The Maximum Evaporation.

The United States geological sur vey has been engaged for some time past in making an exhaustive series of investigations on the Colorado river in connection with the proposed reclamation of arid lands along that river. In the course of these investi- gations careful record of evapora- tion has been kept at Yuma, Arizona, under the direction of J. B. Lippen- colt, engineer in charge of the hydro graphic branch of the geological sur vey.
 The record for 1903 is given in the following table, together with the pre- cipitation during the same period. It is probable that this represents the maximum evaporation on this conti- nent, unless it be slightly greater in the SaltOn basin, San Diego county, Cal, or in Death valley, Inyo county, Cal.

The Solomonville Bulletin says Benson citizens are justly indignant over the published report that the territorial reform school, recently con- structed at that place at cost of sev- eral thousand dollars to the territory, was sinking into the ground, and that it would only be a few months until the entire building would col lapse. Your correspondent passing through Benson heard the report and made personal investigation of the matter. The report is false. The re. form school stands as firm as Gibral- tar and is built in a substantial man. ner with well laid foundations. One published report stated that the en- tire reform school building had sunk

in the ground to depth of eighteen inches. How such reports originated is beyond the imagination of the re- form school officials, as the first they knew of it was printed article in the Evening Miner in Bisbee. Several buildings in Benson have been stand ing and occupied for the past eighteen years. The Grand Central hotel is one of them.

 A group of retired veterans of the regular army assembled at the St James Hotel few evenings ago and being more pr less in reminiscent mood related some of their experiences of the days when the west was young and when Red Cloud, American Horse, Spotted Tail and Standing Elk were in the zenith of their power and glory as Indian chiefs James Deelaney led of with an experience at Fort Reno, located on Powder River. near where the present town of Buffalo, Wyo. now stands.
 T was detailed on herd guard about half a mile from the post with fel- low named Cousins" he related. "Cou sins had a pistol with him but was un- armed. Cousins went into the post to dinner, but declined to leave his pistol with me, so the onl yweapon l. had was a pair of spurs. l was riding one or the swing mules on which was bell. The herd drifted on out toward the foothills leeasurely. and sometimes after Cousins had gone back to the fort l saw three or four mounted men coming out of the foothills from the west and sup posing them to be couriers from Ft Phil Kearney, rode out slowly to meet them. Instead of them coming in toward me they slowly moved back into the foothills but kept in sight. The herd was fol- lowing me single file and happened to look backward toward the timber along PowderRiver and noticed five or six more mounted men coming from that direction. It was in the summer of 1866. Just then something happened. The mounted men at the foothills started in toward the fort to get between the post and the herd, riding on the dead jump. The party coming up from the timber started about the same time on a dead gallop for the herd, and then for the first time I realized that they were Indians I didn't do a thing but turn my mule in toward the fort, which was in plain view about a mile and a half distant. and as luck had it the herd followed me. clipped the spurs into the mule and he went like the wind, kicking sideways as he ran with the herd close behind me. The lookout at the fort saw something was up and it was not many minutes before company of the End calvery, under Lieut.. Bingham, came tearing out of the fort to save the herd. On the meantime the Indians had got into the herd but could not turn it. One or two of them tried to ride me down. but my mule was too fast for them and the way tho old bell changed was a caution, and the rest of the herd followed the bell. Well. to make long story short. tue cavalry company soon came up with me and the herd. and the Indians hlked out in great shape.

 DaTF Finn chuckled to himself a mo- ment and then broke out with the query: T guess you fellows never heard of the big drunk at Ft. Fetterman in the summer of 1867. It was great. It hap pened this way. A couple of traders put in an appearance at the fort one day with a detachment that went up to Ft. Reno. His purpose was to get per- mission from the commanding officer up there to start a ranch near the fort and sell whiskey. After he had gone his part her showed up as drunk as a lord and took a couple of the boys into his con- fidence. He. said they had four barrels of whiskey buried down in La Prele bot toms, about four miles from Ft. Fetter- man. and he didn't mind setting them up to the boys. It soon got noised abroad in the garrison and the boys started out to find that buried whiskey. They found it. The result was that camp kettles canteens, kegs and anything that would hold the liquor was gathered up and a gang of fifteen or twenty boys went down to the Whiskey mine and filled themselves up and then started back to the fort with big supply of the stuff. Well, that drunk kept up for three or four days. The officers were powerless to do any thing, other than to send a sober detail down to the whiskey camp and upset the remaining barrels of the stuff. Well the guard house was chucked full of drunken men, and finally as last resort the crowd of drunks was dumped into a big hole that was about ten feet square and ten or twelve feet deep that had been dug for the foundation for a flag staff near the guardhouse. The worst trunks were huddled in there and left to sober up. There were a few fights. but not many, considering the universal inebra- ton. I remember the first sergeant of my company had five gallon keg of the stuff in the orderly room stove and the following morning it was pretty cold, so hs told his striker to start a fire in the steve, forgetting about the keg being in there Well in few minutes that keg busted and not only blowed' the stove to pieces but knocked one end out of the barracks then being built of 'dobles.'
