EARLY DATE
ST. LAWRENCE MINING co.
TRAMWAY AND CONCEN-
TRAITOR TO BE INSTALLED AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE.

F. G. Williams, general manager
of the st. Lawrence Mining Co., was
an arrival Tuesday evening from
the east. In an interview last even
ing he stated he would go to the
mines today and if the snow has
disappeared, arrangements will be
made for the immediate installation
of-the ramway and ground be broken
for the new 100 ton concentrating
plant.
Mr.. Williams states that there is
an unlimited amour of low grade
ore blocked out which will run about
IL per cent lead and 10 ounces in
silver. This ore can be made to
pay well through concentration. A
large tonnage of high grade lead ore
is also blocked out, running in the
neighborhood of 50 per cent lead
and so ounces silver.
Mr.. Williams says Ely is f~avorably
known in all mining ~centers and that
he was surprised to find so many
people in the east. who were so well
posted on the district. He said a
number of prominent mining men
were about to become interested in
the Osceola district but at the pre-.
sent time he is not at liberty to give
their names.

MEN TO ACQUIRE MEMBER
SHIP HAS STRONG ROSTER.

The Sierra Madre Club, of Los
Angeles, a social organization de-
signed to represent the mining and
oil producing districts of the south
west, will afhliate with the American
Mining Congress and it is expected
that one OF the strongest institutions
in the west will result. The step
was decided upon last week after the
members and directors had listened
to proposals from Mr.. H. L. Thomp-
son, special representative of the
Congress. BY the arrangement
sanctioned by the directors the
initiation fee to the local club will
cover initiation to the national
organization and annual dues will be
RENTED by the local institution. The
club has just secured central quar-
tiers and estimates and plans for
alteration and furnishings are being
made. 1t includes in it's member
ship many of the leading mining
men of the southwest with an honor
airy first vice-president list embrac-
ing all Governors of western states,
the Lieut. Gov. of British Columbia,
the Governor of the territory of
Alaska, the President of the republic
of Mexico and the Governor of the
northern portion of lower California.
Mr.. Seely w. Mudd, the we'll known
engineer, is president, Mr.. ]. Ross
Clark, vice-president and Mr.. Sidney
Nbrman, secretary. The secretary
will be glad to receive applications
from outside mining men of this
district.

Of important industries.
WELLS AND SPRINGS.
The wells and springs of the des-
ert region are few in number and
very irregularly distributed-so ir-
regularly, indeed, that while in some
districts watering places occur in
groups, In others they are thirty to
nifty miles apart. Unusual activity
in railroad work has SO stimulated
prospecting that there Is a large in
hux Of strangers, many of whom do
not fully realize the danger Of
travelling through an arid region,
and it is highly important that the
springs and other watering places
should be located as definitely as
possible and described for the ben
eft of %prospectors and other travel
ers. 1t is believed that this urgent
need for the dissemination of infor-
nation in regard t o the location Of
known watering places and the pos
sibility of locating and developing
water at other favorable points will
be met in part by a report by Gill
bert E. Bailey, which has just been
issued by the United States geologi-
cal survey. as Water-Supply paper
f224.
For many years Mr.. Bailey was
obliged to travel repeatedly many
of the main desert roads and trails,
and the Information presented in his
report was in the beginning intend
ed for his personal use. The
authors acquaintance with some Of
the desert districts is necessarily
more intimate than with others, and
the records are therefore by no
means complete, o are they of uni
form value, but it is believed that on
the whole fairly adequate and accu-
rate descriptions are given of most
of the better known and more ac-
cessible springs and wells, and that
many of those that are less well
known are included. More than 800
watering places are described and
mapped, and the map shows also a
number of the principal roads
Through the desert. These roads
have not been surveyed and only ap-
proximate locations are possible, but
the map at least indicates the usual
routes of travel.
A copy of Mr.. Bailey's report can
be obtained on application to the

that are most easily reached from
California points-is known gen.
orally to the jewellers of the less arid
districts west of the Sierra as 1.-The

to it's various subdivisions. The
most important of the subdivisions
are in the Death Valley region. The
Colorado desert extends from San
Gorgonio pass southwark to the Gulf
of California and includes the de-
preston known as the "Salton
Sink" The Mohave desert lies far
ther north, and it's boundaries are
not SO definite, but it includes much
the greater part of San B~ernardino
county and the eastern portions OF
Los Angeles. and Kern counties,

RESOURCES OF THE DESERT.
At the present time public interest
in this desert region, which COM
prises an area of about $4,000
square miles, is intense, largely be-
cause of the discovery and develop
ment within it of mines that are
heavy producers of gold. The re-
sources of the desert, however, are
not confined to the precious metals
but include a wide range of products
of economic value, among which
may be mentioned several valuable
salts, including borax, soda, gypsum
and common salt; building material,
including marble, onyx, brick clays
and cements; baser metals, like cop
per, iron and lead; and gems,
among which are turquoise and opal.
These products are widely distribut-
ed throughout the desert counties,
and although the existence of some
of them in commercial quantities
and available form is as yet profile

FIRST ROCK ROAD.
II Will Connect Strong City and Cot
tOnWOod Falls.

The bill for a state engineer of roads
and highways was killed in the legis-
lature last winter because it provided
that the governor should make the ap-
pointment, but the rock roads law was
passed and now several Kansas towns
are considering the plan of taking adj
vantage of it. Where any community
or two towns of a cOnsiderab bic sfza are
located close together they can form a
mutual benefit district under this law
and build a connecting link in the
shape Of a rock road. The government
will furnish the engineer and he will
tell them how to build the best road
and will supervise the work.
The government will watch closely
all work on permanent roads this ye3r
and take advantage of the experiments
to get the best and most durable road
for the least expenditure.
Strong City and Cottonwood Fairs
will be the first Kansas towns to con-
meet up with a rock road. Many other
towns are sure to follow the lead when
the advantages of the plan are develop
ed by experience.

FUSS OVER A DITCH.
Farmers in Southern Part of County
Air Troubles in City Court.

The trial of John W. Becker begun
Monday in the court of Topeka and
to be finished this evening involves
the history of a drainage ditch dug
some thirty years ago four feet wide
and three feet deep. It now assumes
proportions like those of Wakarusa
creek into which it leads.
Becker is being tried for filling up
the ditch in order that he might get
onto a corner of his land cut off by
it. He had asked the township COM
missioners to build him a bridge but
it was refused so he used a few rock.
The ditch was dug for the purpose
of draining a road which ~ends
through the vicinity but is used only
by himself. Mr.. Neece and another
neighbor. 1t was dug merely to carry
the water off the road as stated by
the highway commissioners, but
Becker contends that it was dug for
no other purpose than to complete
the north side of the road and which
Neece drains into said road. If
Neece would refrain from running all
the overflow into the road then there
would be no need of the ditch, says
Becker. But Neece is said to have
had some influence with the board of
highway commissioners.
But even at that, when the ditch
was first made it was thought to have
been dug in the land belonging to q
man who would not raise a fuss.
Then it was discovered to be in the
land of Becker and cut off a valuable
patch of potato ground. He asked
for bridge but was refused.
Now the little thread of a rivulet
has widened to twenty feet and deep
ened to 10 feet at the mouth and
both to check the escape of his farm
