district, for even below Yuma and around what may be called the delta of the stream, and down both shores of the gulf, mineral is found in every hill.
 Is it any wonder then that Yuma conceives it has future and is striv- ing to attain it? Of course the inter- national boundary is but few miles south of the town, and the mouth of the river belongs to Mexico. However, there is 10 chance for city below, and there will be no difficulty in ob- taining permission from our neighbor- ing republic to make such improve ments-in the channel as will be neees- sary to render it safe. There is a bad bar at its mouth, and twenty to thirty miles of shallows above this, but all the stream needs is. confinement. Be- tween Yuma and the Needles and for fifty miles above the latter point it is navigable at all times of the year. During flood seasons boats can do busi- 
 ness up to the mouth of the Virgin riv- CT. Yuma should become to the great mineral West, and especially it's central parts, including Arizona, Utah, western New Mexico and Colorado, southern Idaho Oregon and south eastern California, what Galveston and New Orleans are to the agricul- tural parts of the Mississippi, pro lection against the unreasonable trade demands of .he Atlantic and Pacific coast cities. It may seem like looking 8 long ways ahead to expect such g realization, but the affairs of the world move faster in these days than they
 used to.

A Discrimination in Favor of the Dogs Of
 Mesa.
From the Phoenix Republican.l

lFrom the Phoenix Republican,
 Judgment was rendered in district court yesterday for the defendant in the so-called famous Mesa dog license case. This matter came up first more than year ago, but did not reach d final decision. It was brought up again early last spring in an action against c. w. Wog, against whom judg- ment was given in justices court at Mesa, an appeal was taken to the district court So much local interest was taken in the case by reason of the similarity between the Mesa and the Phoenix ordinance re- garding the licensing of dogs that City Attorney Bullard assisted in the prosecution of the case in the justices court.
 The similarity, however, ends with the ordinances. Under the Mesa char ter, which provides for license tlx of no less amount than $l0, the corpora. tion plainly could not fix one of the amount of g. The Phoenix charter fixes no such limit.

An Arizona Seaport.
From the Denver Mining Reporter.l


 The people of Arizona are laying plans to secure for themselves sea port. Of course Yuma, on the Colo rado river, is the site. and all who have been there and are acquainted with the geography of the vicinity, will agree that the scheme can be carried through successfully iu some form. There may be better sites little further up the stream, but Yuma has the start and will win.
 From Yuma to the head of the Gulf of California, by the bends of the river, is a distance of nearly 100 miles. As the crow flies it is aboot sixty five miles. The altitude of the town above sea level is 40 feet, and the river there has width of about 890 feet. To the northward fifteen to twenty miles are the Chocolate mountains. runniug generally in an cast and west course, through which the river has cut its way. To the eastward is the Arizona desert, to the westward the California desert, to the southward the broad and beautiful river valley itself which has so many points of resem blance to , Lower Egypt, that the Colorado may not inaptly be called the American Nile. But, in calling the country around Yuma to the. north, east and west desert, it would be the greatest possible mistake to conclude that it was worthless. Ca the contrary, and as a matter of fact, wherever it has been so far possible to bring water upon any part of it, even a hundred miles back from the present channel, it has at once proven to be wonderfully rich Moreover, this arid region is dotted with small and isolated ranges O mountains that are full of precious and base metals. Some twenty mile
 north is the Picacho district. Les 1 than fifteen miles away to the west ward is the rich Hedges camp. T. the southeast about forty miles is L;

From the Tombstone Prospector.
 Cochise county can furnish the big gest mining deals in the territory if not in the west, and is conclusive evil denee of our contention that Cochise Is the banner mining county in the territory. As an instance it is cited that a mining deed filed for record in the recorders office this week involves a consideration of $l ,600,000 This is the property the Calumet & Arizona Co.,, acquired from the Lake Superior & Western Development Co. and known as the Costello group, adjoining the Copper Queen at Bisbee. The deed carries with it revenue stamps to the extent of $l600 A bond of the South Bisbee Co. properties in the same dis trict 10 Glasgow syndicate for g ,225,- GOO has just been ratified by the com pany. This company owns 60 claims and the bond extends to September lst. The Tombstone deal, involving the purchase and operating of the mines of this famous district, will foot over $2.- 000, ,000 and there are quite few other million dollar properties in this county.

 Lol are not these evils, and wherefore should they be visited on thy servant? Surely, he hath not sinned as other men sinneth. He hath not coveted his neighbours OK, nor his ass, nor his man servant, nor his maid-servant, for be it known unto thee that there are no maid servants here. He hath abided by the law and the prophets, but the profits have not abided by him!

But, think not, oh Elisha, that would rend my garment for this alone. Verify, say unto thee, an evil genius hath long pursued me. She has followed so close upon my foot steps that every thread and fiber of my shirt-tail are familiar to her eye. And if, in pursuit of me she should gaze upon this relic in the solitary fsstness of the mountain she wonld at once recognize it, and believing me to have been torn and destroyed oy wild beasts, she will retrace her steps, and thus I sball escape her.

An Officer Convicted of Murder.
LFrom the Lordsburg Liberal.l

From the Lordsburg Liberal.l
 The conviction of Jose Montes of murder in the second degree, for kill ing a man instead of arresting him, is a distinct warning to the many men of Grant county who have sought the of fees of constable and deputy sheriff, more for the privilege it conferred on them of carrying a sixshooter, than be cause they had desire to perform the duties of the office, that it has ceased to be good defense, when killing occurs, that an officer did it in self-de fense, while in discharge of his duty. The people of this county are tired of seeing a sixshooter on the hips of men, no matter whether these men are of fcers or not. The day, we hope, has come when an officer will not shoot 3 man because he has an excuse, instead of because il is necessary. Of course there are circumstances surrounding each ease, but in this instance the jury concluded that it was not necessary foI an able bodied officer to kill drunken man, simply because he pulled knife An officer is expected to take some chances. crack on the head is as ef fective in many cases, in subd uing { drunk, as is bullet through the heart and it leaves better impression oi the public. It is to be hoped that tn lesson in this instance, no matte what she ultimate result may be t Montez, will be heard and appreciates by the men who delight totoy with

DESTITUTE INDIANS. The Sgd Condition of the Pima Indians Due to Lack cfWater Supply.
IFrom National Irrigatlon fer May ,

lFrom National Irrigation for Mayl
 A recent Arizoua dispatch states that the Gila river on the Sacaton res ervation is again dry, and this being the source of irrigation no grain will be harvested by the Pima Indians. Great destitution, the dispatch states, will ensue, aud Cover nment aid will be required to relieve the situation.
 This was the proposition which Con- gress was asked to take up last session but refused. For centuries-as far back as we have any record--these In- dians had grown their irrigated crops, one of the few Indian tribes which had never cost the United States Govern ment moment of anxiety. Some years ago the white settlers began to divert the waters of the Gila river above the lands of the Pima Indians they were even encouraged to do so by the Government. There has not been enough water for both, and as the h. dians are not citizens, but only wards of the Government, their rights have been totally neglected, and for several years past, as more and more water has been taken out above, their crops have been practically an absolute fail. ure.
 Congress was asked at it's recent ses- sion to make some permanent provision whereby the Pimas could be restored their birthright-given back the water stolen from them-through the con- struction of storage reservoir along lines approved by Government experts, but DO action could be secured. So the Indians are going on retrograding being forced to become beggars thieves and Government paupers, wtere once they owned their own farms, reared turir own families, and had their own tribal government. Il is hoped by every one familiar with the subject that Congress will see the jus tice, wisdom, and absolute economy of making these Indians self-sustaining through substantial irrigation con struction.

The following gem should be pasted in every mau's hat as a reminder of his duty when he desires to speak ill of any woman. Remember this: "Be- ware how you speak of woman's character. Think how many years she has been building it. of the wounds received, of the tolls and privations endured and let no suspicious follow her actions. The purity of woman is the salvation of the race, the hope of of future greatness and the redemption of man. Wipe out her purity and man sinks beneath the wave of despair with not star to guide his life into a channel of safety. Think, then, before you speak, and remember that any hog can root up the fairest flower that ever grew. so the vilest can rnin the pures character"

A Mininq Curiosity,

In Chile recently the body of an In- dian miner was found 700 feet below the ground in winze, who had evi- dently been there several years or generations. He had been killed by a fall from the roof, while engaged in collecting stscaHite in a small basket, which was still in hand, his stone implements being found alongside. The body is in perfect state of pres ervation, evidently due to impregna- tion of the tissues by copper salts, as well as to the antiseptic action of the exceedingly dry climate.
 The body weighed over 500 pounds and when brought to the surface was as solid and as firm as piece of steel aud all efforts to sever the limbs O the body were fruitless. The features of the corpse were lifelike, while tn, entire body had bronzed hue.

 The transition from barren alkali wastes to scenes of rich vegetation and luxuriant growth, the result of irriga- tion, must have impressed the. Presi- dent and his party with not only the great productivity of irrigated land but with the significance of the word irrigation" to the western country.
 In viewing the fertile valleys of the southwest, rich from,the fruits of the orchards and the crops from the fields, and dotted with prosperous homes and thriving towns, where few years ago barren plains starved the cactus and the sage brush, did Mir. Mckinley realize that the reclamation of the arid West carries with it the creation of a great and populous empire within our own territory?

 The visit of President Mckinley to the Congress mine was brought about largely through the efforts of E. B. Gage, who was actueted by no other motive than to please the presidential party and give them some idea of the resources of Arizona. The original idea was to have the president visit the Grand Canyon and go on to California over the northern route. Tae presi- dent personally stated that he was en-
 toying his visit to Congress and that he was in no hurry to return. He staid there, from personal preference, as long as he could.-fPres .ott Courier.

Sup pose you should receive a salary of Sl0,000a year, and were able to save all of it, you would be compelled to work a hundred years to become a millionaire.

 bleth, dost thou ask me why? Is it not written that fortune falls upon fools? And for the sake of those smiles hath not thy servant been making a fool, yea, an ass of himself, in vain For three years and ten days he has so journed in this place. He has dived into the water; he has torn ancient rocks from their resting places, and re- moved them afar off he has likewise torn his brooches in parts not to be spoken of he has rooted into the mud like unto swine. His beard hath grown long the skin upon his hands and face hath changed it's color, until he is now likened unto wild beast {; and his garments are rent and soiled, SC that "sack-cloth and ashes" would be as fine linen and purple to him. He would fain feed upon husks, but there are none. Yea, he who in times past was wont to fare sumptuously, and to grumble over greater delicacies than were piled before Dives, now sniffs with gladness the fragrance of pork and beans. and gnashes his teeth i'm patiently at frying fap-jack.

 At the present date the impression seems to prevail that in the glorious days of '49," and the early days of mining, all that was necessary to accumulate wealth was to go into the mines and pick up the gold. In truth |, however, it was only the lucky ones who found it in any greater abundance than their daily necessities required 1; while the business, manufacturers, professions and salaries of later years give far better livings than the pion- eers enjoyed.
