HE Old Colorado River Bed

Some sixty miles east of this city
ana two miles south of the Moha W /
section house on the S. P. railroad
can be seen a large force of men a,
work.
This is the mining camp of Prof.
Rowland Of San Francisco 1t will
be remembered that last summer
the Professor located in that section
several miles of placer country and
did considerable work on one of his
many claims. Hot weather came
on and work WAS stopped until cool
weather set in. Prof. Rowland
went to San Francisco, and 1T is
said that during his stay there he
organized stock company to pros
pect for the ancient Colorado river
bed. At any rate the Professor
went through here few weeks ago
and there followed him shortly
several carloads of machinery and
lumber
The Professor claims that in the
prehistoric age the Colorado river
run where he is now at work. He
says that with the assistance of his
divining-rod he has traced the
Colorado river bed of ancient ii mes
from it's fountain head in Utah to
the Gulf of California.
Near the ranch of Geo. w. Nor
ton in the Mohawk valley is where
it crosses the Gila river and from
that point the old channel takes
southerly course until it reaches
the gulf.
At the place where the Profes-
sor has his men at work he feels
positive lie untold wealth. He has
large number of men at work
night and day sinking two double
compartment shafts. They are
working in shifts of eight hours.
Get good wages and their money
when earned.
It is the prophesy of the Pro-
fessor that when the bedrock of
the ancient Colorado river is reach
ed gold will be taken out in bucket
fulls and shipped by trainloads.
Let us hope that the prophesy may
come true.-Yuna Sentinel.

"The most savage and horrible
of all the barbarous customs OF the
Ashantes in Africa" says Prof. w.
G.. Steadman, of Washington, ''is
that of celebrating the death OF 8
king or great noble by a sacrifice
of other lives; indeed, almost all OF
their anniversary rites are attended
by a holocaust Of human beings.
They believe that when a king OF
a noble dies he must have wives
and slaves in the next world, just
as he does in this, and in order
that these may not be wanting, the
simple expedient is resorted to Of
killing his wives and slaves and
sending them after him. Rude
and bloody ceremonies mark the
practice of this custom, which are
continued for about week. 1t is
strange to say, numerous volun-
teers are always found who are
not only ready, but anxious, to be
be offered up in honor OF a dead

The man who has never been in
close proximity to one hundred
ton gun when it is fred can have
little conception of the noise and
vibration, said retired naval Off
Ger to Cincinnati Enquirer re-
porter. Partly by courtesy and
partly by chance I was on the
Thunderer at the siege of Alexan-
dria some twelve or thirteen years
ago. Two sets of advice were Civ
Ell me as to how to act when the
big guns were fired. Old expert
enced seamen can stand the shock
by raising on their toes the moment
the word is given to fire. The ma
jority of people. however, find it
necessary, in order to preserve
their ear drums from perforation,
to lie down, resting most OF their
weight on their hands and toes.
Even with this precaution the sea-
sation is most unpleasant until one
gets used to it. Even with the
comparatively small guns in gener-
al use in our navy, the concussion
on board ship when a shot is
fired is very annoying, but 1.-THE
enormous guns used so generally in
European navies are a source of
terrible danger 70 the crew as wei!
as the enemy, and I doubt if they
could possibly be used in a hand
to.-hand encounter, useful as they
are for destroying distant ports

A party consisting of 500 families
of the Pullman unemployed will
arrive ia Alabama during this
week and establish single-tax
colony after the ideas of Henry
George, near Blakely; in Baldwin
County. They have secured 1000
acres of fine land at $5 per acre,
located on the very spot where the
last battle of the civil war was
fought. The land lies for two and
half miles along the beautiful
Tensas River, with boat water 46
feet up to the shore. Mobile, the
largest city in Alabama. is just
twelve miles across the bay from
Blakely, and will be the market for
what surplus products the colony
produces. For three months the
colonists expect to. experience
hardships, as there will be little
income for them, After that time
however, the land will yield abun-
dainty of fruits and vegetables to
provide comfortably for them
Saw-mill and brick making ma
chinery has been bought on time
and it is believed that the co-opera
tive colony will prove a success. A
Lutheran minister named Var
Klooch. formerly of Ohio, but now
Of Albany, is the instigator Of th'
enterprise. The colony will b.
located ten miles from the Gulf o
Mexico.

Canaigre is attracting widespread
attention throughout the world
The president of the University OF
Arizona has been asked to send
roots for trial to Cape of Good
Hope, the Sandwich Islands, Aus
tralia, Canada, Argentine Republic
and to many states and territories
from Oregon to Florida. If the
crop can be economically cultivat-
ed, it will be the basis of an enor-
nous industry, and Arizona being
one of it's native haunts, the bene-
fit to this territory will be incalcu-
liable. It seems, therefore, remark
able that these new experiments
are really the first to be made un-
der conditions enabling reliable
conclusions to be drawn. No one
actually knows the cost OF growing
the root, because all experiments
hitherto made have been only quail
itatiye.-Florence Tribune.

An Australian mining journal
is responsible for the following
story: A miner IN that country
who was obtaining fine gold by
sluicing, was asked how he saved
it. He replied that he employed
the common amalgamation process,
but used novel and ingenious
retort for the purpose. "After
amalgamating with quicksilver,
get potato" said the miner, "eut
off one end and scoop out cavity
in it large enough to take my ball
of amalgam I next take spade
or piece of fiat iron and place that
over the fire; and upon that I put
the potato with the cut side down.
AS the amalgam gets hot the fsil-
YER evaporates and goes, all thro'
the potato; but it can't get thro'
the skin. When it is cool [ have
my gold button on the spade and
my silver all in fine globules in
the potato. l break that potato up
under water and I have all nay

The time is near at hand in Ari-
zena when irrigation from running
streams will have reached it's limit.
1t then will be necessary to rely
upon storage reservoirs for exten
sions Of the irrigating area. It
has been shown in several cases
that this method is entirely prac-
tieable, and that the irrigable area
can be almost if not quite donbled
by impounding water which other
wise wenld run to waste. An il
lustration of this is seen in the
Pecos valley, New Mexic where
large reservoirs have been con-
structed capable of supplying many
thousands of acres with water.
During some parts of the year a
great deal of water falls in sudden
storms, and runs to waste, and a
still larger volume is lost in there
being no storage to save the snow
water from mountain sides. All
of this water could be impounded
in reservoirs, and fully one-foarth
of this vast area could be reclaim
ed in this way.-Mail.

Eagle Mountain.

1n che west central part of Ari-
zena lies vast, nncanny region
little known to the people of today,
though formerly crossed by the
transceatinental road that ran
from Ehrenburg on the Colorado
eastward by Santa Fe. A hundred
miles east of the Colorado, few
miles soath of the road and SEEM
ingly an extension of the Harqua
Hala range, there were visible
several low "desert buttes" bearing
the name of Eagle mountains.
The newcomer has little reason
to inquiie the reason for the name.
1t needs no imagina tive eye to see
that the largest of the detached
hills has been by nature fashioned
into striking Resemblance to an
eagle, crouchiag with out-spread
wings. Though the mountain is
half mile in length and over 800
feet high, every detail Is startlingly
true to life. The material for the
giant statue is compact gray
volcanic ASH blackened by the sun,
overgrown with the stunted vege-
tation of the region. In it are
caves of every dimension tenanted
only BY the wild bees.
While the gullies down the sides
have fashioned with fidelity the
wings aaa even the feathers of this
strange bird, it is at the head that
the likeness is best apparent. Two
hollow eyes, great caverns, seem to
glare 'huagrily down upon the
plain below. The great beak rests
upon the westernmost crag, span
ming great chasm with its arch.
From every point of view the like
ness is striking. and the traveller
on the waterless trails around finds
in the butte fascination that
holds the eye.-Gazette.

"WHEN | AN MAKING A TARIFF BILL
FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY / DON'T THINK
HAVE ANY RIGHT TO LOOK AT MY DIS
TRICr."-W L. Wilson. This is the manly
utterance of lofty patriot and broad mind
ed statesman, the guiding star of whose
public life has been the honor and glory of
his country, and the progress and prosperi-
ty of bis countrymen. He is o-day as
thoroughly intrenched in the affections Of
the popular heart as any living American,
and it requires not the prescience of proph-
e.y to falhom the brilliant future that
awaits him. He has builded his monument
in the hearts of the masses of the people
everywhere-in the hearts of the poor who
struggle in the sun and toll in the tempest
for their daily bread, and in after years
when the memorable events of t.. day are
rehearsed by succeeding generations this
dauutless and devoted child of the people
will be enrolled in the Walla Halla of the
worlds worthless. The poor will uncover at
his tomb, and inscribe upon its portals as
the Briton did upon the slab of Peel. CHE

WILLIAM. WILSON.
Patriot, statesman and Leader.

From the Baltimore Sun.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-To a very large
extent the breach in the Democratic party
of the House of Representatives has appar-
emily been closed. The bitterness with
which opponents of the income tax regard
ed the decision of the majority in favor of
attaching the proposition TO the tariff bill
has been succeeded by a spirit of resigna-
ton and loyalty to the party policy. Dis
cipline has triumphed over personal desires
aud order has been brought out of chaos.
The bridging of the chasm that threaten
ed to divide the party was not effected with
out effort on the part of the leaders. And
as he has done throughout the whole fight
against monopoles in this struggle for peace
within the party, Chairman Wilson, of the
ways and means committee, has borne
conspicuous part. Opposed to tax on per-
sonal incomes, as he is known to have been
ever since the subject was first preached in
the ways and means committee, Mr. Will
son was the first to reIinqush his own views
on this non partisan question for the sake
of the more important measure which was
ieopardized bv the dispute the income tax
proposition aroused. As he sacrificed his
personal interests to secure the best results
for bis party and the country in the formu-
lation of the tariff bill, he inaugurated
among the opponents OF the income tax an
unsefsh loyalty to principle, even though
it cost the sacrifice of personal convictions
regarding the internal revenue bill. His
efforts to harmonize the conflicting elements
were aided by the force of the example he
has set and deserved the success which seems
| to have attended them.
Mr.. Wilson was not alone in this strug-
GLE Speaker Crisp, whose influence among
| the Democratic members is potent, support
ed him, and, following the lead OF these two,
Representative Cochran, of New York, and
others, one after another, came to the sup
port of the tariff bill The formidable OPP
position which had threatened the tariff
measure because of the tax was broken, and
the success of the bill is once more conf
IDENTIFY believed to be assured.

who was younger than Mrs Holstein, was

with the exception of Mrs. Eunice Conrad
