CONTRIBUTING
IN STATE PRISON
Spurious Half Dollars Made and
Circulated by Convicts at
Charlestown. Mass.

Boston, Aug. 10-How three inmates OF
the State prison at Charestown were able
to construct a conterfeiting outfit and
manufacture spurious half dollars has
been discovered by secret service officers.
Ever since July q. when the State prison
officials learned that counterfeit half
dollars were In circulation In the prison.
and that some had got outside, an inves-
tigation has been in progress. At that
time II became known that Patrick Han
ley of Lynn, who is serving a S-year
sentence as a habital criminal, was In
volved
Tonight Il was announced at the Of
flee of the United States district attor-
ney that two other prisoners had been
found to be accomplices OF Hanley, and
that the cases Of all three would no pre-
scented TO the federal grand jury next
fall
The method of the counterfeiters
was ingenious. They secured from
unknown sources some scraps OF tin
and lead. n jewelers. crucible and some
plaster Of paris, one OF the trio, who
has a knowledge of electricity. cut In
on the electric light wires In Hanleys
cell attached two pieces Of carbon and
placed them on a small sheet Of iron
covered with fre-proof cement. on
the white hot carbon the crucible was
placed. the metal was melted and the
coins were manufactured In plaster
Of paris mould.
II IS suspected that there vas an
accomplice outside the jail who as
sisted in the distribution OF the coins
and the supplying Of material for their
manufacture.

II is probable that further exploration will
disclose large additional supplies of ores Of
various kinds. especially those OF low grade,
which will prove profitable under improved
methods of reduction.
The southwest presents a variety Of topo-
graphic features, and many Of its economic
resources are closely related to them There
Is great range in altitude, with corresponding
variation in climatic conditions. One of the
most salient features is the wide, high plateau
Of northern Arizona, which reaches an alti-
tude of 5000 feet. 1t Is surmounted by vari-
volcanic peaks. notably San Francisco
peak, which is 1851 feet above sea level
To the east this district merges into
irregular series of high pateaus, constituting
the western half of New Mexico.
To the west and south 1t drops by huge
steps into the great region Of desert valleys
or blossoms of Nevada western Arizona, and
southeastern California. These deserts are
wide. long plains, lying between mountain
ridges of varying lengths and heights, ridges
and trend north and south.
Diagonally across southern California there
extends the long curving ridge Of the Sierra
Madre and San Bernardino mountains, be-
tween which and the ocean lies the large oval
area known as the valley Of southern Califor-
MIA. This valley Is the great citrus fruit dis
trict, and Los Angeles.
There are two great rivers In the south
west the Colorado and the Rio Grande The
Colorado river has been compared to the Nile
and the similarity Is notable. Both are
streams OF the first rank, rising In high noun
tains, and finally crossing a broad region of
semi-tropcal nearly rainless deserts Both
empty into seas In nearly the same latitude
and their lower courses are through wide del
tas OF fertile soil The annual overfows add
new sediments fertile with plant food and at
a time favorable for the crops.
The agricultural capabilities are closely
similar but while much of the lower Nile val
ley is utilized the Colorado valley Is just be-
ginning to be settled. The watershed area of
the Colorado, with its two head branches. the
Green and the Grand. is over zoe, 900 square

the average desert bear an extensive, though
somewhat widely spaced, fora. Many desert
regions contain numerous settlements, the Sa-
hara desert for instance having population
Of 100000. Loose sand is a. minor feature,
and much more prevalent on the seacoasts and
along the bottom lands of rivers There are
wide areas Of bare rocks, and the larger des-
erts include mountains. ridges, mesas and deep
canyons
The deserts Of the southwest are regions
OF very scanty rainfall, parts of them having
only three inches year and evaporation Of
eighty inches or more.

the Colorado river across the high plateau Of
northern Arizona. The view from the rim
