Clara Taking Good.

The Clara Gold and Copper Company is still coming to the front with leaps and bounds. There is now force of several men at work, notwithstanding the hard times, and drifting on the TO- foot level shows up lots of the stuff we are all looking for. Every week or so reports of new strikes come in. As a matter of fact the whole thing is a strike as far as rice ore is concerned, and the beauty of it is that it IS a mighty bis one.
 The Grown Princess, which adjoins the Clara, is another remarkable prop erty which is now about to be worked vigorously. The Grown Princess, Crown Queen, and several other groups along the same lode are all "Claras" as far as wealth is concerned, and it is but matter of only a few years until a second Goldfeld will spring up in northern Yuma county.-WiclIenburg Miner.

The monument had been thrown down and gradually buried by the action of the elements and lay hidden for per haps thirty years or more. It is a highly polished shaft of Vermont mar ble, eight feet in length and beautiful in design and finish.
 Within an area where the monument was uncovered there was once ceme- tery that was used by the government post and a number of soldiers and oth- CTS were buried there. Ten or twelve years ago, however, by authority of the War department the bodies, or what remained of them, were exhumed and reinterred in other cemeteries. Captain Isaac Polhamus, who came to thissecion in the early '5Os, remem- bers something of the survey referred to in the above inscription, touching upon an event of nearly fifty years ago.
 In 1857 or 1858 a splendidly equipped surveying party of perhap twenty I headquarters there. Major Stone, a retired army officer, was in charge of the survey and all of the engineers were Americans, though it was given out that they werein the service and under the instructions of French sym dicate which had contracted to survey and establish section lines of the public domain of Mexico. For this service large tracts of land were to be ceded to the syndicate for French colonization purposes. The surveyors were at work up and down the river and into the in- terior of Sonora and Lower California for a year or more, and Captain Polha- mus remembers the young man, Stan ton, very well.
 Owing to the expense of the under taking, or perhaps to the unfettered extravaganza of the surveying party, who indulged in wine tsuppers and high jinks galore, the compact was never fulfilled. The great drain upon the Frenchmen's exchequer caused the syndicate to collapse.

DAM TO BE FINISHED
 BY MAY, 1909.

 the Dam Railroad.

Mir. l.. c. Hill, supervising engineer Of the government reclamation work in Arizona and Southern California, has given out the statement that the La- guna dam. now about three-fifths done, will be completed before the June rise of 1909 The levee now being built from Fort Yuma hill to the dam will be finished early in February, This levee is to form a railroad bed on which track laying will commence within a few days, so that railroad for the transportation of supplies and material in the dam construction will be con- pleted probably almost as soon as the levee.
 On the completion of the railroad the force at the damwilf be doubled and the werk rushed to completion us rap idly as possible.
 The reclamation service, which re- gently considered bids for the erection of d large pump with which to raise water into the gravity canal, has rec commended to the secretary of the inte- Erior that he award the contract
 By the time the river falls, the pres ent year, this pump will be in opera tion and irrigation of crops will thus not be interrupted. The pump is sup posed to have capacity to supply water for he irrigation of 10000 to 12,OOO acres, and added to tbe supply furnish ed by the pump now in use, a strip of land two miles wide extending from Yuma nearly to the Fishbaugh ranch, twelve miles below, may be irrigated.
 Another important piece of work is the extension of the levee to the Mexi- can line and along the line to the mesa. This is now under way and the work ing force is to be increased so that the levee may be entirely completed before the high water of 1908. TA
