RELIEVING ovERELoWs.

The necessity for some general
scheme of improving the flood situa-
ton on the Deep Fork is again ap-
parent It is reported to be again over
flowing it's banks The river is large
enough TO carry its waters at all
times save short season in the
spring. Il then overhows and becomes
great river The same is true Of
the North Fork Of the Canadian and
many other streams.
Various plans for correcting this
evil which causes the loss of thous-
ands Of dollars every year have been
proposed. While perhaps none of them
will completely correct the condition
yet the damaging foods might be
greatly alleviated
This matter came before the last
legislative assembly, which took the
initial step toward relief Of the situ-
alton by requiring that all streams be
cleared OF timber and drifts and kept
clear Of the same
II is provided in section one Of the
chapter on streams Of the session laws
nf 1905 THAT the proprietors Of land
abutting on. OK extending over, any
stream Of water srbject to overflow
shall keep such stream cleared OF ali
lcgr, brush, d7if. and other obstructons
Of every kind and character, and shall
remove and keep removed from such
stream all brush and timber growing
within the bed Of such stream below
the upper line Of the outer banks
thereof; OF be subject go the penalties
and liable 10 the taxes hereinafter pro
vided."
The act proceeds at some length
TO prescribe the duties OF township
trustees. If generally carried out it
will not doubt have an alleviating ef-
feet upon the overfows and in time
perhaps cause =c=cral of the streams
to wash out for themselves larger
channels and will secure more rapid
currents, both Of which will aid in
correcting the matter Of overhows.
A general system Of water storage in
connection with irrigation will make
some difference in oyerfOwing streams.
Nearly all the streams subject to over
flow are tortuous in their courses, Of
ten making horseshoe bends. in which
case a little ditching would change and
shorten the channel and tend greatly
TO increase the speed Of the current.
A little inexpensive directing and
improvement of water courses would
prevent much Of the damage annually
accruing from the overflow of streams

Unfortunately where there is smoke,
dirt and dust aud little sunlight there
also can be found the germs of dis
ease. Natures great disinfectant is
sunlight Sunlight and fresh air pro-
mote the growth of animals and plants
but kill the germs of disease. Air,
free from dust, such as we have on
the sea, never permits the germs of
disease to have any chance for growth
and development II is in the fac
tory, the workshop, the Office, that
men and women suffer from diseases
which are in the dust and the bad
air. Such disease germs enter into
th- blood in two ways, either through
the lungs or stomach. If the blood
is pure and rich, the liver and stom-
ach in healthy active condition, the
germs of disease cannot find a resting
place there TO multiply. Disease of
the lungs, bronchitis and consump-
ton, are very apt to spread through
a factory where there is much fine
dust in the air. The lungs become
irritated and the germs find a fertile
field for growth. Extreme weakness,
feelings Of nervous exhaustion, coughs
and colds are the warning signals
which should be needed. One should
put the system in the very best possi-
bic condition right away.
After years of experience in an ac-
tive practice, Dr. Pierce discovered a
remedy that suited these conditions
in a blood-maker and tissue-builder,
which at the same time alieviates the
cough. He called II DR.. Pierce s

tive extract that assists in the diges-
ton and assimilation of the food in

what it needs for food and oxidation,

into activity and there is perfect
elimination of waste matter. When
the blood is pure and rich, all the
organs work without effort, and the
body is like a perfect machine; if
however, any part is allowed to rust,
and this human machine does not
get its full supply Of rich red blood
(which acts like oil on machinery, !,
then new fields are created in which
the bacteria or germs Of disease thrive
and multiply. The germs Of grip,
malaria, catarrh OF consumption find
a fertile field if the body is not kept in

cry share would shortly be taken and the company provided with a treasury fund sufficiently large to immediately begin work.
 1t is understood a number of officials and directors of the Shattuck-Arizona and Denn-Arizona companies will take a large block of the stock and will in teTest themselves in the management of the mines. Several members of the syndicate are expected to arrive here as soon as the hot spell termi- mates.
 The old Cochise mine is situated in Dubacher canyon and adjoins the Czar mine of the Copper Queen com pany. The old company was organ ized in 1898 with a capital of s5,O0O,- 900 but on account of the lack of a sufficient development fund was not a successful venture and the proper ty has been shut down for several years.
 4 shaft was sunk to a depth of 325 feet when the property was first ex- plotted and a drift was run in a west erly direction for 257 feet rom the 800 foot level Small punches of ere were encountered in these workings but no body of workable size was found Nevertheless the mine is con sidered by experts to be a valuable property and that further sinking in the shaft will cut fine body of orc which is known to run up to the Co., chise line in the Czar, and which dips into the Cochise. When sufficient money is in the treasury to assure continuous work hoist will be pur- chased and sinking begun at once.
 The officers of the new company are the same as in the old company with the exception of Harry Duey who has been elected assistant secretary. The officers are as ollows: L. c. Shattuck, president; Charles Jones, vice-president; Charles B. Watts, sec retary: Harry Duey, assistant secre- tary and Joseph Muheim, treasurer.

 O. L. Neer, who is promoting the York properties near the Fl Tigre in Sonora, will leave Douglas Wednesday next with party of Ohio capitalists to visit the property.

 At the Copper Queen properties nothing of particular note has oc- cured during the week, with the ex- ception that plenty of mine timber is now on hand. The work of pulling down the old smelter steel continues and the last of 1t will probably disap- pear by the end of the week. At the Bolbrook the new change house is about completed and will be ready for occupation shortly. The producing shafts are shipping their usual quan- tity of ore and each property is open ing up it's reserve ore bodies to pre- pare for the increased output that will shortly be demanded by the smelt- CTS at Douglas.
 The equipment of the Oliver shaft of the C. e 4. company with it's per manent plant is going forward rap idly. During the week two new oil tanks have been built and an other one is underway, the combined capacity Of the three being about 25o,- 900 gallons. A new change house has also been built and the last con crete foundation for the new power house has been set. Work of erect fig the steel frame of the power house will begin this week.

At the Hoatson shaft of the Calu- met & Pittsburg two large oil tanks arc being built and the second boiler of the power house is now ready to be fired. Sinking continues.
