STANFORD CREW
. IS "BROkE" NOW
California Eight Took Sec
ond Place, but Hasn't Cash
to Get Back Home. 9
y FRANK ID. lIENKE.

New York June 29.-Members Of the
Leland Stanford crew which took sec
ond place in the POughlSeepsie regatta
Monday are wondering haw they'll get
back home. The money contributed
for their expenses was Just ABOUT
enough to get them to the Hudson river
The weather that the Californians
have encountered in New York state
has handicapped them as is shown by
the following letter received by the
writer from Charles h Orme, captain
elect of the crew.
Our four day trip from the coast
TO POughkeepsie affected US just like
breaking training It was extremely
hard on all of US I lost eight pounds
during the trip and the other boys also
shed some of the necessary weight.
The conditions We have found al
POughkeepsie are very different from
those in the west The weather is most
troublesome. as the humidity seems to
sap our strength TO a great extent
Even late in the evening, long after
shutdown we perspire more profuseIy
than we did on the hottest days in
California. and this has a tendency TO
weaken all Of US
Striking Difference in Size.
The most striking thing TO US is the
small size of the men in the other
crews Our men are all over six feet
in height, with one exception. and our
average weight is 81 But in contrast
with our physical superiority is the
wonderful form and smOOthneSS which
the eastern boys show They certainly
do handle themselves beautifully.
''The eastern boys have expert rub
bers, special cooks. boat builders and
practically everything. None OF our
fellows get any such attention. Most
Of US never have had a rundown after
rowing in all our rowing career
The financial situation with Us Is
still very bad We have not enough
money TO pay our board here. and none
Z osend out boat back. nor have we any
money for defraying our expenses back
to California But II We can make
a good showing, we Will have nothing
TO regret"

GOLD PRODUCERS IN
 STATE IF NEVADA

The precious metal deposits at To- nopah, New, were discovered in 1900. when the mining industry generally in Nevada had sunk to a very low level. The discovery greatly stimulated pros- pecting and led to the revival of min- ing throughout the state. The district has produced silver and gold to .he total value of more than $6O,0OO,OOO from veins in Tertiary volcanic rocks.
 The discovery of gold at Goldfield in 1902 was a direct outcome of the development at Tonopah. The de- posits here also occur in Tertiary vol canic rocks, but in form and character they are entirely different from the veirs. The total production from GOidfield to the end of 1913 was over $65,OOO,0O0 in gold and silver. Of late years considerable copper has been recovered from the concentrates of the Goldfield mills.

open-for he's on the job, good and heavy-and now that good rock can be had in sufficient quantities, there is no longer any apprehension about the Colorado being able to break thru at any point of the 40 miles of levee, which should be glorious piece of news to Bardites as we'll as to the Yumaites.

THE PENALTY OF oVERWoRK
Many Yuma People Are Beginning to
 Feel the Strain

The heavy tax of overwork-the ex- to many trades and occupations is na1u on the kidneys The kidneys begin to fail in their work and the poisonous matter collects in the system. If your work seems hard for you, if you have a lame, weak or aching back, if you seem tired and listless, if you notice sediment in the urine, unnatural color or irregular passages and seem to be running down without apparent cause begin at once with Doan's Kidney Pills, the remedy that has proven so benefi- cial to so many residents of this vicini- ty. It has brought strength to the backs of thousands of working men and women.
 P. H. Williamson, painting contrac- tor, 121 North Fifth Street, Phoenix, Arizona, says: Many who follow my work are subject to backache and kid ney trauble. The fumes of the tur- pentine in the paint affected my kid neys and finally I had to give up my work At night, I felt tired and I had pains through my back and shoulders. Doans Kidney Pills brought me very prompt relief and soon put me in good shape.

same time. SIX pairs or eyes lntenJIy gazed on every foot of the 40 miles that we went over. At least half o1 these eyes were reviewing the rock revetment work from the scientific practical andpoint-Assistant Chic of Construction Baldwin, Project Manager Lawson and Former Acting Project Manager Priest-while Judge Holgate, MT. Tyree and myself looked on from the standpoint of the layman
 Practically all of this rock revet ment work was done under MT Priests personal supervision, and while I have had occasion to severely criticise the use of so much lime stone dust" instead of rock, yet wher one hears MT. Priests explanations of why all that rotten stuff was used, the arguments are convincing and one must confess, as I freely ad nit, that he not only male the best of bad bargain" but, in addition by his tireless energy and sleepless nights during overflow periods, he ac tually performed a miracIe-for or more than one occasion he saved all the lands on the California side from utter destruction, while Yuma valley was saved time and time again by the free use of lime stone dust" backed up by MT. Priests natural adaptabili ty for fighting the Colorado at flood tide.
 He admits that limestone dust is indeed rotten stuff with which tC fight the Colorado; but it was the best material at hand and, while half of it floated away, yet the remaining half did it's full duty, and the country was savedl
 A new rock quarry has been opened up, however, and hereafter sure enough rock will be used to check the ravages of the on-rushing waters. Therefore, I tip my hat to the super intendent of construction and cheer fully encourage him to "go to it!"
 There are four or five points along the levee where the full force of the Colorado strikes it squarely in the face, which makes it a particularly nasty job to hold it in check. A few miles the other side of Gadsden for instance, the river makes an abrupt turn a mile from the levee and then makes bee-line for the rock -revet- ment! For full mile or more from this point, the "old red-headed heifer," as the boys on the work say, hugs the rock revetment as affectionately as a young fellow hugs his girl just after she has said "Yes"
 In fact, from that particular point, all the way to the Mexican line, MT. Priest and that limestone dust have held the river within it's channel only by untiring energy and a superabun- dance of the aforesaid dust
 But the work is now well in hand; in fact, rock revetment work has ceased for the time being, for the river now has less water in it than has ever before been recorded at Yuma.
 Manager Lawson, however, who had made the original survey of and con-
Arizona sentinel Yuma southwest., 1915-08-26

even make rough StdgSer at the number of cubic yards of earth that were taken out, or the number oi cubic yards of rock and concrete that were put in it's construction!
 AS very properly contended, at the time the above astounding testimony was given, Chairman Fleming held that the only way to ascertain the facts about the material used in the dam was to go to the records, the book accounts" where every item ot cost could be carefully scrutinized' and, from which it could be ascertain ed exactly what the dam had cost.
 No human eye can penetrate that silty water with sufficient clearness to tell whether the rock goes down one foot or million feet, and, when it is considered that the surface of the dam is 257 feet wide, 47S0 feet long, 19 feet high above the bottom of the stream, with a down stream slope of 1 foot vertical to 12 feet hori- zontal, and the upstream slope 1 foot vertical to feet horlzOntal-and, in addition to all of this, a level apron composed of large stones extending 50 feet down stream from the toe of the dam-it can be seen at once how physically impossible it would be for any human mind to even guess at the cubic contents of the entire structure by merely gazing On the souppy-like waters as they rush pell-mell over it's surfare!
 I was almost awe-struck with the grandeur of the surroundings,
 Our aristocrats of the East, and those of the West, who go half insane over the "hobby' of travelling and sightseeing, never saw a grander piece of scenic beauty anywhere in the world than one sees while stand ing on the tower of Laguna dam!
 Aside from the real beauty of the Colorado as it leaps and jumps into the sunlight while crossing the dam, the Potholes mountains, the Gila val ley, the San Pascual valley, the will low trees that greet the eye all up and immense machinery used in operating the gates, the quaint old Mexican ja- calls, the long line of date trees (plant- ed by the government)-a these and a hundred other things of beauty, of grandeur, of amazement, one beholds while standing on the dam, Laguna's tower!
 And I dare say, there are some of our citizens who have been just as careless as I have been in taking the time to go to this veritable wonder land,
 Don't delay any longer!
 Go, and see that dam, Laguna!
 In addition to visiting Laguna dam, and seeing how vast an undertaking it was, and how perfectly the work seems to have been done, even though it's cost was more than double the original contract price, I also visited every foot of the levee on the Califor- lia side, and the entire stretch of p miles of levee from Yuma to the Mexican boundary linel

LAGUNA DAM!

LACUNA DAM!
 That's a name to conjure with especially in this neck O the woods!
 Notwithstanding all that has been written about this gigantic piece of work; not withstanding all that has been said both for and against those who superin, tended or who actually diC the construction, the half has not been and never will be told!
 That's my honest opinion after having viewed it in com pany with Project manager and Chief Engineer Lawson, MT. Priest, the former act ing project manager, and MT. Ernest H. Baldwin, who, as assistant chief of construc- ton of the U. s. R. S., is now personally experimenting the construction of the sec ond largest dam in America Elephant Butte-the only in- ternational dam with which U.S.R.S. has anything to do.
 Both MT. Lawson and MT. Priest were connected with the local U.- s. R. S., when Laguna dam was constructed, and while they, perhaps, had played but a small part in it's actual construction, yet they can very justly boast of the fact that they helped to build that wonderful piece of work.
 As l stood on the tower yesterday and took a birds eye view of that immense handiwork of man, 1 could but chide myself for having written so much about it be- fore 1 had viewed it or com prehended it's immenSity!
 And my thoughts immediately re- verted to the testimony adduced be- fore the defunct local board of cost review when one of the 3ardites swore that any good engineer could go up there and, after a sIpeIf f.cial examination, tell within five per cent" of the exact number of cubic yards of earth that were eXcavatcI and the amount of the stone anl con crete used in it's construction'
 Another witness said the oniy way to find out how much stone hal been used would be to measure the hole in the stone quarry! &
 After having watched the silt-laden waters pour over the dam, Laguna, the entire superstructure being hid

DYNAMITE IN SHIPS CARGO
Explosion Starts Fire in Hold Of the
Minnehaha-Boat Is Racing Back
to Halifax.

New York. July As If in answer
to Frank Hollis last warning that
ship at sea should sink, God willing,
on the 7th,'' there came last night
wireless message, made public today
from Captain CIaTet of the Atlantic
transport line steamer Minnehaha, tell
ing that his ship was afiTe at sea $40
miles southeast OF Halifax.
Further strengthening the belief
that one Of Hollis bombs caused the
fire, a second message was received at
1910 o'clock this afternoon from Cap
tain Claret. The second message fol-
lows:
Fire caused by explosion. Now IN
der control by suffocatiOn and steam
Much smoke in holds. Deemed 1t ex-
pedient to make for Halifax Due on
Chabucto Head a. m Friday. Ad-
wise agents.
The message came by way of Cape
Race.
The ship had sufficient ammunition
aboard. by the lines admission, to
sink her, should the flames reach it,
but whether the blaze in her hold was
started by a bomb which Holt had
placed there, was a matter Of pure
conjecture.

GRUESOME SIGHTS IN MEXICO
Dead Men Dangling From Trees and
Telegraph Poles Dot Landscape
in Southern Republic.

Jalapa. Mex, July S.-Bodies of men
hanging from trees and telegraph
poles, not in great numbers, but suffi-
GENTLY conspicuous to make the land
scape Iurid; thousands of hungry wo-
men and children crowded into freight
cars or huddIed beside railway sta
tions; destroyed bridges, wrecked
trains and entire villages deserted or
ruined, were observed today on jour
ney to Jalapa from Vera Cruz, sixty
miles from General Carranza's head
quarters. The trip was through what
once was one of the richest parts of
Mexico. Everywhere it now presents
scenes of idleness and ruin.
Bodies dangling from trees and tele-
graph poles, hanged first by one fac
ton and then by another as a warning
to the enemy that no quarter was to
be expected, are reported by Ameri-
cans arriving from Oaxaca and interior
points
An incident typical of others OF al
most daily occurrence was the finding
on the Jalapa Railway station plat
form of the bodies of a dozen men and
women killed recently. A trainload of
Carranza soldiers with women camp
followers had run onto a bridge from
which the rails had been removed by
Zapata forces. Several cars listed and
soldiers and women on top of the train
fell into the river below.
Jalapa, capital of Vera Cruz State,
has suffered less from starvation than
many other parts of the republic be-
cause it is the center of a fertile re-
gion, yet there has been much suffer
ing here. The normal population of
twenty thousand has been swelled to
thirty thousand by the arrival of refu-
gees from nearby villages.
