The Conquest of Arid America.
From the Tucson star.l

From the Tucson Star.l
 Lieutenant-General Nelson A. Miles thirteen years ago in his address to the Society of Arizona. Pioneers on the occasion of the anniversary of the sur render of Geronimo, in referring to the conquest of the Apaches struck the key note when he declared that still greater conquest confronted the peo- pie of the arid region, and that was the subjugation of the vast arid valleys and plains of the Rocky Mountain re- zion, pointing out the results achieved by the Orientals of the Eastern Hemis- phere in ancient days, and the results enjoyed by the British government in its colonial possessions during the pre- sent era; that greater possibilities awaited the capital, energy and in- dustry of the American people in this vast unknown region-the Oriental cline of the west.

LOSS OF LIFE AT SEA.
erably Lower Than for Pre- viOus Year.

The, annual report of the supervising inspector general of steamboats, which has just been made public in the form of an abstract, contains a highly inter esting exhibit of the numbers of lives lost at sea from American vessels dur ing the last calendar year, together with other important correlated infor- nation. It appears from this document that the total number of persons drowned, or who came to their death in other ways, was 404, which is a consid- erable increase over the previous year, when the aggregate of fatalities was 123 less. This increase was due to the laundering of the steamer Portland off the Massachusetts coast during the great gale on the night of Novembes 27,. 1898. Every one of the 127 persons on board perished.
 Of the total of 404 s6 fatalities were ehargeabie to accidental drowning, 213s persons went. down with wrecks, 13
 succumbed to fires, 31 were killed in
 collisions, 2A were the victims of ex- plosions or of accidental escape of steam, and in 37 cases miscellaneous causes were reported.
 The chapter on destruction of vessel property shows that AS vessels met with accidents, seven had fires, 13 were in collision, eight experienced breaking
 of steam pipes. two had explosions and
 IS encountered snags and wrecks or developed leaks As the duty of the
 supervising inspector generals office is 1 to ascertain whether steam vessels have
 complied with all the safety require
 ments in the matter of live-saving appli-
 ances and relative to the condition of
 boilers the report may be considered a 1 favorable exhibit. The destruction of the Portland was not due to laxness on 1 the part of inspectors, but to the reck- lessness of her captain, who insisted on putting out to sea in the teeth of fierce 1 storm.
 Except for this disaster, the loss of life would have been comparatively ] small. Only two vessels were damaged 1 by explosions-an excellent record con l sidering the extent of steam water
 traffic. Baltimore Herald

From The Prospector,l
 The Fl Paso Times says "The story published exclusively in the Times about a. week ago to the effect that the Southern Pacific shops would be removed to El Paso was not an idle rumor.
 Recently, when in Fl Paso, Super intendent Randolph of the Tucson di- vision of the Southern Pacific, was asked if it was true the Tucson shops would be removed to Ell Paso and the superintendent replied that according to his information the shops would un- doubtedly be moved here very shortly. There were several we'll known citi- zens of this city present at the time when Mir. Randolph. made the state- ment."
 The Tucson Citizen comments on the above as follows:-
 "The Citizen is abls'to announce up on the highest authority that Col. Ran dolph made no such statement either directly or in effect and that so far as the reference to the movement is con cerned it is absolutely without founda- tion. The railroad shops in Tucson will not be removed to El Paso now or in the future; on the contrary they will be enlarged to many times their present capacity and if there is any moving to be done it will be from El Peso here. For some time Col. Ran dolph has been quietly and persistent- ! ly at work with the Southern Pacific authorities endeavoring to persuade them to enlarge the Tucson shops and within few weeks now the work will begin.
 There were many difficulties in the way but these have been overcome and when the work is complete there vii be a thousand men at work, and pos sibly more, in the shops here"

General Miles was the first public
 utterance of note on this subject. It
 was followed by an able contribution
 in the March, 1899, number of the North American Review, under the l caption of sOur Unwatered Empire"
 This paper was the first presentation of the subject to the American people by one who could speak from personal | observation of the arid region, for he had traversed it. Every part or sec tion had at some time been under his military jurisdiction, hence he spoke and wrote strongly, and with that pow CT which conviction creates. From the date of the publication of that com trihution, the arid land question, it's reclamation, it's value, it's importance to the present and future prosperity of the United States, has become the leading issue Of the west, resulting in national irrigation conventions; the national political parties have incor- porated blanks in their platforms recognizing the importance of the arid land problem. Thus in the short period of thirteen years the prediction of military genius and statesman has been crystalized into veritable national issue, and "Our Unwatered Empire" pointed out by General Miles. ten years ago has brought into the field of investigation strong advocates. one of the most conspicuous of whom is William E. Smyth, who did much in bringing about the early organization of the national irrigation congress. MT. Smyth has recently, through Harper Bros., publishers, issned a book under the title of 'oThe Conquest of Arid America" which will establish for its author name and ought to bring him eomfor table fortune. No book has recently issued from the American press which will meet with more popular or general favor, Hot only in this region but throughout the United States. It tells the story of the great achievements in the west in the conquest of arid regions reclaimed to agriculture; it predicts the future of the rainless region and sustains those predictions with indisputable reasons and facts which to read is to accept. The author of the Conquest of Arid America" has been gifted with vision of the future Of Arid America, which he portrays in living, pulsating words. He tells the story in new and brightest colors of "the millions yet to come" who will conquer this arid region aud will esta blish 8 farm life, cooperation life, happy, industrious citizenship which will be the main stay of the Republic. "The Conquest of Arid America" is the book of the century to those who love home and country and wish for the perpetuation of the Republic for it points out the way. The author has done greater
 work than he can now realize. The present and future will reap the ] harvest. Every member of congress should read it as well as every citizen of the United States who desires to
 know of the possibilities and future of Arid America.

SOMETHING NEW.
Vaudeville at the Opera House is
highly Appreciated. Will
last all Week.

A fair crowd last night, at the OPP
era house greeted w. W. Lapoint's
vaudeville show and the manner in
which they encored it was easily seen
they were highly pleased. Small
wonder at this as the varied numbers
on the program are taken care of by
good performers.
On account of being delayed by the
trains some of the people did not ar
rive until late which put off some
what the beginning, but with the as
sistance of Mr.. Dearbornc, the plan
list, the time slipped away rapidly.
The performance opened with a
farce entitled "Brown's Troubles,
and was good appetizer; DelisIe, the
boy jugglcr followed. His act is a
good one and introduces some novel
tics in that line. Marion Sawtelle as
a character singer fairly captured the
house when she gave her imitation of
a little girl singing. Her other num-
bers were also heartily encored.
Mick and Blanche Murphy kept
the house in continual laughter es-
pecially Mick as his acrobatic feats
were SO difficult but so easily and
comically performed that the audi
ence insisted on some more.
Helen Jewell as a vocalist has a
splendid voice and added greatly to
the program.
Harry Brown as the black faced ar
fist and banjost enjoyed his share of
praise. and Boulder and Griffin, the
musical entertainers, made the end of
the evening very pleasant.
These people are high class artists
in their line and deserved the several
calls which they received.
The program was brought to a
close by another farce entitled, "The
Tragedy at Toll Gate lnn' which
was very laughable in some places.
These people will be seen tonight
in different acts, there being an en-
tire change of program and for the
pieces there is no reason why the
house should not be crowded.
