S45,0OO a year, with the expectation of the sitio being watered through the annual over flow of the Nazas river A con- servative estimate, therefore, would make the annual rental of sitio about $20,000.
 In view of this, irrigation will give this property a proportional value, having in mind the diff ference between the present returns of $60,000 and the future returns of $250,000.
 In connection with the foregoing, we take pleasure in announcing that stock company is being organized for the purpose of carry ing out the irrigation canal neces- sary to the development of this re- zion. The company begins busi- ness with a capital of S1 100000.

Msrvels From Irrigation.

The following was translated from an article appearing in "El Economista," weekly publica- tion from the City of Mexico, by Mir. G. J. Gonzalez, of Guaymas:
 The campaign that has been and is being conducted by various pub lications on behalf of Irrigating Works is, as will be seen from the data shown below, fully justified by the fine results obtained thus far.
 Our agriculture will never have the real character of an industry (the last stage of its evolution) un- til it has a sufficient supply of water to make it a success. Tax ing into consideration the small annual rainfall, that it obtains, this success can come only from the construction of extensive irrigat- ing works.
 Recently we have gathered some important information regarding h prospects awaiting several agricultural tracts in the district of Jimenez, Chihuahua, open to irrigation which, the owner, taking advantage of the concession grant ed him by the federal government, intends to irrigate on large scale This land covers more than 40,- GOO hectares, oi which, at present there are but 52G0 hectares under cultivation, and the returns from ! this tract averages, it is said, ! $6O,0OO.
 So soon as the irrigating works | to which we refer are constructed, f the agricultural situation will be greatly improved, because, through | the construction of the works, half the ground will be in shape for the | raising of cotton After which, the returns, according to the data we have, will be approximately, | as follows:
 Returns from 10 sitios of cotton land at $20,000 yearly rental ! each S2OO.OOO . Returns from cotton ginn- ing and cotton seed S0,000 Returns from stock feeding timber and wood cutting 10000 | Total S290,000 Less 10000 Net returns $25O,0OO
 The basis of calculation for the figures is that, at Tla- hualillo, an irrigated sitio (equiva- C n t to 1888 acres) is rent

The Burlington now has a route from
Omaha to st. Louis only forty-seven
miles longer than the shortest route
between those points. 1t vii! readily
be seen that completion IF the Ash

cutoff, are all that is necessary to
make a short line owned by Hill to
the Northern Pacific coast. This
would be fed not only by the Kansas
City and st. Louis lines, but by all
the branches in the rich territory

The building OF the gulf line, to COM
plete the Observation-Disclosures lin. is
further in the future. The report has
been repeatedly made public that the
Burlington has been buying right-of-

an all Hill line from the gulf to the
Twin Cities and the great lakes on the
northeast and the North Pacific coast
on the northwest.
