RICH STRIKE AT VULTURE.

CAREY ACT IS
AGREAT BOON
TO STATE HAVING UNPRODUC-
TIVE DESERT LANDS.
Receiver 0. r. Robinson Says That
This Method of Reclama-
ton is a Success.

Now that Arizona has passed a Car
ey act law, California is awakening
% the fact that it has been asleep
to its opportunities in not taking ad-
vantage of this act, and thus reclaim
ing many thousands of acres of land
that the government is ready to
award to the state free.
Under the provisions of the Carey
Act, the state of Idaho has reclaim
ed many thousands of acres of waste
ands, which are now being profit
ably titled. In Oregon and 9th. =
states ito which the act applies, vast
areas of land have been reclaimed
and sold at cost to settlers.
The Carey act, which became a
law i'm 1894 providing that land would
be given free to certain STATES which
are willing ito reclaim them. In or
der to obtain the land. the state
must first prove to the government
that the project is practicable
After the land has been reclaimed.
the state is required to sell it at a
price to be fixed by the state in
quantities not ito exceed 100 acres %
any one person. The money that lis
received by the state i'm excess of the
cost Of reclamation lis to be placed
into a trust fund ito be used in some
tu' tlre project of a similar kind

present time is flooded, the water riss

Hhis will be removed as fast as pos
sible. and sinking will be resumed
The last step In the organization
of the new company was taken Tues
lay when Judge Mack of the United
States court at Phoenix discharged
the receiver for the old company
John Metz of Tucson This order
followed a friendly hearing ON an is
sue of fact raised by the company
hal it had been at no time inSolvent
and that it was now prepared to- dis
charge all the indebtedness against
it except the bonded indebtedness on
which the interest will be paid.
Mr.. c. Clerc of Paris, distinguish,
ed mining man. is the new general
manager, and it was largely Through
his efforts that a reorganization wa.
made possible. He succeeded in en-
listing the interest of Schultz Bros
bankers of Amsterdam, and they aln
dertook the raising of $4,0O0,00O o.
which $283 900 was to be raised a.,
once for the payment of thelabor and
other urgent claims including the in

A OST Of US have the habit of crit
MI icism, and 1t is one Of the Qost
disagreeable and at the same
time one Of the cheapest that can be
cultivated The veriest ignOramus and
Vulgarian can criticize, or find fault
not always intelligently, perhaps, but
1ntelligently enough to suit himself
When one meets a stranger who has
any decided personality one cannot
avoid forming some opinion of the new.
acquaintance. One must observe some
thing. and what that something will be
depends largely upon the trend of mind
of the observer.
1t is strange that so many people
should seek points to censure rather
than qualities to admire in those with
whom they are thrown in contact It
IS much pleasanter to regard agreeabl
things than disagreeable-then why
accent the latter class by paying spe-
cial attention 10 them?
When I was a girl I cut from a cal
enoar and posted in my scrapbOOk the
suggestion: Strive TO learn the hard
lesson Of admiring rather than criti-
Ching" do not know who wrote the
wise bit Of counsel, but 1 wish I could
thank the writer. The words stuck. not
only in the book, but in my mind, and
have said themselves over often when
j have been tempted to pass what some
one calls a snapshot judgm ent," Tt is
surprising when one follows the advice
many delightful people one meets and
how many admirable traits one notes
In almost every acquaintance
WOuId Be Happier.
For ii is a truism that in our inter
course with others we usually See
the characteristics for which we are
searching And, II we would consider
the matter simply from the standpoint
ate that we would be much happier II
we looked only for the good things
in our friends and acquaintance.
Then, too. the absence of criticism
makes one much more acceptable as
companion and guest Does not each
OF US know some person who is so
critical that we dread to have her
meet our friends2 OF course, the critic
herself is not all that she blames 9TH
ers Ior not being, but she has grown
accustomed to looking for defects
rather than for beauty.
Note how quick some women are TO
detect the questionable touch IN a
costume, to remark that a sleeve is OF
last years cut. OF that a certain hat
IS no longer in style And. all the time
the dress that is under fire may be Of
an exquisite material and the colCrs
on the hat really artistic. Then why
not look at those features, and If one
must make any comment let Il be Of
apprect alton OF these pleasing thingse
The lesson Of "admiring rather than
criuciZing may be hard one to learn.
but the converse=that of criticizing
rather than adm.ring-can be acquired
with painful facility. And il is q habit
that grows until IL makes the posses

and then. Of course, We do not enjoy
her presence anywhere or at any time.
What difference the viewpoint Of
those we meet makesl A woman was
ready 10 go walking with a friend
when the friend remarked that she in
tended stopping for a few minutes at
