It Is claimed that the constant use of giant powder will ultimately pro duce rain at any season of the year, if the use of this explosive is per sisted in. A party of stockmen last summer in Oklahoma success fully demonstrated this in a section where no rain had fallen for over two years, but the experiment consumed nearly thirty days and cost several hundred dollars. Since the locating of several grading camps of the :. F. F. & F. railroad to the north of Prescott few miles constant bom- barding has been kept up since last January in the Point of Rocks and several thousand pounds of powder has been used in blasting immense cuts through the above section. At intervals in the past two months immense clouds have been lowering over this section only to pass away without any benefit being derived in moisture, and among old timers it was generally the belief that a winter similar to that of '7S was to be again experienced, one of perpet- ual sunshine, in shor., and without an ounce of rain.
