NEW CANAL SYSTEM.
Active Work to Be Soon Resumed on
 the Orange Belt Canal.

The Orange Belt Land and Canal company's system of canals is located in Maricopa county, Arizona. The No. 2 head is located on the Salt river about four and one-half miles south west from Phoenix The survey from this head runs northwesterly, crossing the Agua Fria river about seventeen miles west of Phoenix near the Yuma road. Then it runs west on its old sur Fey near the Whate Tank mountains, and parallel with them for twenty-five miles crossing the Hassayampa river and extending from thence in south westerly direction about eighteen miles to the lower Gila valley, about seven and one-half miles northwest of the Wolfey dam. This survey calls for canal thirty-fve feet wide at the bottom. It will take water at its head by an underground Hume catching both the under flow and upper flow. This No. 2 canal or main extension has three important feeders. The No. branch or old St. John, the No. 3 branch tapping the under flow at the junction of New River and the Agua Fria, the Mo- branch tapping the uuutIuOW u l1t IIdSSdy ydhlpn1 ldfOl ], thus giving this system an abundant water supply which will irrigate about 375,000 acres of choice land.
 Much work was done several years ago, only the panic preventing a com pletion of the canal on the plans mapped out Lately the company and its main promoter, Benj. B. Lower, have secured corrected deeds to all To- cations and rights of way and a new company will at once take hold under purchase from the old.
 The intention of the new company is to build the entire system within this year including the main extension and all the four branches. This is a mileage of over seventy-fye~ miles,
 The ditches will all be lined with cement, all of the open laterals will be lined in the same way and laterals running any great distance, from the main ditches will be made of tiling or consist of iron pipes. The object will be to bring all of the land under this system of canals under high state of cultivation similar to the lands of Po- mona, Riverside, Ontario, and Red lands, Cal

colt last Wednesday the following res olutions were adopted:
 we recommend the organization in the city of Prescott of an association whose object shall be the promotion of the mining interests of this section of the territory, said organization to be an independent body, governed by it's own constitution and bylaws, and to be known as the Mining Exchange.
 we recommend that a membership fee of $5 be charged and that the money so collected be used for the pur- pose of securing suitable rooms with cabinets, etc., the better to display the different classes of minerals found in this section of the country.
 ''We recommend that each member pay certain amount as dues each month for the purpose of defraying the ordinary running expenses of the association.
 "We recommend that the rooms oi the association be free to all who choose to use them, whether they be members of the association or not" Tn chair appointed Dr. G. W. Wick CTS, E. B. Gage, B. w. Wells, R. N Fredericks and w. J. Mulvenon tC carry out the recommendation of the committee and ito solicit membership for mining exchange. Judge Wells suggested then and there as a good time and place to start the ball rolling and several names were put down as a starter for the exchange. An esti- mate was given that at present 1,00( tons of ore per month can be obtained for reduction works.

TEMPERATURE OF SEA DEPTHS
Theory Accounting for the Coldness of
 the Bottom of Oceans.

Theory Accounting for the Coldness of
 the Bottom of Oceans.
 The photographers tell us that the law which is constant for the landed portion of the earth's surface must be inverted for the oceans The further we descend into the earth's surface crust, says the St. Louis Republic, the higher is the temperature; on the other hand, the deeper we descend below the natural habitat of the white-cap waves, the lower becomes the temperature of the water. Very recent observation proves that an almost arctic coldness exists over the whole of the deep sea bed, there being no perceptible differ ence in the temperature of the deeper stratas of the Indian and the Arctic oceans. It is a well-known fact that sea water does not freeze as readily as fresh water, and. unlike the latter, it continues to grow heavier until it reaches the freezing point Thus the effect of the intense cold of the arctic regions is to cause a constant sinking down of the cold surface water, which causes a current of most intense cold to flow toward the equator; while to sup ply the place of what sinks down, an indraught, or northward flow takes place on the surface. The above is the gen orally accepted vertical circulation theory, which explains the cause of the low temperature which prevails at the bottom of the oceans the world over.

Deposits in Savings Banks.
much solictude has been expressed by
our opponents for the depositors in savings
banks. They constantly parade before these
depositors the advantages Of gold stand
ard. but these appeals will be in vain, be-
cause savings bank depositors know that
under a gold standard there is increasing
danger that they will lose their deposits,
because of the inability Of the banks to COL
lect their assets. and they still further know
that if the gold standard is to continue in
definitely they may be compelled to with
draw their deposits in order to pay living
expenses.
TT is only necessary to note the increas-
ing number of failures in order to know that
gold standard is ruihous to merchants and
manufacturers. These business men do not
make their profits from the people from
whom they borrowed money but from the
people to whom they sell their goods. If the
people cannot buy, retailers cannot sell, and
If retailers cannot sell, wholesale merchants
and manufacturers must go into bank
ruptcy.
Those who hold as a permanent invest
ment the stock of railroads and of other en-
terprises-I do not include those who specu-
late In stocks or use stock holdings as a
means of obtaining inside advantage in con-
tracts-are injured by gold standard. The
rising dollar destroys the earning power of
these enterprises without reducing their
liabilities, and. as dividends cannot be paid
until fixed charges have been satisfied, the
stockholders must bear the burden of hard
times
Salaries in business occupations depend
upon business conditions, and the gold
standard both lessons the amount and
threatens the permanency Of such salaries

WHERE WOMAN ESCAPES.
Female Criminals Are Leniently Dealt
with In Austria.

Female Criminals Are Leniently Dealt
with In Austria.
In Austria q woman Is never q Grim
inal. She may murder, steal, burn and
SANDER without fear of coming to the
gallows. She is not sent to an ordinary
prison for her sins, the worst that can
befall her being the taking up of her
abode for time in some convent.
The convent to which Vienna sends
her erring sisters is only few miles out
of town. The building was once a
castle and there is nothing about it to
Indicate that it is a prison. The court
yard stands open all day long and there
is never guard in sight. The door
keeper is a pretty little Iun whom a
good-sized criminal could pick up under
one arm. The superior is a tall, grace
full woman who moves with the dignity
of q gentlewoman, but who is business
to her finger tips.
During the day the so or more women
prisoners assemble in a large, cheerful
room where they engage in various oc-
equations. Some make match boxes or
buttons; others make fine lace, en-
broidery or wool work. a nun with a
strong, decided face is the present CEN
sor of manners and morals. She sits
in the room on a raised platform to
guard against the frequent outbursts Of
temper which disturb the serenity of
the day occasionally.
The women there at present, says a
writer, are so kindly and gentle in ap-
pearance and differ so completely from
ones preconceived notion of criminals
that it is hard to believe them to be
hardened characters. An insignificant
little woman with gentle, deprecatlng
smile is in the convent because she has
committed more murders than she has
fingers on her hands. There is no place
else to put her.
One of the prisoners is a delicate
blonde girl with heavenly blue eyes and
an enchanting smile. She set house
on fire with the hope of killing man
and his five children. This was acct
dentally referred to in her hearing one
day, and if there had been knife handy
there is no doubt she would have killed
the inspector who made the remark.
An expression of ferocity uncomfortable
to look upon came to her lovely face and
TRANSPORTED it into something horrible.
