From the point where the river leaves its old bed to where it flows into the Salton Sea is fall of 425 feet. This gives the stream a terrific force, difficult to eounteract. But we have made every arrangement to pre- vent a repetition of last November's failure. Within ten days the river will be at its lowest. and the engin- eers have chosen that time as the one most suspicious for the undertaking.
 The road from the Imperial valley to the point of the contemplated dam is 12 miles long. One thousand men are at work preparing for the work of turning the river. but fully again as many will be employed when the act ual work of diyerting the stream is commenced.

DEVELOPMENT
 AFFAIRS MUCH TANGLED

Ex-Consul Max Gavito, receiver TOT the defunct A. M. & D., was in the city yesterday.
 It is probable that the mine will be sold for the benefit of the creditors in a short time, although the date has not yet been set. This step will prob- ably be soon taken. Mir. Gayito said, on returning to his home.
 The property has secured promi- Hence through legal troubles which have embarrassed it on several occa- sions. The mine is best known as the Gold Treasure. It wnt into the hands of receiver month ago on account of bad management. one side claims, while Secretary Sparrow, who had charge of the mine says a lack of available funds was the cause. MT Sparrow has lately been savagely at tackled by the opposition A. M. & n. stockholders. In the courts he asserts he will prove stories of alleged miss use of funds to be absolutely false.
 High grade gold in considerable quantities show in the workings of the mine and it is general felt by those acquainted with the property that if it gets into practical hands, backed by sufficient funds it will make a big payer.

FIGHT ON SALTON SEA IS ID COME IN THE
 NEXT WEEK
Second and Greatest Effort to Direct Water to Its Orig
 inal Channel,

A. N. Calkins, travelling agent for the Southern Pacific, with headquar- ters in Los Angeles, was a business visitor in the city yesterday. Recent plans inaugurated by his company make MT. Calkins a most interesting talker, especially in regard to the great task that road has taken upon itself to divert the waters of the Col orado from the inland sea 10 their original channel.
 All over the country the Southern Pacific has organized quarters where laborers engaged to work on the big project, and within the next week an army of men will be found below Yuma where the river broke it's banks, trying with all the skill 1t the com mand of the railroads engineers and the brawn of the horde of zen that will be employed, to dam up the great intake to Salton Sea and force the river back into it's old bed.
 The Southern California Develop ment company is building g railroad from near Yuma to the point of the rivers departure from its old bed. The purpose of the railroad is to haul such material to the poin of the break as will be needed to turn the stream away from the artificial sea. Its construction, including other pre- liminary work, has entailed a cost to the company of nearly S100,000 during the past eight months.
 Completion of the road is expected by next week. In the event that the task of turning the river proves sue cessful, it is intended some time in the future to prolong the new railroad into Mexico. where 1t will join the road now passin gthrough Calexico.
 The method by which it is hoped to turn the river back into its original course is simple. A huge headgate has been built at one side of the pres ent river bed into which the stream is to be turned when the proper time comes. The headgate will be also erected in channel leading into the Salton Sea, but will swing around the point where the dam is to be con- structed. The diverting of the river into the improyised channel contain ing the headgate will be a compara- lively easy matter, but it will give the workmen the opportunity of going on with their work unmolested. Two thousand feet of rush mattress will be placed in the channel as a foundation for the dam, and t'.7 b>-rark is to be constructed so strongly as to obviate the possibility of tearing it down.
 At the crucial moment. when the dam is completed. the headgate of the improvised channel will be closed and etiIe stream will naturally seek its present channel But as the dam will bar it's pathway, and as the head gate vii lact as a similar obstacle. the river, it is hoped. will be forced back into its original channel and away from the Salton Sea. Some months ago a somewhat similar at tempt was made, but although the dam stood. the river found soft spot in the embankment through which it found egress.
 The main difficulty in turning the river is in the soft nature of the soil. The alluvial deposit offers little re- sistance to the force of the waters. and the great problem in building the dam is to prevent the stream from finding another opening in the soft smbank- ment.

A FAMOUS NEWSPAPER MAN.

William E. Curtis, the famous cor respondent of the Chicago Record Herald, writes twc-column letter for his paper every day in the year with. out intermission. His powers of sus- tained work are as great marvel a; his faculty of always making his mat ter interesting.
 Probably no other newspaper CO., respondent in the country is read so regularly and eagerly by so many thousands of men and women as Mr. Curtis. Mir. Curtis has travelled sey- eral times around the world. visiting every country under the sun, and writ ing larger number of brilliant and Interesting letters of travel than were ever before produced by a single hand
 Many of these have later been reprint ed in book form. One of his latest expeditions for the Record-Heralc
 was through Mexico, resulting in .
 series of letters as entertaining as those he wrote few years ago from
 India, Turkey and the Holy Land
 His forthcoming letters from Ireland
 Russia and Germany will rival in i'm
 portance and interest any of his preyi
 ous contributions.
 Beginning his career in Chicago as a reporter in 1872, MT. Curtis rapidly
 rose to be managing editor fse re- signed that position to accept a gov ernment appointment as secretary of the South American commission. So brilliantly did he perform the duties fof this office that James G. Blaine. secretary of state, placed him at the head of the Bureau of American Re- publics. At the worlds fair in Chi cago he distinguished himsilf as the executive head of the Latiz-American department. He is a member of al- most every learned society in Wash ington and of many in Europe. It is not strange that hTe RecoTd-Herald prints MT. Curtis letter every day in the first column of the front pag-. and that nothing but a Californi earth quake can displace t from that sta ticn of hcnoT.

PATENTS ON INVENTIONS.

Must BE Il, he Names cf the Actual
E2veEetOrs.
The law provides for the granting OF
patents only to the actual inventor of
the patented invention, and patent
granted in the name of any one else
Is invalid. Tor this reason it is essen
tial that the application for patent be
made in the name of the one whom
the law reTlrds as the inventor. In
some factories it is the custom to pat
Cnt every invention in the name of
tie president of the company. This
frequently happens because the COM
pany has been built up on inventions
made by the president or other officer,
anl as Il matter OF pride the president
wishes to see all patents issued in his
0ame.
THIS is q dangerous thing to do in
he case Of Inventions which We're con-
cciyed by tie employee independently
Of the officer, such as inventions wholly
worked out by employee without sug-
gestioa or assistance from the officer,
for if in q suit brought under such
patent it We're shown that while the
patent was granted in the name of the
officer the Invention was actually made
by an employee the patent would be
declared invalid, and usually a suit
would not have reached such a stage
until it was too late to go back and
patent the invention in the name Of
the real inventor.-EdWin J. Prindle
in Engineering Magazine.

In ire insurance policy the sum In

OLD LEATHER.
Uses to Which Discarded Boots and
Shoes Are Put.

Uses to Which, Discarded Boots and
Shoes Are Put.
Old boots and shoes of leather are
cut up into small pieces and then are
put for two days into chloride of sui
phur, the effect of which is to make
the leather very hard and brittle.
When this is fully effected the mate
rial is withdrawn from the action of
the chloride of sulphur, washed with
water, dried and ground to powder.
It is then mixed with some substance
that will cause it to adhere together,
such as Shellac or other resinous mate
rial or even good glue, and a thick
solution of strong gum.
1t is afterward pressed into moldS to
form combs, buttons and a variety Of
other useful objects.
Prussiate of potash is also made out
of old leather. 1t is heated with pearl
ash and old iron hoops in Il large pot.
The nitrogen and carbon form cyano-
gen and then unite with the iron and
potassium. The soluble portions are
dissolved out and the resulting salt.
added to one of each, produces the
we'll known Prussian blue, either for
dyeing purposes or as pigment
