THE MAMMOTH-CoLLlNS. Tucson's Best Neiehbor About to Receive AS5o,o00 Electric Plant.
From the Tucson Star.l

From the Tucson Star.l
 Few people realize what close rela- tions exist between Mammoth, Pinal county, and Tucson, but it is fact that the camp on the San Pedro is Tucson's best customer. General Man ager Geo. r. Blair of the Mammoth Collins Gold Mining and Milling com pany is frequent visitor to Tucson, like many others. His last trip out of camp had much significance, as it was learned last evening in a conversation had with the gentleman. He is enroute to San Francisco to enter into con tract there with parties to establish Il $50, 900 plant in Arivapai canyon, where electrical power for the Mammoth-Col- line company's San Pedro (Mammoth) plant is to be generated Thus it will be seen that business is meant by the Mammoth-Co Collins company in utilizing the water in the aforesaid canyon.
 This will be the most extensive elec- trical plant in Arizona, when estab lished. There are now 50 stamps pounding daily on the ores at the company's mill and 200 tons are worked through per diem. With the 20 additional stamps to be operated after the electric power is in, will mean all of 500 tons, daily, of ore handled at the mill. There will be increas sed tramway facilities to guarantee the traffic from mine to mill
 With the 20 stamps going, doubling of tramway accommodations, and big electrical power plant ill operation, the Mammoth-Collins mining and milling establishments will be the largest in the Territory. It may be truthfully stated that the pant to-day is the largest in Arizona, as 8 gold mining proposition.
 H. w. Blaisdell's cyanide plant will dispose of 500 tons of tailings daily, once it is fairly under way. Its opera tions began but few days ago.
 The St. Louis Gold Recovery com pauy will clean up their pile of tailings in few months, leaving the field to Blaisdell, his plant having capacity equal to the mill output under new and more extensive arrangements. Short of three months, all changed condi- tions will be manifest.
 As before stated, Mammoth is one of Tucson's feeders, the largest, and by May first, at farthest, it will be even better.

National Irrigation.
From the Los Angeles Times.l


 That intrepid and indefatigable ad- vocate of national irrigation, George H. Maxwell, has been talking to the public in this southwestern part of the United States during the past few weeks, and has brought forth many in- teresting and significant facts in con- nection with the national irrigation movement.
 While we are expanding in "furrin" parts there is no reason why we should not at the same time be trying to develop the great heritage of our na- tional domain, much of which is now unavailable for the home-seeker be- cause it is arid.
 In speech delivered at Phoenix, Ariz. the Governor of which Terri tory is an ardent advocate of State cession of arid lands-Mr. Maxwell took up the question of the policy of the National Irrigation Congress. Some people hold that this policy con- templates the building or ownership of all reservoirs and irrigation works by the government. This, Mir. Maxwell said, is an entire misapprehension The Irrigation Congress policy advo- cates the construction of irrigation works by the government only when they are beyond the scope of private enterprise or private capital. But there are certain facts that experience has demonstrated which the Irriga tion Congress is trying to put before the people so as to encourage the development of private irrigation sys- tems on solid basis whenever the conditions make this possible.
 One of these principles is that irriga- be safe and capital can be obtained for investment in them where they are organized as cooperative canal com panies and the ownership of the water and the land united, while under the water right system it is impossible tc secure the investment of capital. It is useless to theorize, Mr. Maxwell said in the face of actual facts. The ex. perience of all countries and of al peoples and iu all times has proved that the united ownership of land anc water has resulted in the upbuildine of prosperous communities, while { divided ownership has resulted in con fusion and has destroyed permanen prosperity.
 In the face of these experiences it il strange that any one should at thi time cling, as many do, to a wate right system as plan of irrigation The difference in organization is sim pie. Under one the water compan,

Winter Irrigation of Orchards.
tBy the Agriculturist.l


 At the Experiment Station Farm during the past year an experiment was made to test the effect of thorough winter irrigation of an orchard. An isolated peach and apricot orchard was the special subject of the experiment, although all the orchard on the farm was irri gated more or less thoroughly during the winter months. The object of the experiment was to ascertain how much summer irrigation might be rem dered unnecessary by the application of an abundance of water during the winter.
 The orchard selected was irrigated (by the furrow system) eight times from December to March. The last ir- rigation, during the latter part of March, was an especially thorough one. As soon as the soil was sufficiently day, to check evaporation, it was narrowed crosswise of the furrows, and was cul- tivated twice and plowed and narrowed once during the next three months. During the latter part of June the or chard was given light irrigation, but received no more irrigating water dur ing the remainder of the season. In general, tine plan of the experiment was thorough winter irrigation followed by thorough summer cultivation.
 The effect of the above treatment was recorded in two ways: CD By making determinations of the amount of moisture in the soil soon after win ter irrigation ceased, and (2l by noting the physical appearance of the trees and the character and amount of the fruit borne.
 For determining the moisture con tents of the soil sample of each foot from the surface to ground water was taken during April, May, June and September. In taking the samples oi soil, roots were encountered in abun. dance as deep as fourteen to sixteen feet, while one peach root was fol. lowed into the twentieth foot at a horizontal distance of eighteen feet from the tree, showing that the water of at least the upper twenty fee could be used by the trees.
 The upper five and half feet wal clayey loam; the next nine feet gravel; then about foot of clay thel another foot of gravel; and the rest o the way to water, fine clay. Henc the roots had passed through ten fee of gravel and four feet at least int the clay beneath.
 The results from the first set of sa ID ples indicated that the irrigating wate had penetrated to depth of twenty four feet. The sixteenth foot was tn, wettest one, the soil being so nearl saturated that it was muddy. Fror
The Florence tribune., 1900-01-20

this point the moisture was less and less abundant, until the twenty-sixth foot was reached. From here the per centage of water increased gradually until ground water was reached at thirty-four feet.
 The second set of samples showed that the capillary action upwards had about kept pace with evaporation, the moisture in the upper four feet being about the same as the month previous. As whole, however, the water had settled some. During the next mon tn evaporation was more rapid than the upward capillary action, the third set of samples, taken during June, show ing that the upper five feet had be- come quite dry. However, there was still plenty of water within reach of the roots, the soil from the fourteenth to the twentieth foot being still wet. The soil samples taken during Septem- Der showed that while the upper fifteen feet were comparatively dry, the lower extremities of the roots were still sur rounded by moist soil.
 The conditions above ground were very satisfactory. The trees grew thriftily and maintained vigorous appearance throughout the season. The trees were well loaded with fruit, the peaches and apricots being larger than the previous year when the or chard was irrigated frequently during the summer. The quality of the fruit was excellent. At the close of the season, though having received but one irrigation since March, the trees were in fine condition.
 The results of this experiment indi- cate the value of filling the soil with water during the winter. At this time, irrigating water is comparatively abundant, evaporation is slow, and the irrigating water is supplemented by some rainfall while during late spring and early summers, when the trees are growing rapidly and consequently need the most water, the conditions are quite differen Most fruit growers consider it advisable in our climate to irrigate at least once month from March to September. The above re- suits demonstrate that in permeable soils much of this summer irrigation may be dispensed with, providing the orchard be cultivated thoroughly.
 The special object of this bulletin, issued at this time, is to impress upon orchardists the importance of begin ming early and irrigating thoroughly throughout the winter. Permanent furrows may by ploweo into which the water can be turned at any time. If clover is to be grown in the orchard during the winter, as suggested iu Timely Hints No. l, the seed should be sown before the soil is furrowed for winter irrigation.

WAFER STORAGE.
An Opportunity for Display of American
 Statesmanship.


 Water storage for the reclamation of arid lands was subject recently discussed in lecture by Hon. Fred erick H. Newell, the irrigation expert of the Geological Survey. MT. Newell has probably made as close study of the subject of irrigation as any ma n in the country and he views the question from very broad standpoint, having reached his conclusions after travers- ing nearly every foot of the great West and observing the operation of different irrigation systems and the effect of various state and local laws and regulations.
 Expansion of territory, externally, he says, is distracting attention from problems equally as great, if not more important, namely those of the exten- sion of agricultural areas and the utilization of mineral resources well within the present limits of the United States. There is an ample field for statesmanship in directing the utiliza- tion of untouched opportunities, since country existing as vacant public land, rich in possibilities. As an instance, fully nine-tenths of the vast extent of Arizona, Nevada and adjacent areas remain in the hands of general govern ment. Much of the soil is highly pro ductive under irrigation, while the more rugged portions contain great mineral wealth which can profitably be developed when labor and easy transportation can be had.
 The west is full of great mining possibilities What are needed for their development are good transportation and good labor. Both of these items are to-day in many sections beyond all reasonable expense. Why? Because the situations are arid, the country supports no population of its own, and as every thing must be transported at tremendous cost, labor brought in, demands immense wages. Give such sections water for irrigation, and the valleys would be settled by farmers, living for the miners would be cheap, naturally the railroads would follow a staple agricultural community, and transportation would be reduced The keystone of western progress is water, and the construction of storage basins to save that water.

There is prevailing tendency among the people of Globe to send away for everything, says the Times. They send away for their clothes; they send away for their printing they send away for lawyers, and would send away for doc tors if they had time. They send away for everything except their whis- key and their mothers-in-law. Some of them have even been charged with ordering their whiskers from Mont gomery, Ward & Co.,, when they could have raised better crop at home with out cost.

THE GREAT NILE DAM.
Stupendous Work of the Egyptian Govern
 ment.

Stunendous Work of the Egyptian Govern
 ment.
 The English began in 1883 their planning for the storage of the Nile waters that now run to waste during flood periods, but it was not until last year that work was actually started on the great Nile dam, which will re- claim over million and half acres. A thousand million gallons of water will be held in storage behind this, the greatest dam in the world, says Mir. Paul Latzke in an interesting letter. Fifteen thousand workmen are now engaged upon the great structure, and it's completion Is guaranteed by July l, 1903. The contractors are to receive no money until the completion of the work, when they will be paid $500 900 a year for thirty years. Under this method of annual payments, the dam will actually cost the Egyptian govern ment nothing, as the land tax on the new area reclaimed will be, it is thought, about $s,OOO,O ,OOO yearly. The government is practically building this storage reservoir, and while it is responsible for 8 certain payment an nually, yet by reason of the building of the reservoir, it not only reimburscs itself but acquires handsome revenue additional.
