In the valley between the PecOs and
the Rio Grande, beginning near Sandia
mountain, is the bed of an old river
with all its tributaries, it's falls, it's
shadows and Its bends. 1t is 300 miles
long and many feet wide, but it is only
the ghost of river, for there is no
water there. 1t passes by the ruins Of
Gran Quivira, Its bed Is strewn with
broken lava. and 1t terminates In a
salt marsh. The Indians have legend
that long ago the waters were deep
and swift there until one day great
fire swept down the valley, tapping up
the waters, leaving the bed empty, the
banks barren and the valley desolate
forevermore.

THE PANSY INDUSTRY.

Il Is Profitable For Market Plants and
For Seeds.
In an ounce of pansy seed there are
about 10000 seeds They sell In this.
souHtry from 50 to $40 an ounce With
nm ounce of seed one should raise at
feast 1000 plants They are used for
fut flowers in winter, for vases In the
spring. also for bedding. In the GENE
teries of Greater New York they are
planted by the millions, and almost
every house where there Is a garden
shows some also The pansy industry
is not only profitable for market plants,
but also for the seeds. There are import
ed to this country at least 500 pounds
every year. Uncle Sam buys at least
fifty pounds. Instead of buying these
seeds abroad they could be raised In
this country in places where the climate
is moderate and the ground fertile.
Time Of Seed Sowing.
Pansies for business are sown around
New York from July Is to Aug. Is.
They can be sown later, but here they
want the quantity, not the quality. A
plant In full growth with from six to
ten flowers is what the people like:
SO long as they show flowers they sell.
After the plants are big enough to
transplant from September to October
they are planted in rows in frames or
outdoors. Those planted in frames are
protected In the cold weather with hot
bed sash 3 by e. The plants commence
to sell at Easter, and sales last till Me-
mortal day, but the bulk Of the busi-
ness is from the LIST Of April to May
Is. The plants are sold in boxes, call
ed flats, about five inches deep. There
are fifty plants In a fat. The plants
are also sold i'm baskets about dozen
In each. The fats are sold to florists.
the baskets to retail customers. The
boxes from which flats are made are
bought In summer and packed up In
the yard, and in winter, when the
work is slack, then the pansy man
makes his flats.

COWBOYS BOOTS.
Why the Plainsmen Want High and
Sharp Pointed Heels.

Why the Piainsmen Want High and
Sharp Pointed Heels.
In Olathe, Kan, there is factory
which makes 200 pairs of cowboy
boots each week. Each pair of these
boots is made to order. fhe company
has catalogue, which 1t sends to the
cattle ranches throughout the south
west 1t tells the cowboys how to take
measurements of their own feet These
are sent to the factory aud the boots
made aud sent out.
A COW boy boot is in distinct
class by itself. The leg must be dec
Grated with fancy lines and curves
sewed into the leather. and, above ey-
erything else, the heel must be at
least two inches high, must curve in
ward from the back, and the bottom of
the heel must be very small.
A cowboy takes especial pride In two
things his hat and his boots He often
pays 500 for his hat, and the best of
the cowboy boots cost from So to $40.
The ordinary shoemaker cannot make
boots TO suit true COWBOY; ne cannot
get the heels right, and so the cowboy
sends away for them and pays big
price and express charges besides.
The factory in Olathe employs Atty
men. All Of the work Is done by hand.
and some Of the shoemakers were
brought from Germany and England
especially to work in that factory.
Cowboys say they have high and
sharp pointed heels to their boots not
because of vanity and pride, but AS
matter of convenience. The high heels
prevent the boots from passing through
the stirrups. and they are also brace
when on the ground roping an animal.
As the steer pulls to get away the cow
boy sinks his sharp heels into the sod,

The third group, to be known as the

Segal. On this ground there is por-
pfyry dixie about 40 feet in width which
is largely impregnated with copper and
traceable on the surface for 1000 feet,
throughout the entire length and breadth
the copper values range from to per

OUTLOOK FOR RED
METAL IS GOOD
Government Figures Show the
Situation to be Promising.

The statistics being compiled rapidly
by the government touching upon the
history of copper production and con-
sumption during 1906, the copper inter
ests of Nevada are beginning to feel de-
cidetly easier regarding the situation for
the present season. The feeling IS gen
eral throughout the East and West that
the present price OF copper is not high
when taken into consideration i'll con-
nection with the figures being given out
by the government. One prominent cop
per operator stated that the increase in
demand for the red metal is SO out OF
proportion to the increase in production
that the present year will find the level
of copper ranging we'll above the high
water mark.
During the past year the increase in
copper production in the United States
was between 3 and per cent. over the
preceding year. The increase in con-
sumption, however, was between 70 and
Is per cent. This condition presents an
interesting study, and one that cannot
but lead to consoling conclusions for the
Nevadan interested in a portion of the
earth containing the ores of copper. 1t
is stated that the proportion above
given between the supply and consump-
ton will be repeated this year, for such
great camps as Ely Bingham Yering-
ton and others. will hardly be in trim for
results this season

paid the handsome sum of $50 900, 900
