Ii is unfortunate that no resi- dent of Arizona can seek or hold a federal position without being traduccd or maligned by other aspirants, or envious members .of his party. In twenty y-two years residence hele we have
 not heard of a single applicant for or incumbent of federal
 who was not victim of this de-
 testable practice. The files at Washington are loaded to over
 flowing with afidavits charging Arizona office hollers with dis
 reputable and dishonest conduct.
 The greater number of these charges are baseless islanders, but the outside world is not aware of this truth, and points to them as evidence that We are not qualified for self-government.
 It is time to call a halt in this contemptible and hurtful habit. Florence Blade.

ARID LANDS BILL.

The Eill looking to national aid for irrigation has been agreed upon and will be introduced upon the reassembling of congress after the holidays. According tc the terms of the measure the settler on the lands will have to foot the biggest part of the cost of construction of the irTigating facilities after all. The bill pro- vides that the proceeds of sales of public lands shall be devoted to the reclamation of said lands, and increases the price per acre for the lands. All moneys re- ceived from the sale and dispO- sal of public lands in the arid land states shall te set aside as reclamation fund; that exami- nation and surveys of reservoir sites, for diversion of water and ] irrigation canals connected herewith shall be made; that the secretary of the interior may withdraw from public entry the lands proposed to be irrigated by them, and that upon the de- termination being reached that any irrigation project is practic- able contract shall be made for 1 it's cOnstrctiOn if the estimate of the engineer shows that the cost will not exceed $10 an acre Cn the land to be reclaimed.
 After construction the lands tC be irrigated are to be subject tc homestead entry in areas not ex- ceeding eighty acres upon the entryman's paying s an acre tc 1 the reclamatiOnfund. This fund is to be used for the operation and maintenance of reservoirs and irrigation works until pay ments for the land settled upon are made, when all the irrigation works except the reservoirs shall be turned over to settlers, who are required as body to coop
 crate to operate and maintain
 them.

THE FiG.

The fig is the most ancient fruit we cultivate. In many old countries the failure of this crop almost means famine and starva ton. Travellers in Asia Minor and southern Europe provide themselves with figs and olives as provisions for long journeys, and not only live but endnre and grow fat on the diet. The fig has more medicinal properties and more nutriment than any other fruit, except, possibly, the olive. High prices have pre- vented their general use in America. Smyrna exported 2l,- .60Q,O00 pounds of dried figs in 1889, and othercountries brought the grand total up to 10, GOO, ,O0J pounds, besides the large amount consumed at home. England, the United States and Germany secured the bulk of this export. In no country does the fig thrive better than in Southern Arizona. Trees six and seven years old will yield 200 pounds to the tree, which, at 6 cents per pound, the current price, is SIP per tree.
 Fig trees at from ten to twenty years old have frequently been known to yield from 800 to 1000 pounds of figs when dried.
 An orchard of figs is indeed
 "a bonanza.

Federal office holders must not tlke an active part in politics. This is an old civil service law
 which in some administrations
 has been more hoGCred in the
 breaking of it than iu it's observ-
 ance. But under this admins
 tration it will be strictly en-
 forced. Orders to that effect have already been sent cut by the heads of the various eSecu- tive departments. Since then, from here, there and everywhere
 throughout the country, one has heard of resignatiOns.
 Don't think for a moment, gentle reader, that the Federal office holders have been resign ing their jobs. Oh, no! Only the chairmanships and secretary, ships, etc, which they held upon state and county political com mitteeS.

The Uuited States mining laws of 1880 provide that: If per son or persons own group of claims, in common, the annual assessment work may be ecOnfiGed to one claim ol the group, pro- vided sufficient amount of work and Improvement is done on the one claim to amount to S1O0 for each claim in the group, and this is the wisest way to do annual assessment work. For instance, if you own ten adjoining claims, instead of sinking a ten-fcot shaft on each of them you sink an one hundred-f0Ot shaft on one of them, the latter would be worth more in proving the value of your property than would five hundred ten foot shafts. Under the old rulings the annual work could be consolidated only on claims adjoining and located on the same lead. But regulations printed and issued July 26, 1901, interpret the law as stated above. fla person or persons owning claim or claims desire to run a tunnel to develop the lode CT lodes, he or they can consolidate ] the annual assessment work in said tunnel and it will bod the claims inst as well as if the work had been done on the surface Ot the claims.
 Mill sites cannot be located or mineral land, therefore mill-sites are not mineral claims and not subject to the provisions of the mining law requiring annual ex- penditures on mining claims. They may, if nonmineral and lying contiguous to a mining claim, be patented as a part of
 mining claim, or if disconnected
 with mining claim and actually
 occupied as mill-sitas, may be patented separately,

An Important Enterprise.

The Irrigation, Land and I'm provement Company, of Yuma, is an important enterprise, and means much for the lower Colo rado river valley. as well as for Yuma City and the county gen erally. The company now owns and controls the various systems of irrigating canals and dltches south of Yuma, comprising more than seventy-five miles of canals and ditches, to which they are adding by extending the main canal and laterals. The cOmpa- ny will supply water for irriGat- ing 5000 acres during the com ing season, in addition to the area already under cultivation.
 The main canal is taken cut from the Colorado river three miles below Yuma city, and will supply much of the land Of the Algodones tract. It is the in tention. to enlarge and extend the main canal so as to supply all the land tributary thereto with water. It will be extended 1 into Sonora so as to reach the rich lands of the border state. It is the purpose of the company to furnish water to irrigate one million acres or more of land, and l this seems quite feasible.
 There is no section of the United States which offers such inducements for investments in land and water as the lower val ley of tbe Colorado. When water is supplied to these lands their value becomes fabulous, because the crops which can be produced are so numerous and valuable, as that section is an absolutely frostless region.
 The Irrigation, Land and I'm provement Company will prove an important enterprise for Yuma and Yuma county. The company is capitalized with one million shares of stock of the par value of one dollar each. It requires ten shares to secure an acre of water privilege; in other words, water rights are valued at &l0 per acre.
 The officers are: John F. Green, president, Harrington,
 Washington; Jacob E. Ludy, manager, Yuma; Will J. Green, secretary and treasurer, Yuma Tucson Star.

The cost of constructing the Nicaragua canal is estimated at about S200,000. .O00. It is believed that these figures are large enough to provide for every con tingency, but on works of tbis kind estimates are most gener- ally exceeded. The most that can-be hoped for is that scandals in connection with the project may be avoided, and that it may mt be attended by yeXatious de lays.

At last one was killed, and the other, on having his food broughtas usual, refused to eat, but turned his head around to look for his old friend, aud neighed as if to call him. All care was in vain. There were other horses near him, but he would not notice them; and he soon afterwards died, not having once tasted food after his former companion was Filled. Cur Dumb Animals.
