SPONGE CROP OF THE GULF.
Government Will Take Measures to Develop the Industry
 ln Florida

The study of the sponge fields of Florida is to be undertaken by the government with view to developing an important industry. Florida is the only part of the United States pro- ducing sponges of commercial value, says a Washington report. There are BIO vessels with more than 2,oO0 men employed in the industry, and 1t is estimated that the 190O-le01 crop will have commercial value of ss50,00 Sponges are found on the eastern and western coasts, but are more abun- dant on the western coast, owing to the equable temperature and moder- ate depth of the water and the ab- sence of fierce hurricanes.
 The sponge grounds of the Gulf of Mexico extend from the Florida reefs to St. Marks and for distance of Is miles from shore. The best sponges in color, texture and size are indig- enous to deep water, and as these command the highest prices in all markets the sponging vessels ire quently work for days together out of sight of land There would seem to be no reason why hourishing industry should not be built up. The government has been so successful in the various efforts it has made of this character that much is to be expected of its contemplated work.

HOUSE MEMORIAL NO. 4.
To the Senate and House of Representa- lives of the United States in Con-
 oress Assembled.

We, your Memorialists, the Nine teenth Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, respectfully rep resent that the National Irrigation Congress, held in Phoenix, Arizona, on the 11th of December, A. D. 1896, unan- imously adopted the following:
 Whereas, The Pima and Maricopa Indians. tribes numbering in the aggregate ten thousand souls. have been deprived of the waters used by them in irrigation before the advent of the white race in America. through the appropriation of such waters by settlers on the headwaters of the Gila river; and
 Whereas. Through the loss of such waters the lands once cultivated by these tribes have become barren and worthless. and the members of such tribes have become a charge on the Government. and forced by the loss of their fields into lives of degrada- tion and penury; and
 Whereas, Such tribes have from the ear Hest days been the friends and allies of the white race; and
 Whereas, The people of the United States have pledged themselves by solemn treaty to protect such tribes in their property and property rights; and
 Whereas, The Government of the United States has and now is engaged in the ex penditure of hundreds of thousands of dol lars for the construction of works of irriga- ton for the reclamation of lands belonging to other Indian tribes; therefore. be 1t
 Resolved. That this Congress do approve the proposed construction. under the plans of the U. S. Geological Survey. of the Buttes reservoir. in Pinal county. Arizona. recently reported. to again reclaim the lands of these tribes. believing that by so doing can the Government alone honorably redeem the broken pledges made by it to these people. and thus preserve from further want and degradation two of the surviving Indian tribes of the American continent that have always been the constant friends of the white race.
 Resolved. That We approve the proposed constructicn of sudh reservoir not only as just and pl& anthropic. but as economical and good po1cy. as in comparatively short time the expense of rpaintaining such In- dians as Government charges will far exceed the cost of the irrigation works required to

make them n self-supporting and self-re- specting ccnmunity.
 New, therefore, your Memorialists, the Nineteenth Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, desire to go on record as earnestly endorsing the above recommendations of the Sixth National Irrigation Congress for the following reasons:
 1. The reservoir site referred to having been withdrawn iron entry by Government authorities, cannot now be utilized by any private corporation, and the Government therefore occupies the indefensible position of doing noth- ing itself or allowing any one else to improve this great natural reservoir site.
 2. We firmly believe that the inter ests of humanity dictate that the h. dians should be gathered on the reser- vations, have lands allotted to them in severalty, and that they be furnished with farming implements and an inex- hanstible supply of water for irrigation of their lands, to the end that they may become self supporting. By this means will home life be furnished for the Indian and he will more rapidly advance in civilization as a conse. quence. He will abandon his nomadi, life; his children will be kept at home and educated in neighborhood schools instead of being sent to large Indian schools at distance where they are kept Gas it would seeml for mere purposes of show. After being in strncted in the arts of civilization for { time they are returned to savagery, to become more unhappy and discon' tented than if they had never received the questionable advantages. We fee that the present policy of the Indias department is all wrong in this regard
 5. The Pima and Maricopa Indial reservation contains $50 GOO acres of a. fertile land as lies within the bound aries of Arizona, and is admirxbl adapted for homes for these people, n. well as the wandering Papagoes, wh are now compelled to prey upon tn herds of our farmers and ranchmen fo subsistence.
 4. The construction of a storag reservoir at the Buttes by tbe Govern ment offers plain business proposi tion for the correction of these evils
 Resolved, that the Secretary of tn
 Territory be instructed to transmit copy of the foregoing Memorial to ou 3 Delegate and Delegate-elect in Cor f gress, and also copy each to tn President of the Senate and Speake ' of the House of Representatives.

PRICES OF LAND.

Improved lands. with government title and water right. can be bought for from $20 to $50 per acre, according to location and i'm provements. In the immediate neighbor- hood and to the south of the Casa Grande ruins there are thousands of acres covered with heavy growth of mesquite timber yet open to settlement. These are among the choicest in the valley. Water in inexhaustI- ble quantity is found at a depth of from twenty to thirty feet; in fact, river seems to be flowing underneath. Here is q splen- did opportunity to take up and improve land with pumping system of irrigation. which is said to be successful on small tracts.
 However. with the completion of the San Carlos reservoir. pumping will be thing of the past. and 1t is only mentioned here for the purpose of showing what can be done and to magnify the further fact that what was once considered

Pinal county was organized in 1875 from rtious of Pima, Maricopa and Yavapai ,unties, and contains an area of {, ,s6e square lies. or siSa. .520 acres, onc-third of which ,uld be made productive by systematic orage of the surplus water now running , waste. Next to Maricopa it is the most nportant agricultural county in the Terri ,ry.

The objective pint of this road Is connection with the onora road. of the same system. The Duthern Pacific Is also building in this irectionFram m Tempe, and it is confidently elieved that work will not cease until the eer Creek coal fields are reached and con ection is made with another branch of mt road running from Bowie 50 Globe and ow completed to Fort Thomas.

AN uxrxHABrrABLz DESERT

Is in truth the most productive land on the globe, and that there is water in abundance to bring every foot of 1t under cultivation, only waiting for the magic wand of capital to develop it. There is no water-storage scheme on the Pacific coast that has one half the natural advantages and so few en- gineering difficulties as the San Carlos reser- voir. Here nature has built the abutments in eyer-living rock. and all that is left for man to do is to put in the headgate, the bluffs which form the gorge being only separated bz paltry 22o feet. A country Is drained through this narrow canyon 200 miles square. representing l0.00O square miles. or larger than Maine and Massachu- setts combined. The rainfall is sufficient to All the reservoir twice a year. and the land to be brought under cultivation is practi- cally limitless. This may read like O fairy tale. but is is every word true. and has been

The grape does exceptionally well in this 'alley, and wine and raisin culture is destin- d to become prominent industry. Citrus 'ruits have been cultivated to limited ex- ent; there are number of orange trees n tho neighborhood of Florence which bear heir golden fruit each year without pro- .ecticn. and few date palm trees are also n full bearing. The season is from six weeks to two months earlier than Southern California. which gives fruit growers an appreciated advantage in.
