IS positive the lake will be permanent. The
channel from the river to the lake is from
one hundred feet to half q mile wide, and
of sufficient depth to carry an immense
body Of water. The water has deposited
vast quantities of seed and rich sandy loan
in the desert and hundreds of acres on the
border Of the lake are green with pastur-
age. Patton says the general effect OF the
overflow will be both detrimental and
beneficial While an immense amount Of
territory hitherto unproductive will be-
come productive by means of irrigation
from the lake, yet the moisture causes rains

Rye and Wheat Flour.

BERLIN, Aug. 17.-Mixed rye and wheat
-four was offered for the first time on the
produce exchange to-day in large quanti-
ties. The mixture was much cheaper than
rye -four.
Feverish activity prevailed in shipping
rye at all Russian ports. Eight thousand
tons have left St. Petersburg in eight days
The German Reichs bank has decided to
lend money on corn to two:thirds instead
of onehalf its value in order to facilitate
purchases by small dealers. The Reichs-
zaneiger says the government is confident
there is sufficient wheat to take the place
Of rye and reduction of duties would only
enrich foreign dealers without affecting
the price of bread.
The whole government press reflects their
views and declare the high prices are due
to bourse speculation, not to scarcity and
that the ukase would have been issued
sooner had Germany reduced the grain
duties. 1t is significant, however Count
Kanitz, q leading protectionist, pleads for a
temporary suspension of duties.

Fire in the LouisyiIle Mime Ieadv,,lo

LEADvILLE, Colo, Aug. 17-ISpecial tel
egram to The HERALD. "A terrible confia-
grafton originated at the Louisville shaft
on the east slope of Iron Hill yesterday
afternoon. A can of oil at the 5OO-foot
level upset and at once took fire from q
torch near by. The workings of the Iouis-
vile mine are connected by underground
drifts with the Iron, Silver Cord and other
properties in the near vicinity. 5y which a
strong draft is always in progress at the
Louisville. When the fire started q sheet
OF flame instantly shot up the shaft of 500
feet, striking against the ceiling of the
shaft house. Thirteen men were in tho
underground working below the fame
at the time. A number of mon
were sent into the Iron mine
across the hill with orders to proceed
through the Louisville and find every man
in the mine before returning, which was
successfully accomplished and the men
escaped with but little difficulty. By this
time the Louisville shaft and engine house

enveloped In flames and line of hose was
laid from the Silver Cord across the hill.
The water was run from the Iron mine TO
the Silver Cord, from which it was pumped
to the Louisville, but the flames had gained
such Roadway that oceans of water could
hardly end the confagration. The shaft
houses were totally destroyed The flames
were still raging tonight and will probably
only die out when they have eaten away
all the inhammable material under ground.
The connections between the Louisville
and other mines have all been closed up to
keep the flames from spreading to the ad-
joining properties. Some nine bulkheads
In all have been put in. The damage to the
Louisville properly will reach about $780,

Davis will case was resumed to- day. DR..
Hagan, an expert in chemistry and inks,

was not signature but a tracing. This is
the result of an examination of the docu-
ment by microscope. The examination
was lengthy and minute, but these are the
most important points.
The hearing in the case of the accused
Penrose murderers was resumed. Nothing

Heavy Storms In Southern California

SAN BERNARDINo, Cal, Aug. H.
Another heavy storm occurred in the
mountains east of here to-day, Redmond's
motor road being washed out in several
places. 1t is now generally accepted fact
that the continued storms and sultry
weather since the 1st of July has been the
result of the flooding of the Colorado
desert. If this continues permanently it
will make more waters in the mountains
for irrigation purpose, but the summer
climate will be less pleasant.
