The Florence Tribune notes rising prospects with San Carlos dam plans and government reservoir projects. It cites Gen. J. F. Wilson’s inspection route and argues Florence will become a premier city in the territory, praising irrigation thinking and urging growth through stable schools and morals.
A San Carlos dam site is favored as most feasible storage option in a long letter from Whittemore citing U.S. Geological Survey work by J B Lippincott. The near San Carlos proposal would store about 240,000 acre feet at a cost around 1 million dollars, far less than the 2.6 million dollar Butte site.
Hon W B Stone, longtime Pinal county district attorney, chats at the Hollenbeck about congressional action to fund a dam at the Twin Buttes on the Gila river. The project would flood back waters for miles, irrigating thousands of acres in the Casa Grande valley, enable a road to bedrock, and support crops year round with stored water. Stone touts desert irrigation, summer yields, and potential statehood, describing the site as nature’s guide to dam construction. Also notes Mexico’s simple Diaz-led campaign climate and Florence’s ore freight prospects offering 12 per ton.
A collection of commentary by Hume and Sir Archibald Allison on silver as money. They warn that decreasing money weakens nations and falling prices bring misery, while increased money revitalizes labor, industry, and trade. They cite Rome, Spain, Greece, and Columbus as examples of monetary influence shaping history.
Pears offered at $1 per box forty pounds net with delivery to stage line office at Mess. The note also includes a testimonial thanking manufacturers of Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, stating it has saved many children from dysentery and cholera infantum and is for sale by Brockway's Pharmacy.
