in the river so the water will run into it without artificial diversion.
 The head, however, will not be con structed till after some portion Of the canal has been huilt. Just below the granite hill big dry wash runs parai- Tel with the river, then west for long distance and it is proposed to utilize this as canal bed. A cut has been made from the river into the wash be- low the granite hill, the water turned in and big dredger is now engaged in turning the wash into an immense fP-- rigating canal.
 MT. Mcbride says the enterprise is huge one and will take million dollars to carry it out, but when it is finished, so far as he can now judge, it will be brilliant success. He says the manage ment expects to have water on to irrig- able land by January 1st. but if it don't get there for year later 1t will still be successful undertaking, and if the company can get the canal completed in five years it will have accomplished a herculean task. So far as he can judge, and he has had considerable ex- perience in this valley, the enterprise is one of the most feasible and prOmis- ing in the irrigation line that he knows of, only it will take lots of money to cap- ny it out.
 When the canal is completed and the headgate constructed, will fOll OW, as IS suggested by the name, the reclama- tiOn of an empire, or rather She devlOp- ment of one.

Rock Island to Survey Route Along
 the Gila.

Our towns1nan, MT. c. D. Henry, re- ceived letter Monday; from Chica-
 go railroad capitalist, stating that the
 writer and a member of the Chicago & Rock Island civil engineer corps would arrive here inside of a few weeks for the purpose of making reconnaissance. up the GiAa from Florence to Silver City, New Mexico, to ascertain wheth@ CT or not it would be feasible railroad route. The Chicago & Rock Island company has decided to extend their line into California and have already completed their survey as far as Silver City, New Mexico. If they find there are no serious engineering difficulties in the way, they will swing over onto the Gila river from Silver City and fol- low this stream on down to Florence and from here to Yuma, where they will cross the Colorado and extend on to San Diego. If they find this route impracticable-a result not probable they will then look for a route through Utah and Nevada. Being familiar with the country along the Gila we have no fear of the engineers report being ad- dicated would develop a wonderful duIOuItO UT eInilIC. Ao WOOiu PSboo II11 Oush the heart of the greatest mineral belt on the continent and some of the grand est agricultural country on the coast. After crossing the line into Arizona on the way it would not pass thro' scarcely a mile of waste country till it crossed the Colorado river into California. There would not be a better paying line of railroad in the west.-Arizona Blade

AN UNDEVELOPED EDEN.
Empire Land and Water Co.'s Big
 Enterprise.

The Phoenix Republican says: Messrs. John Mcbride, Earl Van Kirk, F.. w. Dorn and Henry Behrens have re- turned from an extensive trip in south ern California between SaltOn and the international line. The object of their trip was to make personal inspection of the lands proposed to be irrigated by the Empire Land and Water company s ditch now in course of construction, as we'll as the probability of their being able to furnish never failing supply. The gentlemen are prosperous Salt River valley farmers and while they have lost no faith in this valley i5 oc- cured to them that they might some day want more farms in another good country, so they combined business, pleasure and search for information and beginning at the can2l head followed the line of the proposed ditch its entire length.
 The canal heads about ten miles be- low Yuma and a short distance north of the line. The line goes southwest till it crosses the boundary, then west for long distance, then north again into California and into an area forty miles across it to SaltOn, nearly all of which is good irrigable land, or will be when the ditch is constructed. The canal when, finished will be siXty-one miles long and water an area of hund reds of thousands of acres.
 The first thing about a canal is it's water supply. In this instance it will be never failing CT at least not until the Colorado dries up. The next thing to be considered is the head. The head of the Empire ditch will becut through small granitebluff that faces the river, hence it can never wash out. No dam will be needed as the river makes turn ct this point and the canal head will be on the concave side of the turn

not only lends a beautiful effect to the
building, but gives an abundance OF light
In the corridor.
At the right OF the main corridor In the
new part Of the building is the grand
jury room, 2ix24. The room Is lighted by
four windows. There are entrances from
the main corridor, and from the county
attorneys room. The old grand jury
room has been divided into two rooms,
one for the witnesses and one for the
county attorney. The county attorneys
room is 14x17 feet. On one side Of it Is
the witness room, ON the other the grand
'ury room. By this arrangement the
county attorney may call a witness from
the witness room, consult with him In
his Office, and then present him to the
grand jury.
The former witness room on the right
of the main corridor has been made into
toilet room for women, for which there
was absolutely no provision in the old
building, aud which might be added to
the reasons given above as necessitsting
the improvements.
Across the corridor from the grand jury
apartments are the county clerks rooms.
The former office OF the clerk has been
transformed into a fire-proof file room.
1t is 14x17 feet, aud is as nearly fire. proof
