SERIES OF DAMS.

The general plan here proposed iS the pro- vision of series of reservoirs on the Colo -ndo river bv the construction Of high daIAS ;gt numerous points where the topography is favorable and where the possible storage IS large. All of these dams will be provided with argcs ssluiceWayS through the base, in order that the stored waters may be entirely drawn. of. togcthcr with their" load Of silt, whenever tits found desirathc to do So.- The reservoirs will serve settling basins for Scd- iinent. 'Fhe dams will also be utilized 10 raise tlSe waters into ceEp;siSs f9F the dorIbe ErrpoSc Cf enclosing more lF1FGeirf- A TStlS hy suCff c=gTfas ssIrf et givSFsS tsrsgss a Fsfgcft< sufficient 5oC7tTYY s large amount oA Se1fii7et sIT NUspersYOn uHlil 1t e=sn be GcpoSifs6 Fsfa,fT T!,e fields. The decfTity giveI to the e-tifaiS sfill dsperd largely upon thc character of the soil and will be the highest p@rirliSSthc Wftfl-- cut involving destructive erosion. The fati Of the Colorado river is so slight that reScT- Noirs of cnormOEs capacity may be construct ed without involving dams Of irApracticabie height. At any time, by opening the Slulcc- ways Of thc reservoir, the current or the river will quickly eat a channel through the de posted sediment from the upper end Cf the reservoir to the Sluice gates; this being the longest dimension ;nGd deepest part of the reservoir will in all eases form an important part of this storage capacity, and to this eN- aent every reservoir can be permanently kept clear Of sediment without expense. With this exception. each reservoir IS expected to gradually fiji: when this occurs il is proposed to draw down the surface Of She reservoir permanently 2j 10 10 feet and tO convert all of the reservoir site except the river channel into irrigated farming lana, ana, II necessary. construct another reservoir for storage Eur- roses higher up on the stream. This policy will greatly increase the arabic area. lt will T1len be practicable, whenever desired, 10 close the SlGices and inundate all Of the 8@ri- cultural land in each filled reservoir and thus SprtiliZe it, as iS naturally done by the river Nilc for the valley. This is done artifcially Sn some parts of Europe and Africa. With thc@ieep, alluvial soil, SCmi-tropicai climate, arid atmosphere, abundant water supply, and the possibility Of fertiiiZing the fields every year without expense. it is believed hat such regions can be fiTncd the year round, and several crops taken off annually, an acreage production being thus attained entirely without precedent in history.

A Lesson in Mining.

A lode is streak, as sure as you're born; A dip is pitch of the same; A big bunch of rock, that spells the pay shot Is called horse in the vein. hanging walls the top, you know,
 Or roof, of leads in place. The foot walls just the floor of them
 Or the bottom, bed or base. An incline shaft is one that's sunk
 Down on the leads own pitch. straight one just don't seem to care
 But strilsin' ore that's rich, A crosscut runs to tap the vein
 From a point that's picked as best tunnels about the same oldthinE'
 So we'll let that subject rest. drift is tunnel that follows lead
 Not down, but in on a level. stope's hole where ore was minedi
 Now, don't that beat the devil? 4 winze is sort of shaft, you see,
 That starts from level below. And why they picked that name for it Is more, my friend, thonI know. 4 raise is made to connect two levels
 Or to strike the shoot overhead; And the face of a drift is the end of the thing And so, we'll say, enough said. Mines and Minerals.

Ordinance No. is one relatingto the opening and planking of streets and the proposed amendmentis simply designed to bring it up to the last con- gressional amendments.

AS soon as the resolution was
read, Hon. c. A. Denton arose to
advocate its adoption ard pleased
the friends Of the resolution greatly.
Geo. p. Huekeby opposed the in-
PRODUCTION Of the resolution as tend
ing to create division among the
Bates county Republicans to no
good purpose, and weakening them
in the future at home, in the district
and in the state. His speech was
plentifully punctuated with applause
and pleased those oppoted to divis-

B. F. Wix heartily endorsed the
sentiment or the resolution in 4

A viva voce vote was then taken
OH the adoption of the amendment,
and the chair decided it was adopt
ed.
Mr.. Hales, of Usage, called for
a division. The chair decided a
division could not be had as the
chair had already announced the re-
suit. Mr.. Hales then appealed to
the house. The chair was sustained
by a vote of s. for, to 81 against
the chair.
The resolutions, as amended,
