yellowstone phenomena seem like fire works compared to 10 inch guns.
 "The remains of these great dead springs have left mountains of miner alized clay to mark their resting place. Think of mountain of bOrax 1000 feet nigh and four miles around its base, and several others double the size of Egyptian pyramids. These borax de- posits are of great value and are stalk ed and owned by the Pacific Coast Borax company, who designate their products as twenty mule team bOrax products, because it was originally transported out of Death Valley by a twenty mule team. Decomposition of the mounds, mountains and the natural washing down into the valley of these chemical deposits left over the surface of Death Valley the ''cotton top'' borax. This is a mixture of the de- composed colemanite borax and clay of the hills deposited in the valley.
 "The borax company in the early days built extensive works at the mouth of Funeral creek in Death Val ley and on tine AmaragOsa river to treat this cotton top borax. However, the discovery in these mountains of Colen anite borax, Ia borax bearing quartz that is mined like any mineraD and the fact that tn quartz borax is twice as pure as cottCn top, and that it can be treated more cheaply, also caused them to mine this Colemanit- borax and to abandon cotton top d. posits."

Claimed t..zt Copper Merger is Con:

Claimed t-St Copper Merger is Con-
 pisteG.
 A New York special sa5s: Men on the inside of the great copper merger have admitted that the plan is prac- tically complete, according to the Hera.d.
 The new corporation will control absolutely the output of lead and cop Der ores, the smelling business and the sale of the financial product.
 1t Is said the following concerns are to enter the merger:
 Amalgamated at 1908.
 Anaconda at IOOS per 25S share.
 United Copper at l00S.
 Bingham at 75S per 50$ share.
 Utah at 5JS per los share.
 American Smelling common at ZOOS and preferred at 1908.
 Federal at lOlS for the common and l25S for the preferred.
 National Lead common at i0OS.
 Terms for American Shelters and United Lead are not given.
 The merger Of th-se concerns at the figures mentioned means a capitaliza- tion exceeding 6oO,COC, ,OOOs and it is thought that this corporation will shortly rival the gigantic steel trust.
 In addition to the properties men, toned, the combine will also take in smaller copper mines throughout Utah. Montana and Arizona.
 It is said the Guggenheims will uead the combination and that F. A. deinze will have charge of the copper department.
 It is understood the Standard Oil people are allied with the Guggen- ueims in the deal and there is no un- easiness about sufficient money to put the deal through.
 One certain indication that the mer- ger is now an assured fact was the official admission of the settlement of litigation between the HeinZe and Amalgamated interests. It Is said this settlement was reached some time ago, but public admission of the fact was withheld until certain important deals had been closed.

Twenty years hence, says an ex- change, the boys of today will be men. They will be the doctors and drunk ards, lawyers and liars, editors and idiots, ministers and murderers, repub- licans and democrats, and so on down the line. It is impossible to tell to certainty in what class each boy will be. But it is not impossible for boy to be subject to such influences that will steer him in the right direction. Follow the boys of twelve years and in twenty years some of them will be in parliament, while others will be in jail. Every boy is training for cer- tain class, and it is the duty of parents to know which.

experience such a revival in placer mining as was never before known in its history. It was learned from re- liable information which reached this city yesterday that the machinery. lumber and material for the construc- tion of a 2O0-ton plant was shipped a few days ago from Cleveland, Ohio, to be erected on the ground owned by the Lynx Creek Gold company, and that work on it would be commenced as soon as the material reached here.
 The plant, which is of a type never seen in this section, is of the grizzly order, fitted with screens calculated to get rid of about 50 per cent of the cCarser material, leaving about 40 per cent to be treated by a method some what on the principle of the old sluice box style. The general plan contem- plates that it will be as nearly auto matic as possible. It is proposed tO land the dirt upon 1t with scrapers, which it is said can be used on ground of the character proposed to be worked with economy, when there will be no occasion to handle it again, as it will pass through the grizzly, screens, sep arators, and ore bins until it reaches the sluices entirely by the aid of ma chinery.
 The properties owned by this com pany are situate at or near the point where the Black canyon and Prescott wagon road crosses Lynx creek, about i've and half miles east of this city. The group consists of eighteen placer and quartz claims. Considerable work has already been done on one of the quartz claims, which is said 10 have an excellent surface showing. Tests of the alluvial deposits made by engin- eers some time since gave returns of 2 to the ton of cirt handled on the average while several rIch spots were found which gave much better results in coarse gold.-Jourlal-Miner.

Deat,, Valley Prehistoric wons9r.ar

Death Valley Prehistoric Won5sT.arS. A san Francisco dispatch says: Col. L. ?. Brown, the well known scientist and mining expert of the west. has explored Death valley, and given to civilizat on brand new theory regard ing the origin of the wonderful valley.
 Hitherto Death valley mas been con- sidered to have been originally lake, and it is often called a dried lake. 7" As the valley is said by surveyors to be below the level of the sea, this lake theory seemed very probable, but MT. Browns theory also seems as probable: He says: q explored the main poc- tion of Death valley and thoroughly investigated the Funeral range re = ing springs, Kingston. Grape Vine and all those other ranges lying parallel with them.
 'Death Va ley seems to have been the source of great lava flows that ran out of this tremendous slag pot and overran the east face of Funeral moun- tain and the Panamints.
 Down the canyon, at one side. pieces of gravel and salt are found. which show too conclusively that the lake or sea, when it existed was east and south of Death Valley, and that the tearing force that formed the Fun eral range on the east of Death Valley and the Panamints on the west carried the bottom of this inland sea clear up to the top of the Funeral range: and if any sea has been dried up, it was done in short order, with a display of force that shook the world, and a roar of steam and gas that would appal con- tinent. The only part Death Valley took in the water question, was to let it run into great craters and spit it out in geysers that would make the

Valley was sent to the printer within i the year.
 Hydro-economic work in Arizona was in the hands of Alr. Sheldon k. Baker, who made an investigation of the quality of the ground waters in the Salt River Valley and their probable behavior after the new irrigation sys- tenn now being installed is put in op- eration. He also carried on detailed studies in the upper part of the Salt River basin to determine the source of sodium chloride in the water of this stream and the probability of its eco nomical elimination.
 Attention was given, under the re- clamation law, to the consideration of the relative merits of the two large reservoir sites in this Territory which had been previously known and widely discussed. These are the San Carlos site on Gila River, and the Salt River site on Salt River, the principal trib- utary of the Gila. The San Carlos site was examined in connection with the surveys of the Buttes reservoir site. h addition, general examination was made of opportunities of storing water in various parts Of the Territory, and of the underground waters of Salt River valley that may be made avail able by pumping. The reclamation work in Arizona is under the charge of Mir. Louis C. Hill, supervising en- gineer.
 The Salt River project involves the construction of a dam 20 feet nigh for the storage of l,lOO,O0O acre feet of water and of power plants for pumping water for irrigation in the lower val i ley. During the year a water-works system was installed for the purpose of supplying potable water to the mp and town at Roo,evelt The tel | ephone line connecting the headworks of the upper power canal with the Arizona dam was completed. The building for the cement mill was fin ished, the machinery installed, and the mill put in operation about a year ago. The PheniX-Roosevelt road was finished, the power canal at the mouth of the Verde located, and the cadastral survey of the irrigable lands in Phenix Valley completed. The contract for i the dam was let to J. NJ. O'Rourke x Co.,, of Galveston, Texas.
 Complete tests of the irrigation plants in Salt River valley were car ried on. These include tests of steam. steam electric, hydro electric, and gas olene plants, ranging in capacity from 10 to 300 horsepower. The data obtained, together with the work on the underground flow, which is already completed, will furnish the basis for the design of the pumping plants which will form part of the project. The reservoir site for the San Car los project is on the White Mountain Indian Reservation in Arizona, below the mouth of San Carlos Creek, on Gila river. Observations of river flow and sediment have been taken during the past year and reconnaissance sur veys have been made of possible reser- voir sites on the upper Gila. A de- tailed topographic map has been made of the dam site. and contour map partly made of the reservoir. Geolog- ical Survey Bulletin.

A few doses of it will undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold, and its continued use for a few days will cure you complete ly. No matter how deep seated your cough. even if dread consumpt on has attacked your lungs, German Syrup will surely effect a cure-as it has do2e before in thousands of apparently hopeless cas es of lung trouble.

that the experience of the state troops
in guarding San Francisco and other
places devastated by the earthquake
