TWO KINDS OF PLOUGHS.
PioughinE Lands In the Colorado Desert
Only Salt Pioughs Used There Before.

An irrigation scheme Is being carried
out in the Colorado Desert, southeastern
California. II is expected In few years.
to reclaim about 900 900 acres OF land
In this part Of California and adjacent
regions in Arizona and Mexico The
water il derived from the Colorado River;
about so 900 acres will be ready for cultiva-
ton early next year. Crops have already
been grown on 800 acres and the water
introduced on another small area has en-
abled the first immigrants TO start fne
crop Of grass
Thus the ordinary plough is being intro
duced into part of the Colorado Desert. .
Another and an unusual sort Of plough has
been used in the Salton Lake basin. the
lowest part Of the desor, about three hundred
feet below tho level of the sea. II Is a plough
for brcak king up the layer Of salt that covers
the old lake bed. Passengers on tho South
eru Pacific Railroad skirt the eastern side
of this salt field. The layer Of salt, which
has the appearance of SHOW, Ii essentially
rock salt, covers about LOO acres ana has
lately figured in the newspapers on account
of "A legal dispute as 10 the ownership
The heat in this low tract OF land II so
intense that the thermometer STANDS al
$50 degrees on the hottest days In June,
The reason for this IL that mountains on
ali sides prevent cool breezes from reaching
the basin and the low plain IL so exceedingly
hot that white men cannot work out under
the sun. So the salt works are carried
on chiefly by Indians.
The salt layer is broken up by plough
which is hauled by cable connected with
an engine Indians follow after the plough
piiing the salt into HEAPS, which are carried
10 the salt mill, where the product Is pre-
pared for market Several grades OF salt
are prepared and II il used Tor the table.

NO FRENCH MINERS STRIKE.
Cooperation Of the british Miners Could
Not BE Secured.

Special Cable Despdieh 10 The SUN
Dover, Nov. I4-Mr. Benjamin Pickard.
M. p, and President Of the Miners Fedora
ton Of Great Britain, has had a conference
here with French delegation, including
some members Of the Chamber Of Deputies,
regarding proposed general strike by the
Pas de Calais miners.
The delegation tried to secure the CO.
operation of the British miners TO prevent
the expectation OF coal IL the strike occurs.
The conference, which lasted several hours,
was private.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Pickard did not
encourage the hope Of British miners
strike. He said. however, that the British
miners sympathized with their French
brethren in trying to secure an eight-hour
day, and would probably help them Pc
cunarily.
II s believed that the Frenchmen will
not strike now as their success is not likely
without British cooperation. Moreover
a strike would transfer the Pas de Calais
trade to Great Britain.

ANTIQUITY or STONEHENGE.
Implements Indicate That MonOliths Were
Built Before 1900 u. e.

Special Cable Despatch TO The SUN.
LONDON, Nov. IA striking discovery
has been made during excavations which
we're necessary to raise one Of the mono
lths in the famous prehistoric group at
Stonehenge in Wiltshire into an upright
position. The men engaged in the work
have found numerous neolithic implements,
which had evidently been used in cutting
and sauaring the stones, and. when blunted
had been turned into the bedding on which
the stones are supported.
The discovery is held to prove that the
unique spectacle of Stonehenge is anterior
TO the Bronze age and that the structure still
visible was certainly built before 1900 b. c.
