OUR esteemed contemporary, the Times, has lately contained several very excellent articles on the desira- bility of the establishment of smelting plant in Yuma. This point Is also a very suitable one for the construction of sampling works. One of the great est needs of the prospecter and mine owner, is to be in easy and speedy reach of works where few tons of ore can be given thorough working test at minimum expense.
 An assay test, especially of gold rock, is rarely reliable except as to the particular pieces of rock or quan- tity of pulp presented to the assayer, and even then there is no determina- tion of the percentage of waste that would occur in the working process. The only reliable demonstration of the value of ore, can be had by the work inp of few tons which have been carefully averaged ct the mine. Sltua- ted, as Yuma is, on a navigable stream and transcontinental railway, 1t pre- sents rare facilities for tapping vast area of mineral country located in all directions. From the Virgin river, 500 mlles above Yuma. all along the Colorado river in Utah, Nevada, Cali fornia and Arizona, mines are being opened, the owners of which would surely take advantage of the location II here of sampling works The river steamers are easy of access, and the cost of transportation exceedingly reasonable. The Southern Pacific rail road would tap tine mining districts of the interior, and freightage would be much less than now paid for transpor- tatien to San Francisco UT Colorado. There is enough lead aud other neces- sary fuxing material. ln the imme- mediate vicinity of Yuma, to last for years in the~smelting of base or,' samples.
 Lead and silver mines, now idle, would take on a new lease of life giving employment to hundreds of miners, and Yuma would fll the conse-

beauty, and fragrance, and to realize that rare hot-house specimens of the eastern states, grow luxuriantly here out of doors, even in the winter months.
 In addition to the gardens of the town, the Yuma Water and Light Company irrigate a largs tract of country immediately adjoining the city limits, and has set out a large orchard in various fruit trees, and many acres in alfalfa and other products. That company has tract of some 5000 acres, which is to be subdivided into residence and farm properties. It is very available property. the ground be- ing easy to clear, and consisting of level table lands. This enterprise supplies our market with strawberries, vegetables, and other products, all the year round.
 Below town Rollins Sons, by means of the Colorado Irrigation canal, water thousands of acres of land be- tween Yuma and the boundary line of Sonora, Mexico. But few years ago and all that country was a barren desert waste, devoted to wandering herds of cattle and the predatory coyote and other wild animals. To- day the eye is greeted by long suc- cession of thriving farms and orchards. Fields of alfalfa, corn, wheat, barley, and other cereals are everywhere, and there IS large acreage in fruits of every variety. Rollins Sons have about 600 acres of orchards and some l60 acres Tn grapes. They raise an immense number of melons and every variety of vegetable, for this and the markets of California and Colorado. Six and seven crops of alfalfa are cut each year.
 The Colorado River Irrigation canal, projected by Col. Beatty, is now in process of construction. This IS an immense enterprise. The canal has it's head about twelve miles above Yuma, and is supplied from the Colo. rado river. When completed it will irrigate hundreds of thousands of acres of as fRe land as ever lay out of doors, all of which will be tributary to Yuma and San Diego,
 The next article will be devoted to agricultural enterprises and properties throughout the county, and then will follow an exposition of our mineral resources.

OUR fellow citizen John Shans- sey makes Fourth of July sug- gestion that meets the cordial ap probation of the SENTINEL. He urges that a grand barbecue be given at the old quartermaster building, on that greatest of all na- tional holidays, free to all of course. A proper celebration of that day should be observed in all commu- mites of this republic, and none more fitting could be conceived than an old fashioned barbecue, where all could meet in unconven- tional sociability. A public meet ing of citizens should be called at an early date, and the requisite committees selected to make and carry out all arrangements.

THE Moberly, Mo-, Monitor has a notice of the fact that a colony is being formed in that section of the country for the purpose of settling in the Gila Valley, this county. We sincerely hope so, as there is no greater need, in the progress of the county, than the immigration of an industrious, progressive peo- pie. The projected colony, we are informed, will have ample means to start with, and the rest cannot help but follow.
 The Commissioner of Immigra- tion for the county, J. W. Dorring- ton, in the next issue of the SEN TINEL, proposes to devote an ar ticle to the lands and agricultural enterprises of the Gila and Colo rado valleys, which will contain full information for the colonists.

THE Board of Supervisors has divided the county into five road districts, and the following road overseers have been appointed Micheal Welz, district number two; Samuel Butler, district number three; George w. Norton, district number four; and Isaac Hester, district number five.
 The sum of one hundred and twenty dollars has been apportIoned to each district from the general road fund. District Attorney Purdy has sent out forms of bonds, and full instructions to each overseer. Overseer for district number one is not yet appointed.

quent increased demand for supplies.
 Such an enterprise would pay from the start, and it is to be hoped that capital will be induced to take hold os the project. Parties are already looking into the matter, and it is pos- sible that the work of construction will commence by the first of Septem- Der next. An agent is now in the field with view of determining how large an area would naturally be or could be made to be tributary to this point.

WE,follow the lead of the Times in protesting against having the primary class of our public school located where it is, in the convent building. It is too far for the lit tie ones to go, and many of the parents hesitate at sending their children so far alone.
 It would be much better to have the pupils of the higher class, who are able to take care of themselves, taught at the convent, and devote one of the rooms of the school building to the primary class. The principal of the school should be male teacher, as masculine force is needed in the enforcement and preservation of discipline, There would be no necessity then for sending for the fatherof an un- ruly child when it became neces- sary to punish him. Our teachers receive salaries out of all propor- ton to those paid elsewhere, and they should be reduced except in the instance of Miss Ely, the primary teacher. She has by far the largest class, and the most difficult to manage. Very young children need most exemplary patience and unusual care. In California and other states the teachers of the primary classes re- ceive higher salaries than those paid teachers of intermediate classes. The Times is right 1T advocating the employment ot more teachers when necessary, and if salaries were placed on a reason
 able basis it could be done withou material additional expense.
 It is nonsense to pay in >Yum' in excess of what is allowed II other states and territories and ever elsewhere in this territory, ant when it comes to paying teacher during vacation, as has been don
 here, it verges upon the outrageous
