1t will be seen that the number Of
acres sOwn to wheat, oats and barley
in 1898 was 429,749, and that this had
increased in 1904 to 1.5s7.337 The to-

9,033,297 bushels in 1898, and in 1904
it had grown to the magnificent total OF
35,413,522. In the year just closed the

Of the West has been the wonder anc

BITTER SPRINGS.

Man and Burro Are Now Objects of
curiosity--Skinned Slick.
A prospector had a very severe ex-
perience the other day in Death Valley
and his poor old burro shared with
him In his misery and discomforts.
They had travelled along the valley
nearly all day. The sun had been
pouring down intensely hot and they
had consumed the last bit of water
both in the cans on the Jack and in
the canteen They were suffering from
horrible thirst when the burro scented
water and made for IL. The burro
waded right in TO the pool. but the
prospector jumped in boots and all
He was no sooner In than ont. for he
noticed tingling sensation that told
him all was not as II ought to be. The

about the same time, and when both

shaved as clean of all hair from head
to foot as mortal man could be. and
so was the burro to the heighth of
where the water had reached upon
him.
The springs are what are known as
Bitter Springs" and though 1t does
not kill unless drank to excess, 1t has
the effect of removing hair as slick as
boiling water. Both man and burro
was seen in town Sunday and they
were the slickest looking paid that
anyone could gaze upon.
Another spring. fortunately. was In
close proximity to the poisonous one,
where both camped for the night, and
after due reflection they decided mat
ters might haye even been worse. The
burlo swallowed a mouthful. but not
enough to have any effect. The pros
pector had not taken any. Bitter
Springs are poisonous, and it was but
a miracle that both did not suffer
death.
The bones and skeletons of many
were strewn about, and even a notice
of danger, but being thirsty. they

This is another of the Funeral

J. NJ. Hargrave came in from there
Sunday, and he says: Mr.. Mechlaeh-

their returns showed s1s5 in gold and

but 30 feet deep, but the sight of gold
that can be seen sparkling along the

make any prospector on the desert en-

Mr.. Perey4wss delighted with what he
saw and he came ladened with ore to
show to others as also to his friends.
Mr.. Harvey was not loaded down as
heavy as was Mr.. Percy, but he had
with him a sample of the ore taken
from the bottom of the 125-foot shaft
that showed that the ore body has
continued to improve from the grass

There are untold hardships to con-

have a six-mule team on the road
which hauls $50 gallons OF water at a

and 1t is sold by the freighters to the
prospectors at the mine for $500 a
