. The disastrous results of eight wears of drought in a region that heas only a limited water supply in the most
 impressive lesson contained in Profes.
 sional Paper No. 23, recently publish. ed by the United States Geological Surevy. Forest Conditions in the
 Black Mesa Forest Reserve. Arizona Is the title of the paper. which was prepared by Mir. F. c. Hummer from notes furnished by Messrs. Theodore
 F. Rixon and Arthur Dodwell.
 The reserve comprises an area of
 2Is6 square miles and includes parts Of Yayapai Coconino, Gila. Navajo Apache and Graham counties, Ari- zona. It is an irregular stip of land running from central Arizona in a
 general southeasterly direction to the
 New Mexico boundary. It follows and
 lies principally on the north slope of the Colorado-Gila divide The char acter of this divide. known as Black Mesa, is that of a southward facing escarpment of nearly perpendicular rock. 1.500 to 2.000 feet high which is inaccessible, except in a few places. to the most daring climber IL is the south edge of the great Colorado pla- teau. The topography of the reserve is in general rough and broken, though the southeastern portion is rolling. with several high plateaus.
 Water is very sccarce. Eight years ago the reserve was comparatively well watered but successive seasons of drought have rendered it exceed ingly dry. and unless a change for the better occurs cattlemen and sheep men will desert this country. Numer- ous small areas were once profitably farmed. but in recent years the lack of rainfall has caused a marked decline in agriculture. Grazing. the main industry of this and adjacent regions has suffered greatly from continued droughts. The only remain ing areas which are used solely for cattle are on Blue and Salt River and Eagle Creek. The best growths of wild forage grasses are nearly always found at some distance from water, and are consequently not available for stock which are unable to make the tIlp lTOlu WatcI lO pdSluic
 The Verde slope, in the Beaver Creek watershed, is an example of repeated overwhelming. This district was formerly a source of great wealth to settlers in that vicinity. but the number of cattle and horses grazed in it has finally. resulted in the complete annihilation of the pasture. Unless stringent rules are adopted to regulate the number of stock and the on each permit, this condition will sooner or later prevail throughout the reserve.
 Yellow pine is the principal timber tree of the reserve and the only lum- Der at present used for manufacturing purposes. The drought of the last eight years has effected even trees like the yellow pine, alligator. juniper, and Arizona cypress, which, as rule, stand dry weather very well. Hun dreds of thousands of feet of timber will be lost unless immediately logged.

be more successes recorded. and the investing public would seek mining in-
 vestments in preference to other stocks. In contrast to the above described method of mine promotion, some of the greatest producing and most profitable mines in the woSld are capitalized for amounts far below the dividends they have already paid. or course, and mine making a good showing at the beginning may prove to be one of the bonanza mines. but in its early history this is usually only a possibility. Moreover. it is really not so much the capitalization of the proposition as the price at which investors buy into the enter prise that is to them the true measure of success or failure.

kURoPATklN USES AN AUTO.
Facilities for Getting Away Are Better
Than Ever Before.

Chefoo, Nov. 30.--General Kuropatkin
is the poSsesSOr of Il new 20-hOrSe
power automobile with which he is
able to rush at high speed from one
part to another of the line, twenty-five
miles long, according to NJ. Ravoir, who
reached here today from Mukden. NJ.
Ravoir said:
The two armies lie facing each 9TH
Ell, each having three fortified lines.
The soldiers live mostly in caves be-
hind their trenches, which are warm
even without fire. The Russian troops
are in the best of spirits and have un-
limited confidence in their leaders.
They expect K%uropatkin to attack dur
ing the winter. The Russian forces
now number 800. 900 men.
There are only a few hundred
wounded at Mukden and 10000 wound
ed at Hardin. I came out on the ST.
berian railroad, which seemed to be do
ing its tremendous work smoothly. The
warehouses along the railroad between
Mukden and Hardin are full of supplies
Which are almost untouched, as up to
the present the army has subsisted
chiefly on the country.
The handling of the Russian artiI-
lery is improving, while the japanese
artillery fire seems less effective Or
%iginally the Russians did not eoncea1
their artillery. which the japanese
quickly disabled. Now the Russians
handle and conceal their guns with
perfect science.
The belief is general at Mukden
that Port Arthur will old out till re-
HeVed, no matter how long the much
expected second Pacific squadron NAV
take in reaching the far east. In my
opinion k~uropatkin will never retreat
from Mukden unless defeated decisive
ly, and l think the next battle will be
a Russian victory"

There is a gradually dawning belief
that plant growth is more or less Of a
chemical process that may be acceler-
ated or retarded by the application of
the proper reagents, generally in the
form of fertilizers. and that the ulti-
mate growth is usually far in excess
of the. value of the material applied.
This is apropos OF some Investigations
that have been conducted by NJ. Ma
gaOka. of the Toxic Imperial univer-
stty. in stimulating rice growth by the
stimulating action of manganese in the
form of manganese sulphate. A yield
of 81 per cent over a field fertilized in

investigator and the value Of the in
creased crop was equal to o times
the cost of the chemical applied.
