of life in the West in the days Of 40,
with an attack on a train of prairie
schoonerS by q band of Indians, a coun-
ter-attack by scouts, trapperS and
rangers, and a wild chase Of the redskins
by the United States cavalry. Then there
is a reproduction of famous battle of
the Spanish war with a correct repre-
sentation of battery of artillery going
into action and Shelling the enemy.
Pawnee Bill, the owner, proprietor,
leader and director of this show, is one
of the last of that adventurous type of
Western frOntierSmen which a half CEN
tury ago represented the vanguard of
civilization in this country. Born in the
state of Illinois, his early life was spent
on the frontiers; the front rank of civili-
zation claimed him in the days of. his
manhood until the westward march Of
the nation to the Pacific coast wiped out
our Western frontier; the railroads
usurped the occupations of the stage
driver, the scout and the guide; the set
tlement of Indian troubles left the Indian
fighter without an occupation, and the
hero of a hundred battles turned to more
peaceful pursuits. During his wild life
a skillful roundup of a band of horse
thieves won the admiration of the Paw
nee tribe Of Indians and he was for
maliy adopted as a Pawnee and made a
chief of the tribe. In private life Paw
nee Bill is Gordon w. Lille, and as man
ager of his big show and in other ca
pacities he has shown himself to be a
thorough business man. He is president
of the Arizona National bank, and is
interested in a number of successful
financial ventures. but his chief pleasure
and faVorite occupation is conducting
and participating in the mimic battles of
his Wild West show.

SILT FIELDS IN 4 DESERT
Thousands of ACres of Land in Southern California Deep
With Saline Crystals.

There Is a mystery about the desert
which is both fascinating and repellent,
Its heat, its dearth of water and Vege-
tation, it's seemingly endless waste of
shifting sands, the air of deSolation and
death which hoYers over it, all warn one
away, while the very mystery of the
region, the uncertainties of what lies
beyond the border Of fertility, tempts
one to risk its terrors for the sake of
exploration, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Strange tales come out of the desert.
Everyone who has ventured into it's vast
ness and returned has brought reports
of experiences or observations which are
fraught with deepest interest and which
tend to awaken the Spirit of adventure
in the listener.
The most mysterious, the most inter-
esting and the most famous of American
deserts is that which lies partially in
Southern California and partially in Old
Mexico. AS trackless as the Sahara, as
hot and sandy as the Great Arabian, It
contains mysteries which those deserts
cannot boast. Within its borders are the
great salt fields of Salton, which nave
no counterpart in the known world.
Lying like a vast field Of driven snow in
depression in the desert, 800 feet below
the sea level are thousands of acres of
pure salt, to 16 inches deep.
CONTINUOUS sALT-MAKING FIELD.
For seventeen years a portion of this
salt field has been worked and about 2,O]O
tons of salt have annually been taken
therefrom, and yet but about ten acres
of the field have been disturbed and the
supply upon that portion has not been
apparently diminished. From the earth
bubbles up brine from living springs and
the hot sun quickly takes up the water,
leaving the saline crystals, so that the
same ground Is worked over and over
again with equally fruitful results.
Another feature peculiar to the Colo
rado desert are the volcanoes, a region
Of about one square mile containing
hundreds of cone-shaped mounds of from
a few feet to 100 feet in diameter, which
spit hot, muddy water and emit sulphur
Gus vapors and steam which make the
place seem veritable gateway to hades.
There are other mysteries in the desert.
Amid its sands are gold and gems for
the fortunate finder and many are they
who have lost their lives in tha eearcn
for these treasures. lowering IN the
midst of the desert, too, is that phantom
not peculiar however, to this desert
the mirage. 1t is a never-ceasing won
der to the fortunate traveller who wants
not for water and knows his way across
the dreary waste, and 1t is never-ceas
ing torment to the thirsty wayfarer lost
in the vast solitude. Imagine, If you
can, the mockery to a thirst tortured
traveller of a ripping sheet of water with
its blue waves rolling ever in view but
ever receding, leaving only the burning
sands to the perishing one. Is it any
wonder that men go mad in this desert? :?
And yet, locked in the breast Of this
waste, is more fertility than is needed to
supply a continent with sustenance.

APPEAR

name carved it out of the sea. It is
