EVAPORATION AND
 WAFER RESOURCE 5

Prof. Bigelow of the Weather Bureau Here to Arrange for Scientific Ob- servations at Roosevelt-Salton Sea Experiments.
Arizona republican., 1908-09-17

The opinion concerning the immaterla effect of the sea is based not on this alone but on observations at Indio, al Mammoth Tank and at Brawley, sta tions along the Southern Pacific al differing intervals of distance from i the sea. Another little experiment was
 made the past season by Prof BigeloW
 He ran long parallel evaporation plans from the sea inland for 1900 feet and found the evaporation was faster near CT the sea than it was at the other end The phenomena of evaporation is sub tie and it's laws are little understood all of which makes the proposed eX- periments at Salton sea most desirable as the opportunities offered are unusu- ally inviting.
 Concerning the change of climate
 Prof Bigelow says the people speak very thoughtlessiy or without stopping to inform themselves of easily acquired facts. Though Salton sea is quite a large body of water, containing about 440 square miles, the total of its liquid contents is small compared to the an- nal precipitation over the area which many people contend is affected by lilt sea- d ui6Ic uIOp III lilC buNhCt us it were, cOmpard to the amount of
 water that falls annually between here
 and the California desert.
 Speaking of the proposed eXperi- ments at SaltOn Prof Bigelow said he
 did not care to go into great details
 yet but in a general way he outlined
 the plant The permanent camp will
 be established where the railroad
 crosses an arm of the sea. A long pier will be built out itno the sea for the season that the experiments are to
 be continued for five or six years and
 as the sea is drying up at the rate of
 six feet a year, the observation towers
 must be placed in what is now very
 deep water one tower will be placed
 where the water is twenty-five feet
 deep, another at the depth of forty
 feet and another at the depth of fifty
 five feet As they will be perhaps
 forty feet above the water line with evaporation basis placed every ten feet, the taller one will necessarily be about 100 feet above the bottom of the sea and all will have to be built heavily and set firmly to defy the wind and
 waves, both of which are sometimes
 very strong Observations will be talk en every four hours both day and night.
 This plant and the experiments to be
 made with it will De quite an expense
 but the weatheS bureau service believes
 it will be well worth the money.

Professor and Mrs. F. H. Bigelow arrived here yesterday morning. from Los Angeles and are guests of the Ho-
 tel Adams. Professor BigelOw IS pro- lessor of meteorolOgy in the weather
 bureau. service with which he has been connected for seventeen or eighteen
 years and is in charge Of the division of cimatology. He is engaged now Tn two lines of research, in both of which this valley has a material interest for the information he gathers and the facts he hopes to establish are directly connected with the work of reclamation of arid lands and the conservation of resources.
 One of the things above referred to is the snowfall on the higher mountain ranges of the watersheds and the oth- CT is the study of the subject of evap- Ioration. In respect of the former the difficulties to overcome are climatic rather than scientific. the point being that where the heavy snoWfalls occur | in the high mountains there are few human habitations and few persons whose services can be secured to make ! Observations unless they be employed specifically for that purpose. That would be quite expensive beside the l fact that very few people would care
 to spend their winters under such cir tcumstances even when they were well paid for it The importance of secur- , ing this information is apparent for ] these snows are the chief source of
 water supply for the great watersheds and it is highly important to know

CLOSED DOORS
FOR DIVORCE CASE
FROM ALL ACCOUNTS CLOSED
EARS WOULDN'T DO ANY
HARM EITHER.

The Coslett divorce case reached
the stage yesterday where the doors
had to be closed. The windows were
closed, too, so that none of the pro-
ceedings might escape, and in case
the wind was blowing be waited
down on the breeze. For there was
something going on behind the
screens that would have set ears
tingling and muffiers working.
The lawyers went into the inner
most secrets of the Coslett house
hold. although from the evidence of
the three or four days before there
did not seem to be left much for the
imagination, but even the argument
of the lawyers is to be heard behind
closed doors: but the doors will open
sometime, and the public will know
whether the Cosletts are to remain
one OF two.

TODAY IS PAYDAY
FOR The Miners
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL
LARS TO BE DISTRIBUTED
y IN SOLID COIN.

This is payday at the mines, and
cash in the neighborhood of $780,
600 is to be paid to the miners for
the month which has just passed.
Another payday. and another cash
payment. At no time has Tonopah
failed to pay its miners in the sound
coin of the realm, and this in the
face of the hard times, and the al
most impossible chance of getting
money out of the banks.
Heretofore the payments have
been made in gold coin; today they
will be made in gold and silver. This
is being done for the reason that the
mine owners want to get as much
silver in circulation as possible 50
that the government will be COMPEL
ed to call for the purchase of more,
and so help the silver mines and in
crease the price of the metal. Silver
has been down as low as fifty cents
and it is now back to fifty-eight
cents. 1t should be worth twice as
much, but while it is in the neighbor-
hood of sixty cents, there is no dan.
ger of any of the mines shutting
down.
