FIN UP THE CEMETERY.


While the beard of supervisors are
n session the JOurnal-AIiner would
ike to call their attention to Il matter
that has long been neglected. and one
which should receive immediate affen-
ton. The Citizens cemetery. just
east Of the city. is in 4 deDIorabIe con
dition in several ways. Probably the
most crying need in this matter is to
nave the cemetery surveyed. laid off
in lots and avenues. and an official
plat made of IT.
For years there has been no plat of
the place and consequently no deeds
could be given for lots. the only thing
that could he done was 10 give re
ceiDt for so much money paid for so
much ground This is not rs it should
be- \ great number of graves have
been entirely lost track OF and it
sometimes occurs that the grave dig
gers in opening up grave. strike
into old graves where all surface traces
have been Obliterated. and as there is
no plat this cannot be avoided. There
should be strict rules adopted for the
management Of the affairs of the
cemetery. and this sacred duty we
owe to the memory Of loved ones
whose ashes are laid away in this
silent city. 10 not neglect their last
resting place Let the board take M
this matter at once and not only have
the grounds laid out in proper form
but place a new fence around the en-
tire grounds and good gates put in
70 take the place of the old dilapidated
ones now hanging 10y one hinge or on
wire or any old way. Then let those
who have loved ones buried there fix
ND their lots and clear off the old
rubbish and fallen fences and fix up
the headstones that have become rick
ety- put up new ones where none have
ever been. and thus remove the silent
repr0ach to our city and county.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, rs they cannot
reach the diseased portion of tie ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube gets infamed, you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition

TERRIToRY's WATER SUPPLY

record of diminished supply that there
has been corresponding increase in
the number of new appropriations of
water on upper Salt river. the Verde

streams. Each year new canals are
taken cut. and the waters of these
streams is abdcuted 10 the lands adj
iacent. thus diverting it from the legit-
innate channel through which it should
flow Dninterruptedly.
''Inthe Tonic country and on the
Verde below jerome will be found the
increase of appropriation. But it has
been correspOndingly active even on
the smaller tributaries. These Junior

can idea of priority of rights. which
means living furthest up the creek.
1t matters little whether the sheep or

There is but one recourse and that

and salt rivers there is sufficient
wealth among the people of the valley
to construct the dams and build all
works necessary to properly distribute
the water thus stored. True. forest re-

SERIOUS MINE EXPLOSION.

his head very badly bruised up and
