WATERING OF
YUMA VALLEY
1t Is Quite Certain That 100000
Acres VIII Be Irrigated.

Governor Brodic and Territorial
Auditor Nichols returned yesterday
morning from visit TO Yuma. They
made an inspection Of the territor ial
prison and attended a meeting OF the
farmers OF the valley for the purpose
Of taking some action or Of moving
the government 20 action in the mat
ter OF building canals for the irriga-
tion Of the whole valley.
A. a matter Of fact the government
i. already moving in that direction
and FOR year or more Mes7r-. Lippin-
colt and Perkins Of the geological
survey have been at work along the
Colorado getting data and studying the
topography OF the country.
~ has already been mentioned Mr..
Perkins on the part OF the government
has filed notice Of the appropriation Of
water from the Colorado. The inyes-
LEGATIONS of the survey have extended
from Needles to the mouth OF the
river.
Mr. Perkins was present at the
meeting and he described the character
Of the work hat had already been
done. He said it had been ascertained
that between the Needles and th c
mouth Of the river 600, 900 acres may
he brought under cultivation. The
feature OF the work in which the
farmers Of the Yuma valley are more
directly Interested is the irrigation OF
that part Of the valley by the canal to
be taken out Of the river at Cocopah
Point twenty-five and One-half miles
above Yuma; that is the one concern
ing which notice Of the appropriation
81 water has been filed. That is cal
culatcd TO irrIgatc 10000 acres.
There will have to be still made in
ycstigation "a to the depth OF bedrock
at the proposed point Of diversion.
When all the information has been
gathered togethcred it will be sub
mittcd TO the department. The mat
ter is therefore in much the same

The Gold Road mines are showing
themselves to be the greatest gold
producing properties in the territory
OF Arizona. Since the starting up Of
the mill every week has seen an in
crease in the bullion output of the
property until at present its produc
tiOn is phenomenal. Last Sunday there
was shipped from the mill two bars Of
bullion, valued at Sl0,O 900 and on We'd
nesday two more bars valued at Sl2,
900 We're sent to the Office Of the COM
pany in Los Angeles, making total
OF So 900 inside of three days, the
product of six days run of the tanks.
Better ore is now being sent to the
mill from the slopes and it is predicted
that the production for August will be
far in excess OF that of July. At the
present rate of production the mi ne
may be depended on for more than
100000 monthly. The people at the
head of the concern are men with
thorough knowledge OF mining and
milling and they have been sanguine
of attaining big success in the hand
ling of the property. AT present
there is not a share of stock on the
market and none can be had, although
recently its market price was far
above par. The company Is making
an effort to get Il supply Of water adj
equatc to the demands and as soon as
this has been accomplished the output
OF the mill will be largely increased.
So far the mill has not been run to its
full capacity.

Not Man Wanted.

VIII Cravans who was arrested last
week at Arivaipa. Graham county, by
Ranger Captain Ryuning and Ranger
FELTON, for a murder committed twelve
years ago in Texas now proves to ~
the wrong man.
The story OF the arrest was printed
in local papers when Captain Ryuuiug
arrived in the city. II was to the
effect that Craveus had killed man
and his little son in cold blood.
1t was stated at the time that GRAY
ems was not the right name OF the
man arrested. 1t now develops that
his correct name i Il. L. Mckinney.
He was lodged in the county Jail at
Solomonvlle, where he was kept until
officers from Texas arrived.
The Texas people could not Identify
Mckinney a the man wanted aud he
was accordingly released.
At the time OF his arrest Mckinney
protested his Innocence so strongly
that Ranger FELTON, promised that il
he was not identified and taken TO
Texas. that he would send him back
to Arivaipa at his own expense. Ac-
cordingly Mckinney started back to
Arivaipa mounted on one OF the
rangers horses and accompanied by
Mr.. FELTON,.
Mckinney is very indignant over
the affair and declares that he will
engage an attorney and prosecute the
rangers for false imprisonmeut.-Bis-
bee Miner.
