The people of San Mateo have been en-
loving a new sensation lately. Every one
with a horse has travelled the four miles
that separate the city from the site of the
great Spring Valley dam to gaze upon the
immense flood that issues from the lake
and falls over the crest in a sheet 80 feet
wide into an abyss $50 feet deep. Such
another sightcan be witnessed in this State
only in the Yosemite Valley and, there
fore, the people at San Mateo are con-
graduating themselves on having at their

tire grandeur of the sight can be appre-
ciated. The volume of water is about
three feet deep on the verge: This mass
slides down the steep face of the dam with
a noise like the swish of the tide, but falls
into the pool at the bottom with sound
like the roar of distant thunder. Thousands
will doubtless view this new wonder of San
Mateo to-day.

The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in subjectioR the rise of water in canal, due to ever abund- ant flow, or to sudden rises in the canal owing to severe rains or storms.
 It is particularly valuable to have such a Water Gate placed in lower bank of canal at such points along it's line Where there RaEines. Gullies, ArroyOs, Foot Hills, ButteS, or Tableland, as any rains or storms bring down at such points surplus of water that is very dangerous to the banks of canal. The Waste Gate, however, will prevent such damage, as it is

Not only is it valuable to relieve canal of it's surplus water, to prevent damage and pense, but by it's use the first cost of canal con- struction will be materially lessened, the banks need not be made so high or wide.
 The device is extremely simple, and eOmpara- lively inexpensive. Its plan of operation is this

When body of water reeedes bele" certain level, no more water is admitted tS the tank; therefore empties itself by a small faucet opening, 6, at the bottom; this being done, the weight overbalances tank, and brings down the lever, which, being rigid to the swinging gates closes it.

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social and industrial de- velOpment. There can't be doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she has waited so long is breaking at last. There is every promise of day of great pros perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of a new and ener- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people, while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small inn pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her full share of atten- tiOn and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There is a scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lenders than this.
 Arizona has reached that climacticer period which every western state has eX- perienced sometime in its history when, after long and weary struggle and doubt, with each side of the balance first up and then down. the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and sunburst of energizing hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com pletion of two transcontinental lines of railroad across her territory-Arizona has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulating a fund of substantial wealth and a force of moral character which qualify her now to rise up and take her destiny in her own hands.
 The population of Arizona is Mexican. This is mistake of great importance from the moral point of view. There is but one considerable center of Mexican population in the territory, the city of Tucson, and even there it is not by any means at pres ent the predOminating element. It think it is certain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large a Mexican population as Colorado and not above One-tenth as much as New Mexico. -"Fitz- Mac," in Denver News.
