Death Valley, over in California
and extending into Nevada, has
long been known as one of the worst
desert spots on the American con
tinent. The reason for this is that
the country surrounding it is also
a desert and the further into that
country you get the worse it is
found to be- In the low rolling
mountains surrounding the valley
plenty of water has been found and
now that the surrounding country
is being opened up to the miner,
prospector and rancper Death Val
lev has lost its trrrors. In the low,
er end of the valley there is one of
the finest ranches in the state of
California and roaming through the
foothills of this dread spot are
thousands Of head Of cattle The
recent finding of big nitrate depos
its in Death Valley again brings
up the wierd tales Of the terrors Of
that section in the newspapers of
the country The valley proper is
but twelve miles wide but extends
from Soda Lake on the south to
the Armagosa river, Nye county,
Nevada, on the north, more than
one hundred miles The valley is
broken by ridges and rolling foot
hills Along the Armagosa are
great beds of salt, soda and nitrates.
The drifting sands is constantly
changing the contour of the coun-
try, but as the rancher encroaches
on this sandy desert its outlines be-
come more stable, and it will not
be many years until people will
wonder how it was ever possible
for prospectors to meet death from
thirst in that country. 1t was but
a few years ago that many people
perished on the plains of Mohave
county, and yet is known. to be the
best watered region in the south
west.

When the next issue of the MIN
Err is sent out the election in this
county will have become thing Of
the past. 1t then behooves the peo-
pie to settle down and work for the
advancement of the county's inter
ests. Elections may stir up the
people to action in support of their
ia, orites, but these same people are
not always to be depended on when
it comes to making IL stir in behalf
of the upDuilding of the county, in
which they are so vitally interested
The united work of one hundred Of
the citizens of this county would do
wonders in the advertising of our
latent resources, the building of
roads, the exploitation of mines,
and the general building up of the
internal business interests of the
county. Sectional differences keep
the people from getting together,
but they ought to realize that the
interests of the whole people are
identical and that what will benefit
one section will in a measure ben
eft all the other sections of the
county. Investment of capital at
Gold Road is materially felt all
over the county, because capitalists
will not confne themselves entirely
to one section of a county a good
thing is just as good one place as
another and capital recognizes no
one section in making investments.
So let us pull together for old Mo-
have, the greatest mineral section
of the Globe.

Owing to the high price of coal
copper production is falling off,
while at the same time the price in
the open market is also on the de-
cline. The reason for the decline
is attributed to the fact that no
manufacturer is willing to put
money into the commodity without
the assurance that the supply of
coal will meet the demands of the
manufacturer at all times this win
ter, which is not among the posi-.
bilities.

The production of iron ore in the
United States is by far greater this

until the middle Of next month.
The mines of the Gogebeg range is

within year they will be produc

The Salt Lake Mining Review,
always careful ard conservative in
its utterances and observations, but
which in its growth and influence
has demonstrated itself power for
the good of the mining industry IN
this inter-mountain section, has
announ ed that it will deviatc from
its former fixed policy of "everv
issue an improvement" and will
issue a great big Special Holiday

of the geology of the various camps
of Utah, written by the ablest
scholars in the school of the science,
and each article to be accompanied

ton described. is publishers an
nounce that it will be l50 or more
pages in size, and 10000 in num-
her. As it will devote considerable
of its space to mines and meritor-
ious properties, we would advise
those of our friends who have good
properties to correspond with The
Mining Review, and, while helping
themselves and the Mining Review
they will present this section and
its possessions to those who are to-
day making mining one of the
greatest industries in the world.

1t is said that the fire in the
United Verde mine is now under
control and yet no effort is being
made to resume work on the great
property, From this it would APP
pear that the surmise of the MINER
regarding the nature of the shut
down was the correct one. The
fact that there has been a great
deal of agitation amonl the union
miners of tne camp and that these
agitators were fomenting trouble in
the union circles was to our mind,
the direct cause of the closing of
both mine and smelter and the
turning ava, of hundreds of men.
lark cares very little for the min
er, but to boost himself into the
senatorial chair he held out the
olive branch to the men at Butte,
and at the same time force the
Amalgamated to grant like con-
cessiOns to thousands, where but Il
few hundred were affected in the
Clark mines To make the matter
appear regular Clark had to grant
the same rights to his employees at
Jerome. Now the matter has gone
too far and he made the fire an ex-
cuse to get rid Of the rampant ele-
ment of the miners union.

1t is estimated that the fund for
irrigation purposes from the sales
of land will have reached the sum
of 15,0D0,000S by the first of Janu-
ary. The land sales have been won
derfulIy large during the past three
months and when the reclamation
of large tracts of irrigable lands be-
comes a certainty hundreds of
thousands of acres will be pur-
chased by actual settlers The
farmers OF the old, worn out farms
in the east are awakening to the
fact that they can get better results
with one-half the work from an
irrigated farm in the SOU Invest and
they are now taking advantage of
the opportunities offered by the
government and are homesteading
desirable pieces of land tn. It will
soon come under ditch or reser.
yoir. Arizona will get big per-
centage of eastern immigration and
all the desirable lands will be COB
bled up in few years We would

The coal strike in the Pennsvl-
vania anthracite region is not by
any means settled, as the operators
are demanding terms from the men
that the workers are unable 20 com
ply with. In many parts of the
districts the miners are still out
and may continue to refuse TO work
until the commission settles the
dispute, and if the settlement is in
favor of the operators they may re-
fuse to abide the result Their con
sent to arbstration was onl ~ OBJ
tanned when they believed that the
president might use some arbitrary
method in the settlement and also
with the knowledge that the people
of the country We're unqualfiedly y
in favor of the men aud that the
next congress might be compelled
by press of public opinion to make
a law governing the production and
handling of fuel coal The men at
the head of the great coal enter
prises care no more for public
opinion than do the rulers of the
Fejee Islands, so far as that public
opinion does not effect their money

the public might take things into
their own hands they are perfectly
willing to make concessions The

Stepped Against Hot Stove.

A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson, when
getting his usual Saturday night bath,
stepped back against hot stove which
burned him severely. The child was
in great agony and his mother could
do nothing to pacify him. Remember
ing that she had bottle of Cham ber-
lain's Pain Balm in the house, she
thought she would try it. In less than
half an hour after applying it the child
was quiet and asleep, and in less than
two weeks was we'll. Mrs Benson Is a
well known resident of Kellar, Va.
