BRITTLE FINGER NAILS CYoung
Matron.-It is almost impossible to
keep brittle finger nails in a shapely
condition. Close cutting does not i'm
prove matters and ii detracts greatly
from the appearance of the finger tips.
Begin at the root of the evil and feed
the nails. Before retiring rub the nails
freely with sweet oil or vaseline and
wear loose kid gloves to protect the
clothing and bedding. The gloves
should be perforated at the palms and
the middle of the fingers to admit
free circulation of air. Wear gloves
whenever possible while sweeping and
busting or doing other rather coarse
work, for the texture OF the skin is thus
preserved and damage to the nails pre-
vented. After washing dishes wash the
hands in clear warm water, rinse in
cold water, anoint the nails with a lit
tie vaseline and wipe away all surplus.
Keep up this treatment OF the nails
daily for q month and you viii see

SPENDS FURLoUGH IN PRESCOTT

Bob" Long, one of the really old time sports of Arizona, who more than year ago left here to enter the Sol diers' Home at Santa Monica, arrived in Prescott last evening, and will re- main here several weeks, his furlough permitting him to stay away for a term of three months.
 Long is one of the many old land marks in his line in this part of the territory, and is well known by all the older settlers of the southwest. His change of residence has apparently been for the best, and he looks strong and well, great many years younger than would be supposed by those who best know him. He hopes to enjoy his stay, and his army of friends are pleased to again meet him in the enjoy ment of good health.

CATTLE ADVANCING.

SILVER CITY, N. M, June 1;- Cattlemen making spring shipments from this point as well as from Deming are experiencing considerable trouble in securing cars. About 1900 head were loaded from the local stock pens this week, and there are several thou sand more to follow.
 The big shipments have been made from Deming, as the Rock Island was able to furnish cars sooner than the Santa Fe.
 Cattle have advanced in price sev- eral dollars during the past sixty days, and stoekmen are being offered about a s advance from what they sold for earlier in the spring.
 This section has been having good showers of rain durng the past few days, winch makes the cattle ranges look better than they have looked for many years.

FIRST ON RECORD.
Notice of Birth of Chinese Child Filed
 with Recorder.

A Chinese native born American was the subject for a record made at the courthouse yesterday. His father with an unpronouneeable name, who appar- ently wants the records of his child s birth kept plain, filed notice of the birth with the recorder.
 By search of the records for sev- eral years past it was found that na- tive born Chinese had never been re- corded in Prescott, and inquiry among the old timers developed that they had never heard of a birth in the Chi nese colony of the city nor had they ever known of local Chinese having heretofore reported birth.

TRYING TO END THE STRIKE
 AGAIN

CHICAGO, June 17-Negotiations for ending the teamsters' strike were reopened late this afternoon, and on Monday a conference will be held be- tween the strikers and J. V. Farwell, Jr., who has been delegated to act in matters of this kind for the employers.
 President Shea of the Teamsters Union, will not be one of the mem bers of the commission who met Far well, nor any member of the old strike commission who is friendly to Shea.
 It is probable that unless there is an agreement on Monday strike of the freight handlers employed at the diff ferent freight depots will result on July l. All the freight handlers are asking for an increase in wages amount ing to 10 per cent.
 Further investigation by the grand jury has developed nothing, but pro- misses of a sensation are being made by the states attorney. Two men were instantly killed by deputy sheriffs who were guarding the drivers of non-union wagons today. Frederick Hucksold, a teamster, was shot through the heart by Charles Hillman, a deputy sheriff, and Frank Davis was fatally wounded by Frank Armstrong, conductor on the express company s wagon.

CHICAGO, June 17-Mayor Dunne on Monday will ask the city council to authorize the commission of public works to advertise for bids to con- struct and fully equip hundred miles of street railway to be operated for and by the city of Chicago.
 Democratic members of the local transportation commission have prom ised the mayor that they will support his recommendation on the floor of the council chamber.
 The Mayor desires that the construe- tion of the municipal street railway shall be commenced, just as soon as the validity of certificates issued under the Mueller law, from the sale of which money to finance the street railways is to come, has been determined by the state supreme court. N
 It is also his intention to have the voters of the city pass upon the ques- tion of municipal operation at the elee- tion last November.

This treatment will also have a cleansing effect on the sink pipes.

NEW YORK, June 16-''Tom" Lawson of Boston is out this morning with a double column advertisement to the policy-holders of the Equitable and New York Life companies, in which he promises to expose some new plots, and to ask support from the policy holders. He also tells Amalga- mated Copper stockholders that this is the last opportunity they will have to sell at anything like present prices, for the stock is going to drop below 50. The last prediction of this kind made by Lawson was followed by a rather substantial advance in the stock, and the present position is ex- eeptionally strong.

Beaver Creek Ranchers Score in Water
 Litigation.

Beaver Creek RancherS Score In water
 Litigation.
 The first step in the fight of the ran chers who use Beaver creek water was won by the ranehers in the dis triet court yesterday, when Judge Sloane made an order for a new mea- surement of the water. He appointed Sol Johnson as a commissioner to make the required measurements, and to re- port back to the court upon the facts in the matter.
 The issue is in the nature of a test case to determine whether the ranch CTS at the lower end of the creek are getting the supply of water which they claim as their portion under the agree ment to which they have subscribed. c. F. Mahan, who is plaintiff in the action, alleges he is not getting the amount of water he is entitled to, and the decision in the matter will affect several other ranehers owning property in the same neighborhood.

CELEBRATE OPENING OF IRRIGATION
 SYSTEM
Completion Of Governments First Project to Reclaim The
 Desert Lands

RENO, New, June 1.-The first great step in the reclamation of the arid west through irrigation was eel ebrated near Reno today, where water for fifty thousand acres was turned into the great diversion canal to the Carson river.
 It was just three years ago today since the passage of the irrigation act, and the celebration signalized the completion of the first project under the law.
 A joint committee of the house and senate irrigation committees and a great company of people from Cali fornia and Nevada witnessed the cere- monies. The object of the work is to present national government land to provide homes for seekers. There is already a rapid settlement. Senator Newland delivered the address at the opening of the canal today.
 The main canal runs from Derby, 15 miles east of Reno on the Truckee riv- CT, to a point 10 miles above Lefeville on the Carson river, a distance of 31 miles.
 A peculiar feature of the first few miles of this canal is that earth em- bankments are left in their natural con dition, while the rock work is almost invariably cemented. This is on &C., count of the fact that Government Engineer Taylor fears percolatiOn more than erosion. Silt will fill the interstices of sand and loam, but it would be carried through creviced rock.
 Where the walls and bottom of the ditch are cemented, and this condition prevailed for miles. the bottom mar rows to ten feet, on account of the fact that there will be little friction and retardal of the waters.
 One of the chief difficulties that the government engineers will have to con tend with is the wind, which carries in front of it and its trail a whirl of sand. On a stormy day the desert sand drifts constantly into the ditch, so ra- pidly that it threatens the usefulness of the canal if not cleaned out every few weeks.
 The only remedy that has been found for this evil is a series of fences to hold back the powdered silica. Three tunnels are on the line of the ditch, in addition to tunnel spillway. These are lined with cement, and were diff cult of construction on account of squeezing ground.
 Drain or waste ditches form an inn portant part of the irrigation system. The cost of these, together with a concrete diversion dam on the Carson river and other structures, will ap- proximate $50O,OO0.
 The initial irrigation system will be used to distribute water over about
Weekly Arizona journal-miner., 1905-06-21

50,000 acres of land. During the next two years the system will be extended to cover 15O,OO0 acres more.
 Arrangements are now being made to construct a regulating dam at the mouth of Take Tohae. As a larger area of ground is brought under culti- vation and the demand for water in- creases, five or six other dams on the Truckee river and its tributaries will be constructed, and four reservoirs will be built on the carson river. One of the reservoirs will be eighteen miles in length, and will have a surface area of eleven thousand acres.
 The entire irrigation system as pro- jected will be completed for nine or ten years, and will cost about $9, 100000 After the initial work is finished and the first section of land is placed under irrigation, the balance of the project will be carried out with the proceeds of the sale of government land adjacent to the ditches and the sale of water to the settlers who are expected to take up the land.
 The method of obtaining the gov ernment land in the newly irrigated area will be simple. The charge has been fixed by the Secretary of the In- terior at a maximum of $26 an acre. This sum will not represent the pur- chase price to the land, but a perpetual title to the water. The land itself will be a homestead. Applications for the land are now being made to the land office in Carson City. The water right of $26 an acre will be payable in ten equal installments, and title will not lapse until two payments have been passed, which will give the home steader the opportunity of passing ov- CT hard year.
 The charge of $26 an acre is set to cover all cost of constructing the irri- gation system and maintain it for a period of years. If it is found that the charge was set too high the last payments will not be required. In any event there will be no addition charge. At the conclusion of ten years the plant will be turned over to the water users' association that is to be organ ized after a plan to be endorsed by the secretary of the interior.
 The government will continue to hold the title to the sources of supply, and will remain in a position to straighten out affairs if mismanagement ever re- suits on the part of the water users' association.
 The soil of the great Carson plain is of almost unknown depth, and was deposited by water courses in ancient days. The constituents are varied, owing to the many points from which they were brought. There are not en- ough stones in the entire plain to build the foundation of house.

BUSINESS RUSHING IN
 QUARTZITE DISTRICT
(From Saturdays Daily.)


 Charles Genung, a pioneer resident of Arizona, was yesterday in Prescott shaking hands with his many old ae- quaintances. He announces that he is permanently located at Quartzite, and speaks in glowing terms of the prosperous condition of affairs in that district. Being largely interested in various business ventures in that re- zion, he has been kept busy in nov ing about, and is fully informed as to what is going on. When asked as to the outlook for mining there, he ex- plained that everything points to the pronounced success of many of the mines to be, which are largely but in the early stages of development.
 Referring to the dry wash process, which in the past has been successfully worked in that district, he said that by reason of the heavy rains through out the winter, dry washing was out of the question until within the last few weeks. Many outfits, he explains, are now being prepared and put in shape to commence work by this method, and it is expected will continue through the summer. The heavy fall of wa ter during the winter months has made these dry wash diggings especially at- tractive, as the big finds are as rule made after a downpour of water that has disturbed the surface dirt.
