not tree, palm, vegetable or

with the statue Of a tree.
Although it sometimes attains a
height of 80 feet, there is no
woody fiber in any part of its
structure, and the lunches grow

are often heavier than the stalk
which supports them. No other

NOVELIST NEARLY
DIES WHEN ALONE

+. Everett Howe the novelist,
who has good looking prospect
in the southern end of the district,
has heen putting in his time
recently working on his claim.
Generally he has had some one
with him but two weeks ago de-
cided, much against the wishes of
his friends to work alone for a
while. He went out to the ground,
apd not showing up for two weeks,
couple of men took walk to
see how he was getting along. In
walking over the hill he had step
ped on loose stone and sprained
his ankle, and had just been able
to crawl TO his camp. He had
only little water and for nearly
two weeks lay helpless in camp.
The boys who found him did what
they could to make him com for
table, came back and got saddle
horse and brought him in. He is
getting along nicely, though his
sprained ankle will bother him
for some time.
Lying alone in camp, helpless
and in pain, without water, hi s
sufferings must have been awful.
1t is doubtful if his mining
ground. even though it turn out
rich, will repay him for the misery
he experienced.- Wonder News.

RANCH PROJECT
ON VAST SCALE

Surveyor James H. Park has
returned from a point about 100
miles east Of Goldfield where the
Kawich Cattle association. a rich
corporation, is making improve
ments with a view to stocking its
ranches and the surrounding range
with large herds of cattle. John
Connolly, formerly with a local
lumber company, is manager Of the
property and kid" Highley is
said to be largey interested in the
enterprise. Water for irrigation
and to supply the stock is being
developed IN the Belted range.
where there are good springs.
Water is also found in good
qantity near the camp, at Cliff
Springs, where the water flows
from the face of a perpe ndicular
cliff of red granite, some 80 feet
above the base and half mil e
long. The 20-foot seam now flows
about "a barrels daily but the
supply ca n be further developed
and 800 yards to the south is a
big gulch with walls 800 feet high,
in which there is strong under
flow Of water and for distance of
a mile or more good Indication of
strong flow coming out of the
pure red granite. Water has
been found here at three places
near the surface.
1t is estimated that the present
supply from this gulch is sufficient
for 500 head of cattle and that
the water can be piped down
economi cally. The company is
procuring 7 inch pipe in Goldfeld
for this purpose, and if sufficient
water is developed will put large
herds on the range. There is an
imm ense territory of good ranges
available. sufficient, with ample
water, for 10000 head Of cattle.
The country is full Of bunch grass
and rye grass. the latter growing
as nigh as mans head.
Near Blotch springs and Chalk
springs, in the Chalk mountains,
the range is said to be particularly
good. Most of the land in this
part Of the state extending from
the KaWich range across Nye
county to the line of Lincoln, is
unsurveyed and is part of the
public domain. From Goldfeld
this country is reached in two and
one-half days travel by way of
the Cactus country to Kawich
and Cliff springs. The company
now has five men employed in dig
ging to further develop the water
supply. -Goldfel Tribune.
