ods and success. In a letter from his ranche, eighteen miles above Tucson, of date December 6, 1892, which he wrote to my brother, he says: "I raise two crops on all the land l plant, viz: from November to May, hay twheat or barley), average abont 2t tons per acre-haye never sold any at less than S20 per ton; the ground lies idle until the first of July, and then l plant beans, harvesting in October, from 1900 to 2000 tts per acre-never have sold bean less than $80 per ton, and many at five to six cents pound; plant again in November to hay, and then in June to corn, getting as much as eighty bushels per acre-neyer sold corn for less than two cents per pound. All produce is worth about double here what it is at Phoenix, as freight is over $500 per ton, and Tucson does not produce one-fourth of what she consumes. Hay is worth at harvest here $500 to 5000 per ton, and six months later s20 to S25. Mexicans sell as soon as they can, and as soon as that is consumed those who hold get double or more. 1 sold all my hay in a block last year at s20 per ton. l can depend upon clearing 5000 per acre from the land 1 cultivate, and can make more in proportion out of small piece, for the minute you extend beyond what you can personally over see, your profits begin to decrease, as Mexican labor cannot be depended on."
 ADVICE FOR LARGE OWNERS.
 If you purchase large piece of land do not attempt to init through an agent in the towns, but if you in- sist on making it pay from the start by raising annual crops, put respon- sible married man on it and furnish him with say two Mexicans, and let him handle what he can conveniently and well, and work with the men him. self. Keep this force the year round, and when they are not busy with crops put them to planting trees and vines to improve the balance of the land. Grain land will never go high; orchards always into the hundreds, and perhaps into the thousands per acre: in three years your vines will bring you double the profit of your grain lands, besides increasing their value three or four hundred per cent
 In conclusion it must be borne in mind that Mir. Hartt is a man of great energy and great resource in emer- gency, and thinks and acts prude1tly and has abundant capital. He sold his place above Tucson for Sl0O,OOO in cash, still retaining one-sixth inter- est, and is now engaged with General J. B. Weaver (the populist candidate for president) in carrying out the same plan of pumping for irrigation in the upper valley, about thirty-tiye miles above Arizola. In view of his results, pays, and doubtless Arizola will yet see it carried to great areas within her territory and tributary to her merchants.

Fourth Paper
TO the Editor of TnE OASIS;

To the Editor of TIE OASIS:
 DEAR SR;-ln previous communi- cations l have shown at some length that in the vicinity of Arizola are vast nreas of free government land, to be had under the homestead or desert land laws TIE OASIS of September 2s, 1883: that much of this land is un- der existing or prospective canal sys- tens; that much more of it is pro- yided with ample subterranean water supply from the sinking at the upper end of the Casa Grande Valley Of the waters from the water shed of the Santa Cruz and Pantano distri Is, in- to the porous soil, and its consequent preservation, forming a vast subter- ranean reservoir in the lower valley about Arizola; and that these subter- ranean waters are available by their relative nearness to the surface. Facts were given showing the power to be derived from windmills, due to large wind movements: windmills to be supplemented by horsepowers or reliable yapor engines for small areas, in connection with triple plunger pumps of steady flow THE OASIS of October 26 93 and November 30 '93l economy and efficiency were shown to be practicable to men of small means wishing to pump their own water fol small tracts, using only wind engines, horsepowers or yapor engines.
 PUMPING BY STEAM.
 For large areas these appliances, by duplication of devices used on small tracts. would be equally practicable, but it is we'll to see other ways of sup plying water, and l propose to show what has been and may be done with steam and shall quote facts from the experience of pioneer bumper in that line. Some four years ago Mir. Wm. A. Hartt of Tucson, with the courage of his convictions, started in to prove that water could be pumped from depths of from fifty to sixty feet, to protitably irrigate land in the upper Santa Cruz valley, about eighteen miles above Tucson. The flow even there is subterranean except in the rainy season, the ground is thickly covered with mesquite of some size, and the rainfall there is about twelve inches but not seasonable, and must be largely supplemented by irrigation. The history of his experiments with different kinds of pumps -Pulsometer Nye-Greely and other styles-would be very interesting but inappropriate here in detail. The result of years of patient and expensive tests proved to his satisfaction that economy and eff ciency in steam pumping for large areas was to be found in the highest degree by using duplex compound pumps with condensers. The steam works expansively. first in the high pressure cylinders and then by exhaust into the opposite low pressure cylin- ders, high and low pressure cylinders being tandem on the cylinder, con- densers returning hot water Go the boiler and saving valuable fuel
 MR. HARTT SAYS

or three and One-quarter sections of land. My actual running expenses are S3.50 per day while the pump is in use. viz: one cord of mesquite, &; fire man, Sl: oil, soc. am not farming my whole place, but so far as have my expense for putting the water in the ditch for the three years has aver aged about sl.50 per acre per year. This means water for two crops, and crops requiring much water and food ing, such as barley. wheat, peanuts, etc.: not trees and vines.
 "My plant is in operation not more than three months in the year.
 PUMPING AS AN INSURANCE.
 Most people have mistaken idea in regard to irrigation by pumping. The popular opinion is that the pump does all the work, when the fact is the rain does most of the work. \. E. This does not apply to Arlzola, with four inches only of rainfall anuu- ally.-R. E. E. and the pump is more of an insurance wherein if danger threatens you pay the premium by pumping, and are sure of your crop. When my crops want water they get it within two hours, which is great advantage over waiting on ditch company or taking half allowance. If l had water rights under ditch today l would not be without pump as an insurance, provided had a supply of water to pump from. The additional crop obtained soon pays for the plant"
 EFFICIENCY OF FUEL.
 To the district about Arizola fuel is an important item in pumping by steam. since it is scarce and conse- quently expensive, and the immedi- ate supply would be soon exhausted. With the discovery of coal in Sonora, Mexico and Southern Arizona, and with the completion of the Prescott & Phoenix railroad, bringing the coal of Northern Arizona within easy reach, the fuel problem would be sim plitied. In letter of Mir. Hartt's to the citizens of Wilcox, Arizona, as to the cost of producing water, &c., he says: "ln actual every day service, as on my ranch, a cord of well seasoned wood lmeSquitel weigh ing about 45O0 pounds, will operate my plant for ten hours, producing ,, ,00O gallons of water per minute ll2O,- GOO gallons per hour at an elevation from below of sixty l60l feet, or ,2OO,- 900 gallons per day, enough to cover fifteen 15) acres three(3) inches deep. If, as some authorities claim, an acre foot tor the amount of water necessary to cover an acre one foot deep properly applied without loss, land land properly cultivated will irrigate an acre one year, then a cord of mesquite wood tor it's equivalent, a ton of soft coal will pump enough wa ter to irrigate 3s acres for a year. A great deal depends upon the kind of soil. annual rainfall, the crop and the care in using whether such a volume of water will do more or less service. A California miners inch amounts to a continuous flow of about nine gal Ions per minute, and by the above fig ures it will be seen that a cord of mes quite tor ton of coal will maintain a continuous flow of one miners inch for over ninety-two days of twenty four hours, besides raising it sixty feet high.
 "A water right in California fruit districts usually consists of one-tenth tI-lol of miners inch per acre; so a cbfd q woud will irrigate ten acres
