MAY LOWER RATES.

An effort is being made to have
the Santa Fe lower it's rates on ore
shipments along the A. & G. and
Parker cutoff to the Swansea smelt-
nr. From Parker the present rate is
$1.OO per ton to Bouse, and the rail
road has been asked to cut this
rate to SO cents per ton on ore run
ming SIS and less. From Bouse to
Swansea the present rate is SO cts,
per ton, and this is to be cut to 35
'ents per ton, making the total rate
from Parker to Swansea IS cents.
The new rate asked from Calzona
and Vidal is 60 cents, to Bouse, and
from Blythe Jc rs cents. Points
west of Blythe Jc as far as Cadiz,
$100 per ton. Rates east of Bouse as
far as Wickenberg will also be low
cred in proportion if the other rates
west of that point are favorably con-
s.dered by the Santa Fe.

SERIOUSLY INJURED.

George Martinez, a. cowboy who
has been employed on the roundup
now in progress in the valley, sus-
tanned serious injury last Monday.
While engaged in cutting out a calf
from a herd the animal fell in front
of his horse, which also stumbled and
fe Martinez landing underneath the
horse. After the horse regained it's
feet the cowboys foot was fastened
in the stirrup, and he was dragged
a considerable distance by the fright
ened animal before rescued by his
fellow workers. He was taken to
Parker in an unconscious con-
dition. and on Tuesday morning he
was removed to Wenden. According
TO last reports he was conscious, but
it is said there is little hope enter
taiDe5 for his recovery.

OPEN TO SETTLEMENT.

Four hundred and fourteen thous-
and acres of land in the Wallapai va.
ley are to be thrown open to settle
ment by the government on and after
the 18th day of December 1872
These embrace the best of the lands
in the valley and should be eagerly
sought after by prospective agricul-
turists. While little water has so far
been found in the valley, it is more
than probable that by concerted ac-
tion reservoirs of sufficient capacity
could be built in the canyons that
would make possible the irrigation of
vast tracts of this land Much of the
land is susceptible of dry farming,
all small grains being grown by the
use of good judgment and the appli-
cation of thorough dry farming
knowledge.

IRRIGATION
FOR CIBOLA
RESIDENTS OF FERTILE COLO
RADIO RIVER VALLEY PLANNING
TO ORGANIZE IRRIGATION DIS
TRCT UNDER BROWN ACT.

YUMA, AriZ., Dec. PC. H. Me-
Donald of Cibola valley has just re-
turned to this place from Casa Gran
de valley, where he has been study
ing the operation of the irrigation
act, passed at the last session of the
legislature, with the idea of organic
ing the Cibola district under this pro-
vision.
Casa Grande recently organized a
water district under this act and
voted bonds for $5,O00,000.
Briefly the following are the most
important provisions of the law:
A petition asking the board of SUI
pervisiors of the county to define the
boundaries of the district and call
an election to decide whether or not
the district shall be formed. This pc
tition must have so signatures if
there are 100 or more land owners
in the proposed district; if there are
less than 100 land owners a majority
shall sign the petition. If the cleo
ton results favorably the board of
supervisors divides the districts into
five sub districts and an election is
called to choose directors, one from
each district
The district has power to issue
bonds to raise funds for the CON
struction of an irrigation system.
These bonds shall be payable in not
more than 80 years, shall pay not
more than 6 per cent interest and
shall be sold for not less than 93
per cent of their value.
Mr. Mcdonald, who is land owner
of Cibola valley, plans to ask his
fellow land owners to form an ir-
rigation district of the valley under
the Brown law for the purpose of
constructing an irrigation system.
The valley comprises $4,000 acres
of Colorado River bottom and it lis
estimated that $250,O0O or $40 per
acre is sufficient for the construction
of the system.
CibOla valley is one of the most
fertile tracts of land on the Colorado
and all of Yuma county will rejoice
to know that they have found a
means of turning it's natural wealth
to account. Other plans of irrigat-
ing it have failed but the formation
of district and building of an ir-
rigation system under the Brown act
gives great promise of bringing it to
fruitfullness and wealth.

Grand Canyon crossing almost the
1t remains almost continuously in
deep canyons until it emerges there
from and enters into a narrow val
ley near old Camp Mojave, a short
distance above the town of Needles,
California, where the river is cross
ed by the Santa Fe railroad system.
Below this point the river for a short
distance again enters the canyon and
does not emerge into the valley lands
to any extent until it reaches the
northern limits of the Colorado river
Indian Reservation near the agency
called Parker From this point to
the Mexican line the river has ap-
parently erOded a series of narrow
ribbon-like valleys ranging from 5
to 10 miles in width for a distance
by river of fully 200 miles,
These valleys are largely subject
to annual overflows, due to the early
summer rise OF the river, and their
soil formed by the deposit of silt
from the stream is of a very fertile
nature. Below Yuma on the Cali
fornia side and at the international
boundry this valley condition of the
Colorado ceases and the broad delta
of the stream begins.
The river carries enormous guam
titles of silt eroded largly from the
Grand Canyon and is one of the mud
diest streams in the world.
The true delta of the Colorado ex-
tends from the head of the Gulf of
California to the international line,
and contains in the neighborhood of

INCREASE OF LAND VALUES
COLORADO RIVER VALLEYS
Passage of Newlands Bill, Which Appropriates
$5O,0OO,OOO for Colorado River Storage,
Will Prevent Floods and Shortage.

That land values in the Colorado
river valleys will increase so per cent
as a result of storage of the flood
waters of the Colorado as provided
in the Newlands bill, is the op-
inion of land holders in this section.
The passage of this bill means an
appropriation of $50,000,000 to be
spent in building storage dams in
the upper Colorado. These dams will
retain a large portion of the surplus
water during the flood period and
will provide a greatly increased flow
during the low water periods so that
the millions of acres of fertile land
along the river will he both protect
ed and watered.
''The Newlands bill will be passed,
and we hope in this session of con-
gress' was the statement of Geo. H.
Maxwell, who is leading in the fight
for the bill, in Los Angeles recently.
Referring to the general plan of
storage, j. B. LippincOtt said:
"The Colorado river rises in the
high mountainous regions of Colora-
do, Wyoming and Utah, and flows in
a general southwesterly direction,
assembling the greater portion of
its waters from the upper tributari-
es at the union of the Green and
Grand rivers about 100 miles below
Grand Junction, Colorado. Below
this point it enters into the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado, having erod-
ed it's channel through the highest
portion of the plateau region of
southern Utah and northern Arizona,
proceeding westerly through the

FINANCING WELL
KNOWN GOLD MINE

Following the very favorable re-
port of an expert sent to examine the
Savahai mine few weeks ago by
interested parties, negotiations are
now under way to finance the Sava-
hal Mines company, recently or
ganized corporation. If the present
plans materialize this we'll known
gold property will have the opportun-
ity to show what one of the best pros
poets in the Parker district can do
with a little capital spent in consist
ent mining.
This property has the distinction
of being the only known free gold
mine in the Parker country that
does not show a trace of copper. 1t
is located about twelve miles north OF
Vidal, Cal, and about eighteen miles
west of Parker There is a good
wagon road from the property to
Vidal from which station ore ship
ments are made The last shipment
made from the Savahai to the Ell
Paso smelter gave returns of GA
over $120 per ton, with no trace of
copper.
Development work is now in pro-
gress at the mine The new tunnel
is in about 120 feet. This working
was expected to cut the ore at $50
feet, but G. A. Marsh, manager of
the company, who just returned from
the property this week, states that
ore showing good colors of gold to
the naked eye has been already en-
countered. He expects to begin sack
ing ore next week for shipment.
There are two extensive lode sys-
TENS traversing the property, one of
which extends through the Monitor
group of claims, known as the Moni-
| tor lode, and the other extends
through the Cedar Rapids group,
known as the Cedar Rapids lode.
Besides these there are numerous
small lodes tributary to and inter
sectlng these main ore systems.
The officers and manager of the
Savahai Mines company are we'll
known business and mining men of
Parker, and with sufficient working
capital under their management this
property should be placed on good
paying basis before many months
have passed

SAD ACCIDENT
NEAR BLYTHE
ROBERT WELLS FALLS FROM A
WAGON AND ACCIDENTLY KILLS
MENTED MAN FOUND DEAD.

BLYTHE, Cal, December 12.-
obert Wells, the seventeen-year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. c. E. Wells
who live southwest of Blythe, was
killed by the accidental discharge OF
a shot gun on the Craig ranch last
Friday just after noon.
The exact circumstances of the
fatal shooting will never be known
as the only eye witness, Sam Craig,
was some distance from the spot.
1t seems that young Wells was
ing in an empty wagon, holding the
gun by his side The horses turned
trifle too far, the wagon wheel
struck a post and the jar overbalanc-
ed Wells. He half jumped and half
fell to the ground dragging the gun
after him. Just what caused the dis.
charge is not known, but as he
struck the ground the left barrel OF
the gun exploded The shot entered
his right side below the armpit
Craig saw him stagger a few steps
and fall and by the time he had
reached there the boy was dead
The gun is an old double-barreled
hammer affair and it seems prob
able that the hammer caught on the
side board or wheel of the wagon.
1t is the same shot gun that caused
the death of a young rancher by the
name of Lyons three years ago not
far from the. spot where Wells was
killed.
Robert is the youngest boy of the
Wells family. He leaves both par
ents, five brothers and two sisters,
all but one of the brothers living in
the valley, to mourn his death. The
mother, who was sick at the time,
has been in a serious condition since
the accident.
Wells was a hard working lad and
has done much toward helping his
parents get the home place fixed UP.
He was strong and healthy and had
many friends in the valley where
he has lived the past three years
The funeral was held in Blythe
Sunday afternoon
Found Dead Near River.
After a search lasting five days a
posse of settlers from the lower val
ley found the body of Henry E. Tay-
