Grand Storage Reservoir

One of the best water storage res ervoir propositions to 6e found in
 the United States, is Devil
 Cayon," in northern Arizona. It runs through vast plateau empty ing in to a great plane of millions of acres of rich alluvial land. This canyon is about thirty miles long. In depth 1t is from 15O to $50 feet and the same in width. It Is a box canyon for most of the distance, there are many places where it is not more than one hundred feet wide, where dam could be built at a minimum cost, as the rock can be taken out of the canyon for for the same. A dozen or more ol these dams could be constructed at different points and canals run out on it's mesa lands thus reclaim  ing millions of acres of land to agriculture. The surprising fact, is that the land department of the Atlantic & Pacific railroad has not arranged to use this great natural storage reservoir to reclaim its lands. It is the most practicable business proposition for capital that can be found anywhere, and 1t means much for northern Ariz- ona, and the railroad company the land in that section is the finest in the world for all kinds of agriculture products peculiar to northern climes.-Tucson Star.

 It is in the realm of the goddess Pomona where the infinite riches of this country will be found All the citrus fruits are at home in Yuma. The orange, the lemon and the lime make fragrant with blossom and fruit all the days of the year, ani such oranges, lemons and lines as grow mo- where else in the United States. Mexico and the islands of the sea do not produce finer oranges; in size; flavor and color, they simply perfect. The lemol are equals of Sicily, than which none finer grow. The lime is as large, juicy and purely acid those of Acapulco, Mexico, from whence those for the California market largely come.
 The date grows as rapidly and healthy as in Per sia Arabia, and will in time become an nport- ant tree for it's fruit and ornamental purposes The long-ived olive is at home here, and will add it's contingent of oil and pickles to the wealth of the land.

 What shall we say of the endless grape family that ripen here more than a month in advance of any locality. Morocco, Spain, France nor Hungary, which have sent l1s their finest varieties cannot surpass Yuma For productiveness, size and flavor, our grapes are uneXcelled.
 The list of production already given, although long, might be extended indefinitely, for every thing native to the semi tropics may be added. This however, is not necessary, for in those al ready mentioned are noted possibilities of luxury and wealth for those who settle in this virgin country.

GoIOrado's Great Nuggeu.

One of the largest nuggets in the history of mining has been hoisted out of the Smuggler mine at Aspen, Col, and for size surpasses any thing on record, and for richness is certainly the most remarkable ever brought to the notice of the pubic. The find, it is believed, has no equal in the history of min ing. A few days ago the workmen encountered a huge body of ore and in digging around it ascertained that 1t was a monster nugget, the like of which has not been known in this or any other camp.
 After considerable work they succeeded in hoisting it to the sur face intact. The chunk weighed $500 pounds and contained silver to the value of $25,OOO. It is the largest silver nugget ever known, and, what is most peculiar, it is al- most pure. This beats the record madein the Gibson a few years ago, when nugget weighing 300 pounds was removed and it was looked up- on as approaching the widest dream.

Building a Passenger Car.

Not many people know how much material enters into the com position of Q frst-class passenger car. To build a passenger car of the best kind requires about 24OO feet of poplar. 340O feet of ash, 1000 feet of white pine and 23OO feet of yellow pine, 800 feet of the best oak, 400 feet of the strongest hickory, 400 feet of cherry, 400 feet of maple veneer, and perhaps small amountsof other woods. There are four pairs of wheels. and axIes, two pairs of passenger car trucks, about 5000 pounds of iron, 700 pounds of castings, 300 pounds of galvanized iron and 25O sheets of tin. Then add screws, chandeliers, air brakes, sash bal ances, sixty or seventy glass panes for the windows and doors, stoves, seat fixtures, lamps, door locks, knobs and hinges, basket racks, window lifts, window fasteners and seat springs, and you have most of the hardware. Then there are about 200 yards of plush, 100 yards of sheeting and 200 pounds of hair-
 When all these things are taken into the account no wonder can be felt that a passenger coach costs over $4000. The materials do not cost this much, but before the car. is put on the road about $1200 will be expended in labor

A Girls Essay en Boys.

Boys are men that have not got as big as their papas, and girls are women that will be young ladies by and by. Man was made before woman. When God looked at Adam he said to himself: "Well I think can do better if I try again." And then he made Eve. God liked Eve so much better than Adam that there have been more women than men. Boys are a trouble. they wear out everything but soap. If have my way half the boys in the world would be girls and the rest dolls. My papa is 50 nice that I think he must have been little girl when he was little boy. Man was made and on the seventh day he rested. Woman was then made and he has never rested since Exchange.

THE CHA VALLEY.

''There is probably no compact body of agricult- uraI land in the whole world that will equal in area and fertility the valley of Gila, commencing at Florence and ending at Yuma, including the Salt river valley It is more than 200 miles in length, with an average width of perhaps 20 miles and there is sufficient water to irrigate every foot of it. The capabilities of production Of this vast tract of land is something almost incredible to those who have not witnessed the prolific growth Of veg gstation in Southern Arizona. Everything the temperate zone produces will flourish here, and many tropical and semi-tropical fruits and plants grow exceedingly we'll. There is hardly variety from the deciduous fruits of the most northern States to the delicate citrus productions of the southern countries, that cannot be successfully grown in this valley and the tropical banana and the date are readily cultivated with little care. This wide range of production, in addition to the oug season in which from two to four crops mat ure during single year, presents wonderful ar ray of advantages that are apparent to the most casual observer. In addition to this, there is an exclusive supply of the earliest and most profitable market enjoyed by It's fruit raisers, involving rare benefits that no other section enjoys, The climate is all that mankind can wish for the pure, dry at rnosphere being especially beneficial to invalids and luxurious to the robust. There are absolutely none of the evils that afct dwelers in other local ities and all the conditions Of health and prosper ity are concentrated i'll this marvellous region The time is close at hand when this valley will support a dense population of happy and prosperous people and it will acquire fame throughout the world as the nearest approach to ali earthly paradise. - Florence Enterprise.

From there the disease travelled, in 1917, to Persia, Egypt and China, overland and along the river cOurces. It reached Europe by the Red Sea in 1880. The second epidemic, in 1846, com menced near Salial on the Gulf of Persia, and extended over Bacin, Derbet, Koura and Tifis; crossed the Volga River, and invaded Russia, Germany, Italy, France and Spain. The third epidemic, in 1865, made it's appearance in Alex andria, extended along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, and finally reached America.
