ing the sinking of wells, in and near
 to town, and the excellent water ob-
 tained, are matters of much interest
 to our citizens. The SENTINEL has long been of the opinion, that in the question of reducing expenditures at the territorial prison, no one project could be of more benefit to that insti- tuition, than that of sinking well near the river bank, which the river would always supply with good clear water, it having passed through the sand, thus Altering it of all, dirt, sand and filth. With such water to supply the boiler of the pumping plant, there would be less wear and tear upon the boiler and machinery, less expense in keeping pipes, fues, and reservoirs, clean and good supply of the best and dearest of water, at very small daily expense, objects not to be over looked in the financial and daily of the prison.

A Splendid Offer.

The San Diego & Phoenix Railroad
 company this morning received a let
 ter informing them of the granting to
 them of right of way for their road
 through the AIgodones land grant tract owned by the Colorado River Ir rlgation company on the Arizona side of the Colorado. The letter states that just as soon as the railroad com pany decides upon the crossing of the river and the locating of its line from
 Yuma to that point the Irrigation company will issue it's deed to the rail- road free of cost. It has also decided
 to at once build a large canal from
 Yuma to the Mexican boundary line, a distance of twenty-two miles, and in case the railroad company decides to cross the Colorado near that point the irrigation company will give the railroad either bank of the canal as preferred, all graded and ready for ties, for the twenty two miles free of cost-that is, the irrigation company will grade whichever side of the canal chosen free of cost and present the grade and right of way. Should the railroad decide to cross the river at or near Hall Hanlon's the track would cross the irrigation company's lands for five miles or more, which they also stand ready to donate. Should the crossing be below this, the railroad will be On the bank of one of the finest canals in the southwest, lined, as is proposed, with all sorts of fruit trees, while on the other side of the canal will be one of th2 finest avenues and drives in the world. The letter closes by stating that the offer is made by order of the president and the unanimous vote of the directors of the company.-San Diegan Sun,

A Big Hotel in the Vyilds.

A S10O,0O0 hotel building at
 Yuma, Ariz., at the very borders of the U, s. seems like a wild tale. Yet such a building is to be erect ed at once, and the projectors and owners are the Southern Pacific Railway Company. It is to be erected on a knoll known as Mob Hill, a magnificent building site commanding a view of the valleys in every direction as we'll as of the mountains beyond. The erection of such costly hotel at this point is strong evidence of the owners faith in the future of this wild des- ert region, now that irrigation has proved what wonders 1t accomp- fishes and has been practically as- sured to this desert about and be- yOnd Yuma. Canals are now being built that will bring the surplus waters of the Colorado river upon this dry soil of decomposed granite, detritus, etc., and that accomplish ed, fruits, vegetables, grains and grasses grow in rich profusion and rapidly make a most wonderful change in the appearance of the country and in it's capacity as a market for manufactured goods of all kinds, machinery, building ma- terial, etc.
 The plans, specifications, etc., for the hotel are all complete and accepted and the R. R. company's mechanics will do most of the construction. The purchase of materials will be made as the work progresses.-Chicago, Ameri- can Contractor.
