TIE NEVADA DESERTS.
Government Experts Discover That
They Can BE Reclaimed in Large
Part by Irrigation.

The irrigation possibilities of the
arid west, especially that. part of it
included in the great interior basin,
once called the great American desert,
are daily becoming more apparent
Surveys for reservoir sites reveal the
fact that there are many locations
where water can be cheaply stored and
used for power and irrigation. Other
surveys show large tracts of good
farming land favorably located for
watering from these storage reser-
voirS.
A more detailed study is being made
of the amount of water each water
shed will furnish, especially those on
which there are good reservoir sites,
and the losses of water from each. I'm
der the direction of Mr.. L. Il Taylor,
resident photographer of the geologi-
cal survey at Reno. New, Is new stream
gaging stations have been established
in Nevada and eastern California.
Three of these are on Walker river and
branches. one on Carson river.
six on Truckee river and tributaries
and four on the Humboldt and its trib-
utaries. The run-off data from these
and the other eight gaging stations
on these streams, when they cover
period sufficiently long 80 include the
two extremes of run-off, will be of
great value in determining the irriga-
tion possibilities and designing the
works on each. A dozen rain cages are
to be located at characteristic places
in this section. These, with the II al
ready in use there, will, with the aid
of the run-off data, render ascertain
able the ratio of precipitation to run
off, and thus enable engineers to COM
pute, from rainfall records, the run
off from adjacent auxiliary water
sheds. Evaporation from the surface
and fluctuations of the surface level
of some of the larger lakes are being
measured, and losses incident to stor-
age of large bodies of water and losses
from small bodies of running water are
to be studied. During the last season
Mr.. Taylor has been assisted by Prof.
E. c. Murphy, of Cornell university.

BY JAMES S. EVANS

ID EFORE Lieut.. Quigley had been at
ID Durant for a week the guests of the
springs had settled is in their minds
that he was hopelessly in love with
Anna Spraggins. He showed his feel
ings in every movement of his hand
some frame; in every look of his clear
eyes; in every step of his military feet
The idle resort had suffered from ennui
for months. There had been no love
making scenes, no maidens who were
looking for Lotharios; no boys spying
the fields for girls with golden hair.
The season had been tamely dull.
Therefore, when Quigley went to the
Edwards house and registered under
the name of Hines and the next day
meeting Miss Spraggins, the real ro-
nance of the season commenced. And
the occupants of the cottages and
guests of the hotel were not long in dis
covering the fact.
well, they make happy-looking
couple anyway" said Mrs. Wilcox to
Mrs. Fielding.
"She's little bit too thin" said Mrs.
Fielding. "A few pounds of flesh on
her wouldn't hurt" Mrs. Fielding
was widow-young, pretty and rich.
She had the marriage fever again, and
had noticed the handsome lieutenant
as soon as he had arrived. She was not
averse't to his attentions, but Quigley
had given her scant notice. "And be-
Sides" continued the lady, "she is sim
ple-minded-quite girlish, you know"
Quigley and Miss Spraggins were
then walking across the lawn. Quigley
showed his features well. He was the
ideal soldier. To see him walk was to
imagine soldier, in fun possession Of
his courage, fearing nothing, walking
unheedingly amongst flying bullets.
His mission to Durant was of a secret
nature. Therefore he had registered

A. UNIQUE DEED.
Son of an Illinois Farmer Promises
to Care for His Aged Parent
in Odd Terms.

There has just been filed in the cir
cult clerks office of Perry county, Ill,
a deed from father to son which con-
tains some unusual provisions. John
Matecki, Sr., conveys to his son, John
Matecki, Jr., 40 acres of land for $500
and the following considerations each
year:
Four bushels of corn.
Five bushels of winter potatoes.
Two trips to Nashville in two7horse
wagon.
Two hundred pounds of hog meat.
Fifty bushels of wheat.
Free fuel.
In addition the son is to provide one
pint of sweet milk each day if neces-
sary, free pasture for one COW, and
zone iron COW" and chickens.
If the grantor is i'll the son must
provide doctor and if the grantor APP
pears to be dying the son is to bring
priest.
Upon the death of grantor the son is
to give half the amount of provisions
to the grantor's widow, Katarzeens
Matecki.

mo one knows me here" he said to
himself. "It makes little difference
what name take. care nothing for
society. Of course, lieutenant in the
army cuts something of figure in
society, but 1 want none of it here.
When 1 get through with my business,
it's back to Washington"
1t was the following morning after
his arrival that he met Miss Spraggins,
chit of girl with face as beautiful
as q dream. She was dressed in mus
lin, and around her neck was a scarf
as bright as the rays of the sun. Quig-
lev was lost at once. He attempted to
put her out of his mind, but the more
be endeavored the greater became his
love for her. When he had met her, he
disregarded all orders from the capt.
tai to return there. He feigned sick
ness, he telegraphed unreasonable
stories to his superior officer; he did
everything that he could to insure his
stay at Durant until he had told Miss
Spraggins of his love. The third day
after he had met her they were seated
on a bench, far removed from critical
eyes.
Men are not genuine she went on
to tell him. "They are heartless, I'M
real and dishonest when it comes to
dealing with the passions of women
All a man wants from woman these
days are embraces. He will promise
his soul for kiss. Then he goes to his
room laughing; and the next morning
forgets her.

The Foolish Suicide.

A New York man committed suicide
because he was afraid he had Bright's
disease, but it was found when the doc
tors examined him that he didn't have
it and probably never would have been
afflicted with any such malady. This
shows, says the Chicago Record-Her-
aid, how unwise it is to be hasty re-
garding these matters.

COPPER QUEEN HOTEL

There is one institution of which tht city has every reason to feel proud and that is the Copper Queen hotel
 A handsome structure of itself, il attracts the attention of the visitor from an exterior point of view, but it is of the interior and its manage ment that we would speak at this time Everything that would add to the com fort of the guest has been provided The rooms are large and airy. They are handsomely furnished. with the very best that money can purchase.
 Large and convenient offices with writing tables, are provided, billiard tables and pool tables for recreation and pastime. lavatories and all the appuItenances that are furnished by any first-class hotel in the country. The dining room is spacious, while the snowy white linen upon the tables whets the appetite. The cuisine Is under the supervision of an accom- plished chef, whose handiwork tickles the palate of the hungry. This is a most essential thing in this country, for the strenuosity of climbing Bis bees mountains is very apt to create first-class demand for good, sub stantial things to eat. It is pleasure to say that there is nothing permitted to be placed before the guest of the Copper Queen that is not of the very highest quality and order The man. agement will be found extremely cour- teous and obliging, while all of the at tendants are always on the lookout to see that the comfort of the guests is amply provided for. The only trouble with the Copper Queen is that a much larger edifice is required to accommo- date those who visit the city, and It is suggested that visitors take this into consideration and when possible have their rooms engaged ahead. When they arrive they will find no place where they will be made to feel more at home than at Bisbee's hand some and commodious hotel, the Cop, per Queen.

"A TAX COMPROMISE.
THE UNITED VERDE SETTLES ITS FIGHT WITH YAVALAI COUNTY
Instead of Proloneing the Tax Suit Through Several Courts a compro- mise Is Effected.

| Prescott, Ariz.. July 25.-H. J. Al | len, of the United Verde Copper com
 pany. was yesterday granted an order
 on Treasurer Storm by the board of supervisors, to cancel the delinquent
 sale of the United Verde property at | Jerome, upon the payment of s36. .210. The property was assessed at s4S,- GOO. which the big Jerome company refused to pay. and the case has been fought in the courts until the present i time. the settlement on the basis of 36,000 being in the nature of a com promise.
 | is said that Treasurer Storm dis regarded the order. of the board to cancel the record on his books. where it appears that the property of the United Verde company has been sold for taxes. Instead, he endorsed on the face of the receipt given to Mir Allen for s36 900. that the money was received by order of the board of su- pervisors.
 The action of the board has met with condemnation from some sources. while from others it has met with hearty approval. On one hand the case had been won in the lower court by the county, their action in refusing to lower the assessment of s4S,O0O be- ing thus sustained. On the other hand if no compromise had been effected, the county would much longer have been kept out of the money and prob ably would have lost in the end, as The big copper company would of course. have never given up the fight
