ANCIENT IRRIGATION.

It is a we'll known fact, and one worth repeating here, that nearly two-thirds of the human race follow only this system of cultivating the soil. It is the oldest known to man. In Persia, Assyria and Babylon It was in use before any authentic records of history were made. In Algeria, within a short time, more than nine million acres were reclaimed. In North Africa, China, Central Asia, Arabia and Syria, irrigation has been known and carried out in detail, under the storage reservoir system, since before the founding of Carthage or the reign of love and desertion of Queen Dido. In Italy, Spain and South ern France 1t has been in vogue successfully since time immemorial even in those and other regions, where the differences between the supply of water by rain and snow fall and the demands for irrigation were greater than they are in the valley of the Gila, or any other portion of Arizona.
 These facts force the silurian and antedeluvian mossback theories in regard to the lack of water for the continuous and bountiful irrigation of Gila's great watershed, back into the shades of oblivion, and estab- fish the one grand fact, that all that is necessary for an abundant supply of water throughout the entire area of the Territory is the furnishing of a sufficient number of reservoirs of the necessary ca pacity, to store the winters water, that we may have it for future use. As it is we have too many canals, too few reservoirs. Let this be re versed. Close up every narrow gorge, fill every basin, and husband the magnificent supply of waters which Arizona has in hand, but which now rush on to waste in the gulf below and are lost forever to the best interests of our coming future. Gather and hold our water supply and watch the results in the coming decade, and see our present so-called desert wastes con- verted into fruitful gardens, fields and valleys, settled again by hun dreds of thousands, if not by millions of happy people, and the valley of the Gila will become richer and more prosperous than the Nile and the pride of the New Southwest, and the wisdom and foresight of the ancient farmers who built these old canals and the old padres who followed them, will be verified in the outcome of follow ing this system of irrigation, than which there is none better.

Scr1pLlVe or the FlCach0 mining district in this column caused some adverse comment by few readers of the SENTINEL, based upon the fact that this rich district is in California.
 It Is true that the Colorado river separates it from Arizona, but it is part and parcel of the great min eral belt that is tributary to Yuma and has from the date of the placer diggins so rich in early times drawn its supplies from Yuma. What benefits Yuma, benefits Yuma county and the Territory. The The Picacho country has been and is now one of the richest sections of this mineral zone and pours I una a good many dollars in a year.
 From the active development now going on there it promises in the near future to be a great factor in Yuma prosperity and is certain ly entitled to occupy lengthy space in this column, so closely is it identified with Arizona.
 One of the greatest properties in that district is the mine known as the Dewitt Jayne mine. This property was originally developed by Hon Samuel Purdy, who work ed it extensively but failed to make it great dividend payer on ac- count of the enormous expense at tached to mining in those days.
 It passed into the hands of Davld Neahr who erected a 15 stamp mill upon 1t and did con- siderable work but the conditions were still unfavorable to working at a profit. pr. Jayne then ac- quired it and has since owned it..
 This mine is one of the most de- veloped and among the greatest properties in this section of country, and now that supplies and cost of working have so ma terially cheapened, it takes it's place amongst the foremost pro- ducers.
 Dr, Jayne has refused $150,GOO for it, although it has not been actively worked for some time and is now idle. The ore body in it measures up an immense quantity.
 Sone fine rock was taken out of the Ponce de Leon mine last week. This mine is believed to be the one that fed the Provedencia Canyon with it's great yield of coarse gold, as none was ever found above the Ponce de Leon vein.
 The new discoveries in this inn mediate section make it one of the most promising on the Colorado. Most of the mines in this as we'll as in the White Gold Group are within one mile of the Colorado River, and none more than two miles away and all are reached by canyons of easy grade leading down to the river.
 In the Picacho basin, four miles west, the placer mines are turning out about $500 weekly. A few of the placer miners have gone to Mesquit. Very rich ore has lately been found in the old Colorado and South Goshen mines near the sur face.
 The properties bonded by Ket- chum and others last spring have been systematically worked and have opened up into much more valuable properties than was hop ed for. The mineral lodges con tained in them wherever worked have grown richer as depth was attained and are now about ready for the erection of a mill and a large force of men.
 Mr Ketchum, who is at present in Denver expects to return in a few days prepared to erect large mill and begin work on a scale Justified by the immense size of the veins.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by con- stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eusta- chian Tube. When this tube gets infamed you have a rumbIing sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the infam- nation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal con- dition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is noth- ing but an infamed condition. of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dol lars for any case of Deafness (caus- ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
