AT THE HOTELS.

At the Commercial, Eugene F. San guinetti o: Yuma, gave the newspaper mar a few minutes of his time.
 T arrived in Yuma in 1882, and went to work for Ginocchio & Co.,, general merchandise. and soon became part Ter with Gandolfo, who bought out GinoccflIo. That was in 1887 or 1888. I have been there ever since, and ex- pect to remain. Yuma was fair sized town of about 1000 inhabitants and about 5000 Indians when I went there. There are now about 2,200 in habitants, and there are about 50 per cent of the Indians. They drop off one by one and fail to keep up by in- crease.
 'The State of Arizona Improvement company is now pumping from the Colorado with a 26-inch centrifugal pump into the canal, which is built for about nine miles. This is furnish ing at present an ample supply for the ranchers along the line It is surpris- ing the transformation of things this has accomplished in this region. You go that way today and it is desert Iii a short time you return to find ii all in green and everything looking prosperous A full fedged farm has sprung up. The alfalfa is now in the second crop cutting, and there will be five or six more crops this year. We have had watermelons for the past thirty days. H. w. Blaisdell hat shipped all his apricots about si, weeks ago and is now shipping orange. and grapes. All going to California Ranchers below town have also beer shipping their early varieties.
 Then we have another large cana taken out by the farmers. It is al eight-miie run going parallel with the first. They are pumping with 22 inch pump. This canal runs through virgin soil. opening up an entirely new country.
 Both canals will be extended about six miles within the next six months most of the land being already taken up and being cleared and with little homes dotting themselves along.
 Work has been mostly stopped fol the hot season. In fact, it became a little too warm for the prison men The farmers are working right or through the heat. They are anxious to get as much under cultivation as possible.
 ,1The big company is contemplating putting in a gravity canal which will enhance property four or five times present values
 ''The outlook for Yuma is certainly one to cause us all to feel hopeful and encouraged for the future. We do no, see where any possible obstruction can come in to interfere with our advance ment and progress, and we look for ward to a not very distant day when Yuma shall be mentioned in the same

THE TUCSON BOOM.
It Is Steadily Growing in Size and
 Strength.

Mr. Theodore G. Fitch of Tucson, general manager for the Singer Sew ing Machine company for Arizona, Sonora and Lower California, is in the city. When MT. Fitch is not booming Singer sewing machines he is boom ing Tucson. The old pueblo has ar ranged to burn s2,000 on the Fourth of July and MT. Fitch says it could raise that much more if it were need ed for the confiagration. The build ing boom in Tucson continues with out abatement. The Elks have orga- nized club composed wholly of mem bers of the order. Without turning a hair they raised S6,000 and bought a large lot on the corner of Court and Ott streets, opposite the northeast cor ner of the court house plaza. They have already obtalned plans for a club house which will cost from S8,000 to S10,00O and they will shortly begin ad- vertising for bids for construction. The house will be an ornate affair, two stories and a basement, the floor Of the first story about six feet above the street level. The basement will be occupied by bar-room and billiard rooms, the first story by card rooms, reception rooms and other apartments arpertaining to a club house, and the second story by lodge room and as sembly room / All this is to be ac- complished by a lodge whose mem bership is about eighty.
 The ease with which money is col lected in Tucson, MT. Fitch says is astonishing. He doesn't know where it comes from, but he knows that the people of the town are not dependent upon outsiders. He does not believe that all the interest sent out of Tue son would amount to S100 a month.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A GOOD BEE
 HIVE,

Simplicity and efficiency are the main requirements of the modern bee hive. The hive produces no honey, but it is an indispensable instrument in bee culture. The best implement is often a failure in inefficient hands, while an efficient operator can make a partial success even with poor tools, but for first class job we look for good mechanic with the best tools In the production of honey, like the pro- duction of anything else, at this time. competition is very strong, and if We would make a profit on the goods pro- duced we must cheapen the production. We must produce the very finest goods at the lowest possible figure
 This we can accomplish only by hay ing the best bees, the best hives and implements, and handle the same eco- nomically. The man who rides ''hob- bieS" and runs after "fads" in bee cul :. ture will have a lean bank account l.. W. Lighty in American Gardening.

THE DAIRY.

The Iowa dairy commissioner reports that there are 773 butter factories and 116 skimming stations in that state, with an average of 964 cows per cream cry, or nearly three-quarters of mill lion cows. The product, in round num- bers, amounted to about eighty thou sand pounds Of butter, worth at the creameries more than $13,000, ,000 There is no evidence that so much but ter product has in any way reduced the number of beef cattle, hogs, sheep or horses in the state, and, perhaps, the beef cattle and hogs are increased by the large amount of skim milk used for calves and swine. It is, therefore, not strange that the creameries in creased by eighty-one last year, and the number of patrons by 9.049.

TO INCREASE THEIR NAMES.
Steps Being Taken by the Principa
 Maritime Nations.

Naval Progress, a periodical issued by the office of naval intelligence, gives an interesting account Of the steps pelns taken by the principal maritime nations to increase their naval forces. Accord ing to it Great Britain is building or about to build 1OS ships. upon which she will expend S107, 900, 900, and will increase her personnel by $500 officers and men this year. Russia's program of naval ex- mansion calls for an expenditure of S31S,- OOO 0OO France is adding to her fleet at an expense of S144. .300, 900. Germany has program looking to the expenditure Of S24O 900, 900, and Japans program requires the expenditure of S192, ,39O. 600.
 Considering her resources, Japan is making a more rapid increase in ships and men than any other power. France is constructing more torpedo bca than any of the continental governments, while Great Britain continues to outstrip the world in the number, power and cost of vessels of all types and classes. The total strength of the English navy is shown to be 10O,050 officers and men. British Improvements in dock yards at home and abroad have been marked by great energy. England is now building three immense docks at Gibraltarfi and is making extensive improvements at her naval stations at Hong Kong, Malta and Bermuda. Russias plans include the opening of a new naval base. on the coast of Lapland,' at point between the White sea and the Norwegian coast, and connected by rail with St. Petersburg.
 The 10S new ships designed for the British navy are of all classes fourteen being battle ships, fourteen first-class cruisers. nine second-class cruisers, fifty two torpedo-boat deStroyerS and the re- mainder small cruisers and gunboats. The three large battle ships to be laid down this year will be of the Majestic type. The four armoured cruisers will be among the most powerful vessels of this type in the world. Not less than twenty-one knots an hour will be the speed requirement.. The other cruisers will be of about the same type as the Detroit and the gunboats a little larger than the Bancroft.
 Frances building program extends over a period of eight years and will aggregate in 1905 about s144. 300, 900, making an annual expenditure for increasing the strength of the fleet of SIS, 900, 900. She has now under construction twelve battle ships and nine armoured cruisers, be- sides great number of torpedo boat de- strcyers and smaller ships.
 Germany's naval program provides for the building, exclusive of torpedo boats, gunboats and vessels for special pur- poses, of seventeen ships of the line, eight armoured coast defense vessels, twelve large cruisers and twenty-six small cruisers, besides nine large ships in reserve.
 Russia has recently completed a 13,OOO.- ton battle ship, and has another sister ship building. Besides, she has number of small cruisers. twelve torpedo boat destroyers and several torpedo boats building.
 The growth of Japan's naval strength is remarkable, both as to the number ard

TIMBER PURCHASE.
An Application the First of Its Kind
 Here.

A petition was filed in the United States land office today from J. c. Brown, E. c. Boyce and H. E. Howe, under the act of March 8, 1891, and February 13, 1893, as defined and reg ulated by general land office circular of March IT, 1898, for the privilege of purchasing and cutting timber from 4,0S0 acres of land in Coconino county. Heretofore the only way to secure the timber from non-mineral lands of the territory has been to take it up under the homestead act or through the pur- chase of isolated tracts. After per fecting title to the land the owner, of course, has the privilege of selling

 Another thing, if you wish to men, tion it, is that our mining interests are looking bright and f1ourishing. A number have started up recently. The Fortuna has been running two years and looks better today than ever be- fore. They might not like me to men tion the amount, but I know they are turning out large bars every month.
 "Then there is the Senator, which has been working for the last year and seemingly doing well. It recently went into the hands of receiver, but it was not on account of lack of values in the property.
 ''Our firm has been working from forty-fve to fifty men for the last year and half in the Castle Dome mines, shipping our lead and silver to San Francisco, and we intend to double the capacity in a short time.
 ''The Golden Cross mine, about twenty-five miles from Yuma is drop ping 40 stamps on low grade ore, but it is in unlimited quantity. They are doing well under the management of IC w. Pauly, superintendent.
 There are a large number of small mines being worked on small scale under bonds, and if present indications go for anything it will not be long be- | fore mills will be erected on quite a number of them.
 1 Our streets are all being straight i ened out and macadamized, and prison labor is utilized as much as possible. Scon you will not be able to recognize Yuma as the old-time town. This will be due to the progressive ideas of our people and not little credit will be due to our townsman, J. W. Dor rington, superintendent of the prisou.
 Telephone wires and posts are now going in, and we can talkee-taIkee from one end of the town to the other without hunting each other from pillar to post and back again"
 1 MT. Sanguinetti is of very retiring nature and it was with considerable difficulty he was persuaded to submit to so lengthy an interview, but when upon the subject of Yuma he grows in tensely in earnest and leaves no room fer doubting his loyalty to the town he so ably represents abroad.
 | He has not dabbled in politics and the wonder is that Yuma should per nit him to hide his own and its light under such a buShel.

Hope, that on the distant skies
Paints sweet visions to the eyes,
Luring still the laggard feet
On a journey without end,
Once upon expectant ground
Where your golden wealth is found.
Loi we see its famed retreat
Where the hills and heavens blend.
Hope. your cup has bitter lees
Turned to saddened memories
Day by day, and year by year,
With purpose true. sincere.
How we follow. follow on;
How your fair elusive dawn,
With a hint of perfect day,
Keeps us ever young and true;
Till at last in fallow fields
Deeper still the twilight steals,
Then we wake to find the sun
Near his setting, while the gray
Wells and softly hides the blue.
AS the light to darkness yields.
Over peaceful tropic seas,
Sunny ports among the trees
Mariners at sunset view;
And with dreams supremely blest.
AS all mortals here may be,
Turn they gayly to their rest.
At the morn a broken spar
Tells how false such visions are;
Tattered sails upon the sea
Tell how midnight storms may whelm
Hopeful heart and steady helm!
