Heaved Him Over an Ugly Dump.

\ man named Cummings, employed at the Henrietta mine, was brought to Prescott last week in pretty badly battered up condition, says the Journal Miner. He was working On the night shift and says that three men came to where he was working and with drawn reyolvers compelled him to go down on the dump. On his arrival there he was knocked down and he grappled with one of his assailants The man called on the others to shoot him. but on account or the darkness and the general mIX-up the others did not shoot, probably through fear of shooting their companion.
 Cummings claimed that they finally overpowered him and heavcd him bodily over the dump. His general appearance fully corroborates the story told by him. It is not thought that his wourd will prove fatal.
 He has no idea Of the motive which prompted the fiendish deed, as it was not for the purpose Of robbery and he says he knows of no enemies that he has that would attempt to wreak ven geance on him in such a brutal and murderOus manner.
 Cummings says he Is a non-uniou man but that he has never had any trouble with the union. The assault is shrouded in complete mystery.

Thousands of New Homes.

Nevada will soon have cue of the
 largest and most comprehensive irriga-
 tion systems in the world wherewith to
 make it's desert lands blossom as the rose. Mr L. H. Taylor, district engi- neer for the United States Reclama- tion Service for Nevada, has recently been in Washington and reports the satisfactory progress Of the Truckee- Carson reclamation project, Of which he has immediate charge.
 This project contemp!ates the utiliza- tion of the waters of the Truckee and Carson rivers for the irrigation of about 375, GOO acres Of sage brush desert in western Nevada. These lands will furnish bomesteads of about so acres each for aboot 1, 300 families. It is eX- pected that, with the addition of the towns and villages that will naturally spring up in the district, the popula- tiou of the state will be increased in the next few years by at leass 60 600 people.
 Active construction is now in pro- grcss on a main canal about Fl miles long. which is to divert the waters Of Truckee river to d large storage reser- voir on the lower Carson river. There the waters of the two streams will be mingled and impounded, and thence led out upon the plains in the vicinity Of the Carson and Humboldt sink Two contracts for the construction Of different divisions of this canal were made by the Secretary Of the interior with F.. E. and A. l.. Stone company, and C. A. Warren & Co.,, California contracting firms, on August 2S and Sept. 2, 1903 respectively. Ground was broken on September II. 1903, and the work k to be finished by November of the present year. In the meantime, surveys for the requisite system of dis tributing canals are well under way. and the department will be ready in the spring to contract for their con- struction. This work will be followed by the erection of dam which will lOi III LlC itSCl Nbtl pu tllt Cti SUI llNcI- The reservoir will have total length of about IS miles and will flood over ,0O0 acres of land to an average depth of 2S feet.
 The lands to be irrigated by these works aggregate about 300, ,000 acres in the lower portions of the Truckee, Carson and Humboldt river basins. In the upper valley Of the Truckee and Carson rivers some 75.000 acres O. land will be supplied from the works tO be constructed some time in the future. As these great areas are gradually brought under cultiva- tion, and a greater supply is required, ten additional reservoirs, including Lake Tahoe are to be added.

Statehood Bill Now Being Drafted.

The house subcommittee on terri tories is working on the new state hood bill. The work will extend over several days. IL is agreed that an om- nibus bill admitting Arizona and New Mexico d. one state and Oklahoma and Indian territory a. another. will be brought in.
 The democrats on the committee are stoutly protesting against this move, and will file d minority report offering an omnibus bill admitting Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Indian Territor} a. separate states.
 The provision proposed that the new State of Arizona created out oi Ari- z1na and New Mexico, shall be given 1000. .O0O 10 pay od the debts or the territory a. com bined, will meet strong opposition on the part Of many mem bers of the committee. The proposed gift of 22.OO0, 900 acres of land will also meet with strong and determined opposition.
 In speaking Of the proposition to admit Arizona and New Mexico a. one state, Delegate Wilson said: "Ari- zona is separate in many ways from New Mexico, and wants to remain SO. Ninety-five per cent. Of our population is pure American and well educated, while thisi far from the case in New Mexico. Our laws are newer and bet ter than those Of New Mexico and our climate is different. Should both ter ritories be admitted jointly, terms that might benefit one end of the new state would work injury to the other.

Benson School CrumbIine Away.

 There is just such a question as this agitauug the minds of several people in this locality.

 DurIng the first six weeks that the brildiug stood 1t settled just eighteen inches by actual measurement. which is vouched for by several people.
 In support of tic question about the ultimate fall of the school building reference is made to the fate of the Southern Pacific depot here in the past twelve years.
 During that time it has been neces- sarv on seven different occasions to nut jacks under the building and raise il above the surface of the railroad tracks.
 Many have tried 10 explain this strange condition by saying that the massage of heavy trains jarring the earth has caused it 10 settle.
 The reform school building was con- structed bv the territory at cost eX- ceeding S30, 900 and is one Of the most magnificent buildings in the terri tory.-Miner.
