The friends OF forestry In Minnesota
will be interested in the bulletin just be-
ing issued by the bureau of forestry of
the government on the Diminished Flow
of the Rock River, in Wisconsin and LII
nois..'
+ The river rises just south OF Green Bay
and flows southwark thru the lower part
sof4 wisconsin and on into Illinois. There
ere a good many, mills and manufacture
ling plants along the river depending for
their motive power upon its flow, and the
gradual diminishing of the flow is the
moving cause for the government inspec-
ton. .
Sometimes in summer the upper trib-
5utaries of the river have run dry alto
gether in recent years. and, should this
continue. much damage must result to
the various industries dependent upon the
river. The bulletin shows. also. that the
agricultural interests Of southeastern Wis
consin including extensive pasture and
cultivated lands, rely to some extent upon
these sources for sustained moisture Of
the soil, particularly during seasons Of
scant rainfall.
About sixty years ago the region sur
rounding the headwaters of the Rock river
and extending down its course was COW
cred with a. thick growth of hardwood
| timber. The area Of the region was, APP
proximately, Is per cent forest, 20 per
cent prairie and marshy meadows, ard
/ per cent water To-day the forest COW
ers only 80 per cent, the cultivated land
81 per cent, swanps, water and unculti-
waited meadows 13 per cent Since the
year 1885 the rainfall Of the region has
/ steadily decreased, the fluctuations In the
/ flow Of the river having been caused
largely by changes in the forest region.
EyaporatIons In Forests.
1t Is shown in the report that at Nancy,
France outside Of a forest five times as
much water is evaporated during the

area Of the Rock river has therefore had
IAN unfavorable effect on the stream and
i Its tributaries.
! In addition to this. the government ex-
I,perts find that the character Of the for

COMMON CLAY
Turned Into Fine Anthracite by Ex-

For the purpose of interesting Mil

turned sticky red clay from Cudahy
into smokeless coal.

looking bottles, graduates and bas-
kets of clay, figured in the expert

chunks of clay Of the different species
and put it in separate pals. and one

mitted to remain untouched for some
time, and when they were finally
opened there was shiny, black, crisp
substance, that looked like anthracite
and which the demonstration said costs
but $1.05 a ton.
fifty tons Of clay, forty-one tons OF
coal can be made thru the chemical

percolated mass about twenty-nine
pounds OF aluminium.

A CHURCHILL
BONANZA.
Ore Marvelously Rich
and Of Great Extent

Hon. |. H. Kent Of Saltwater arrived
here today on his way to Reno to at
tend the closing exercises Of the Me-
vada State University, his daughter,
Miss Florence. being among the grad
yates Of that institution. having taken a
course in liberal arts.
Mr.. Kent brought with him news Of
one the greatest mineral discoveries
made in Nevada and one that will re-
/ suit in bringing the vast mineral re-
sources oil Churchill County TO the
worlds knowledge.
The people interested in the new
find are Senator w. w. Williams Of
| Churchill and a number Of associates.
The find itself is a ledge OF copper
ore 40 feet wide and ten claims, or
$4,000 feet long.
Competent assayers give the ore ~
per cent copper with some gold and
silver. Mr.. Kent does not want to be
understood as saying all the ore of the
ledge is Of this value, but that there is
plenty Of that quality Of ore.
The find is 10 miles southeast Of
West Gate, near Bells Flat, ten miles
from Eagleville.
Senator Williams has had years of
experience in mining, and yet he is
excited over the prospects, facts them
selves strong enough to make US and
people who know him conclude that
the new find is a wonder.
Wood and water are scarce In the
vicinity and that is another thing that
makes us believe the ore is very ex-
tensive.
Mr.. Kent has samples with him to
be tested in Reno.
