Prof f. f. Jaffa of the University of

the various ships now at the Mare
Island navy yard feel that a great in
justice would be done them If the
recommendations of the naval officers
committee appointed last summer to
report on needed changes in the naval
personnel bill should be adopted.
This report may cause many OF the
chief boatswains and chief gunners to
lose upward of $500 in pay per annum.
The committee was appointed by the
Secretary of the Navy and was COM
posed entirely of line officers, and as
consequence the Annapolis graduates
have planned to hinder instead of help
the practical officers of the navy
The warrant and chief officers, who
may lose their pay. are generally men
who entered the navy as boys and
worked their way up to their present
positions by merit and attention to
duty. If the recommendations should
be adopted these men would find that
after having served from ten to twenty
years in the service they would be cut
down considerably in their annual pay

WATER FOR NEW CAMPS
Greenwater May Obtain Supply by
Gravity Across Funeral Mountains

Il have located a flow of water car
rying 100000 gallons each twenty
four hours of pure, cold water, 500, 900
gallons of which will flow across the
Funeral Mountains to Greenwater by
gravity" was the statement made yes
terday by B. X. Brockinton. One mil
lion gallons of this flow has an alti-
tude of 1000 feet. and it can be utilized
for generating electrical power, to be
used for operating mines, furnishing
electric lights for the towns and cities
of the desert. which are growing up
and will continue to grow.
This 4000-foot elevation occurs in a
distance of six miles from Death Val
ley The water is located on Telescope
1924 feet high. The report of the
United States Geological Survey and
records on file at independence. the
county seat of Inyo County, show the
existence of this water. and why it
has been overlooked this far 1 cannot
understand.
Il have had peaceable possession of
this water since July Is last, and have
had men at work there since September
8. For reasons that will be obvious, /
have kept the discovery of this water
supply quiet until now, but now that
have perfected my locations under the
water laws of California / have moth
ing to conceal.
-Four million gallons of the water
comes out of a hole in a rock, and as it
is far above all saline deposits it is alb
solutely pure and clear. The location is
about twenty miles in an air line from
Greenwater and a pipe line twenty five
miles long will bring it to this town.
At the point where the pipe line would
cross Death Valley 1t is 3S4 feet below
sea level. This would be at BENEFITS
Well. The highest point on Sthis side
is CIarks Canyon, 1900 feet high.
"One of these springs is located in the
left fork of Honupi Canyon-siXty
inches-as shown by a Government re-
port; in the right fork of the canyon
there are forty inches.
Near the springs there are acres of
the finest kind of wild grapes, and lots
of willows. l have a number of men
now building a road to the water.
While the amount of water I have men
toned can be had now, the supply can
be doubled by building reservoirs and
conserving the supply.
THE discovery of this water supply
may mean the building of smelters near
Greenwater and result in a large, per-
manent increase of the population of
the town.
Mr.. Brockinton has been in this sec
ton and the Panamint since September,
1905. Prior to that time he was for
eight years in the KlondilSe country.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
SANTA ROSA, Jan. 14.-Miss Gladys
Hearbst. the 11-year-old daughter of
Mrs A E. Hearbst of this city, who
was taken from her mother by her
father shortly after the April disaster,
when he left the family destitute, af-
ter sending them to this city from Oak
land, returned to her mother here to-
day. The arrival of the child was
entirely unexpected. She came just
after her mother had received a letter
from Attorney J. W. Ross of Bisbee,
Ariz., saying the money which had been
sent to pay the daughters fare to this
city had never been received.
According to the child's story the
father changed his name to Gus Miller
after sending the mother and two sons
here. and, taking the girl, left for the
South. Gladys says she was kept in
fear of her father, who acted strangely
and refused to tell her anything about
her mother and brothers, where he was
going or what he was doing. She was
deserted at Bisbee, where Attorney and
Mrs. Ross took care of her and saw
that she reached her mother.
No trace has been found of Hearbst,
who said he was going to Ell Paso when
he left Gladys in Bisbee. 1t is believed
that he became insane from the ef-
fects of the disaster.
