in summer, is drouth-resister, pros- pers best in the hottest places, and stands the frosts of this locality fairly well. The lawn of the future, however, is doubtless to be composed of native grasses. In the most in- teresting struggle for existence be- tween two or three score grasses and clovers on the University lawns, the natives are making au excellent show ing, being decisively conquered by Bermuda only,-but more of this, per- haps, another year.
 Where water is scarce or costly, or where home is abandoned during the hot summer season, a selection of drouth-resisters may be made which will beautify barren surroundings with minimum cost and care. The pepper tree, the Arizona ash, and the Bagote 1; the native Larrea or creosote bush, agaves and yuccas; native grapes and honeysuckles; native grasses, and pos sibly, also, Lippia repens for lawns, is selection which will go far in the reclamation of barren surroundings.
 But beware of the travelling agent who wishes to sell you an ornamental foreign tree that twill grow without water" The chances are against the purchaser and such selections can be made far more safely from native trees.
 A few more seeds of the Bagote may be obtained of the Experiment Station, and Dr. r. Franceschi of Santa Bar. bara. Cal, has Lippia repeus and other plants and vines suitable for southern Arizona. R. H. FORBES.

SiQnS and Ads.

Every person who has store, an office or other place of business, and who considers painted sign over his door necessary, can increase the num- Der of his patrons by newspapers ad- vertising. An immense proportion of the people look to the newspa pers for information as to where they can get what they want-a fact that should furnish business men with strong mo- tive for advertising. The successful merchant would as soon think of talk ing down his signs as of leaving out his ''ads," which is proof that they pay for themselves. From business point of view the only valid excuse for q failure to advertise is that which pre- vents an establishment from carrying
 adequate stock-a lack of capital Philadelphia Record.

Troy Copper Mines.
From the Silver Belt

From the Silver Belt.l
 Jos. B. Henry, who returned CD Sum- day from visit to Troy, gives most encouraging report of the progress made by the Troy Copper company in the development of their property, tine Troy group, which comprises twenty four claims. Aside from the re equired asse ssment, work has thus far been concentrated upon four claims, the ''91," Last Chance, Alice and Climax No. 2, with the result that bodies of good or e have. been encountered on each of them and they can no longer be classed as prospects. The main shaft was sunk on the 'sal" claim, in country rock, with the view of en- countering the ledge at considerable depth and opening it by crosscuts at the several intermediate levels. This shaft is now down 275. feet, and al- though the consideration of striking ore within that distance was not in- cluded in Supt. c. H. Cuttings calcu- latious, nevertheless half a dozen i'm 1 portant stratas, or feeders of high grade ore, from six to ten inches in width have been cut. The present intention is to. carry the shaft down to 300 feet and then crosscut the ledge. Ca the Last Chance claim. lying parallel and southeast of the "91, D body of high grade glance, going 20 per cent copper has been encountered at depth of 100 feet. Surveyor Pendleton left Globe yesterday for Troy, to locate tunnel site on the Last Chance, which tunnel is intended to intersect the ore body at the 200-foot level and to connect
 with the main shaft on the 's91'' claim
 a distance of 700 feet from the initia
 point This tunnel, it is calculated
 will intersect several lodges. On ths

The National irrigation Movement.
[From the Los Angeles Times.l

lfrom the Los Angeles I1mes.l
 The national irrigation movement has now advanced to stage where it is no longer question as to whether the Federal government shall under- take the irrigation of the arid lands which it owns, but as to the ways and meaus by which this desirable object may most satisfactorily be attained. As mentioned in a recent dispatch from Washington to The Times, Rep resentative Barham objects to the New lands bill for securing reclamation of the arid lands, because he believes that in it's present form California would be giving toward arid land re- clamation fund of S100 for every dol lar of benefit that she derives This bill, it will be remembered, creates an arid land reclamation fund, to be made up of receipts from the sales of public lands in certain arid and semi-arid States. It will, doubtless, be found possible to make some changes in the bill, so as to remove the objections brought forwad by Mr. Barham.
 The new president of the Nationa Irrigation Association, Thomas F Walsh, has issued circular letter ii which he states that he has consented to act as. president of the association because he is profoundly impressed with the far-reaching importance Q it's objects. In this letter Mir. Walsl says:
 "The problem is broadly national i it's scope and can be solved in no othe way than by the adoption of the na tional policy advocated by our associa tion. The public domain is the prol erty of the whole people and must r administered as trust for their ben, it, aud not another acre of it. shoul

Montezuma Hotel.
From the Nogales oasis.l


 Owing to failing health, Mir. Robert Williams has disposed of the Monte zuma hotel at Nogales to Mir. Louis J. F. Jaeger, ,of Yuma, and Tuesday even ing the transfer was made, Mir. Jaeger taking possession at midnight of that day.
 : Mir. Jaeger has leased of MT. Will Hams the property for period of five years, with an option to purchase for s35, ,000, gold, at the end of one year, and bought outright the furniture, fixtures and all appurtenances. MT. Jaeger comes to Nogales with an enViable reputation as hotel man, having been engaged in the business for many years, the past three years being in Yuma,. where he owns the Southern Pacific hotel. It is needless to say he will conduct the Montezuma in a strictly first class manner. Mr.. Jaeger has been identified with Arizona as rancher and in the hotel business and mining for many years, and it is worthy of note that his father arrived at the Colorado river, where Yuma now stands, in 1850. He. will make an agreeable addition to the business and social circles of the line city.
 MT. Williams will go to California in a couple of months. joining Mrs Williams who departed for the golder state Thursday morning..

LAWN PLANTS.

Bermuda grass, perhaps, heads the list as a summer-grower and drouth- resister. Its harsh texture, and the difficulty of killing it, however, do not make it many friends. Alfalfa makes a beautiful summer-green, stands pro- longed drouth when once established and will force it's roots deeply into hardpan soil, thus preparing them for subsequent planting, "Sour" clover (yellow sweet-clover, bitter melilot), fulflls the same purpose, but grows in winter. A very promising plant for lawns in this section in Lippia repens, near relative of heliotrope snd yer bena. This plant is rapid grower, mating closely to the ground, and spreading much like strawberry plant, striking root from the joints as it runs. It is evergreen, full of bloom
