Masked Pitfalls Are Frequently Found
In the Desert
Curious but dangerous freaks OF ma
ture frequently found in the desert of
Arizona are called sumideros by the
Mexicans and Indians. They are
masked pitfalls of quicksand that occur
in the dry plains and are covered with
a treacherous crust of clay that has
been spread over them in fine particles
by the wind and baked dry by the sum-
The peculiar properties of the soil re-
tain all the moisture drained into them
after the infrequent rains, and allow it
to be filtered to unknown depths, SO
that man or a horse or a COW or
sheep that once steps upon that de-
ceptive crust instantly sinks out of
sight beyond hope OF rescue. The
sumideros are on level with the sur
face OF the desert. There is no danger
signal to mark them. and their surface
cannot be distinguished by the Or
dinary eye from the hard clay that sur
rounds them. They occur most fire.
quently in the alkali-covered flats, and
are often fifteen or twenty feet In d.
ameter. Sometimes they are only lit
tie pockets or wells that a man can
leap across, but the longest pole has
never found their bottom. A stone
thrown through the crust sinks to un-
fell into one of them was rescued.
They account for the mysterious dis
appearance of many men and cattle.

was made that the disease was slowly
spreading, and that since 1870 not fewer

"a wilful and Malicious Lie"

Miss Anna Egap, late Superinten-
dent of the indian school at Duck
Valley, is in town. She was seen by
an INDEPENDENT reporter this after
noon and had but little to say about
the present condition of affairs at the
agency, She was indignant at the
charges made against her in May
hugE's letter and pronounced them
w1lful and malicious lies, especially
the charge that she was tried and
found guilty Of perjury at Santa Fe
N. NJ, in 1895. Her eyes flashed as
she read the charge and she declared
that Mr.. Mayhugh would have to an
swer for it. 1t seems strange that a
convicted felon would be retained in
the Indian service and meet with the
appreciation of the authorities at
Washington, as Miss Egan has Ger.
tainly done. Her transfer to the
klamath Agency distinctly states
that she is transferred and promoted.
The U. S. Government doesn't gener-
ally treat convicted felons the way
Miss Egan has been treated. She
will leave for the west on No. 2 to-
night on thirty days leave Of alb
sence with pay. She is to report at

The Stock Inspector.

Governor Sadler has appointed Sol
Hip live stock inspector. The act
under which the appointment was
made provides that the inspector shall
be of recognized skill and ability and
shall devote his time to the investi-
CATION of the nature, causes and the
remedies for the diseases Of horses,
mules, sheep, swine, cattle and other
domestic animals. It is evidently the
intention of the law that the Inspector
should. be man skilled in the dis.
eases of livestock. If this is true it
is difficult to see new Mr.. Hip can
fill the position as greater part of
his life has been devoted to merchan-
dizing. He owns no live stock now
and probably knows as little about
their diseases as the editor of the In
DEPENDENT. But then this should
not disqualify him from drawing
down the salary of 500 month. A
generous legislature, lavish with the
peoples money, provided for the Of
flee and gave the Governor authority
to fill it. Then, too, Mr.. Hip was
wheedled out Of the Orphans Home
and the position of bookkeeper at the
Asylum and political promises must
be kept even if the people have to
dig up the money to pay the the SAL
aries Of useless officials
In this connection the reasons for
the Appointment as given by the Gov
ernor in an interview should be stat
ed. The Governor says that the far
mers In the western part Of the state
who raise hay to sell urged the ap.
pointment of the inspector in order
that cattle from California could be
shipped into the State 10 consume
the surplus product. Unless an in
spector was appointed cattle could
not be shipped INTO the State under
the quarantine regulation now in
force and there would be no market
for the surplus hay Of the rauchers in
the western part of the State. The
Governor frankly says that the stock
men were opposed to the appoint
ment being made and claims that the
only injury that can possibly be done
to the stockmen of eastern Nevada
will be the money they will have to
put up to help pay the salary of the
inspector.
So far as Mr.. Hip ls concerned, the
INDEPENDENT congratulates him
upon his appointment. He is an old
resident Of the State and possesses
the requisite ability to draw down
his salary every month. So far as
the man Is concerned, no better ap-
pointment could have been made.
