The development Of irrigation brings
with 1t a multitude of problems which
increase In variety and Importance as
the land becomes settled and the CO.
pacity Of the water supply taxed to
greater extent Many of these prob
lens lie at the very heart of practical
irrigation. The relations between farm
ers under irrigation are far closer and
more intimate than under the condl-
tons Of farming in the east, and the
community OF interest is necessarily
much more In evidence One man NAV
ruin his neighbor's land by improper
management of his water, and the con-
tiEued waste of water prevents the
bringing of new areas under cultiva-
ton and thus restricts settlement.
DR.. Mead's report (recently issued)
calls special attention to the increas-
ing cost of water, which the farmer
must have whether the cost Is great or
small. During the past Ave years this
cost has risen enormously In nearly
every western State Certain water
rights In Colorado, for example, which
were originally purchased for S. an
acre now sell for $35. Where former
ly 90 cents an acre foot for water
would have been regarded as a prohibit
tive price, farmers last year paid 81 an
acre foot. Fully $2O,OOOOOO was paid
by irrigators last year for the water
they used. In many cases, from lack
of knowledge how to use the water
economically, they wasted and misap-
piled enormous quantities, thereby in
juring their crops and their land and
incidentally that of their neighbors
through seepage.
During the investigations of the past
few years many instances Of overirri-
cation have come under observation.
With the restricted supply in many To-
calities, the wasteful or unsklllful use
of water by one farmer often means
that the crops Of some other farmer
must suffer because Of it or that land
must remain uncultivated. The area
farmed, the yield Of crops and the con-
tinued productiveness Of the soil all
depend on knowing how to use water
Alright and on the establishment Of
laws and regulation to compel this
when men know and refuse to heed

which has hitherto rested upon force

novelist, social reformer and religious
mystic, was born IN 1923. He was ed

That is better" she cried, laughing.
You can be quick enough when you
choose, Master Malapert. But you are
more fit to speak of high and weary
matters with my sister Mary. She will
have none of the prattle and courtesy
of Sir George, and yet 1 love them well.
But tell me, Nigel, why do you come
to Cosford tonight"
ITO bid you farewell"
Me alone?"
NAY, Edith, you and your sister
Mary and the good knight your father"
Sir George would have said that he
had come for me alone. Indeed you are
but poor courtier beside him. But is it
true, Nigel, that you go to France?"
Yes, Edith
at was so rumored after the King had
been to Tilford. The story goes that the
King goes to France and you in his train.
Is that true?"
Yes, Edith, it is true. -
Tell me, then, to what part you go,
and when?"
That, alas! I may not say"
ooh, in sooth!" She tossed her fair
head and rode onward in silence, with
compressed lii s and angry eyes.
Nigel glanced at her in surprise and
dismay. Surely, Edith" said he at
last, you have overmuch regard for my
honor that you should wish me to break
the word that have given?"
Your honor belongs to you, and my
likings belong to me-" said she. "You
hold fast to the one, and | will do the
same by the other"
They rode in silence through Thursley
village. Then thought came to her
mind and in an instant her anger was
forgotten and she was hot on a new
scent.
What would you do if l were injured,
Nigel? l have heard my father say that
small as you are there is no man in these
parts could stand against you. Would
you be my champion if suffered wrong?"
Surely I or any man of gentle blood
would be the champion of any woman
who had suffered wrong
You or any and l or any-what sort
of speech is that? Is it a compliment,
think you, to be mixed with a drove in
that fashion? My question was of you

at her strange, strong face, and at the
passing CLEANS far down in her dark
eyes, felt that this silent woman with her
proud bearing and her queenly grace
had in her something of strength, of re-
serve and of mystery which was more
to them than all the dainty glitter of her
sister.
Such we're the ladies of Cosford to-
ward whom Nigel Loring rode that night
with doublet of Genoan velvet and the
new white feather in his cap.
He had ridden over Thursley RiX past
that old stone where in days gone by at
the place of Thor the wild Saxons wor
SHIPPED their war-god. Nigel looked at
it with wary eye and spurred Pommers
onward DIS he passed it, for still it was
said that wild fires danced round it on
the moonless nights, and they who had
ears for such things could hear the
scream and sob of those whose lives had
been ripped from them that the fend
might be honored Thor's stone, Thor's
jumps, Thor's punch bowl-the whole
countryside was one grim monument
to the God of Battles, though the pious
monks had changed his uncouth name for
that of the Devil his father, so that it
was the Devils jumps and the Devils
punch-bowl of which they spoke. Nigel
glanced back at the old gray boulder, and
he felt for an instant shudder pass
through his stout heart. Was it the
chill of the evening air, or was it that
some inner voice had whispered to him
of the day when he also might lie bound
on such a rock and have such a blood
stained pagan crew bowling around him.
An instant later the rock and his vague
fear and all things else had passed from
his mind, for there, down the yellow
sandy path, the setting sun cleaning on
her golden hair, her 1.-THE figure bending
and swaying with every heave of the
cantering horse, was none other than the
same fair Edith, whose face had come
so often betWiXt him and his sleep. His
blood rushed hot to his face at the sight,
for fearless of all else, his spirit was
attracted and yet daunted by the deli
cate mystery of woman. To his pure and
knightly soul not Edith alone, but every
woman, sat high and aloof, enthroned
and exalted, with a thousand mystic
excellencies and virtues which raised
her far above the rude world of man.
There was joy in contact with them
and yet there was fear, fear lest his own
unworthiness, his unframed tongue or
rougher ways should in some way break
rudely upon this delicate and tender
thing. Such was his thought as the
white horse cantered toward him. but
a moment later his vague doubts were
set at rest by the frank voice of the young
girl, who waved her whip in merry
greeting.
Hail and well met. Nigel" she cried
Whittier away this evening? Sure
am that it is not to see your friends of
Cosford, for when did you ever don so
brave doublet for us? Come, Nigel,
her name, that may hate her forever!"
NAY, Edith" said the young Squire,
laughing back at the laughing girl Il
was indeed coming to Cosford."
Then we shall ride back together, for
/ will go no farther. How think you that
l am looking?"
Nigels answer was in his eyes as he
glanced at the fair flushed face, the
golden hair, the sparkling eyer and the
daintilV graceful figure set off in a

Aseventy people. The townsite COM

return FROM
GREENWATER
R. P. DUNLAP and ROGER KNOX
RETURN FROM The COP
PER DISTRICT

Richard P. Dunlap and Roger
Knox returned Tuesday from a visit
to Grenewater. Mr.. Dunlap who
had not before been to the district
stated that he was much impressed
with the conditions and thought that
it was a country of great possibili-
ties. He said that the greatest ac-
tivity was being displayed on Sena-
tor Oddies Arcturus property. The
ore taken from the shaft of the
Greenwater and Death Valley mine
was fine, he asserted. As to the
Patsy Clark property he said he was
not SO very much impressed, al
though he learned that they claimed
to have very high grade ore. He
said it was the coolest place he was
ever in and that there was no way
to get warm. During the cold spell
which happened while he was in the
camp; he stated that it was no un-
common sight to see the citizens
gather around bon fire all night
and indulge in regular Indians war
dances. The price of every thing is
very high and he thinks that there
is a splendid opening for first
class store selling goods at reason
able figure. Mr.. George Badgett
joined Mr.. Dunlap and Mr.. Knox in
Greenwater and together they visited
some claims in which Mr.. Knox is
interested. Mr.. Dunlap also stated
that great deal of building was
going on, and that every thing point
ed to the permanently of the district

Mobile, Ala, Oct. 23.-( Especial to
Bonanza.) The steamer Colorado
arriving here today brought in four
men who were picked up Saturday
ninety miles off Key West. When
picked up the men were floating
helpless about the sea on log raft
in an almost exhausted condition
without food or water and up to
their waist in sea water
While working on house boat at
Long Key, Florida, hurricane sud
denly broke and drove the house
boat into the open sea. At work at
the time were 125 men. The frame
work of the boat intended for river
cruising withstood the force of the
sea for but a short while and soon
went to pieces and 10 men were
drowned. Passing ships picked up
AZ survivors and took them to Jack
sonville. This is only one of the
terrible wrecks left in the path of

A Boon to Tonopah

If the reports be true of the in
tention of Pittsburg syndicate to
develop and operate the coal de-
posts at Coaldale, 1t certainly will
be a boon to Tonopah. The full
extent of the deposit is not known,
although there appears to be three
we'll defined veins underlying each
other Test, SO far made, shows
the coal to be an inferior grade, so
far as heat is concerned. The cheap
ness at which it could be mined and
shipped to Tonopah would more
than offset this feature, and besides
it would be entirely satisfactory for
cooking purposes. The present
cost of soft coal in Tonopah is
about SIS per ton, while the supply
at Coaldale could no doubt be miped
and shipped to Tonopah at fig'Ire
which would permit it to be sold at
about Sc or $40 per ton

At a meeting held yesterday, in

Kreider Building, San Francisco, the
preliminary steps were taken to re-

in the Mills Building. Plans for the
reorganization were formulated and
the question of location discussed.
The Tonopah Mining Exchange is
the first to tradein Southern Nevada

shape The present membership is
about 60. Among the plans discuss
ed was to assess each Of the present
members and to take in 10 or Is
new members. AS there is wait
ing list this last will be no difficult
matter 1t is understood that a
number of brokers who are members
of the Okland Exchange are
anxious to consolidate with the Tono-
pah board. The question was also
