A High Compliment.

The Sentinel last week print ed an extract from the Des Moines Register and Leader re ferring to Hon. c. F. Reavis and others who were to address the Grant club in that city. In 8 later issue the same paper has the following highly compliment. ary notice of MT. Reavis'S ad- dress:
 During the seventeen years of its existence the Grant club has entertained many distin- guished orators, among them being William Mckinley, Sena- tor Albert Eeveridge, Henry Els terbrook of New York, Col. Fred Grant and others; but never in its history has it listened to elo- quence and pathos to equal the speech of c. F. Reavis of Ne braska, as he pictured the last days of the great commander in his address last night"

WELCOME, KNIGHTS.

For the first time m the towns history Yuma is in gala attire in honor of a territorial gathering, the occasion being the meeting of the grand lodge of Knights of Pythias of Arizona. The bright colors of the order are in evi- dence everywhere and the wei coming hand is extended to ev- cry visiting Knight.
 There are many noble frater- nal orders, but none whose pre- ceptS are greater or nObler or whose membership is of a higher standard than that of the order of Knights of Pythias. We are pleased to know that the order is very prosperous, not only To- cally but throughout it's entire domain. It has a total member ship of nearly 600,000. In Ari- zona the membership is nearly 1, 400 and rapidly increasing; the order is out of debt and has a comfortable surplus in its treas ury.
 The selection of Yuma as the place for holding the grand lodge was a high compliment to the town, and all citizens hope the visitors may be made to feel that it is fully appreciated and will carry home with them favorable impressions formed during their sOjOurn among us.
 The keys of the city have been thrown into the Rio Colorado; the Knights are in possession, and if any visitor does not see what he wants, let him "shpeak oud" and his wishes will be grat- flied.

THE PICACHO BASIN MINES

About p miles north of the town of Yuma, Arizona, in San Diego county, Cal, is a high, tower shaped eminence called Picacho, or peak. It rises 1, ,50O feet above the Colorado rive and is the most prominent landmark in that region of fantastically sculptured hills. The Picacho is made up of a series of rhyolit- ic and andesitic rocks, represent ing a long period of volcanic eruption. There are rhyolites and liparites, hornblende and and augite andesites, tufts and breccias, and more recently bas- alts, in the region which, excepting down in the valley bordering the Colorado, is a typical desert, where rain seldom falls and where the range ot temperature is wide, that ot summer being particularly high.
 Out of the vast field of volcanic rocks erosion has carved the rugged hills, with their sharp, clear-cutoutline removing most of the volcanic rock and expos ing the underlying older crystal line rocks. The PicachO is but remnant of the lava deposit, which must at one time have had thickness approXimating 200C feet. The peak has suggested the name of the mining district, which covers 40 square miles ot the adjacent territory. The old. CT rocks, exposed in the low. rolling hills in the Picacho basin, extending several miles along and back from the Colorado river, are micaceous and horn. blende schists, with few intru
 sive dikes, mostly diorite ano granite (pegmatite). Over 6 large part of the region adjacent to the Picacho there is a deposit

The Nile of America.

People in the east have no idea of the magnitude of the irri- gation work the United States government has entered on, ' said George H. Maxwell, execu- tive chairman of the National Irrigation Association.
 'In Arizona" he continued, t'the government has a big force of surveyors at work in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, preparatory to the construction of reservoirs and digging of main canals. The Colorado river will be the Nile of America. From that stream will be taken water enough to oirrigate region that will support a bigger popu- lation than California now has. Luckily, the Colorado is fullest of water in the summer time, when the crops need moisture.
 "It will be a work of years to carry the undertaking to com pletiOn, but it will be the great est benefit ever conferred on the western people. Once they get the water on these lands, which are of the greatest fertility, abundant crops can be harvested for centuries, and failure of har- vests is impossible. The section speak of will produce the finest tropical fruits and choicest veg. etables, and they can be put on the market fully a month earlier than they are now gathered in any part of the United States.
