The New Homestead Law.

ED. SENTINEL.
 Dear Sir
 There seems to be con siderable misapprehension as to the scope of an act of congress approved June 5, 1900, concern ing second homestead entries. If you will kindly publish thro' the columns of your valuable pa per I will herewith give the act in relation thereto;
 "SECTIoN 2. That any person who has heretofore made entry under the homestead laws and commuted same under provis- sions of Section 23O1 of the Re- vised Statutes of the United States and the amendments thereto, shall be entitled to the benefits of the homestead laws as though such former entry had not been made, except that com mutation under the provisions of Section 23O1 of the Revised Stat utes shall not be allowed of any entry made under this section of this act.
 "SEC. 8. That any person who, prior to the passage of this act, has made entry under the home stead laws, but from any cause has lost or forfeited the same, shall be entitled to the benefits of the homestead laws as though such former entry had not been made"
 Yours very sincerely,
 H. c. DAVIS.

LA FORTUNA MINING co.
One of Our Nearby industries.

One of Our Nearby industries.
 One of the best regulated and best paying pieces of mining property in Arizona is Ia For tuna, (the fortuna) which is locat- ed on a spur of the Gila range of mountains sixteen miles south of Blaisdell, a station fifteen miles east of Yuma, on $. P. railroad, with daily railway and stage connections. La Fortuna is not a sudden find of hidden wealth on the surface, like a Klondike or Cape Nome excitement, but gold ore averaging $20.00 per ton and free milling, which has been worked on an economical and paying basis for a number of years, turning out monthly gross amount of from $40, ,000 to $5O,0l0 from a twenty-stamp mill. The main shaft is down 990 feet and the ore improves as they go down. The water sup ply is pumped through pipes from Blaisdell. The cyanide plant is one of the largest and latest improved, which does the work thoroughly. The company employ one hundred men who receive the usual standard wages. Everything works satis- factorily and with handsome re- suits. Chas. D. Lane, the we'll known and enterprising mining operator of California and Cape Nome, is the principal owner and F. J. Martin, a practical and ex- perienced man, is superintendent, while Joe Golden, a capable and reliable man, is foreman. The results of this model mine be- speak of the good and economi- cal management.
 Since the advent of mining at La Fortuna, there has sprung up an orderly and we'll developed settlement of considerable size, containing many good and sub- stantial buildings that would re- fleet credit on any mining camp. One is a school house with list of 25 pupils, mostly Spanish speaking, but who are "catching on" to English very readily. The Y. M. c. A. building with a neat supply of books and papers. One general merchandise store, under the supervision of MT. John Doan with two or three other expert salesmen. A boarding house that sets up rattling good meal, and four saloons that supply the more ardent admirers o1 something stronger than water. They all report progress and seem contented with existing

The Phoenix Carnival.
J. F. WILSON.

The Phoenix carnival is a com bination of the highly original plans of the ones held in the past, namely, of the exhibition of the Indian and cowboy sports, industries, characteristics and pastimes, together with the new idea of a street fair. The Carni- val Association has gathered to- gether the best and most novel ideas from all sources. There will be a large number of booths occupied by merchants with their wares located along Wash ington street, the main street of the city, and these, together with the beautiful street decorations and thousands of incandescent colored lights, will form a pie ture of great splendor.
 The city of Phoenix, to aid the project in every way possible, has given the carnival associa- tion the use of the streets for booth building, parades, midway shows, etc.
 The decorations are in charge of MT. Frank B. Pratt, of San Francisco, well known through out the country as the leading decorator in his line.
 The street fair and in fact the general business of the carnival is under the direction of MT. L. w. Buckley, director and gener- al manager of nearly all of the street fairs and carnivaTs held for years on the Pacific coast.
 The director general of the carnival, is a very popular and we'll known young business man of Phoenix, with a large circle of friends and acquaintances. The carnival committee the pres ent year-Messrs. Hirschfeld, Clark, Goldberg, Luhrs, Nc Cowan, Benham and Price-are all with one exception the same as last-year's carnival executive committee.
 Cowboy Sports-on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
 Friday-Baby Coach parade, Ribbon parade, and the various beautiful features to be presented by the ladies.
 In the cowboy steer-tying con- test there are twenty entries and these and similar features are in charge of Jack Gibson and J. w. Benham.
 Mrs. Webster Street and her committee of ladies will have charge of the queens reception on Thursday night, which will be very brilliant affair, and on Friday night the official carnival ball will be the society event of the year in Phoenix.
