With current wheels on the Colorado
river the valley of that great waterway
will soon be blooming as the rose. The
successful launching of an irrigation
enterprise on the Nevada side of the
Colorado river near Cottonwood Is.
land is but the entering wedge of many
similar enterprises. The wheel which
furnishes the water for irrigation pur-
poses is new thing and does the work
perfectly, and once in successful opera
ton there is no further expense. The
cnrrent of the river at the point where
the wheel was launched is about four
miles and the amount of water furn-
ished by it is simply phenomenal. AT
other points on the river there is a
more pid current and wheel of the
same caliber could be made to furnish
double the amount of water that this
one carries into the ditch. Along the
Mohave bottom, in this county there
are thousands of acres of land that
can be reclaimed by the water wheel
and we would advise intending settlers
in that valley to investigate the merits
of this mode of irrigation.

The thousands of old Tom bstoners
scattered over the world will be glad
to learn that E. b. Gage has consoli-
dated the Grand Central, Contention
and Toughnut interests, and will at
once reopen those wonderfully rich
mines on a grsnder scale than ever. 1t
is a mistake to suppose that the pro
duct Of Tombstone was exclusively
silver, as good value in gold is in all
the ore, while the ore bodies at and be-
low water level are immense. The Tri
bune man believes from long and
intimate acquaintance with the prop
critics, which have paid their tens of
millions in dividends, that Tombstone
will again resume its proud position as
the leading mining camp of Arizona -

Isn't it about time for another rehab-
ilitation of Fort WhippleG Regularly
once every three months there is sure
regarrisoning of that post under way.
There is no doubt about the utility of
the post from strategic point of view
and the people of Prescott and the
territory should use every endesvor to
have it again garrisoned by several
companies of troopers. 1t is one of
the healthiest places on the continent
and the government for this reason
should make use of il.

The little city of Yuma is DESTROYS of
steamship communication with the
Gulf of California and a new steamer
is about to be placed in commission
to ply between port Isabel and that
place. There is possibility that the
Colorado can be dredged through the
low country between Yuma and the
Gulf to admit of the entrance of ocean
going steamers, or ship canal can be
easily constructed along the eastern
bank of the Colorado to tide water.
The town has bright future before it,
even if no great waterway is con-
structed.

There will be high old times at the
next session of the district court as it
is now understood that there will be
an action brought against the board
of supervisors for malfeasance, or
something of the sort. The board,
manned by the chairman, will carry
the thing with high hand until stop
ped by the court, and when this is done
the people of the county will be much
relieved. Boards of supervisors, as a
usual thing, are composed of the weak
est men to be found in the county, but
this board is away below the average

of the faithful into the belief that he
is doing his duty.

The large eastern cities are taking
the same sanitary precautions as have
been in force for several years in the
cities of the Pacific coast against the
expectoration of sputa upon street car
floors and sidewalks. A few days ago
there we're $50 arrests made in the city
of New York for infraction of the city
ordinance against expectoration in
street cars. The habit of splitting on
sidewalks is filthy one at best and
every town and city in the world
should pass laws prescribing severe
penalty for non observance of this san.
itary measure. In California, where
the germ of consumption is rampant,
the anti-spitting ordinances were
passed as measures of self preservation
by the people, and now the eastern peo-
pie have awakened to the danger of the
promiscuous splitting on the sidewalks
and in public places and are guarding
against the spread of contagious dis.
eases in this manner.

Serious Conditions.

There are moments in every mans
life when he looks back with regret on
the things be has left undone; NOM
ents when he recalls with sad reflection
the past which has gone from him.
This does not apply to people of any
class or condition in life, and while it
is peculiarly, and mayhap, providen-
TALLY true, it applies most strenuously
to people who have attained eminence
in the political and financial walks of
life. This was brought home most for.
chilly few weeks since by the death of
New York millionaire. A man who
stood high in commercial and social
circles, who, when told the end was al
most at hand and that there was no
hope of his recovery, merely replied:
"Well, I'm not sorry, haven't had any
pleasure in life" What travesty on
the social condition of our country and
its institutions-a man in the flower of
his manhood. with all that is presumed

the age of 45, and having to make such
statement Better for him and the
world in which he moved had he re.
manned in a humble position in life,
where he would have had at least to
have met on an honest footing the real
men of the world and had to brush
against the real things of life, instead
of being the pet of society, who we're
it not for his money would have scorn-
ed to recognize bin. There are mill
ions among the toiling masses today
who enjoy life and 6nd it worth the
living, who perhaps in their hearts at
times envy the monied class, to whom
the moral of this mans death will be
worth more than his millions, and
which, if they will but apply 1t, will ex.
plain the only possible reason he ever
bad for living as long as he did.-Ga-

The mineral wealth of Arizona is
proving great aid to agriculture, as
the wealth acquired from the mines is
going TO a great degree into irrigation
and other enterprises that conduce to
the benefit Of the agriculturist. With
the opening up of the mines the agri'
culturist is securing new markets for
his produce and getting better prices
than could be obtained by shipping to
markets on the outside.

The old Maine copper mines are be-
ing opened up and the Atlantic sea-
board may soon become copper pro-
ducing again. The mines have been
shut down for years on account of
the great cost of working and the fail.
ure to successfully smelt the ores.
Improved methods of copper smelling
give the ores of the old camps an ad-
ded value.

Prominent POLITICIAN DEAD
T. II. Walsh, Chief of the Pension
Bureau File Department, Ex-
pires Suddenly.

Last evening Daniel j. Walsh, sporting
editor of the Inter Mountain. received a
despatch from his home in Washington,
D. c., telling of the death of his father,
T. H. Walsh, one of the we'll known resi-
dents of the capital city. Mr.. Walsh had
no intimation of his fathers Illness until
the sad message came. He had parted
from his father two months ago to come
to Butte and at that time there was no
sign of i'll health apparent in the bear
ing Of the sturdy but venerable old
gentleman.
Since coming to Butte Mr.. Walsh has
won the esteem of the newspaper men of
/ this city and many new found friends
sorrow with him today as sincerely as
if their acquaintance had covered a life
! time. Sincere expressions of sympathy
from his fellow members of the news
Paper craft have served to tighten the
blow that SO suddenly interrupted the
labors of the popular young man.
| T. H. Walsh was one of the best known
politicians in Washington. He held for
years the position of chief Of the file de-
partment of the pension bureau, and
there are many prominent men, both
east and west who will regret to learn
of his sudden death. He was just turn
ing into the last decade of the allotted
span of life-he was finishing his seth
year. The telegram received last evening
leave no details of the sudden illness
| that had cut short the career of the
venerable man.

The Wonders of Butte,

Quoting from the official returns, the
Boston News Bureau has the following:
The Butte district produced of the
totals of last year the following:
Quality. Value.
Copper, pound .... .245. 7S3, SOL S39 792, 356
Silver, ounces, coin
age value 49,. 49,. 9,454,279 12223.71 IA
Gold, fine ounces =. 54,552 1.127,692
The district shows a decrease of ST.
O9O.135 in copper, $5l9,179 in silver. and
$l54,754 in god. The decrease in Butte
is due to decrease in the price of
copper and to the litigation and injunc-
tons by which the product has been cur
tailed
1t will be noted from the above that
Butte produces nearly one-half of the
total copper product Of the United
States, the total output last year being
500, 000, 900 lbs Were it not for the litiga-
ton which closed down several large

Census Nonsense.

The morning papers publish the fol-
lowing Associated Press dispatch:
Washington, July ga preliminary
statement of the census office showing
the condition of the manufacturing in
dustries for the state of Montana was
given out today. The statement includes
the extensive lead and copper smelters
and shows a total value of products
amounting to $56,992,11
There are 1887 establishments with a
capital of $40, SOC, OS1, and 1O,1O1 wage
earners.
The total wages paid were $S,95S, $50.
The value of the products of the smelt-
ers included in the above was Sal, 651. 316
There are three lead and seven copper
smelters in the state. The aggregate
capacity is $685. ass; wage earners
4,452, and wages paid, s4,1S9.754.
1t would be difficult to crowd more
misinformation into three paragra phs
than is contained in the above. If those
figures represent the average quality OF
census work, the census is an outrageous
farce land actually detrimental to tbs
interests of the several states. One par.
agraph says there are 10000 wage earn
ers in the LOST establishments of thu
state-a ridiculous under estimate. TIT
| total wages paid are given as So, 95S, 800
yet there is single enterprise in tn
state which alone pays fully twice tina
much. The dispatch speaks Of the Gag
gregate capacity of the smelters a
$29,6S2, ASS. The capacity of a smelte
| is not represented in dollars, but ton:
so that the item given above is mean
ingless. The wage earners in the smelt
ers are given as 4.45s, which is much to
low; and the wages paid as $4,1s9,754
which is not the truth.
The census department may imagin
itself very useful feature of the publ
service, but its information about Mon
tana is egregiously false.
