Dredgers are working on Snake river,
Feather river and the basins Of Idaho
on ground that averages Is to 20 cents,
and % 0S per month is the profit real
lied on 30,000S investment. There
are dredger propositions on the Colo
RADIO river that will in the near future
prove veritable Golcondas, and after
men who own and operate dredges
come to realize the enormous wealth
of the dredger lands along this river
boom will be added to Yuma county
the like of which has never been known
in the whole wide world. And the day
is n far distant. The company above
mentioned recently refused IA cash Of
fer of COOS for 400 acres of land, which
proves that capital is coming to realize
the possibilities Of these lands. Mr..
Feige commenced work last week and
the company has in hand considerable
development work to be inaugurated
shortly. Col T. W. Brooks, president
of the company, left Monday for San
Francisco at the solicitation of dredger
capitalists to submit propositions for
the operation of dredge on the land.
Col. Brooks is very enthusiastic over
his ultimate success and it is safe to
predict that within the next six months
dredge will be operating on these
lands.-Yuma Sentinel.
Edwin A. Carter, of Springfield,
Mass, vice-president of the Shannon
Copper company, who was recently at
Clifton inspecting the mine, is more
than pleased, and is enthusiastic re-
garding the future of the property,
says the Lordsburg Liberal. The work
that has already been doue under Mr.
Schroter's direction has developed
more ore, and in fact, Mr. Schroter
cannot find anything but ore. He ha>
wanted to sink a three partment
shaft in country rock to be used in the
actual working of the mine. He wants
to sink it in the country rock so that
| he will not have to leave large mass
of valuable ore to support the shaft
but has been unable to find the coun.
try rock in which to build his -haft
Mr.. Carter thinks that eventually the
entire top of the mountain, on which
the property is situated, will be smelt.

drift any, as he is anxious to make
depth as rapidly as possible. The at
tainment of this object brought him to
Prescott to purchase hoisting plant.
The discovery of these claims was made
by mere accident, as Mr.. Merrill was
surveying route for wagon road
he noticed the groupings and com
menced to prospect them, finding rich
ore. Prescott is the base of supplies
for this property and it is reached by
wagon road from Cherry Creek station
on the p. & +. railroad. Journal
Miner.
William Newton, familiarly known as
"Billy" Newton, when he was brick
layer in Denver in 1883, is now the sole
owner of copper mine in Oregon,
2,5OO,OOOS. The man who less than a
dozen years ago, garbed in overalls,
with a corn-cob pipe in his mouth aud
a trowel in his hand. worked for l.50S
aud zoos day in this city, now has
money to burn and a fountain of min
eral that works while he sleeps. This
Is no rambling romance, but fact.
Newton is one of the old-timers of
Denver, coming in 1863. He lived here
until 1883, devoting the last few years
of this period in laying brick, as the
only means of livelihood he could get.
He occupied rooms at 576 and 636
Santa Fe avenue and also at 1912 Lari-
mer street. Tiring of a hand to mouth
existence, Newton determined to strike
for something better and landed in Or
egon with prospecting pick. His re-
ceipts average 900s to 1500s a car. His
mine is near Huntington, in eastern
Oregon. The vein is 100 feet wide aud
5000 feet long, of richest copper. 1t is
said to be one of the very finest prop
critics of its kind on the Pacific coast,
running 60 to rs per cent in copper and
57s in gold. The mine is but half a
mile from railroad.-Denver News
The Yuma Colorado River Gold
Dredging company, which owns placer

ground would be making bid for the
reputation of a colossal liar. A good,

ed. He says there is enough high
grade ore in sight which, if smelted,
would pay the purchase price of the
mine and for the necessary reduction
works. This ore is more than self
fluxing, and could be run through
smelter in stream. The ore in the
adjoining mines all turn to sulphides
in the lower levels, and in the long run
it will pay the best to develop the sui
phides and use the high grade ores as
a flux in smelling the sulphides. The
company expects to erect the most

A Great Pictorial Serial for a Magazine.

Photographs of the most interesting
and picturesque spots in America have
been made for The Ladies' Home Jour
nal, and they will be reproduced in
that magazine on the finest coated
paper. This series of pictures-"Pic
turesque America" as it is to be called
will show the great beauties of land
scape and waterscspe of this country
in way In which they have never been
seen before. Many of the pictures are
of places that have escaped the eye of
the tourist following the beaten paths
of travel. They are collected by one
who has crossed the continent more
than hundred times, who has viewed
the scenery with appreciative eyes, and
who is, perhaps, the best qualified man
in the country to describe them.

GENERAL MERCIER's ERROR.

General Mercier's remarkable
nc talked about the ease with which a
French army could invade England,
has been greeted with deserved ridi-
Guile, even in his own country. 1t was
evidently a play for personal popular
ity, but it was going a step too far to
suit even a grand stand public that
had been worked into anti-British
frenzy by the recent visit of Dom Paul
Kruger.
General Mercier's plan is for hurl.
ing a strong force of infantry into
England, and he ventures the asscr-
ton that such a project would neither
be expensive nor difficult. The best
answer to General Mercier's argument.
however, is advanced by Dr.. A. Conan
Doyle in his recent History of the
Great Boer War" DR.. Doyle says:
One of the most certain lessons of
the war, S regards ourselves. is once
for all to reduce the bugbear of an in
vasion of Great Britain to an absurd
ty. With a moderate efficiency with
the rife, the ~able-bodied population of
this country could, without it's fleet
and without its professional soldiers,
defy the united forces of Europe. A
country of ~hedgerows would. with
modern weapons, be the most terri.
bic ENHANCEMENT into which an army
could wander. The advantage of the
force over the attack, and OF the sta
tionary force against the one which
been so frequently proved by the Bo-
crs against ourselves. as well as by
ourselves against the Beers, that the
man who still breads the invasion OF
Kent or of Sussex must either be the
most nervous Dr. the most stupid OF
his sex So much national c~onsola,
ton can we draw from the ordeal
through which we have passed"
If General MERCER is inclined TO
draw no lessons from the South Afri.
can war, however. the French people
will not be so blind. The protests that
have arisen from France show that,
deep as the national hatred of Eng,
land appears to be, the folly of a val

MONDELL'S RESERVOIR PLAN.

Representative Mondell of Wyoming
Is going to work in the right way to Sc.
cure appropriations for the Construc-
ton of irrigation reservoirs. He is
trying to induce the committee on riy-
ers and harbors to include an appro-
priation of that kind in its bill. and
there is some reason to believe that he
will succeed.
There is practically no hope of Sc.
curing special appropriations for the
construction of storage reservoirs in
the arid region. Especially is this true
in respect to the present session OF
congress. A bill asking for a separate
and distinct appropriation would en-
counter opposition at nearly every step
of the way. 1t would draw all the fire
of the opposition, and if not buried in
committee it would very probably be
killed when it came to a vote.
The committee on rivers and har-
bors might, however, be induced to
include among its appropriations one
for the construction of reservoirs. But
even with that committee there would
be little chance of securing anything
If a large sum should be asked for.
Modesty in their demands should be
the policy of the advocates of reser-
vcir appropriations at this stage of the
undertaking.
An appropriation for storage reser-
voirs may very properly be included
among those of the river and harbor
bill, for it would be a form of justice
to the arid states that help to provide
the money with which river and har-
Dor improvements are paid for, and the
~impounding of water in the arid re-
gion has some relation to the stage of
~navigable rivers. We do no profess
to believe that the floods in the Lower
Mississippi which come in the latter
part of the winter would be checked
by storing water in the Rocky noun
tains, but much of the Mississippi riv-
er water could be kept back in that
way, thus preventing overfiows in that
stream.
Mr.. Mondell and other advocates of
reservoir appropriations a work on
these lines with some hope of success,
because the argument appeals to the
good judgment as well as to the fair
ness OF the public. The first appro-
priations should be for the construc-
ton of reservoirs on sites already sur.
veyed and examined by competent ex-
perts of the government. Future sur
veys could then determine where other
reservoirs should be built.-Denver

The next legislative assembly will
