SAN CARLOS RESERVOIR. Encouraging Letter from Rev. I. T.
 Whitiemore. Systematic Work Which win Result in
 Building the Dam.

WASHINGTON, D. O., March 10.
 FRIEND REPPY: Yours of the 10th inst. awaited my return from New York city, where l had been in con sultation with gentlemen of influence in regard to the San Carlos dam. By so doing have received valuable in- formation which enables ns to work to advantage. Col. J. F. Wilson works on one line and we on another, and in due time our lines will converge and blend, and the entire appr opriation will be granted and the dam will be erected, but it will take time and patience and all opposing forces will be removed. We have man to en- gineer the whole matter who knows no defeat, and his past experience is a guaranty that the Indians and settlers will get the water needed and that the desert will blossom as the rose. 1 have unshaken faith in God and that man, and in the forces that they will rally to secure success. It is not necessary for me to state all the facts, or give names or state the plans now in projection, but may state that our Home Missionary Board wired Rev. c. II. Cook to come, and he is here ready to be interrogated in re- gard to his Indians, and give all the information necessary in regard to their need of water storage, ana his visit here will do much toward start ing an appropriation toward the erection of said dam.
 do not care to speak of the part I have played; will simply say that have done no more than my duty and may some day get more credit than is deserved; meanwhile let all the Set tiers in the Gila valley be assured that forces are being massed and put in mobilization looking to a series of battles for right aud justice that will egentuate in victory at last.
 As new and favorable circumstances arise will endeavor to inform you.
 Yours truly,
 I. T. WHITTEMoRE.

ARIzONA,s PROSPERITY.
The Mineral Showing a Most Flattering
 One.


 The Prospect, in review of Arizona's mining prosperity thinks the past year has been one of unparalleled activity in the mining industry of Arizona. From every source there comes ample testimony that every branch compos- ing this line has been clearly in the ascendancy. The development of our gold and copper fields has steadily pushed forward with una batting prom ise by the increasing production of these old and reliable properties that for years have been paying proposi- tions.
 It is not easy indeed to chronicle the numerous strides in Arizona's up- ward march in all that is material for her welfare, for to do this would make up a small volume in our mining his tory.
 Owing to tho peculiar demand for copper during the past year the metals of those gigantic industries have been especially in demand.
 No one will gainsay the truth that 9e have within our borders one of the greatest copper producers of the world.
 The Klondike and Cape Nome craze, which in measure drained the South west of many of her mining men and miners, has passed the stage of favored conditions, and many have returned to Arizona, where they iHd an Fl Dorado in mineral wealth, opportunity and climatic condition that the frigid land of the Northwest can never offer.
 The silver output of Arizona has naturally heen retarded by the present fall of silver, or the so-called legisla- tion against this metal, but it vii! be of intesest to our readers to know that the total production of silver in 1 Arizona for the past year was $3,00O,- 900 as against $2,500,000 of gold, and this was principally as by product. The steady rise in the price of silver has encouraged this interest to the ex- tent that preparations are being made for the operation of the old Tombstone silver mines besides others of less mag nitude.
 The new mines that have been dis covered, improved, sold and operated, the new machinery that has been brought into Arizona aud the old mines and machinery that have re- suned new life, have marked the year just ended as one unparalleled in Ari- zona, while this year augnrs greater results for 1900, and points to great est encouragement for mining inter- ests and larger opportunity for general progress.

Receiver Bowman, of the Tucson Land office, is well known throughout Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. He was one of two men who volun- teered to make hazardous trip into the Grand Canon of the Colorado sev- eral years ago to bring out the bodies of two men who were murdered by Mice, crazy Piute Indian, who went on the warpath and killed number of white men along the banks of the Colorado, until he was finally run down and killed by members of his own tribe. Bowman and his cnmpan- ious found the bodies they went after. Each lashed one of the eorpses to a raft, and with their dead freight they made perilous voyage down the turbulent river, over rapids and through treacherous whirlpools which often threatened to capsize their frail crafts and drown the occupants, or dash them to death on the rocks. Bat they at last reached the Needles in safety with their grewsome cargoes. The feat performed by Bowman and his brave comrade was much com mented upon by the press at the time. Fl Los Angeles Times.

It is told of a certain lazy man In Kansas City that in order to save him. self any inconvenience when he had his house remodeled he included an automatic bathtub. The tub was so arranged that he could lie in bed and upon pressing button the door opened and the tub glided in from the next room to the side of the bed, then all he had to do was to roll over into the tub and take his morning bath. The other day he was showing party of gentlemen friends over the house, when he came to his room and said :: "Let me show you my automatic bath tub" He pushed the button. There was a scream, and the tub came sailing into the room with his wife in it. She now takes her bath in the wash pan.- TEX.

If the new doctrine of the republi- can party is true, that the constitu- tion of the United States applies only to the states within the union, and that the inhabitants of our territories and colonies have absolutely no con stitutional rights except such as con gress may give them by statute, what is the logical consequence? The dis trict of Columbia is not in the United States. The city of Washington is in the District of Columbia. Hence the capital of the United States is not in the United States.-IAlbany Argus.

OUR old friend, General D. K. Ward well, well known as the Democratic
 wah-hoss of the Huachucas," was the other day forcibly busted from the position of postmaster at Fort Hua- chuca by one Charles Murray, who stood up the "Gineral" at the point of gun. Murray was held to answer be- fore U. s. Commissioner Emanuel in Tombstone Tuesday. We are sorry to note that the Huachucas are keeping up their old-time reputation.

A WICKED sinner recently gave utter ance in religious meeting to the re- markable statement that the anthor- ities who convicted him of crime were merely instruments in the hands of God for his conversion. If so, the Almighty went long ways around to save . poor specimen of human ity, if we are any judge. Such brazenness is calculated to do the cause of Christianity harm, and this great religious weekly cannot allow it to go unchecked. A certain amount of modesty would be much more com mendable in one who has had such monstrous sins washed out by the blood of the Lamb. If this isn't the way Jesus would run this paper we can't help 1t.

REV. snELDoN's paper, edited as he believed Christ would edit paper, did not contain a truer statement than that no man or company could honestly accumulate twenty million dollars in one year. He might have gone farther and asserted that no man could start with nothing and by strict y honest methods and Christian prin- ciples accumulate one million in life time, except at mining.

We desire to invite special attention
to the call for an Antitrust conven-
tion to be held in Chicago the 18th of
February. This call may be read in
full on our second page. 1t has the
endorsement of more than 300 names
appended thereto, and every one an
honest opponent to the trusts, and
though many were at one time mem
bers of the republican party, may now
be classed as active opponents, be-
cause of its active sympathy with sup
port and encouragemento of the trusts.
There are some half dozen or more of
the most noted public speakers in the
country who will thrill the thousands
attending with eloquence and wisdom.
The Congregational church was dedi-
Gated Sunday, Rev. Gates of Grinnell
college preaching the sermon, said to
have been a grand and mastery pro-
duction. The capacity of the church
is said to be 500, but it was entirely to
small to accommodate those who de-
sired to attend, large numbers being
compelled to return to their homes,
enough others to fill the Episcopal
church, attending the morning service
there. At the morning donations of
money and subscriptions were receiv-
ed in aid of the building fund, when
three Thousand dollars was either paid
or pledged. Several of the clergy who
were to participate in the services
were unable to be present. Rev. @. A.
Marshall of McGregor, who was to
preach in the afternoon was detained
/ in consequence of two funerals of
members of his church that day, and
Rev. Silke who was to preach in the
evening was sick at Riceville. The
afternoon service was conducted by
Rev. S. w. Head, and the evening
service by Rev. M. Willett. The
church has an excellent pipe organ at
which Misses Bernice Laidlaw, Council
man and Treat presided. At the after
noon service $3.50 were pledged and a
collection of some $40 taken, that at
the morning service S61 We under
stand that the money raised and pledg-
ed will free the church from debt.

Growing in Popularity.

The great paper, The Minneapolis
Times, has, we learn, secured for itself
the enormous special cable news serv-
ice of the New York Herald. The
Times seems to follow the idea that
no expense must be spared in the mat
ter of giving reliable news, and the
papers treatment of political ques-
tions has made it popular throughout
the whole northwest. a popularity
which is steadily growing and is de-
served.
