PLACER MINING CLAIMS.

Under the United States placer

single location containing 20 acres of
placer mining land, two persons can
make siugle location containing not
more than 40 acres in a compact body
three may locate 60 acres, ETC., but
no single location whether made by
eight persons or more, can exceed l60

12O, 140 or 100 acres in compact
body, according to the number of To-

It is an i'll wind that blows no good
so the saying goes. Now it seems
that Governor Murphy's proclamation
warning eastern people against in
vesting in Arizona mining stocks is
going to prove veritable boom for
the territory. The Spenazuma MINI
ing company's properties in Graham
county, it is alleged, are showing up
most satisfactorily. The irrigation
project of the company embraces every
element of success and is an enter :
prise which when completed will
double the assessed valuation of the
agricultural lands of Graham county.
which means much, for the soil of the
Gila valley is wonderfully productive
in all the standard cereals, fruits and
vegetables, and the mining regions
tributary thereto furnishes high
priced market for every product of
the soil. Yes, it looks as though
Governor Murphy had done the
Spenazuma company a great service
in warning the people against the
purchase of it's stock, for the menu
bers of the company have been placed
upon their mettle and they have gone
at the business of developing their
valuable properties, both mining and

NEW FORM OF POSTAL MONEY
ORDER.

The postofice department has
adopted new form of domestic
money order, which will be introduced
gradually, or as supplies of the old
form become exhausted at the various
postofices throughout the country,
after the 4th of September.
The distinctive features of the new
form are: The new form is somcs-
what smaller than the order now il,
use. It's dimensions are about those
of the ordinary bank draft. 1t has
two ordinary adjuncts-thc advice, or
notiGca tion to be sent by the issuing
to the paying postmaster, is q repro
duotion of the order through. the Use
of carbonized paper (the manifold
process, and receipt for the amount
to be furnished by the issuing post
master to the remitte.
On the back of the order separate
space has been provided for the stamps
of banks through which it may be
passed for collection
In color the order is blue, having a
light blue ground, with fine, closely
interlaced, tinted lines of geometrical
lathwork of darker shade. In the
centre is an escutcheon bearing the
words, "Postal Money Order" in
shaded capital letters of the same two
tints Of blue. The tint of the order
and the latb work will serve to pre-
vent limitations; but, as an additional
safeguard against counterfeiting, q
horizontal water mark, composed Of
the initials U. s, NJ. O., in broad,
capital letters, has been wrought into
the paper on whieh the new forms are

Throughout the entire west the
plan OF constructing reservoirs to be
under national control in which to
store food water for irrigation, is
universally approved, says the Los
Angeles Times. No more necessitous
nor beneficial work can employ the
attention Of the Western delegation
in congress than comprehensiv e
plan of irrigation for the entire wes-
tern area. The annual appropriations
by Congress for the Improvement of
rivers and harbors in the east and the
Pacific coast are not more strictly
within The scope and province of Con-
gress, nor more far-reaching and GER
tain in their beneficial results than
would be appropriations for national
storage reservoirs for the impounding
of torrential and flood waters in the
Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains
Many of the most conscientious and
far-sighted men in the west are now
advocating a government system OF
leasing the public lands at nominal
rental for pasturage and farm pur-
poses, and employing the revenues for
State irrigation works aud other I'M
provements.
