CATTLE AND SETTLERS.

One farmer with ten acres of irrigated ground and a hundred head of cattle, living, himself and family, month in and month out upon the land he cultivates, is worth more to the community, worth more to the state, worth more to the railroads, and, in fact, worth more to the general government, than the owner of the biggest cattle ranch from British Columbia to the Rio Grande. He does not ask some thing for nothing.
 According to recent bulletin of the geological survey, the open range of the arid region is capable of supporting one COW to every twenty acres. The same land, when watered and put in alfalfa, will frequently feed ten COWS to every twenty acres, or in orchards at favor able attitudes will support a family of three or even five per sons.
 The open range may have a value of 50 cents an acre, while under irrigation the selling price may jump to $50 an acre, and if in orchards to $500 an acre. The values of the lands are directly reversed, the grazing land hay ing the greatest extent and the least value, and the irrigated land the least extent and the greatest value.

ARIZONA SUNSHINE.

To one who has been there, says Caspar W. Hodgson in SUN SET MAGAZINE for May, the name Arizona, first of all, suggests sunshe and plenty of it. Nowhere on the globe is sunshine so abun- dant, more appreciated or more harmless. Indeed a sunstroke has never been recorded in this territory. Though all good Ari- zonians have crossed the Hassa yampa river, which act, accord ing to tradition, divests one of the power to tell the truth, 1 be- lieve their records are accurate as to sunstroke. The eXplana- tion is found in the fact that heat is not so much a matter of ther- mometer as of humidity.
 The dry, hot air of the Arizona desert is invigorating to the in itiated. One can learn to love the desert. There the sunriseS and sunsets are intensely beauti- ful and nowhere on earth richer in color. This is sometimes called Sunset Land; it might also be called Land of Sunrise.

rapidly ahead with the great work of making the preliminary surveys, plans and estimates of the cost for construction.
 Within two years the work of construction can begin.
 Then the money to build will be wanted.
 It will cost at least twenty five million dollars, but the reclaimed land will be worth twice that and will repay to the government every dollar of it's investment in ten years.
 And it will need will buta tenn porary advance from the national treasury.
 This can be had but it will take work to get it.
 The business men of Los An geles are organizing for that work.
 They realize what 1t will mean for Los Angeles. It will make her within ten years the largest city on the Pacific coast.
 The teeming millions who will people the rich inland region of tho southwest will seek the cool ing breezes of Los Angeles in the hot summer months, they will satisfy their wants through her channels of trade and pass through her gateway for their share of Pacific ocean commerce. Saturday Post.

S20 an acre is @ matter which need in nowise interfere with the prosecution of the irrigation con- structions under the national ir- rigation law as passed by con- gress last summer. In every case the cost of putting water upon the land is to be borne by the settler and the farmer who lives upon the land and will use the water. The government will be repaid for every dollar ex- pended. The question then is simply whether land with water upon it will be taken by the set tiers at ten dollars or fifteen dol lars an acre or any other sum which it may cost to reclaim it.. When it is realized that irrigated farms or orchards in the west are worth from four to one hun dred times fifteen dollars an acre, and that the crudest irrigation farms produce annually more than $15 an acre, it is not be- | lieved that there will be any dearth of applicants ready and eager to go upon the land which the government reclaims. Under the irrigation act payment can be made upon exceedingly easy terms-ten equal annual install ments.

Wonderful Growth of Imperial


 Everybody in this section is more or less familiar with the rapid development of the Impe- rial coun4ry within the past two years, or since the advent of the Imperial canal, but probably only a few know of the actual changes that have result ed there from the benign infu- ences of irrigation. The follow ing from the Imperial Press tells a story more remarkable than the strangest creations of ic- tion.
 Imperial, Lut two years from an uninhabited desert, now has fourth place in school population in San Diego county, having I4O children. San Diego has 3,624, Escondido 385 and Coronado219. The neighboring district of Sils- bee comes next to Imperial, with 100 children, and Calexlco, prob ably with fully as many more children, unreported as yet, and Brawley on the north having 38, and Eastside being unreported, The Imperial settlements, there fore, at two years of age have more children than any school district in the county, with the exception of San Diego. At the rate Imperial is growing it should take second place next wear"

We are living in an age of mighty achievement.
 Engineering works which the last generation would have thought an impossibility, will be the completed tasks of this gen eratiOn.
 The New York subway, the great tunnel of the Pennsylvania railroad, the Isthmian canal and the Salt River reservoir in Ari- zona, will soon stand as com pleted monuments to the con- structive genius of our people,
 And the future is potent with still grander undertakings which will in a few brief years stand as accomplished facts.
 Egypt was for centuries the granary of the world. That land of mystery and romance was the cradle of our civilization. For countless ages the Nile has risen annually to fertilize the lands which have yielded from year to year the sustenance of teeming millions. In a few short years the people of Southern Califor- nia have created a new Garden of Eden in the most favored spot of the earth. And distant from it less than twelve hours travel by rail is a second valley of the Nile, destined to become as pro- life and as populous as the land of the Pharaohs. The creation of it is the next task to which the people of Southern Califor- mia should set their hand with the same resolute determination that has lifted the beauties of Southern California out of the dead sands of the desert.
 Along the Colorado river be- tween the mouth of the Grand Canyon and the Gulf of Califor- nia lies an area of land greater than the entire irrigated area of Egypt, and it can be reclaimed by the waters that now run to waste.
 It is land as fertile as the rich est soil of the Nile valley. The rise of the Colorado comes each year as regularly as that of the Nile. It carries the same rich sediment which will for all time replenish the land and prevent it from losing it's fertility. The floods of the Colorado come just at the time of year when the waters are most needed for irri- gation. It is country peculiarly adapted to intensive farming, a place where the small farm we'll titled and not the great ranch must prevail.
 In the development of this re- zion all the influences that make for close settlement and a dense population must control and it. is safe estimate that this great valley of the American Nile in the not far distant future will contain more human souls than now inhabit the entire state of California.
 The land is there!
 The water is there!
 The multitude needed for its settlement are ready to swarm from their eastern hive!
 The national government has its surveyors in the field pushing

Placer gold, whether in grains of microscopic size orin nuggets worth many thousands of dollars, are all due to common cause everywhere. Placer gold is de- rived directly from gold bearing veins and deposits, which have been disintegrated either by weathering or ground off by ice. Once freed from its matrix, the gold is subjected to abrasion, and the farther it travels from it's original position in the vein, the more likely it is to be smooth and have the sharp edges worn off. A particle, great or small, never increases in size by unit ing with other pieces. The gold of placers is compact, and any tendency to build up larger mass by combining with other pieces is not present in gold of that character. To make this possible gold must be pure and in spongy condition, like den tai gold, which is especially pre- pared for this purpose. tis not necessary, however, that mug get of gold should travel a long distance to become rounded. It may lodge in some secure posi- tion on bedrock, and in flood time the passage of the debris in the stream over the mass of gold soon causes the sharp edges and angles to be worn away, produc- ing a rounded surface.-Mining 6 Scientific Press.
