WATER! WATER! WATER!

The following from the Goldneld
Review is noteworthy for the fact
that it shows how water may be pro-
cured for towns where water is scarce
and suggests thoughts which are
worthy of study in many communities
in this desert country:
Water is an inodorous, transparent,
tasteless fluid. 1t occupies a majority
of the square miles that make up the
Typographical map of Mother Earth.
1t conserves navies and browns ma
vies. 1t destroys a Johnstown and a
Galveston. Ten thousand fleets have
foated over its expanse. Dives would
have given all his worldly wealth for
a drop Of the precious H20, but it was
unpurchasable.
Goldfeld is the occupant of the
geographical heart of the Areat Amer
lean desert Goldfeld existed for
months upon the dribble of Rabbit
springs. Goldfeld was athirst. The
fire demon owned the camp, every
splinter of it. The demon, satiated
with the victory in San Francisco,
licked it's chops and bided its time
but it has been frustrated.
Goldfeld will never be destroyed by
a conflagration. The fate of mining
camps, built in a day, destroyed in a
night, rebuilt by the patient toll OF
months, will not be ours. We have
touched wood.
Walk about the camp and not the
FIRE walls. Observe that one down by
the Hotel Casey, at the Exploration
building. They are perfect BARRIERS
the only handicap asked by Gold
fields fire fighters, a band of sturdy
and brave and sagacious men who
combat fires intuitively, judiciously
and with might and main-men who
conine each con1agration to the
building in which it originates and
carry adjoining buildings away to
leave empty air for fuel.
But-this is the word hat raises
the curtain on the meat and gist OF
the verbal play-but the admixture
of hydrogen and oxygen which lays
waste and destroys in its wrath,
bones on the sands of Death valley
is now becoming Goldfeld IS possession
in both quality and quantity.
Twelve hundred feet above the base
line of this camp are springs which
gush forth, profusely, purely, un-
ceasingly. These waters once water
ed but the desert. The sands drank
up the moisture and man famished
with drouth. Now the metal pipes
are laid to Goldfeld and 10000 people
rejoice, while the Fire Demon, van
pushed, sinks away.
But-the eternal but-but Gold
field is not yet taking advantage OF
all it's possibilities. A score of mines
and prospects have thus far devel.
oped, in addition to ore, an ocean OF
water. 1t is flowing away to the
thirsty and corresponding sands Ten
cents a bucketfull is the value or the
flow of the Jupiter and the Gold
Crown, as well as eighteen of the
score aforementioned. If the city Of
Goldfeld is wise and awake it wi
devise means for placing these waters
in pipes, to the further and utter rout
of the Fire Demon and the making of
shade trees, lawns and flowers.
