Iverybody that read the papers heard of the rush to the San Juan riverand of the reports of the fabulous rich dizgings found. The writer came here last January just as the rush was leaving, says a correspondent of the Denver Times. He found everything staked, buta very fow claims recorded, aud as hie had come to see_for himself he stayed until the locations had run out and then went to prospecting the ground anew. Enough was found to offer some encourage- ment to stay longer. Outof the hundreds hat come here only five stayed to prospect, 3 Mitchell, S. Abernathy, J. G. Lliott, Krantor and Melvin Démpsey.

To Open Yuma Reservation, The Yuma Indian reservation is to be cut up und divided among the Indians, writes a rrespondent of the San Francisco Chron- icles The commissioners to make the treaty, appointed by the gover.ment, are on the ground and at work. The 'ns of Yuma were a little puzzled when the announce- ment was made that the commission had been appointed upon a petition of the [n- dians, in which {t was also asked that the yemainder of their lands be disposed of and the proceeds used for furnishing them water for Irrigation. Few citizens knew thatan such petition had ever been circulated. and, moreover, it was stipulated in the act of congress granting tho right of way through the reservation to the Sonora Land and Canal company, that the canal company should furnish the Indians all the water nec- essary for irrigation and domestic purposes free of charge. It turns out thata petition was secretly circulated by an agent of the canal company, and that he succeeded in getting 100 signatures among the 1,160 In- dians. Upon this showing the act of con kress was passed, appointing the commission and appropriating §15,000 with which to de- fray its expenses. ‘The Yurma reservation 45,000 acres of land, Colorado river from the Pot Holes to the Mexican boundary line, barring out the ranches of Hall Hanlon and El Rio, which ocoupy the river front from the boundary line of Mexico up the stream for three miles, Giving to each of the 1,160 Indians ten acres, there would be about 84,000 acres remaining 10 be sold, which, at #0 an acre, a low price once the land is supplied with water for irrigation, would yield §1,670,000. This sum, (f devoted to the betterment of the Indians individually, s they wish, would give about 1,440 to each one, or evough to place them in eAsy circumstances for farming. It will be a fine thing for the canal com- ?lny if it succeeds in getting these lands, rom which it would derive a revenue of not less than $3,250,000, leaving $90,000 for cut- tiug up and dividing the tract. The citizens of Yuma do not object to this, provided the United States government will go a little further and treat other and just as desery- ing canal or irrigation projects in Yuma in the same way. There are two other com- panios that have speat as much or more money than the Sonora cowpany, which & fow months ago assumed the name of an- other irrigation project whose operatious are on the west side of the Colorado, and which is known as the Colorado River Irri- gation company. What may como out of the commissioners’ work is only conjecture, but the Yuma peo- fio feel that if one caual project is to be fos red by the general government all such ir- rigation projects should be assisted in the same way; that the government should not down Rincone canon, We contains about extending along the fight one and vhen turn around aud help an- other no more deserving.

There is littie doubt 1 the minds of the state officials that a powerful Michigan syn- dicato Is laying plans to secure, by question- able methods, possession of a largs portion of the valuable timber land in Shoshone county recently surveyed. The survey, which includes over 70,000 acres, was made by the government at the request of the stats land department to sat- isfy state land grants, and 1t is a signiticant fact that persons who, it is asserted, repre- sent the syndicate, followed closely on the heels of tho surveying party during all the long tramp through the timber. Tho timber is said by experts to be the finest in the United States. It includes white pine, fir, spruce, cedar and tamarack, and s0 thick are the trees it is said progress among them iu places is made with dificulty. A gentleman who has examined the belt of timber in question told a reporter recently that there were plenty of trees there four feet in diameter at the base that run up sheer 150 feet without a limb and without y verceptible decrease in the sizo in that tance. They look, he samd, as though they had been turned out by a latho. The survey of the Shoshone timber belt has not yet been oxist- sur- thronghout approved, but when it is there will be a grand rush for the land. The state is fortified against corporations by a lav’ giving it sixty days preference right of entry over all but bona fide settlers, The plan of the ate is, no doubt, to circum- vent this law by engaging individuals to settle on the land under the guise of being bona fide settlers, who, after acquiring title, will relinquish it to thé grasping monopoly. The charge is made that men have already been engaged to do this work. It is said there are already a large number of squatters seattered through tho timber, presumably hireiings of the syndicate, Gigantic Pipe Line Schome. Colonel J. W. Hartzell of this ecity, says the San Francisco Examiner, is at work on a water works scheme which, if carried out as planned, will result in giving Sonoma county a magnificent water system for road sprinkling, for supplying a number of towns in Mendogino and~ Marin counties with water, and in_causicg the expenditure of more than $1.000,000 for labor and material within the county. The undertaking isa bold one and contemplates the construction of a water syste.n having 1ts source near Ukiah, Mendocino county, and which will extend from that point to Cloverdalo, thence to Healdsburg, thence to Santa Ros, thence to Petaluma, and from thenco on'to San Rafael. Some time ago Colonel Hartzell secured for himself and associates a franchise from the Board of Supervisors granting them the vight to construct a line of water pipe, and the city of Santa Rosa, by resolution, has invited tho synaicatd to bulld to the muni- cipality. In the ordinance passed by the supervisors giving the vrojectors of the en- terprise their franchise it 1s stated that tho compuny will put in taps on its pipes wher- ever the county authorities shall find them necessary for road sprinkling purposes at its own expense. As the main pipe, when completed, will follow the main rond from Healdsburg here and from hero to Potaluma it can be seen that for road purposes the now water system will bo of Immense ad- vantage. Colonel Hartzell represents that tho capi tal for the successful carrying out of the gigantic enterprise has all beon secured in the cast and that the men who are at the back of it are satisfied that it is ono of the most feasible water supply schemes that lias boen conceived for some time.

A simple machive for making illuminating gas fron wood or coal has been perfected and patented by George K. Couls, who has been working for the Last six years on the in- vention, says the Spokane Nerald. The process is simplicity itself. A retort is placed 1n an ordinary heating furnace ina business block, vesidence, railroad train or steamer, and a stick of cord wood placed in it is charred mevely by the wuste heat of the furnace. The gas is carriod out to a purifier where it passes through u tunk of water, which wasnes it, und causes a deposit of all heavy particles, such as tar, in another tank beneath. I'hen 1t passes upward through @ patented vegetable compound, which enriches, strengthens and vurifies it. From this it passes through a holder, where it 18 stored for uso.

The gas, at the current price of # for cosl gas, is worth §4, the charcoal, at 20 conts a_bushel, 1s worth 2,00, and the tar is worth 23 cents,'so that these 6.8 in value. Mr. Couls has disposed of his patent to the Feonomio (3as company, a corporation recently organized under the laws of this state, with £570,000 capital stock. This com pany will in the near future place the new machine in this city and state, and subse quently extend its operations to every state and territory in the union.

It is fifty-two miles in length tending from Stevenson creel, at an eleva- tion of 500 teet, to Covis, 0n tho Pollack r way, twelve miles from Fresno, at an elev tion of 400 feet, says the San Francisco Chronicle. The flume in_its construction surmounts many hard engineoring difticulties, and for twelve miles is double, carrying 500 cubic feet of water per second for irrigation. This will bring 40,000 acres of new land under water. Many million feet of lumber will come down the flume annually. It is the largest flumo in California and may ulti- mately be built into Fresno.
