The figures of the last census show that the works required to irrigate 7,263,273 acres cost S64, : 289, 601, an average of S8.S5 per acre. At this rate the expendi- ture required to reclaim the area proposed would be at least S450, 900, 1000. After the government has performed it's part there will be no delay by the farmers in carrying on the work. While the initial expense is enormous, it is not comparable with the value of the crops which will be grown on the lands reclaimed. The total cost of all the irriga- tion works in use in the country is only three fourths the value of the crops produced each year on irrigated lands.

It Was Bob.

At Antietam, just after the artillery had been sharply en gagged, the Rockford Virginia, battery was standing awaiting orders. Gen. Lee rode by and stopped a moment. A dirty faced driver of about seventeen said to him: General, are you going to put us in again?"
 Think of such question from such a source addressed to the general of the army, especially when that generals name was Lee!
 "Yes, my boy" the stately officer kindly answered, "I have to put you in again. But what is your name? Your face seems familiar to me somehow"
 'I don't wonder you didn't know me, sir, I'm so dirty" laughed the lad, "but I'm Bob. :"
 It was the generals youngest son, whom he had thought safe at the Virginia military institute. Washington Post.

 This valuable Bulleton closes
 with the following interesting
 comparison:
 The Colorado river is in many
 respects remarkably similar to the historic Nile. Like the Nile, it rises in a distant, mountainous country; it's lower courses tra-
 verse a sub tropical and nearly rainless desert; and both rivers empty into great land-locked
 arms of the ocean at little less than 32 deg. north latitude. Like the Nile, the Colorado has, for long distances along it's lower courses, created a narrow ribbon of fertile soil in the midst of the desert through which it flows, and has deposited a great allu- vial delta between Yuma and the Gulf of California. This delta is chiefly Mexican Territory. Like the great river of Egypt, the Colorado is subject to an annual summer rise sufficient to over flow great areas of it's border and delta lands. These high waters are rich in fertilizing sediments, are exceptionally free from aka lion salts. and come at an oppor- tune time for irrigation. When the Colorado floods are less than normal, the Yuma Indians fail of crops, just as do the Egyptians with 8 low Nile.
 Although the climatic condi- tions in winter are slightly more in the Colorado delta than in that of the Nile, yet these two regions closely resemble each other agriculturally. Some com mon products are tor may bel al falfa, wheat and grains of the sorghum class; the date palm, fig, orange, olive and pomegran- ate; cotton, melons and sugar cane.
 When the Colorado is under stood and utilized as successfully as is it's greater and better known parallel, It will be recognized as the American Nile, the creator of new country for the irriga- tor, and mother of an Occidental l Egypt.

The Blaisdell Vat ExcaVator.

Mention has heretofore been
 made in these columns of a vat
 eXcavator, an invention of Mir
 H. w. Blaisdell of this city. The
 last number of the Pacific Coast
 Miner gives a full description
 together with an illustration of
 MT. Blaisdells invention, and it
 is evidently an important and
 valuable appliance in the eco nomlcal handling of ores or tail ings.
 It consists of rotary gangs of rolling coulters, which are so
 directed as to throw the pulp
 towards the center of the tank
 where the discharge door is To- cated. These blows are sup ported on steel truss frame and can be lowered to the bottom of the tank while they are working They are driven by gearing op- erated by an individual motor. Seven H. P. only is required. It is claimed that the cost of dis charging is only cent per ton, or under ordinary circumstances where sluicing by water under head is not possible, a saving of g cents per ton of ore or tail ings.
 Plants built on the Blaisdell system allow of double or even triple treatment of wet or dry pulp. With wet pulp the sands, after separation, are run into the first treatment tanks by means of revolving distributors. The tailings are then discharged through the center door by means of the excavator. They fall upon a line of travelling con- veyors which are so arranged as to move either forward or backward. These conveyors car ry them to the distributor, whinh fills the second tank. A third | treatment can be given in a sim liar manner. There are two lines of conveyors, one passing beneath and the other above the | lines of tanks. When the tail Ings have been treated sufficient Ly the conveyor takes them from the bottom of the tank and de- flyers them to the waste convey pr, which runs out on the tail ngs heap. The original tailings are brought from the heap by in the same manner hat they are eventually dis charged.

Danger of Colds and Grip.

Tine greatest danger from colds and grip is their resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Cham lain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for these dis eases we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonla, which shows conclu- sively that it is certain pre- ventive of that dangerous dis ease. It will cure a cold or an attack of the grip in less time than any other treatment. It is pleasant and safe to take. For sale at Ketcherside's drug store.

Cuartzsite Mining District.

Quartzsite, because of it's dis tance from Yuma and railroad communication, is but little heard of on the outside. It is, how ever, a thrifty and prosperous mining camp and promises fair to be, in time, one of the best in the Territory. There are pro- bably dozen small companies at work developing properties and putting them in shape for a more extensive handling at a la ter date. No great number of men are employed by any of them at this time, but the pro- cess of development goes steadi- ly on. The Detroit Queen Com pany has between 15 and 20 men in their employ, B. G. Smith 15 men, Success Copper Co. be- tween 10 and 15, the Valenzuela Gold Mining Co. 20 men, the Lead Camp Group , men, the Mortispaugh Co, 7 or 8 men, the Guadaloupe Go, 20 men, the Prosperity Go. i, o.

When one considers the fact that during the first year of the money order system, which was started in 1864, only a little over one million dollars was issued in domestic orders as set up against the s313, 900, ,OOO of the year just ended, some idea of it's growth may beimagined. Money order offices are springing up all over the country, 5000 of them having been added since July 1 last. This is due in a large part to the opening up of the west and to the greater free delivery facilities. In one week over S750,00O is paid in the Chi cagO office alone.
