A A OF SKULLS.

On June Is one million acres Of land
stretching from the Mohave Desert to
to the Colorado River we're thrown
open to entry for homeseekers by the
United States Government. This land
may be taken up either under the
Desert Land Act or as homesteads
in one-hundred and -sixty-scre tracts.
The San Francisco Argonaut says OF
this land /:
We wish TO warn all intending sets
tiers to let this land alone. There is q
good deal Of talk about making the
desert blossom as the rose" Some
deserts blossom, but not this D No
body will ever do more for this desert
bar Mother Nature has done. The
only blooming that nature has brought
about there is that its freckled bosom
blossoms with large alkali pustules or
pimples, ~punctuated with sagebrush
and cactus. This sums up the flora OF
the new promised land. The fauna in
cludes jack-rabbits, horn-toads, lizards,
ella monsters and snakes.
The soil is coarse sand and gravel, and
on top of the coarse gravel there is o
fine alksli powder which. when the
wind ~blows-and the wind blows often
sweeps over this scorched and barren
land like the dreaded sand storms of the
Sahara, which by the way, they much
resemble. Even far to the southwest,
across the lofty mountain ranges, these
desert sand-storms sometimes sweep,
reaching the favored dwellers in South
ern California in the midst of their
orange groves. Even this distant touch
of the desert winds causes trees to
wither, grass TO scorch, and men and
animals to suffer keenly. Over this
dreadful desert the sun moves like a
ball of fire across a sky Of brass. Rarely
does a cloud break the intensity of its
pitiless rays.
Those credulous persons who may
believe that this is the kind of desert
which. by irrigation, may be turned
into a garden, are doomed to disap-
pointment. There is no water on this
desert strip. The waters of the Colo
RADIO may be led on the lands of the
Yuma Desert, but that Is Ear lower in
level than are these. Much OF this
Mojave strip is at an elevation of two or
three thousand feet. As for a~rtesiau
water, the writer personally knows of
one we'll which was bored for nearly
two thousand feet, ending in igneous
rock, and producing nothing but pro-
family.
The last hope for the settler on this
barren land would be the discovery of
the precious metals. They may exist
there. We do not say they can not be
found. But we know that the land has
been prospected by experienced miners
for half a century. If q tenderfoot can
find a gold mine where an old Cslifor-
mia Tor Nevads) miner fails. he is a smart
tenderfoot. But we doubt his success.
We warn ell Eastern people not to be
deluded by false aver il well-meaning
representations concerning this strip Of
land between Mojsve and the Colorado
River. It is strewn with the skeletons
OF prospeetors. the bones Of animals.
It is a Place of Skulls.

SCHOOL BOND TRANSACTION.
CONTINUED from Page ~

but three alternatives Hold nitedState
Bonds on hand to maturity and lose 10
per cent to lis invest in Governments
as now offered at 2 per cent, or accept in
vestments in the bonds Of other States.
Believing that as long as q Govern
ment OF the United States exists, the
State OF Massachusetts, will continue TO
be one Of the leading States of the Union
both in wealth and power, the Board
af,er the most deliberate consideration
decided, as far as possible, to stop the
further loss by depreciation, and invest
the funds in Massachusetts, bonds at !
per cent better interest than can be OBJ
tanned from the Government.
The query naturally arises, then why
should the Government bonds be SO
much more highly esteemed as an invest
ment than the bonds OF the Steta OF
Massachusetts ? The answer is plain.
Government bonds are the only basis OF
National Banks II q banking corpora
ton desires to enter business, 2 per cent
net interest earning bonds can be depos-
tied with the Government and the de-
positor receive the interest with q low
tax thereon. and an equal amount in
National Bank Notes returned, which
constitutes business capital to them in
addition to the interest received on the
bonds. but the State OF Massachusetts
bonds cannot be so used. neither can the
State Of Nevada go into the banking
business and secure the benefit.
Massachusetts State Bonds are taxa
bile il the hands OF private individuals,
but in the hands OF the State OF Nevada
are not assessable. This places Massa-
chusetts bonds on a higher interest than
United States bonds, in 30 far as the
State of Nevada is concerned.
The next query is, why should the
State of Massachusetts be selling bonds
with a taxable property assessed at
nearly five billion dollars 2 This is
explained upon the authority Of that
State, which provides hat cities and
municipalities desiring to construct water
works, sewerage Oh parks, etc., when
not possessed of the necessary funds
without borrowing, shall apply to the
State, and upon such application and
good reason given, the State accepts
security offered by the city and issues
bonds full and complete for the amount
needed. and by such means bonds 20
upon the market at a greatly reduced
rate of interest, by reason OF the better
standing the State has over any town or
city, this not only increases the value Of
the town and city property. but gives
increased revenue to the State.

THE NEED OF THE HOUR.

In every state of the union the con.
viction that we should build a navy
strong enough for possible emergencies
is spreading constantly. How glor-
ious was the sea power of the brave
Dutch under Van Tromp. with his
broom at the masthead as he swept the
English channel in the 18th century.
Holland was a wonder on the water
for small nation for years after the
death of Oliver Cromwell, the in
domitable English protector. Should
not this great republic be made ready
to uphold the honor of the flag on
every occasion? No dreams of con-
quest, no schemes of unjust aggres-
sion will ever gain the support of
freedom loving Americans. But the
whole country should feel at all
times safe and secure in its rights.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE.

The new Cabinet Department Of
Secretary Cortelyou. the latest addi-
tion to the presidents cabinet. This
journal had hoped that when a new
department was created it would have
been a department OF mines. says the
Mining and Scientific Press. and did
some energetic work in that direction,
but public opinion east of the Rock
les Lad not crystalized sufficiently.
and the necessary recognition Of the
Importance of the nations greatest
basic industry is deferred. However.
next to the creation of cabinet de-
partment of mines and mining. the
most favorable governmental act
affecting the development of the
country's mineral resources is the new
cabinet department that begins its
work this week. as it directly aids in
the advancement of American manu-
factures. and thus indirectly in the
Advancement of the country's s develop
ed mineral wealth. lin this regard
it is to be observed that Secretary
Corteiyou, the ninth addition to the
presidents IS official assistants, will
direct the greatest commercial inter-
ests on the globe. His department
has juriscdtion over tine internal COM
merce of the country. This aggre-
gated two billion dollars in 1850;
three and one-half millions in 1860;
six and one-fourth billions in 1870;
seven and three-fourtls billions in
1880; twelve billions in 1890. eighteen
billions in 1900, and this year exceeds
twenty billions. That is, it has in
creased ten-fold in fifty three years.
During the same period the popula-
tion OF the United States increased
from twenty three millions to eighty.
two millions. So that while the
country's internal commerce has in.
creased ten-fold, the population has
not increased four-fold. This is
largely due to facilities of transporta-
tion. the inventive genius of our peo-
pie, the richness of the country, and
the development of our mineral
wealth. In this increase of commerce
the miner is foremost factor. And
not only in the production of mineral
wealth. but in its manufacture, the
mining states show gratifying ad-
vance. Take the one state of Colo.
RADIO. which III 1880 showed total of
manufactures Of $42, ,4so, 205, and in
1900 produced a total of manufactures
70 $l02, $50. 1877. Similarly may be
Gifted the state of California, which
in 1890 manufactured to the extent
OF $2I3. 403, 998, and in 1900, $500, S74,-
76l. Other commonwealths show
The daily tribune., 1903-03-05

equal proportionate advance. illustrat-
ing that mining and manufacturing go
together, and that the ancient aud
honorable order Of miners and metal
lurgists ever foster and encourage
manufactures and the creation Of in
dustrial wealth. Hence it is with
pleasure miners everywhere note the
creation of the new cabinet depart
meDt. and with confidence look for
ward to tie day when there shall also
be department of mines and min
ing.
