Failures, so called, of this kind are

OF GOLD FIELD
Apparently Worthless Rock Turned
Out to Be q Valuable
Find.

Five years ago desert rancher
famed Jim Butler was prospecting in
southwestern Nevada, packing his out
fit along on the backs of six burrOs,
trudging among the mountains 100
miles from railroad in country
which an experienced miner would
have laughed at, says Outing.
It had none of the signs of gold bear
ing rock, and in his plumb ignorance
Butler plodded along 40 miles from
water and one mile from H." trust
ing to gold seekers luck, and not at
all confident of making a strike big
enough to keep him in tobacco money.
One night he camped on Tonopah
spring and found some rock that
looked good to him. He broke off a
few chunks, loaded them on burro
and took them home in the course OF
time. In the town of Belmont, near
his ranch, his rock was greeted with
high -hearted incredulity, and he was
about to throw it away when a young
lawyer named Oddie pricked up his
ears, and with the rashness of youth
offered to have the samples essayed
Butler went back to his ranch in
Monitor valley and betook himself to
the more important business of har-
vesting his hay crop. He had forgot
ten all about his rock when Oddie sent
him word that the stuff assayed sew.

THE WONDERS OF IDAHO.
Beautiful Waterfalls That Are Higher
Than the World-Famed
Niagara.

With sheer drop of 210 feet-whieh
is so feet greater than the height of
Niagara-the Shoshone Falls, in Idaho,
stand second among the great cata-
racts of the new world
The region is one of plunging wa
tiers. Within length of Is miles the
Snake river leaps down a series of
giant steps until it has dropped a clean
5S3 feet.
Shoshone Falls form the highest of
these leaps Four miles above them
are Twin Falls, divided by a great,
cleaving promontory of rock.
Eleven miles below Shoshone is an
other drop, of 139 feet this time, called
Augur Falls A hundred miles below
are Swan Falls-and SO it goes.
The cataracts are not the only nat
ural wonders of this region. The
canyons are comparable only to the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado. In
places they are even deeper than the
great chasm further south.
Years ago Bancroft said of this part
Of the country: Taken altogether, it
is the most grand, wonderful, roman
tic and mysterious part of the domain
inclosed within the Federal Union"
At one time the cataract region was
set apart by the government as a. ma
tional park, but the act providing for
it has been repealed. The enormous
ic N ho mead for irri q
ton.
Perhaps the beauty of the falls will
suffer, but SIS square miles of sand
and sagebrush in one tract alone will
give place to rich harvests, and the
jack rabbits will move out in favor of
a million human beings who can find
homes there
1t is time for Aladdin to go way
back and sit down. Twentieth CEN
fury engineers accomplish marvels
which make his old lamp a back num-
Der. Take the tunnel which has been
cut through 420 feet of solid rock and
through which an industrial Niagara
will generate almost unlimited power.
Every bit of machinery for the plant
and many of these bits weighed
thousands of pounds-was hauled by
six horse teams over 80 miles of
crowded hills. Much Of this equip
ment was lowered by ropes over the
PERCEPTIONS walls of the Snake river
canyon.
The tunnel was blasted out, piece by
piece, from the top down; the reverse
of the method employed in making the
great Niagara tunnel. The interior
was then concerted smoothly, so that
it forms a circular shaft IA feet in
diameter, piercing the solid rock at an
angle of 45 degrees.
Already the knell of sage brush and
jack rabbits has struck in Snake river
valley. April l, 1905, the water was
turned on 10000 acres near Shoshone
Falls. One hundred days later the
reapers were at work gathering in the
trst crop
The soil of these valleys is of vol
canic ash and will produce 60 bushels
of wheat to the acre Or, if you pre-
fer it, apples which bring four dollars
bushel in London. With all this
gain, moreover, it is said that the
Snake river has water enough for both
purposes. 1t can irrigate it's millions
of acres and still form a cataract to
see which is worth going hundreds of
miles.
