PREDICTS MINING BOOM.

With the Swansea Smelter running
a. full blast and smelling about 400
tons daily, the Verde Valley Railroad
due to be completed in about another
month, work being rushed on the
2. 900 ton smelter of the United Verde
md with the rich strike of ore at
Copper Basin, eleven miles west OF
Prescott General Manager w. A.
Drake, Of the Santa Fe, Prescott &
Phoenix railroad, believes an almost
unprecedented mining boom is about
to be experienced in central and wes-
tern Arizona.
In an interview in the Phoenix Re-
publican, Mr. Drake is quoted, in
part, as follows
The Swansea smelter has been
running now since the middle of Au-
Gllst We are hauling in about 200
ion daily of fluxing ores, this ore
coming from the Humboldt mines.
just how many men are working
thGrc now, L DO not know, Dut 1t Is
considerably in excess of 100. Con-
ditions are booming in Swansea and
Boust as they have not doomed in
years before. There is every indica-
ton that under the management of
the Swansea Consolidated Gold &
Copper company. which took over the
Clara Consolidated holdings when the
company went into the hands of a re-
ceiver. long rum is in store. This
is ali that was needed to make that
section boom again and the people of
RoUse and Swansea believe that it
plesages continued prosperity.
General conditions all over the
Santa Fe are particularly good just
now and we look for a continuance
Of dis era of prosperity

CANAL SYSTEM
IS A CANARD
CIBOLA PEOPLE PROVOKED AT
ACTIONS OF IRRIGATION PRO-
MOTERS, AND BELIEVE THEY
ARE ON A SHOE-STRING.
Especial Correspondence

GLIB OLA, Ariz., Sept. II. =
Cibola valley is still ON the map al
though there was reason to doubt
that much of it would be left to put
in the biographies after the over
flow. We got ours along with the
rest of the river7bottom lands. But
we came out right side UP with care
and it is now a matter of history,
the details of which are not of inter
est in a newspaper-after it's all
over.
The chief topic OF general interest
at present is the canal and irrigation
system-and the valley people are
travelling the via Dolorosa. 1T is
rather difficult to present the matter
in an impartial manner, but the situ-
alton is practically as follows:
Messrs. Clipper and Hamilton came
into Cibola from Los Angeles last
spring giving promises of complete
irrigation system for the valley. Some
actual work was done, the gentlemen
claiming to have spent near $4,000 on
the job, but a conservative estimate
OF. cash actually disbursed on the
work could not run above $1,000.
Then work was discontinued until
after the overflow" according to the
statement made by the promoters.
These gentlemen stated, and author
lied the publication OF statement,
that a permanent system was plan
ned one that would be of practical
service at all seasons of the year.
Good! But it must be admitted that
the settlers did not place a great
deal of faith in those promises and
assumed a Missouri-like attitude on
the whole proposition. The settlers
have said, and are saying, practically
Show us the water, and canal sys-
tenn worth something and we will be
willing to bond land for the water. !"
Messrs. Clipper and Hamilton seem
to think they ought to get tine bonds
on promises and blue-prints and do
the work afterwards
A few days ago Mr.. Clipper was in
the valley and is now making tenta-
tive advances regarding a "high-wa-
ter system BUT the Lord knows
we don't need a high-water system
not much. During overflow in good
part of the valley you wouldn't be
able to see the canals for the water.
What's the use of paying out good
money for water to be delivered dur
ing high-water season, when, with
very little labor, most everybody can

During the closing days of con
gress last month THE secretary OF the
| interior department submitted a re
port to the chairmen of the public
lands committee and committee On
Indian affairs of the United States
ON Senator Henry F. Ashurst's bills
relative to the opening of the lands
of the Colorado River Indian reserva-
tion under the provisions of the Ca
rey act. This report came too late
for action during the last session of
ber session it is expected that the
committees having the bills in charge
will make a favorable report with
certain amendments recommended by
the secretary.
AS the Indians of the Colorado
River reservation have no tribal funds
and must be aided financially in
their allotments prior to residence
and active farming thereon, the sec
retary suggests that a price of $40
per acre be charged for the land.
The director of the reclamation SER
vice also recommends that the land
be sold at this figure, which is the
same as charged for the Yuma res
erWatiOn lands.
The appropriations for the survey
of the land and the construction OF
the pumping plant are reimbur5able
ones, and these expenses are to be
aiken out of the moneys received
from the sale of the surplus lands af-
ter allotment. Suggestion is also
made ito the fact that no provision
has been made in the bill granting
to- the state of Arizona sections for
the support of the common schools.
1t is also recommended that the bill
be amended 50 as to apply 70 afS.
lands located on the California side
of the river
On the whole the departmental re-
port lis very favorable, with the ex-
coptlons noted above. All of these
amendments should be favored by
the Arizona delegation. The price of
$40 per acre for the land is reason
able, and besides this money is to
be expended on the land for the ben
efit of the Indians, and i'm a large
measure it will be OF considerab ble
