BEST ASBESrOSFROM ARIZONA

Washington, July 24.-In a re port issued today by the United States geological survey it is de clared that the best asbestos yet found in the country occurs in Ari- zona. The report says:
 "The best asbestos yet found anywhere in the United States oc. CUTS in a national monument, near the bottom of the Grand Can yon of Arizona. The quality of the asbestos is exceptional, as are also the grandeur of the scenery in it's locality and the peculiarity of its mode of occurrence.
 ''It is cross fiber chrysotile. and locally the fiber is four inches in length. This locality has been de seribed in Mineral Resources for 1904 and 1907. The asbestos out crop being 1000 feet above the bot tom of the canyon on the north side. the asbestos must be packed on donkeys about a dozen miles down one side of the canyon and up the other 4OOO feet to the brink upon the south side, from which point it must be hauled 20 miles to the railroad for shipment.
 "The asbestos is associated with belt of limestone where affected by an intrusion of diabase. The serpentine including the chrysottle is supposed to have derived from proxene contained in the limestone and forms narrow belt in the limestone wherever influenced by the diabase.
 "The rocks have recently been studied in detail by L. F. Noble, who has traced the asbestos for a number of miles west from Asbes. tos creek, and has shown that il probably occurs on the west side oi PowelPs Butte. This asbestos out. crop. though narrow and not con- tinuous, occurs at intervals in the same horizone for many miles in the depths of the Grand Canyon The inaccessibility of it's locality and the difficulty of mining so thin mass will limit the operations tc open cuts along the outcrop, per- hitting shipment of only the hand cobbed, best grade of material. A small quantity of such material less than a car load, has been brought to the brink of the canyon from the prospects near Bass ferry but none has been sold."

People are very forgctful. They

y. Walter Dixon. OF Pueblo County,
who both retired from the bench at
the same time.
The main point of the plaintiffs ar
gumcnt against the answer Is the al
legation that sham dcnials are made
by the defendant. In regard to the
cross complaint IL Is alleged that the
main allegation on which damages are
based is that the plaintiff was In
conspiracy and filed the suit at such a
time that IL would be published broad
cast throughout the country. The de-
PENDANTS ask for $3.50, 900 damages on
the grounds that the alleged conspira-
cy was originated for the purpose Il
injuring the business OF the Twin
Lakes company.
The plaintiffs charge in the COM
plant that the company has mis-.
managed the affairs of the Bob Creek
ditch and that more water has been
sold than can be delivered. The plain
Till also asks for an order restraining
the company from selling more water
rights.
One Of the things charged yesterday
by attorneys for the plaintiff is that
the cross complaint was filed prime ip-
ally for the purpose OF revealing the
members OF the Bob Creek Protective
association, the members OF which are
plaintiffs in the action.

The power Of alfalfa to restore

ticient in humus and nitrogen Is ap-
parent to the most casual observer
who will compare the crops grown on
alfalfa sod with those on ordinary soii
or even where barnyard manure has
been heavily applied. Realizing these
facts it is evident that alfalfa should
be more extensively grown in our
crop rotations to maintain ard restore
the soil that is being depleted by the
large crops OF sugar beets, spuds ana

hay are sacrificed each year FOR the
more remunerative returns from DeeIs
cantaloupes or potatoes and as Il re-
