WATER ON THE DESERT AND
ITS PART IN THE
So
LIFE Of MAN

1t is difficult to comprehend the part
water, or rather the lack of it, plays
in shaping the life of the man on. the
desert, writes DIR. ID. Il. McDougass,
in the Outing magazine for February.
Mice and other small animals native
to the desert have been known to live
on hard seeds, without green food of
any kind for several months, or even
as Ion" as two or three years, and
nothing in their behavior indicated
that they had taken moisture in any
form. | have hunted deer and pee
cary in Sorora in regions in which
the only source Of water was to be
found in the cacti: even bands of do
nestle sheep reared in the arid re-
gions, acquire a capacity for going
without water for several weeks at
n time.
Man, however, is poorly armed tor
the rigors of the desert. A horseman

COLORADO VS.. NEVADA.

Thew are off. The gun has been
fired. Cripple Creek perhaps got away
the cleanest, but before the first lap
will have been covered, Goldfeld
should be well in the running. With
no mishaps to steeds or riders, you
can look for one of the prettiest races
yer pulled off.
The stake is supremacy as gold
producing camps in 1908.
There is not so much difference in the
records of the two camps for the past
year and both have suffered handicaps
the burning OF the big mill was a
serious setback Tor Cripple Creek and
the labor troubles knocked off millions
from Gcldfeld.
The year opens with the Goldfeld
situation much improved, with some
of the mines in operation and forces
being steadily increased. Cripple
Creek has really had a fine start; the
big mill is again in operation, and
there is a general spirit of opmitism
prevalent on the part of the operators
and the promises which nave been
handed out lavishly that this is to be
the banner year in the great Colorado
gold camp. Cripple Greek stocks have
been rising as a result of the improved
feeling and there is a resumption of
the old Cripple Creek feeling.
And the great promises are not con-
fined to the accomplishments of Grip
pie Cree' do not have to inter
view more than one Goldfeld booster
to learn that the great Nevada gold
camp is going to double its output of
1907.
The outlook for both of the camps

clear sailing and you will see rolled up
mighty records. which. together with
the other gold producing sections, may
place America ahead of the Transvail
as a gold producer.
The cold mine of today. is having
its first inning. A tremendous gold
production is promised. and according
prosperity is assured. American gold
mines have before peer the salvation
of the financial and industrial condi-
tion of the country, and they never fail
when called upon.

rienees of this kind are numerous. If
the traveller is afoot, abstinence from
water from sunrise to sunset is a Sc

suffering may so disturb his mental

Some estimate can be made of the
fact that the writer during the course

three or -four miles was taken, but no
special muscular effort outside of that
