where many centuries ago in the icI
age gigantic masses of snow collected
ard gradually CONCEALED. moved to-
ward the plains and ground out the
wonderful canons, which are the de-
light of the sightseers.. These ice
plants, in the opinion of Weather
Observer Brandenburg. may be re-
vived, and the conditions which have
been threatened recently will be
known no more.
Mr.. Brandenburg has talked with
practical mining engineers of many
years of experience, and these men
agree with him in the idea The plan
of Mr.. Brandenburg is set forth briefly
in the weather report for the month
Of June, which was distributed yes
terday. The leading paragraph i'll the
report has the following:
The flow of our streams during
the summer and fall could be nate
rally improved at comparatively
small cost. In the mountain districts
there Is constanil and generous flow
under the ice in all the small streams
during the winter no matter how cold
the weather. To store this water fol
use during the following summer il,
Is suggested that after suJab,e shell
tered places have been selected the
water be broughB to the surface and
allowed to spread over the ice. Even
though only small proportion of the
flow be utilized immense fields of ice
could thus be formed and if the site
be projected from the westerly winds
the gradual melting would maintain
good flow throughout the season
when water is generally scarce cas-
of the mountains. 1t is believed t. al
concerted movement in this direc
ton would prove profitable"

nothing. Addressing the chief of the fire

MEETS THE ISSUE.
Secretary Hitchcock's Answer to Ap
plication for Mandamus.

E. A. Hitchcock, Secretary Of the Interior,
has filed through United States Attorney
Gould. Assistant Attorney Classic. and At
torney s. Chapman, a detailed answer
to the amended petition Of the Cosmos Ex-
ploration Company, praying for manda-
mus to compel him to issue patents under
the lieu land law for certain valuable oil
lands in Kern county, Cal.
In stating the grounds for refusing to
issue the patents the Secretary says that
not only did the petitioner not have good
title to the lands which it proposed to re-
linquish in lieu of the lands selected, but
also that in making application, the selec-
tor wholly failed to make an affidavit that
the lands were not mineral and not occupied
under the customs Of miners. These affida-
Wits were necessary, he says, to the proper
execution of the lieu land law, and failure
to make them prevented the selector's title
from vesting, and, in fact, before it could
vest the lands were discovered to be val
liable mining lands and SO not open to Sc
lection.
The Secretary adds that a suit between
the rival claimants involving the same ques-
ton is now pending before the Supreme
Court of the United States, and for that
reason. also. no mandamus should issue.
