BIG ARIZONA RESERVOIR.
Scheme by Which it is Proposed to Bring
100000 Acres Under Cultivation.

One OF the largest reservoir sites
in the West is under the examina-
tion OF the United States Geological
Survey. The dam site is situated in
a narrow gorge, just below the JUNG
ton OF Salt river and Tonto creek,
Arizona. The capacity OF the pro
posed reservoir with dam 22o feet
in elevation, above the bed of the
river, is nearly 100000 acre feet, or
more than that of the great reservoir
now in construction on the Nile, OF
than any other artificial reservoir in
the world.
One of the serious obstacles met in
planning for the construction of this
great reservoir was the difficulty in
securing hydraulic cement at a cost
low enough to make the project II
nancially practical About 100000
barrels of cement will be needed,
which, owing TO the isolated location
OF the site and the long overland
haul, would reach the almost pro
hibitive rate OF So per barrel. For
tunately materials were found at
hand suitabl tor the manufacturing
of a high-grade cement, which will
save nearly million dollars in the
cost OF construction. Water power
will be developed on the spot, if the
dam is authorized, TO do the heavy
work OF building.
The proposed project will bring
under irrigation nearly 100000 acres
OF desert lands, besides furnishing a
reliable supply of water to large
area now irrigated by the precarious
flow OF the streams in their natural
state.

Bees Useful In the Orchard.

Fred NJ. Buck, of Vacaville, has 27o
hives of bees in his orchard, says
the Reporter, and makes good profit
from the honey, but the principal
profit comes from the polarization
OF his fruit blossoms.
Mr.. Buck finds that the bee crop is
an insurance of the cherry crop, He
says that the season OF 1901 gave
him the biggest crop OF cherries he
ever enjoyed, when his acreage was
only one-thir0 as large. He also says
he had at that time the largest num-
her of bee hives. He is positive that
the bees are underw riters OF his
cherry crop, and will not part with
them, because as he says, no bees, no
cherries; plenty of bees, plenty OF
cherries.

Asbestos Rising.

For some time the European ashes
tos was used as substitute for the
American article. But buyers are
now looking tor American asbestos
as it il OF a superior quality and
very much in demand. The price of
asbestos has consequently gone up
and il is quoted at about 5000 per ton
for the best American, nearly three
times as much as ii was bringing
last year.
Miners looking for asbestos should
seek for a greyish or green serpcn-
tine carrying particles OF iron. The
veins are from thickness Of a
thread to several inches. Veihs OF
two and a half inches and upward
containing no iron produce the very
best asbestos which brings the high

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.


All doctors have tried to cure cat
arrh by the use OF powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste
form. Their powders dry up the
mucous membranes, causing them TO
crack open and bleed. The powerful
acids used in the inhailers have en-
tirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed
to cure, while pastes and o1ntments
cannot reach the disease. An old and
experienced practitioner who has for
many years made close study and
specially OF the treatment OF catarrh,
has at last perfected treatment
which when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but perma-
nently cures catarrh, by removing
the cause, stopping the discharges,
and curing all Inflammation. 1t *
the only remedy known 10 science
that actually reaches the afflicted

The Future of Copper.

w. {. Berger, a Boston investor,
who went west last week, in discuss
ing the copper situation with Salt
Lake Herald representative said
The copper situation Is in a fair
way to improve. In my judgment
I7-cent copper was artihcially high,
and the subsequent reaction natural
ly carried the price back below the
normal. The demand for the red
metal is increasing more rapidly
than the production, and / look to see
the price scttla in a tew months
around. IS. cents.N Al

GROWTH OF SOCIALISM
Denounced as an Evil by
Archbishop Keane.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 5.-Archbishop
Keane. Of Dubuque. now in this city. has
expressed RS deep concern at the ap-
palIiBg growth Of socialism in this coun-
try I'm recent years. He says:
When I look about me. and note on
every hand the evidences Of the rapid
growth Of socialism, am appalled,. and
can scarce credit my own seses. II is
only a few years ago that il seemed TO
me there could never be room or occa-
sion on this free American soil where
men are equal before the law and where
opportunity seems boundless and limit
less. for the growth Of socialism.
And yet today socialism is growing
and growing rapidly, an evil extreme to
be avoided. with anarchy the other cx-
treme. Truth lies IN the middle. half way
between the state Of Iaissez faire' and
that Of public absolutism. and Il is there
we should seek the remedy"
