Denver, Colo.-One of the most dar.
Ing feats that has been accredited to
the men Of the reclamation service in
their battles of converting the deserts
OF the west into productive farms was
the original trip through the swift wa
tiers OF the Gunnison canyon. -

through the Gunnison canyon. There
were many tales Of adventurous In
dams and white men who had attempt
ed the dangers of this canyon, but
none OF them had succeeded and lived
to tell the tale.
w. P. Edwards was the first man
to accomplish this feat. He did it on
rubber mattress, inflated with air.
Boarding his raft at the headwaters
OF the Gunnison, he started on the
Wild ride through It's canyon with the
idea OF prospecting for possible op-
portunity to divert it's waters and get
them upon the desert.
This raft of air and rubber was be-
lieved to be immune to the shocks that
it would meet in plunging headlong

the confidence that was placed In it..
TO be sure, it lost upon occasion much
of the form which it had in the be-
ginning. 1t was punctured and mend

At times it became merely a tiabby
bag that was thrown over the shoulder
OF the voyager as he waded down

it became merely a l1fe-preserver that
kept him atloat In deep eddles.

Well, I'm going back, but I'm leaving

NEAR AWFUL DEATH
"Mud Rush" in Kimberly Diamond
Pit.
Natives Rescued by Their English
Bosses When Shiny Substance
Flooded Shafts-PIanks Placed
On Top of Clay Saved All.

Cape Town, Siberia.-Miners in the
diamond pits Of Kimberley need not
fear fire or falling rock, suffocation by
choke damp or sudden death by ex-
plosion, but they have perils to face,
nevertheless.
One morning band OF natives hard
at work in a corner of the mine were
startled by a dull noise, as il a few
tons OF some soft substance had been
hurled against the high door that sep
arated the spot where they worked
from the long tunnel that led to the
shaft.
"The mud" they cried, and dropped
their picks In an instant.
A mud rush means certain death to
all in it's track. It gives no warming.
1t comes silently like an ugly, wrig-
Cling snake; it works its way swiftly,
spares nothing, covers everything.
The Englishmen at the opening to
the tunnel roared out, "Climb to the
top OF the WALL" which the natives
promptly did. There for the time at
least they were safe.
Soon the tunnel was tunnel no
longer, but mass of quivering slime.
The mud flowed for hours. Then it
gradually slowed and ceased.
The Englishmen outside sat around
on a ne1ghb0r1ng rock and looked
down helplessly into the pit. All man.
ner of suggestions were made, most
OF them worthless, but in the end it
was decided to try to reach the men,
not by removing the mud, but by pass.

which they made are also of more simple type
than those found in the river-terrace gravels'
which are nevertheless more ancient. Therefore,
If We are to Judge of the type of from the i'm
plements he made, the earlier riverdrift man was
of more advanced type than the later Mouste-
rian Neanderthal man. The famous find at
Galley Hill Of portions of human skeleton In
the very ancient 100-foot terrace of the Thames
has proved this to be true; for here we have
type of skull which is by means degraded and
associated with flint implements which show
advanced civilization.
Thus the evidence of the fints and the evidence
OF the human bones are In entire agreement;
but the 1O0foot terrace of the Thames at Upmin-
ster, In Essex, rests upon, and is therefore less
ancient than the chalky boulder clay. and under
this boulder clay at Ipswich a modern type of
man has been found! And yet not quite modern
Tor the Ipswich mans tibia shnbone, is differ
ent in every way from ours and not only ours
but from any which have hitherto been found or
described. This peculiar tibia which, as Profess
sor Keith says represents stage in evolution
and will serve to distinguish the race to which
this man belonged was no doubt associated with
his manner OF walking, but at present it is i'm
possible to say exactly what this association was.
The finding of a modern type of below the
chalky boulder clay, is, has been suggested at
first sight rather puzzling, but the dexterously
faxed implements which have been found in the
older middle-glacial gravels, and the still much
older detritus bed below the red crag, make the
discovery much more easy to understand. The
outstanding fact about this discovery is that
at such an immensely remote period as that pre-
ced1ng the deposition Of the chalky boulder clay
modern man was already evolved, and that to find
the primitive human type we shall have to carry
our investigations back into a still more dim and
distant past.

The earliest trace of the skeleton of man yet
