INDIAN LAND TO
 BE RECLAIMED

County Agent J. w. Longstreth re- gently made a trip through the Colo rado Indian Reservation up the river from Yuma between Blythe and Par ker. He states that estimates are now being made by the Indian Service for the reclamation of the entire reser- vation of approximately 100000 acres at an estimated cost of $75.O0 per acre About 700 acres of long staple cotton are now being picked from land leas- ed from the Indians near Parker and the yield promises to be better than one-half a bale to the acre. Alfalfa is reported to show up we'll through poor irrigation practice results in Bermuda getting in within a few years. The land according to MT. Longstreth, is we'll adapted to the grain sorghums and the entire tract should be very productive under prop CT irrigation methods.

mining engineer who has visited the neighborhood any operations seriously undertaken would easily repay the necessary capital invested.
 Should financiers be ready to en- bark on such a venture as the exploi- tation of Persian mines, the question of both coal and transport would have to be seriously considered. Fortunat- ly coal does exist in many parts of the country and is at present being worked in at least two localities. Tabriz is supplied with coal from a neighboring mine, and Teharan coal has to large extent taken the place of wood as fuel. Coal in this latter city is undoubtedly expensive, as the mine fromw hich it is obtained is sit uated some distance from the city. Besides, the method of extraction is unsatisfactory. A hole is dug in the ground and the coal when reached is thrown to the surface, but when it is no longer practicable the excavation is abandoned and a fresh one started. Naturally. the best coal is never reached.
 Other Coal Beds-Transportation and
 Labor
 Coal is also to be found in close proximity to many of the rich mineral areas. It is known to exist in the Natanz Mountains; to the south, west and east ofIsfahan it lies exposed on the surface. The district of Kumisheh is especially rich in this mineral, and quite recently it has been discovered in the Curdish mountains bordering on the Bagdad- Hamadan road.
 The difficulty of transport is rapidly being overcome. Already, there are various schemes in hand for the con- struction of railways; in fact, quite a good start has been made. The recent operations in both the north and the south of Persia have shown the roads to be quite suitable for heavy motor traffic, consequently the importation of heavy machinery ought not to prove a very serious obstacle.
 In normal times the Persian laborer is paid from twelve to sixteen cents GU. S.) day. A slight advance in pay would insure the necessary labor especially if it should prove perma- nent. It is not difficult to prophecy that before many years have passed Persia will prove to be one of the mining countries of the world.--U. s. Commerce Reports.

GOVERNMENT L|BfRAuzES
 WAR RISK INSURANCE

To iberalize the conditions under which our former soldiers, sailors and marines may reinstate lapsed or can celed insurance carried with the Bu- reau of War Risk Insurance, Wash ington, D. C., new and important rulings have been made by Director R. G. Cholmeley-Jones, with the ap- proval of the Secretary of the Treas ury.
 Former service men have eighteen months from the date of their dis charge within which to reinstate their insurance upon these conditions: ::
 If discharged more than three months, the applicant must state in his application that he is in as good health as when discharged, no physi- cal examination being necessary. If discharged less than three months, he need not make a formal appli- cation nor a statement of health. In either case, he will be required to pay only two months premiums on the amount of insurance to be reinstated. One of the two premiums required to be paid covers the month of grace during which his insurance remained in force; the other premium is for the current month in which rein statement becomes effective. Prem iums for the months between are not required. A man whose insurance lapsed in January, 1919, and was re- instated in December, 1919, would pay only the January, 1919, premium (the month of grace, when he was protect ed) and the December or current premium.
 Check or money order should be made payable to the Treasurer of the United States and,, with the applica- tion, sent to the Premium Receipt section, Bureau of War Risk Insur- ahce, Washington, D. c.

TOTAL CASH RECEIPTS
 WAR SAVINGS SECURITIES

San Francisco, Cal. Jan. Total cash receipts from the sale of War Savings securities from the beginning of the movement in December 1917 to December 15, 1919 amount to $1,12S,- 480,731, according to telegram to Governor John U. Calkins of the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank from assistant Secretary of the Treasury R. c. Leffingwell announcing the Governors thrift program for 1920. It is expected that heavy Christmas sales of War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates this year will considerably sweel the total when the books are finally closed for the year on December 31.
 During the summer, sales of War Savings Stamps dropped somewhat below the high mark set during the war and immediately after the ar mistice, bu for the last five months there has been a steady monthly in- crease in the amount of these securi- ties sold, which, in the opinion of Treasury officials, prophecies contin- ual investment in Government secur- ities by the general public through out 1920.
 The 1920 War Savings Stamp will be larger than the 1919 stamp, and vii; be carmine in color, bearing the head of George Washington rather than Benjamin Franklin's bust. The Thrift Stamps will be the same, as will the Treasury Savings Certificat- es, which are issued in denominations of s1O0 and 5000. War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certifi- cates of the 1920 issue will mature January 1925.
 Prices of War Savings Stamps, be- ginning at $4.12 for January, will in crease monthly to $4.2S for the last month of the year, Treasury Savings Certificates selling in proportion. Both the Treasury Savings Certifi- cates and the War Savings Stamps pay four per cent interest compound ed every three months.
 The Treasury Department strongly advises the exchange of full War Savings Certificates, that is, twenty stamps affixed to folder, for Treas ury Savings Certificates, which are registered, thereby protecting the 1919 Treasury Savings Certificates will be available for exchange for War Savings Certificates of 1918 and 1919.

ISSUE PERMITS FOR 3 DAMS TO WATER D 200, 900 ACRES LAND

Permits for the development of water from the Verde and New rivers to cover approximately 100000 acres of land adjacent to Phoenix in a ter ritory that is said to be practically continuation of the Salt River valley are announced by w. s. Norveil, state water commissioner. .. . The permits are issued to the Para disc Verde Water Users association for the construction of three dams that will divert 451, 900 acre feet of water not otherwise appropriated, and the construction of the dam is to cost $5, 300 ,00O.
 The land to be irrigated consists principally of territory about 20 miles wide lying to the northward of the Arizona canal, and it may be viewed in comprehensive fashion from the parapet at the end of Central avenue.
 The first dam, to furnish 51,000 acre feet of water, is to be supplied from the New river, and is to cost about $800,000. The second dam, to take its supply from teh Verde river at Camp Verde is to cost about $3,- 100000. The third dam, to be sup piled from the Horshoe reservoir site on on the Verde is to cost about s2,ooo,-
 The law requires that work on all projects for which permits are grant ed must be started within one year from the date of the permits. The permit for the New river dam was granted two months ago, although just announced, so work on that pro- ject must be started approximately within ten months from this date.
