Culbertson owes its prosperity to
the development OF the surrounding

farming region. Along the valley
there are some efforts at irrigation

even there many OF the farmers are
using so-called dry farming methods
for conserving the moisture. having
found by experience that by so doing
they get better results from less wa

overdone.

NATURAL ICE MANUFACTORY.

Deadwood. s. D.. Sept. 3-A most
peculiar natural phenomenon has
been discovered near Englewood. and
thus far a satisfactory explanation
has not been found The curiosity
is in the nature of a natural ice man
ufactory which does a better business
in the summer than in the winter.
The location is a ninety-six-foot tun-
mel. driven for prospecting purposes.
which is an almost constant producer
of ice, which forms readily during the
summer months and gradually melts
in the winter.
The tunnel is now half full at the
face. The layer becomes thinner as 1t
extends towards the mouth. and dis
appears entirely about fifteen feet
from the portal. In winter the tenn
perature of the tunnel gradually rises
until il goes above the freezing point.
but this temperature is never con
tinued long enough TO melt all the
ice.
The only explanation given is that
the freezing temperature is created
by drafts of air entering through
three crevices. These drafts. coming
in contact with the water. holding i'm
solution certain chemicals cause a
rapid evaporation which produces an
intense cold. No explanation. how
ever. is forthcoming of the fact that
ice forms only in the summer.
