Waterways OF Arizona.

The largest and likewise the best
preserved Of the waterways was taken
out of the Salt River on the south
side, near the mouth of the Verde,
and, as described by the Californian,
is marvel of engineering skill. For
three and ore-half miles it passes
through an artificial gorge in the
Superstition Mountains, cut out Of
the solid rock to a depth Of 100 feet.
After the mountains are passed it
divides into four branches, the long
est Of which measures more than
forty miles, while all four aggregate
q length Of l20 miles, independent OF
the smaller bitches by which water
was distributed over the soil. EX-
cept in rare instances these smaller
bitches have been filled, and in that
portion of the desert are obscured by
the sandstorms that prevail; but the
larger one is perfectly distinct. ard
measures sixty-four feet in width
with an average depth Of twelve feet.
Through this way the water for the
support OF the cities between the Salt
and ella Rivers was conveyed and
1000 square miles OF country, DOW
destitute of all vegetation except in
Sahuara and an occasional palo verde,
was irrigated by it. This canal
reached within short distance
Of the Gila River, and the water was
taken from the river Salt for the ap-
parent reason that at this point the
north bank of the Gila was so high
that they were unable to reach the
current with a canal, and they evil
IDENTIFY knew of no way to raise to the
level of the surrounding country.
This part Of the desert IS covered
with ruins, and must have been at
one time the residence of a teemiDe

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Since our adj
vices Of the 18th inst. there has been no
important change in the direction Of the
volume of Wall street operations. The
have been moderate in amount, and
speculation still remains largely re-
stricted toprofeSsional operators. Events
have supplied no conspicuous motive
for new ventures OF either the "bull"
or bear" side, and the two forces seem
to be about evenly balanced. With a
larger supply of stock on the market
sellers might possibly be able to make
some impression on prices, but with
the present limited holdings the "bears"
cannot sell any important lines of stock
without encountering difficulty in hor-
rowing shares to make their deliveries
and exposing themselves to being
squeezed. On Wednesday a better
feeling was developed by IL
lnois Central declaring its usual
rate of dividend in place
of making a reduction, as was generally
expected. There are also other consid-
eratiOns calculated to bring the better
class of dividendpaying stocks into de-
mand. 1t seems TO be generally con-
ceded that they have now seen their
worst experience, and that the fall in
prices has more than discounted the re-
cent adverse influences affecting them,
so that, at current prices, they should
be good purchase. During the latter
half OF the week this feeling was dis
tinctly apparent, and the transactions
in expectation of better prices for good
properties produced a more hopeful
tone than has been apparent for some
time. The treasury report on foreign
commerce for the calendar year 1894
furnished matter for some transient
pesSimistic comment. The record

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Gen Que
sada was asked by a reporter about
the rumored massacre of a body of
insurgents at the town of Barre, in
the province of Santiago de Cuba,
on August ~, by a detachment Of
Spanish troops. The report had it
that women as well as men were
massacred and no mercy shown to
any of the prisoners that fell in
the hands of the S~paniards.
81 have no reason to doubt the
report said Mr.. Quesada, ''for it
must be plain by this time to every
fairminded man as well as u own
people that u oppressors will
stop at nothing in order to gain
victory. We have had to submit
TO terrorism and barbarities in
time of peace, and we are prepared
for reprisals even more revolving
in time Of war. A cause that must
be bolstered up by such de-
parture from the methods
of honorable warfare, is sure in
the end to be a losing cause. Spain
resorted to barbarous methods in
the last prolonged fight we made
for our liberties, but now we have
more ample facilities of publishing
to the world an account of such at
rocities and thereby ~enlisting the
sympathies of all persons who are
in favor of the struggle we are car
rying on"
Gen. Quesada vas asked about
the action of the state department
in preventing United States Con-
sui Hyatt at Santiago de Cuba be-
coming a medium of communica-
ton between the insurgents and
their friends and their sympathi-
zers in this country, and he said
that he did not believe there was
anything in it. ~ do not mean to
say" he said, "that the present
United States administration has
not shown itself willing to go out
of it's way to do all it can against
us, in favor. of Spain. What L wish
to convey is that knowing the ex-
istence of this feeling our people
here and in Cuba would be fools to
chose any such medium as the
United States consul to forward
correspondence"
