UsDouBrEDLY the first work In irrigation which the government should undertake is the construction of dam on the Gila River at San Carlos in Arizona. because this im- proyement would not only bring under cul- tivatlon a large area of arid land for the use of white settlers, but would also relieve the urgent needs of thousands of friendly Indians, who are now in starving condi- tion because the water upon which they have been dependent for centuries has been diverted by white settlers above them. This improvement would be not only Q strik- ing object lesson of the advantage of irriga- tion on large scale. but also an act of rerey and justice.-lLos Angeles Times Editorial. Feb. F, 1901.

Mining over the Border.
From Modern Mexico.


 It isa mistake for American investors 10 believe that good mining proper ties are going a-begging in Mexico. There are good mines to be secured here if they are sought in the proper manner, and there is also capital hsre on the ground, both local and foreign. ready for investment in Legitimate enterprises. It ia safe tn assume thai few properties worthy of consideration ever reach the stage that they are handled by cdro.tone brokers and the class of promoters who frequen. the tourist hotels. large percentage of the American capital that is now com ing into Mexico is being invested in mines. It does not, as a rule, make as much noise as in some other lines, bu. 1t is finding attractive inducements nevertheless. The application of mod ern machinery to many old Spanish properties that were abandoned when AuSlEdb duG ptinltlfo mctHDUS eH- countered too great depth or uneon- troilable water IS giving results in many instances that must make the old hidalgos turn in their graves
 Commenting on the above the Mining ! Reporter says: Those who know any thing Of the conditions iu old Mexico will agree with every word of the fore going quotation. It has been favor ite form of swindle during the last two or three years to float wildcat Mexican mining schemes. Needless to say, much injury has been done to the mia
 ing industry at large. Some splendid 1 properties have beea opened up ia Mexico, and us usual the unscrupulous i promoter has been making the best oi the opportunity. Sogreat has the evi
 become that the Mexican authorities are bestirring themselves to make
 matters interesting to the bogus mining

EASTERN mining journals are mak- ing 1t decidedly warm for the Vulture Gold company, of Arizona. Experts Van Rosenburg, Hill and Beatty, who claim to have made a thorough ex- animation of the property, pronounce it q gigantic fake and have so re- ported to the Colorado Springs Mining Exchange. Here in Arizona the im. 2ression is quite general that the old mine was worked out years ago, though there may benew ground in the vicinity that is valuable.

 THE solution of the water problem is of far greater importance to Arizona than statehood. With the water ques- tion settled for all time on the lines suggested by President Roosevelt in his message to Congress, and with a judiciary that will construe the water laws in the interest of the people in- stead of the corporations, nothing can prevent our fair territory from making such rapid strides in wealth and popu- lation in the next two years as will command admission to the sisterhood of States. And then we will be much better fitted for it.
