The I Ios Angeles Express, referring
to the Alaska gold excitement says:
"Right here in Southern California
are mines that turn 900 pounds OF
gold every month. In Arizona are
several mines that turn out from 800
pounds to half ton of gold every
month. In the northern part OF
Mexico and the northern part oi
Lower California, both easy of access
to Americans, are placers, some OF
which have turned out a quarter of g
ton Of gold in a month. These facts
are much more easily authenticated
than are some of the "frozen truths

There only sightean years ago, small

ture loves to paint her happicst land
! scapes, gardens and orchards and
fields and meadows stretch away OF
either hand, while around and about
bpbbling of running streams seems
a rythmic, exuAing pean of triumph
of the victory OF water over the des-
ert. A VICTORY grand it has been,
indeed: victory th vt could have
beer. won only in land such az this,
blessed with fertile soil and under
smiling skies.
Mesa was fortunate in it's inception
in having it's lands divided into small
holdings. Each of CT these small
holdings was given over to family,
the original settlers ,haying been of
exceptional intelligence and industry.
The result is that Mesa, on the whole,
leads the valley in the Improvement
of its farms. Each holding has a
dwelling, usually small and generally
neat, it's ORCHARD and vineyard, its
pasture of alfalfa and often its patch
of grain land. The primary object
seems to have been to obtain on each
farm all the ne cessities of life posi-
BILE to secure from the soil.
The upland soil of the mesa is we'll
adapted to the growth of fruits, the
grape especially thriving. The pro-
duct when marketed is usually dried
and the returns for number of years
have been very satisfactory to the
growers. Although the Mormous are
hardly in the majority, the Gentile
residents have readily fallen into the
customs of the churchmen. and CO.
ore. alton is recognized and sustain :
ed as the onlytrue method whereby
the small farmer may thrive"

storing water relative to the value o
the crops produced.
The conditions hlieay described
aboyeyare not peculiar to the vicinity
of Phoenix, or even to the Territofy
OF Arizona; they prevail in greater OF
lesr degree throughout the more. arid
parts OF the United States. for in
nearly every portion Of this country
irrigation has been demonstrated to
be successful and largely profitable,
Systems ofwater supply have been
built. the more easily available waters
utilized, and the extension of irriga-
BILE lands now rests mainly upon the
conservation of waste waters. It is
for this reason that discussion OF
the conditions near Peoenix. Arizona,
has ~ interest, not only to the citi-
zens Of that locality, bqt in general is
of value to residents in other portions 8
Of the west. In certain respects the
needs for water are more pressing IN
south rn Arizona thap elsewhere, and
thus the probabilities of early solution
of some of the problems of water
storage are here more likely to be
settled in the near future.
The situation in the Salt end Gila
valleys is fairly typical OF that els--
wnere as regards the probable profits
to be obtained by constructing stor-
age reservoirs. Briefly stated; it may
be said that the canal systems already
constructed or partially completed
cover larger area Of land than can
be supplied by the average summer
flow of the streams. Water from res
eryoirs is needed for jsads already
under ditch and whose owners have
already purchased water rights. There
are above these bitches still larger
tracts Of land which yopll be yalu-
able if water could be had, but it is
apparent that the greatest good would
result from securing an ample supply
of water to the lands already cult
waited rather than indefinitely increas-
ing the area of poorly watered farms.
BY the construction of storage works
commanding the valley lands, there
necessarily results aa increase in val
ne of every acre even though water
rights have not been purchased, from
the fact that there is 3 possibility of
purchasing these. Upon the COM
pletion Of such works, there takes
place what is termed an unearned in
crement OF value of ali lands, for with
the assurance of a larger supply even
to other portions OF the valley the
chances of securing water in one way
or another are increased. This in
crement of valae is in round num-
bers equivalent to the cost OF the
storage works. and if it could lie
transferred from the pockets of the
recipients, WHO have done nothing to
| deserve it, to the hands of the persons
who have built the works, accounts
wonld Lc balanced and it would he
possible to construct these great en-
terprises. AS matter Of fact, how-
ever, the association or group of men
who build a reservoir must look Ia
voluntary purchases by individuals
slowly purchasing water rights for
lsnds already owned or must seek
reimbursement by putting the water
upon desert lands and selling land
and water"
