How Water Came in the Desert Artsr .
Chlld'a PRAYER

child's Prayer.
A pioneer of lS49 in the Hartford
Coardnt says: In the early fifties party
of emigrants on their way 10 the gold
fields of California by the southern route
via the Gila River, crossed the Colorado
by the ferry left by Graham in 1918 ~and
struck out on the desert for the land of
promise. The trail was well defined by
abandoned wagons and the bones OF
horses, mules, and human beings. Strug.
Cling through the yielding sand, the ther.
mometer at 120 degrees, wheels falling
apart, animals dying from heat and
thirst, they on the second night ous
halted some 10 miles from Cookies Well,
with the water in their kegs exhausted.
Tradition states that little 10 year old
girl was heard praying, in one of the
wagons, for water. Ii states that in her
childlike faith she said: ~0h, good Heav-
emily Father, know that have been a
very naughty, naughty girl; but. OIL
dear, am SO very thirsty and mamma,
papa, and the baby all want TO drink so
much. Do, good God, give us water and
will never, never be naughty again
The gaunt, half starved, desperate
men gathered around the wagons, dis
cussing how and what movement to save
their lives and their dear ones, with no
thought of gold now, and listened to the
humble petition. One voiced the rest
and said, May God grant itl" Soon the
voice sounded clear in the silent night.
-Oh, mother, mother, get me water; oh,
can hear it running; oh, do get some
for baby and me. They thought her
delirious from her sufferings, when sud-
denly babel of sounds broke forth from
the oxen and mules, all frantic and en-
deavoring to break loose from the wagon
poles. A rustling noise called their at
tention to slight depression near the
wagons, and on investigating the cause
they found water gushing out of the
sand, sweet clear, but warm Their suf-
ferings were over, and they reached the
mines, better and wiser for this interpo-
sition, as they firmly believe, of Divine
Providence.
This spring continued to flow, running
due north for 20 miles, then was lost in
the sand. In places it was over two miles
wide and from four to 20 feet deep. But
the memory of the New River, +" that
was caused by sand bar below Yuma,
will long be remembered by survivors of
the thousands benefited by it in 1s50-'5l.

Il. s. Hunton, one of the leading mine
owners of Colorado, says that electricity
opens up new era in the production Of
silver. The reason of this statement is
that many of the high mountain mines
have been valueless because of the expense
Of transporting fuel to them. Now
through the utilization of water power
with the electric motor these mines can be
operated cheaply, and notable increase
of output may be looked for. So evident
is this fact that there has already sprung
up demand for electrical mining ma
chinery in Mexico, and our American
electrical manufacturing companies are
now sending large quantities Of apparatus
thither.
