James NJ DUNCAN and wife, who
have a ranch on Pit river, near Car
bon, Shasta county, conceived the
idea of irrigating and raising alfalfa.
To get water for the purpose it was
necessary to dig a tunnel into the
hillside, a mile and half from their
farm, to strike a subterranean flow
and convey it by ditch to their land.
The work was begun, and without any
outside assistance husband and wife
drove tunnel 1850 feet in length.
Two years were consumed in the
work, says the Sacramento Bee. Much
of that time Mrs. DUNCAN had to
work alone in the tunnel, as DUNCAN
was sick for several months and un
able to work. Mrs. DUNCAN learned
to use the drill as well as any miner
She drilled the holes, put in the
charges of powder, set off the blasts
and then wheeled the dirt to the
dump at the mouth of the tunnel.

Of the 12O varieties of mported grass seeds experimented with, only two species of grass have been found that seem in any way adapted to the Arizona desert; one of these, however, promises to thrive on the desert better thau the native grass, while another is we'll adapted to lawns and forms a verdant carpeting equal in beauty to the blue grass of Kentucky and Missouri Al though yet in the experimental stage, these two species of grass will likely affect the future development of the desert.

PRODUCTION OF COPPER

One hundred years ago, accord ing to the Copper Handbook, the mines of the globe produced an average of about ten thousand tons of long copper yearly-less than the yearly output of either nickel or aluminum-white in 1906 pro- duction is at the rate of 15 900 long tons per week, and there is much talk of 2 copper famine-to which color is given by the present price of the metal, which is higher than for twenty five years past. Ac cording to the Copper Handbook. just issued by Horace J. Stevens, of Houghton, Michigan, in 1905 there were fifteen individual companies each of which produced more cop per than all the mines of the globe combined produced in 1895, and two mines, each of which made as much of the metal last year as all of the mines of the world made turing the first five years of the nineteenth century, the two mines in question being the Calumet X Hecla, of Michigan, and the Ana ;onda. of Montana.
 Of the fifteen mines of the globe that made twenty five million oI more pounds each of refined cop per in 1905, ten are in the United States, while there are one each il. Mexico, Spain, Germany and Japan and one, the American Smelling 6 Refining Co.,, generally known as the shelter trust, that draws itz copper ores from numerous small mines in Mexico, Canada and the United States.
 In 1905 there were 1S3 properties credited with production of one million or more pounds of fine copper each. Of the one hundred leading producers, one, the shelter trust, drew ores from nearly all of North America, while the others were located as follows: United States. .46; Mexico, II; Chile, 10; Japan, 6; Canada and Australia, , each; Spain, Russia and Cape Colony, 8 each; Germany. ?; Tas- mania, Norway, Italy, Turkey and Newfoundland, one each. Ninety four of these 100 properties made more than 100000 pounds of fine copper each in 1905.

A Prophet of Evil

Lee J. Spa ngler, of York, better known as Pennsylvania's "pro- phet," who, several years ago, pre- dicted the San Francisco earth quake and many other disasters, has issued his 1907 bulletin.
 Among other things in his tenth consecutive prophecy he says:
 Russia will lose it's Czar and the Turks their Sultan, and all of the kings of the nations will fall. There will be fights and dis turbances in the religious world and the end of the world will be within two years. There will be great famine, and the rivers of the world will be dried up. Many of the rulers and prominent 6nanciers will hang themselves on account of financial troubles There will be numerous railroad accidents and smashing up of cars; tidal waves will rise and destroy the sea boa rd towns; many earthquakes through out the whole world will occur; the lands will disappear and the mountains will not be found. and lightning rods will be of no con- sequence in checking the vicious lightning which will prevail.
 "There will be political dis turbances and labor will be arra ved against capital. The devil will be let loose, and mans foes will be in his own household. Mothers in law will be arrayed against daug ghters-in- law. There will be kitchen scraps and families will be unable to obtain help.
 'In 1908 the stars will fall. King Edward will pass away as the last king of England. New York will be destroyed by fire"

O'NeiIl to Fight Gambling

"To carry out my pledges to the voters of Maricopa county as soon as 1 can get recognition on the floor of the council, 1 will introduce a bill to prohibit gambling sin all forms in Arizona"
 Eugene Brady O'Neill, demo cratic member elect to the council for Maricopa county, made that statement this afternoon. Con tinuing further, he said:
 II will Introduce another bill, which will ask that the license for saloons outside of cities be not less than $4O0 per year. By this law 1 hope to close the deadfalls in the small mining camps.
 'In every speech I made in the last campaign 1 promised the peo pie that l would go into the legis- lature to stop gambling if possible  and to prohibit the salnon business
 This territory needs law that will close the saloons at midnight and keep them shut, back door and. front, on Sunday. This is one re form that believe the members of the legislature will support with little opposition"
 O'Neill has the open support of q number of members in both houses in the campaign he will wage against gambling and the saloon business.-Phoenix Enter prise, Dec 30.
