Good Roads Movement.

At the monthly meeting Of the
Prince Edward Board Of Supervisors
held last Friday much interest was
shown by several committees from
different parts Of the county in the
permanent improvement Of the public
roads. a number Of residents from
Leigh district were there to ask for a
special permit to tax their district for
the improvement Of their roads, while
an ardent advocate from Hampden
pictured the mud-riddeu peor. e Of his
district a favoring increased taxation
iu preference to present road condi-
tiOns.
BotlfMr. G. :. Wing, on behalf OF
the Leigh citizens aud Judge Watkins
for the whole county, addressed the
Board, and the conclusion arrived at
was that the Judge Of the Circuit
Court be petitioned to call an election
for the voters TO say whether or not
bonds shall be issued to the amount Of
100000 for macadam work. This
amount, it was estimated, would make
forty-fye miles Of permanent rock
road, distributed as follows: In Hamp-
den, 10 miles; in Buffalo, 10 miles; in
Lockett, 10 miles and in Leigh 10
miles. Judge Watkins was requested
to draw an application to be presented
to the Court for the election.

Mysterious Drowning.

Missed from his home for several
weeks, and having been diligently
searched for day after day, Mr.. Henry
BOoker's almost decompOSed body was
discovered on the 18th instant in Buff

was made by a small colored boy cut

as those Of the missing man.
Mr.. Booker was a very old and feeble

Editor Sentinel:
 Mir. O. P. Bondesson, the let ter writing president of the Water Users Association, we see has again entered the arena in a column article in the Sun of July 26. Some weeks ago we met this accomplished knight of the quill" in an approach to the issues before the people of this community, and as we en- tered the discussion his position proved so untenable that his bat terieS were Silenced after the first round and he withdrew from the affair without a word of explanation for his thus talk ing to the woods. Now that we are proceeding, as heretofore outlined, to a hearing before a larger audience in the shape of a call for a convention in which a fair and true consideration can be had, and in which an author itative investigation can be insti, tuted and the true situation ar rived at, he has again broken cover and the article referred to is the result. That he is non plussed is indicated by his call ing our association the "Yuma Valley Counterfeit Water Users Association" and saying that "as such is strictly bogus, having no charter, no capital stock, no water rights, no canals, no place of business" and then proceeds to false charges and information which readers will pardon us for considering too insignificant to notice. We will say that the Consolidated Water Users Asso- citation is exactly what it's arti. cleS of association declare it to be; and, Mir. Bondesson, you should not thus expose your ig, norance by calling us bogus, , as you we'll know that for the last two years we have leased and operated the two gravity canals of the valley, actually handled the water and delivered the goods, and are the only actu al water users association al present in the valley; while your own association, you will acknowledge, is the most bogus affair that has ever been imposed on an intelligent community having no water for the farmer and not likely to have for years:

owned and operated for thirty years by c. T. Cowell and asso- ciates, is also among the ship ping properties to be named in this group. Then we must con- sider the great iron deposits, just becoming known, where at one point an old crater shows 1 ,000, tons of commercial iron that in it's native state runs p 10 65 per cent, and immense bodies lying adjacent thereto that will be workable at such time as capital cares to invest-presumably inn mediately upon the advent of this proposed railroad. Along the range is also to be named the Amalgamated copper properties; also those of the Western In vestment and Development Com pany of Los Angeles, owning B claims with 2000 feet of develop ment. and l3 patented claims, all showing ore of smelling grade.
 These and many more could be cited as possibilities for the flu ture advancement and possible construction of line that would be a paying investment and at once become a lever to pry the mining world into placing for tunes in development of the min- ing districts of Arizona which are situated in and along the worlds greatest known mineral belt, namely: that which follows from the great mother lode of California along the now famous southern oblique boundary line of the state of Nevada, on into and through the territory of Ar izona, where we often find it's width to be POO miles, passing on into Mexico, even to the old Agua Caliente mine with it's 30, foot circular working shaft, which, according to statistics of the Mexican government, has produced over S900, ,O00, ,000.
 The writer presents the above to show briefly, with the devel- opment that would naturally fol low the advent of the proposed railroad through the greatest mineral belt of the world, the wonderful sources of wealth to be added to the riches of the globe. We need this railroad we will have it. It would be an outlet for mineral and also open up new markets for the products of the farm which are to become so abundant through the work of the reclamation service.
 Of the recent great strikes in Yuma county 1 will nave some thing to say in a future article.
