gle period of rising tendency. In the
last 16 years the net fall has been
11h feet, and in the last three years
1T has been three feet. Inasmuch as
the rate of fall is increasing. and as
the DEEPEST part of the lake has only
40 feet of water, this form of calucu-
lation indicates that the lake will be
dry within 40 years at the outside.
Another calculation is based on the
cubic contents of the lake at the
present time as compared with the
contents in 1886, when adequate meas
urements on which to base an esti-
mate were made. BY this method the
disappearance of the lake is scheduled
to occur within rs years.
Three theories have been suggest
ed to account for this tendency. One
is evaporation, another irrigation, and
the third that there exists a subterran-
can outlet. The last mentioned theory
Is little better than a guess, but the
first theory is unquestionably true to
certain extent, though whether it will
account for the rapidity with which the
level has been lowered in recent years
is doubtful. AS for irrigation, more
evidence can be produced to show it's
effects in decreasing the lakes water
supply. Irrigation was commenced by
Brigham Young in the forties, but it
was not until 1880 that it was adopted
on large scale and il is within the
period since then that the lowering Of
the level has been most swift.
There are indications on the noun
tain sides and also on the nine noun
famous islands in the lake, that the
depth of the water was once 600 feet
greater than at present. We are there
fore witnessing now the speedy COM
pletion of a physical change that has
been in progress for many centuries
Most great physical transformations
of the surface of the globe move so
slowly that they will give evidence
of themselves on the map only after
many generations. This one bids fair
to make material difference in the
biographies which our childrens
children will study.-Chicago Record

LATEST SPORTING

Jimmy Gardner, Lowells crack
light weight, has sprung another sur
prise on the sporting public by an.
nouncing that he will make 1873 pounds
for Nelson. Not only that, but he is
willing to make any reasonable con-
cessions, so eager is he to meet the
Dane.
The Lowell man is willing to make
1873 pounds at o'clock on the day of
the fight, and will make a side bet of
sufficient size to make it interesting
for the pride of Hegewish. Gardner
is also willing to post a forfeit that
he will make the stipulated weight.
Gardeners attitude makes a fight be-
tween the pair almost assured. Up
to this morning, when Gardner issued
his def, at 1873 pounds, the impress
sion prevailed that the Lowell boy
could not make better weight than
1856 pounds.
Gardner, however, gives assurance
that he can not only make the weight,
but be good and strong at the figure
when he enters the ring.
The eastern mans determination to
get a match with Nelson will please
followers of the game throughout the
country. The sports have been clam
oring for go between the pair, but
the weight question always stood in
the way.
Gardeners fights with Rufe Turner
and Buddy Ryan gave him a great
standing with the followers of the
game.
They point to Jimmy's artistic work
in both fights as evidence of his abil-
ity and ask Nelson's cohorts to point
to similar work on the part of the
Dane.
Jimmy showed undoubted class in
his fight with Turner, and repeated the
performance against Buddy Ryan.

GREAT SALT LAKE DOOMED.
Indications That Within Generatio,
or So Il Will Dry Up.

That the Great Salt Lake is certain
in the near future TO disappear from
the map has long been the belief Of
scientists. That its disappearance
will come much sooner than has been
expected, and possibly within a quar-
ter of a century, is the conclusion that
has been reached by certain investiga-
tors who have recently made careful
studies of its fluctuations.
In an article in a recent number
of the Scientific American an account
is given of some of these investiga-
tons. One calculation is made from
an examination of the surface level
of the lake. which for 80 years has

The concrete stack built by Sena.

ton woks stands 1854 feet high, the
nlgnest concrete stack in the world
ana erected at cost of only $4,000.
me stack Is an experiment in Mon
tana. though similar stacks have been
built and successfully employed else
where. The work was begun last June
and has been raised at the rate of
about 30 feet week. The foundation
IS eight feet deep and AN feet square.
1t Is constructed of cement, gravel
and sand, with a steel net work. The
stack has an inside diameter of is
feet all the way from the bottom to
the top and for the first 100 feet is
of a double shell, the outer shell be-
ing nine inches thick and the inner
i've. Between the two is an air space
OF four inches. From the 100 foot
mark to the top there is a single
wall seven inches thick. In the con.
struction Of the stack 1000 barrels of
cement are used and 65 tons of ''T"
rails. The amount Of steel used for
the frame work is reduced as the stack
grows taller. About 500 bars were
used at the bottom, but after that at
a distance of every ten feet 20 bars
less were used, and only 20 in all are
in the frame at the top. The stack
has great elasticity and can be swayed
like tree by the wind without doing
damage to it. A flue 30 feet high and
100 feet wide is being built from the
smelter to the stack and is being con.
structed of brick and steel. It is the
purpose to save the sulphur and ar
senic, as Is being done in the big flue
and stack at the Washoe smelter-

The August output of copper ore in
the Butte district was about $50 900
tons and the total copper production
close to 28,5O0,00O pounds. Notwith.
standing the fact that there was a
falling of both in ore yield and cop
per production during the fore part of
the month, the totals exceeded those
of July. The Washoe smelter of the
Amalgamated company alone produc-
ed in excess of 100000 pounds of
copper. The Great Falls smelter of
the Amalgamated produced 100000
pounds, making the total Amalgamat.
ed production for the month more
than 21,1O0,0OO pounds. United Cop
per produced 3,550,OOO and Senator

The Amalgamated copper production
for September will aggregate 22,OOO,-
600 pounds, the output of the Washoe
and Great Falls smelters, being at the
rate of more than 254,00O,OOO pounds
year. In addition to the copper the
ore sent to the two shelters yields
about 100000 ounces of silver month
and 300 ounces OF gold, making a to-
tai of 100000 ounces Of silver a year
and 5000 ounces of gold. The value
of the silver produced during year
is about $5,568 900 and that of the gold
$4,000, or a total of $5,640, 900 for hte

THE last legislature did a wise
thing in reducing the bounty on bears

bounty on wolves and coyotes. The
former animals are not so numerous
and their habitation is confined large
ly to mountain ranges and timbered
regions; the domain of wolves and
coyotes is unlimited and underlined.
Wolves, like dogs, kill sheep more
from mate cussedness than for the
purpose of appeasing their hunger,
usually, while this is not the case with
the larger animals. Mr.. Clement, of
iatwillow, now attending court, says
he has lost Is sheep in one night by
wolves, and there were not more than
three or four of the rapacious animals
engaged in the destruction, while on
ly small portion of one sheep was
