Some OF the other students who were

way towards me.

On the other hand there are men who
will just as strenuously contend that
irrigation water is better than rain
water. Neither is right. The func-
ton of water in plant life is to carry
the mineral salts derived from the
earth into the tree and up to the
leaves.
The idea that the air has valuable
mineral substances in it that are
brought down by rain and snow can
not be sustained. 1t is we'll known
that if we want water free from min
erals, we must get pure rain water or
distilled water and they are practical
ly the same. The watery vapor that
rises in the still and the watery vapor
that rises from the ocean are free from

j. w. Hamilton, st. Paul, Mimi,
under date of March Doth, makes the
following statement and then asks the
important question here presented:
Gin your issue of the 10Th inst, and
in others | note your very strong con-
tention that there is, without regard
to the quality Of the fruit, no differ
ence in the value of irrigation water
as compared with that from clouds.
This is strenuously denied by many
writer's, and while it may be presump-
tious on my part, yet l wish to sug-
gest for your consideration whether
there is not more or less valuable
mineral substance in the air which is
brought to earth by rain or snow,
thus fertilizing the soil on which it
falls, Of which the water from rivers
or mountains would be derived; as
such sediment would naturally stay
where it fell, or at least fail to reach
an orchard one hundred miles away.
We are told that drops of water have
a nucleus Of matter around which
they form, and if SO is this not of fer
tilizing value to the earth 'on which
it falls? Perhaps you would be good
enough to comment on this in some
issue of your very valuable paper. ]
believe that the Canadian Government
has prepared some data on this sub
ject.'
| wish to thank friend Hamilton
for calling my attention to this mat
ter. No one need fear to call any
of my statements in question. l am
not intallible and if l cannot furnish
the proof for my statements, l ought
to be defeated and if | am conscious
of my failure to prove my assertions,
I will willingly admit my error.
Whether can convince Mr.. Hamil

which all can understand. Three per
or common salt. The hot sun beating
down on the surface of the ocean turns
some Of the water into vapor and this
floats away in the air and when 1T
meets a cold stratum of air it Is con-
densed and falls as rain. Catch some
Of this lain water and see il you can
taste any salt in it. Not a particle.
The evaporation that takes place in
raising the watery vapor from the
surface of the ocean leaves all trace
of the mineral known as chloride of
sodium behind. This is equally true
of the minerals that enter into plant
growth which are sulphur, phosphor-
us. potassium, magnesium, calcium
(lime), iron and possibly chlorine.
Not one of these minerals can be
found in the air. They are in the
earth and not in the air. There are
ten or eleven elements that enter into
the growth of plants. | will make a
quotation from Percival's great work
on Agricultural Botany showing how
scientific men determine just what
elements are absolutely necessary to
plant life. Percival says on page 1862:
''To determine with certainty which
elements are indispensable for proper
nutrition and growth, cultivation eX-
periments must be carried out in soil
or other media, the composition OF
which is accurately known and which
can be regulated and kept under con-
troll. This is best achieved by the
methods of water culture and sand
culture, which consist in growing the
giants in pure water or in pure sand,
to which are added compounds OF the
various elements whose influence is to
be studied. By means of such ex-
periments it has been proved that
only ten elements are really essential
for the growth of green plants, name
ly, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitro
gen, sulphur, phosphorus, potassium,
magnesium, calcium and iron; posi-
bly to this list chlorine should be add
ed.
ALI attempts to grow plants IN soil
or water from which any one or more
of these elements are excluded end in
failure. The other elements some
times found in plant ash are superttu-
GUS; even sodium and silicon, which
are present in all plants growing in
ordinary soils, are not indispensable,
for healthy specimens capable OF pro-
ducing seeds can be reared without
them'
There is no question among sc1en-
titic men that the last seven elements
above named including chlorine must
come from the soil, while the first
four come from the air. Carbon is
the most important factor in plant life
for about one half of the dry matter
in all plants is carbon but it enters
the plants through the leaves. Hydro
gen and oxygen combined as two
parts of hydrogen to one part OF oXy-
gen constitutes pure water. Nitrogen
the other element we find III the air
can not do the plants any good unless
turned into nitrates by combining
with q metallic base such as sodium,

SURVEYOR DROWNED
IN NORTHERN WASHOE

RENO, New, Sept. 12.-Surveyor
General Kyle last evening received
telegram from Gerlach, in the
northern part of this county, stat
ing that Fred c. Smith, a young
surveyor, had been drowned in the
warm springs at Gerlach while in
bathing. The telegram also stated
that the body had not been re-
covered.
Smith, who was quite a young
fellow, left this city with party
of sixteen on the 25th of August,
to make government surveys in tn
nothern part of this county under
the direction of William Strover,
supervisor of surveys in Nevada.
The springs near Gerlach, in which
the young man was bathing are
not very large, and how he hap
pened to drown in them is unac-
countable.

TONS OF
DYNAMITE FIRED
IN one BLAST
II. c. ROGERS, WELL KNOWN
POWDER MAN, SUPERINTENDS
THE EXPLOSION.

H. G. Rogers, the veteran expert
of the Giant Powder Company, Con-
solidated, of California, arrived in
Tonopah yesterday after an absence
of several weeks. Mr.. Rogers spent
his time at Fleming, clay quarry
near San Bernardino, where he su-
perintended the discharge of fifteen
tons of giant powder. The blast
was the largest ever fired in south
ern Nevada, and it is estimated that
100000 tons of clay were loosened.
The quarry is the property of the
Portland Cement company and the
thirty thousand pounds of dynamite
was used to- blast "a mountain, and
when the smoke died away, the hill
was transformed into crumbling
mass So accurate were Mr. Rog-
ers' calculations that not a lump
of earth was thrown on the tracks
of the Santa Fe railroad, $50 feet
distant. Mr.. Rogers was the re-
cipient of congratulations from the
officials of the cement company who
witnessed the blast, and also from
large crowd of spectators who
journeyed out from San Bernardint
to witness the explosion.

STRIKE MADE
IN VICINITY OF
CEDAR CORRALS
NEW DISCOVERY MADE in DIS
TRICT EIGHTEEN MILES
EAST OF TONOPAH.

News of new find of ore in
the immediate vicinity of Cedar
Corrals, within eighteen miles Of
Tonopah, east, created a small
stampede of prospectors to the new
discovery. Four samples brought in
last Thursday and assayed by one
of the local assayers returned val
ues running $14 to 1925 to the
ton in silver and gold, the princi-
pal values in the white metal.
The prospecting work consists of a
trench twenty feet in length on
the groupings, which are between
three and one-half and four feet
wide.
The strike was made by J. j.
Clark and Ed Johnson of Silver
Bow. Charles Glenn and Elmer
Damon of the same place have Sc
cured a number of promising ad-
, joining claims on which they have
started to do development work
Several prominent local capitalists
have been out and visited the
scene of the latest strike and speak
| favorably of it, but do not think
well of the prohibitive figure asked
for the property.
