In n Mexican Jail.

Lieutenant Henderson has received
letter from George w. Campbell. a
member Of the Nevada troop of Tor.
rey's Rough Riders, who is now con-
fined in Jail at the City Of Mexico.
When Campbell was discharged last
year, he struck out for Mexico III the
hopes OF securing lucrative employ
ment This he failed to secure and
was taken sick. His wanderings fin
ally brought him to the City of Mex
leo, where he was making his way
along one of the principle streets one
day when he was accosted by Mex
lean policeman, who called him a
"cabron," very vile name. Campbell
asked the policeman whom he was
talking to and the policeman replied
ito you, you Gringo American" and
began to draw his club. At this
Campbell landed on the neck of the
policeman and his head etruck the
sidewalk. The policeman did not
come to for several seconds. Camp
bell was then set upon from all sides
by the Mexicans and nearly beaten to
death. He was finally landed in Jail
where he had his head sewed up in
seven different places. One of his
eyes was badly injured and he is
threatened with the loss of it's sight,
Campbell describes the Jail as being
filthy beyond description. Ats o'clock
every night $500 prisoners are thrown
into dormitory to remain until 6 the
next morning. This place, he says,is
thick with vermip. Most OF tho pris-
oners lie down on the stone floor,
without as much as straw to lie on
Campbell has piece OF an old sack
coat for his bed. He appeals to his
old comrade to send him some money
that he may buy bread to eat and
lessen his torture in the Mexican hell
hole.
His appeal fell upon willing ears
and ten dollar bill OF good Ameri-
lean money is on its way to NJ exico to
relieve his wants. In addition to this
MIR. Henderson has forwarded copies
OF the letter to Campbell's friends in
Tuscarora and to Captain Cox and

Nevada's Exhibit.

A News r1an called on Commission
er Yerington this morning and found
him and his assistants busily engag-
ed in classify, labelling and boxing
Nevada's mineral exhibit for the Par
is exposition. Our people hardly real
ize the Importance of this work to the
State. .....
MIR. ferlnRten is having ma 1e a
map OF the State to occupy large
wall space, which will clearly show
the mineral locations, railroads, wag-
on roads, etc. Every exhibit will be
numbered and have corresponding
number on the Lap, so that anyone
Interested in particular specimen,
by look at the map can tell from what
part Of the State it came, distance
from the railroad, etc.
There have been shipped fifty three
cases OF specimens to date and there
Will be about twenty more.
What Is needed more particularly
to make the exhibit a grand success
Is some fine gold specimens, and Mr..
lexington requests the owners of
private collections throughout the
State to contribute to the same. guar
anteeing that they will be returned in
as good condition as when received.
They can be shipped to him free by
Wells, Fargo & Co. Each loaner of a
specimen is requested to put the
value on the same and as soon as it
Is received a receipt will be sent for
the same. AS soon as they are class
ltied they will be shipped to New
York by express and the value of the
collection telegraphed to the Govern
ment at Washington, and it is insur-
ed to the full amount, so that i'll case
of loss the owner is reimbursed to the
full value.

An earthquake at San Jacinto, Cal.
Christmas morning destroyed every

WATER STORAGE.

ASNuOAbo" ny the secretary
of the Interior.
A good proportion of the report of
the Secretary of the Interior is devot-
ed to arid lands and how they may be
reclaimed.
VI unreserved and unappropriated
lands Nevada is shown to possess 6l,-
326,74O aores,of which 80, 1928 acres
are unsurveyed.
The lrrigable area of the arid land
is placed at 100000 acres distribut-
ed throughout the Mountain States
as follows:
Arizona, 1000; Colorado, 5000, 900;
Idaho, 100000: Montana, 1000; Ne
vada, 100000; North Dakota, 2,OOO,,
600; Utah, 100000, and Wyoming :,
100000.
Secretary Wilson says: That this
vast acreage capable of sustaining
and supporting at least 100000 peo-
pie under a system of irrigation,
should remain practically desert is
not In harmony with the progressive
spirit of the age or in keeping with
the possibilities of the future. What
can be accomplished upon the vary
ing conditions in each of the localities
named, and what should be attempt
ed also depends upon the returns to
be expected. In other words the
fundamental question is whether it
would pay to store and control the
storm ana flood waters, which by
proper irrigation may add increased
wealth and provide happy homes for
willing workers.
The cost per acre of a properly con-
structed irrigation system necessarily
varies and depends on local condi.
tons. The remarkable results, how
ever, accomplished in the valley of
the Nile, is practically redeeming
Egypt from bankruptcy, should en-.
courage most liberal consideration
of the question Of irrigation. 1t is
desirable that such reasonable expen.
ditures be made by the federal gov
eminent and by the States as will
gradually, but as quickly as possible,
insure the blessings consequent upon
well defined and executed system of
irrigation.
Recommendations in the way Of res
ervoir sites, methods of retaining al
teratioDs in the law relating to the
use of water etc. follow and of mis-
use of water says:
"MaDy OF the valleys of the Mount
ain States are being injured serious

Wherever the soil contains alkali, it
is being brought to the surface when
too much water is applied, and the
