Irriaatina Porous Soils.

T. S. Van Dyke. in the latest of his excellent series of articles on the "Art of Irrigation" contributed to the Irri- gation Age, has this to say of a class of soils now coming more and more under cultivation:
 On some kinds of soil you may be ap- palled at seeing the water disappear like magic at the first irrigation into the many holes made by gophers and other animals, and often large tract may cave in so that itseems hopeless task to irrigate it. But these troubles will soon cease with regular and sufii- cient irrigation. Even without any holes, as on some parts of the desert where no animals live, the soil seems at first so awfully thirsty that you think it ridiculous to try to wet it enough. But you will find tLis diff culty pass away after you have the subsoil wellflled with moisture and you will like your desert soil better than that of the wet country. As 6 rule you will find it not only quite as rich, but so free from hard pan or other impediment to good drainage that it is worth much more. I would far rather have the soil of the Salt River valley in Arizona, on which nothing of value can ever exist without irrigation, than the richest prairie of the West underlaid
 with clay or other impervious material.
 But you must net infer from this that soils with hard pan cannot be well irri- gated. They cannot be drenched while the wel-drained soil will stand drenching better. From stupid work many man has concluded that his soil was not susceptible of irrigation. In many sections all attempts have been abandoned for this reason.

Ihe Dancers of Prospeotina.

A new strike is always attended with an excitement that seems to fairly un- brldle the reason of men. The Arizona Republican, in it's report of the Eichel- berger strike was careful to warn pros pectors against the dangers of prospect ing in that region where water is al- most unknown. But even the perils of hunting for gold in a desert country bring no terrors to some men. For miles on either side of the now famous King of Arizona the hills at night are dotted here and there by the camp fires of the anxions prospectors, and new fires are made by new men every night -and still they come. Some of them are without water, and the more foru- nate ones orc called upon 10 extend the welcome hand. A mining camp is the most h9spitable place in the world, but there is limit a n miners generosity just the same as folks who lead prosy lives in the valleys. It is an actual fact that men come to the S. H. mountains without money enough to last them day. Those who are in camp there can't turn them away hungry They have to feed every one of them, and when there are ten or twelve every day it soon becomes expensive. Provisions have to be freighted many miles, and by the time they are in camp safely their value is doubled. A man has to have good roll of money to prospect in that country.

The county treasurer has received from Territorial Treasurer T. E. Parish a demand for the payment of the Nor nal school, University and Reform -ehcol tnxes for tho year 1soe, for which oer board of supervisors refused to make the leyies. Suit is threatened unless the several amounts are paid. Treasurer Parish can commence suit whenever he has mind to- as the tax payers of Gila county are of one opin- ion on this matter. Satisfied that the appropriations made for the three in stitutions named are illegal, they strongly object to paying any more money into their coffers. If the terri tory wants to test the constitutionality of the law let it go ahead with the suit. -TGlobe Silver Belt.

4 Great Copper Camp.
From the New York world.l

Without doubt Bisbee is to-day the best mining camp in Arizona, and prob ably one of the best in the West. It's miners are all contented and business men are doing well. The Copper Queen,
 which has made this camp what it is, is one of the greatest copper producers in
 the world, and employs about 1,500 men all told, paying them top wages. This mine's future is brighter than its past. The Copper King, adjoining this great mine, is progressing with its de- velopment, and promises to be as great producer as it's sister. With the numerous other promising properties tributary te Bisbee, it is a safe predic- ton that in the near future the poprla- tion of Bisbee will be more than trebled ; it is even safe to say that by the dawn ing of Q new century a population of Is, 600 will be drawing their daily snb- sistenee from this camp. Confidence in Arizona mining properties is rapidly becoming established on 6 irmer baais, and capital, which has been so long tied up, is now seeking investment in the silver West, and Arizona for the next two years will be the scene oi more extensive operations in mining than she has ever before experienced

CLOSED DOWN.
The Old Dominion Copper Comany Sas- bends Work Pending the Comple-
 ton of the Railroad to Globe.
From the Globe Silver Belt.

From the Globe Silver Belt.
 Superintendent s. A. Parnall, of the Old Dominion Copper Mining & Smelt- ing Company, received instructions by wire from the Boston office, on satur- day last, to shut down tue works, both mine and shelter, and the order was carried into effect Tuesday night. Work in the niue, with the exception of the shaft, ceased at the 5 o'clock shift and the furnace was blown out at Il o'clock. The shaft crew is re tained, together with the engineers and firemen at the mine and few other men who will be needed, perhaps 9 in all. About 200 men were thrown out of work by the shutdown.
 Although rumors had been rife for several weeks that the company con- templated closing down, the reports were given little credence here, and the order was not expected even by MT. Parnall, who is much disappointed at the turn affairs have taken. The increase of work in every department during the past few months, and the fact that the management had over come difficulties and had got the prop erty into excellent shape for the pro- duction of copper, seemed to preclude shutdown; and further, the large quantities of coke, coal and wood ac- cumulated encouraged the belief that the company looked forward to busy season.
 The reason for discontinuing opera tions has not been divulged, but we feel warranted in stating that it has | been done in order to coerce MT. Gar 1 land, president of the Gila Valley, Globe 6 Northern railroad (who also has the wagon freight contract) to ex- tend the railroad to Globe. This move or the part of the copper company wss predicted by the Boston Herald more than month ago, and we lately re ceived confirmation Of the rumor by letter from the east, We have nc doubt whatever but that this aiscloses the true situation.
 If so, we must conclude that the shutdown will be protracted-proba- bly for six months or even longer. un- less the copper company should alter
 
 their present determination.
 We make this statement unreserv. edly, believing it is best to give tho facts rather than to encourage fals, hopes in the many who are concerned to know the truth of the matter.
 When the Old Dominion Copper Com pany starts up again the railroad vii either have been completed to Globe O construction will have advanced so ia as to insure it's completion; and it vii be under altered conditions, with al improved plant and increased capacit, for producing copper. The compan, has one of the best copper mines in tn Territory, which has improved greatl under MT. Parnall's management, an with increased facilities for handlin and smelting the ore, the Old Dominic will become one of the largest pro ducers of copper in Arizona.

Nearly everything Nansen predicted about his journey has come true. He said he expected to cross the unknown polr area, and he has done it. He foretold exactly the general direction in which his ship would drift while fast i'll the ice, but it is not certain that he correctly assigned the cause of this drift. Nansen invented the model of the Tram, making her hull round and slippery like an eel, with no corners or sharp edges for the ice to seize upon. She is the strongest vessel ever used in Arctic exploration, asserts afcClure's Magazine. He said that press ure would simply lift her on the ice, and so her bottom, near the keel, was made almost flat, in order that she might not capsize while on the ice surface, and her screw and rudder were also ingeni- ously protected. The many experts who said her design would not save the Tram from instant. destruction were mistaken, for she met these resistless ice pressures and they merely lifted her out of her cradle and she rested safely on the surfaee. Nansen said that, ow- ing to the probable predominance of Yvctc- ir the far north. R,c expected te find there higher temperatures than along the north coast Of Asia. This re- markabie prediction has been fulfilled. The lowest temperature observed on tue Fran was 6t55 degrees Fahrenheit. while further south il the Eara sea, d5 degrees. and at'the mouth of the Lena river, 98 degrees. have been registered.

A reporter of the Republican who happened to, be loafng about the county jail yesterday afternoon foand the following inscription upon the whitewashed wall of the women's quarters. It is a scrap of Arizona judicial history: April 10-I spent one night in this cell by the treachery of Owen T. Rouse, justice of Ariz- zona, who agreed with my counsel to set my case in Flagstaff for certain day and have us notified. Instead, he had me called, knowing I was not there. My bond was forfeited, a bench warrant was issued for me and he had me locked up. Every dog has his day. R. E. Daggs." The last sentence is heavily underscored.-[Phenix Re publican.

Steve Peck, of St. Louis, was in the city yesterday. Mir. Peck is one of the owners of the big copper properties twelve miles south of Casa Grande recently purchased by a party of St. Louis men. The claims were origin ally owned by Mahew, Stiles, and Ulloa, who bonded them for $50, ,000 to these gentlemen. A shaft has been sunk about 100 feet and the develop ment of the claims shows the property to be valuable one. A smelter is now being built and test run will be made in short time. A large number of men are employed at the mipe.-( Ph@- nix Pepublican.) This is the mine which J. H. Canavan is developing Frank Boston and Thos s.

Failure of the BimetaIIfc Commission
 Predicted.

Failure of the BimetaIIfc Commission
 Predicted.
 Commenting on the appointment of American commissioners to an inter- national bimetallic conference, the London (Eng.) Times says:
 We believe that all the indications in Europe and the far east point to the failure of such an undertaking. It is improbable that all the enthusiasm of Senator Woleott, combined with the business abilities of Mr. Payne and the Democratic silver sympathies of ex- Yiee-President Stevenson will bring about the conference desired by Presi- dent Mckinley. It is still more iin- probable shat the committee will effect anything without conference.
 "5eparate agreements with the United States are out of the question when the nations of Europe do not wish to agree among themselves in favor of bimetallisn. The commission will have good time and will be re ceiyed everywhere with courtesy President Mckinley will be able to point to its labors as redeeming his election promises, and to their failure as showing that if America wants free silver she must procure it for herself at her own risk.
 'sThe sooner these points are made clear the sooner may we expect Amer. ican business to assume more healthy appearance. It may, therefore, be hoped that this rowing commission will not unduly project its interesting. but futile experiments upon the stability of the financial convictions now govern European policy"

 ahe belief seems to be general that eoustruetion work on the Cila Valley, Globe and Northern railroad will begin at Geronimo at an early date. MT. Jones. cashier of the railroad company, says work will be started within three weeks. However, it is not probable that anything will be done under six week as the right-of-way has yet to be arranged and the agreement approved by the Interior department before the construction force will be permitted to enter the reservation. Itis understood that the consent of the Indians has been obtained, subject to the payment of $10 ,000 indemnity to them by the railroad company. The adjustment o1 the matter is left with Capt Myer agent at San Carlos, and it is hoped there will be no serious hitch it the negotiation. If work is begun by June the railroad should be completed tc Globe before the close of the year. l IGlobe Silver Belt.
