"Oh, and may come with your"
asked Beckie.
"Of course her brother answered,
remembering how his sister had got
Sammie Littetail and Johnnie Bushy-
tail out OF theiboy s.box, by scratching
a hole in IT.
The next day the bear boy made his
iceboat for sailing in winter. Beckie
helped him fasten the clothes pole up
old table-clothNt K mast for sail
Now said Neddie, as they took the
sled-iceboat down to the frozen duck
pond, well have fine sail, Beckie! y
Gould take one of my dollies
along?" the little bear girl wanted to
know. Just one. please, Neddie?"
"Oh, yes, guess So" he answered.
So Beckie took her hollow rubber
doll, Helena Montana Districtofcolum-
bia, went on board the sled-iceboat,
which stood on the edge of the duck
pond They waited and waited and
waited, but still they didn't sail across
the ice. as they thought they would.
when are we going to start, Ned
die?" asked lBeckie. TT is quite cold
out here. When do we sail?'
81 don't know" answered Neddie.
don't sail"
Funny! Not at all funny" ex-
claimed voice behind them, and turn
ing around, Neddie and Beckie saw
jolly old sea-dog wagging his tail. mo
wonder you can't SAIL" exclaimed the
jolly sea dog. There is no wind. You
can't sail even an iceboat without
wind" and then he sung this song:
Sailing sailing, over the snow and ice
If you'd give me lollypop I'd think 1T
very nice.
Sailing, sailing! Over the ice and snow
You'll never SAIL but always fail,
Unless the winds do blow!"
"Ha But how can we make the
winds blow" asked Neddie.
Whistle for a breeze!' cried the
jolly sailor dog. That's what we al
ways do on board ship when there is
no wind. We whistle for breeze.
But l never can whistle in the winter
time" the sailor dog said. Its too
cold!"
And can't whistle, for I'm girl"
said Beckie.
And can't whistle, as my lips are
cracked from the frosty weather,
said Neddie, land can't quicker them.
Oh, dear! l guess my ice boat SLED
won't sail, after ALL
"Oh, yes it will" suddenly cried
Beckie. Look, will pinch my rubber
doll Helena Montana Districtofcolum-
bia. Then she will whistle through the
tin in her back, and we will have
breeze"
Fine! Please do it," said Neddie.
So Beckie made the rubber doll
whistle through the tin hole in her
back, and all at once up sprang fine
breeze. 1t soon filled out the table,
cloth sail, and away went the sled
boat blown over the duck pond, as fast
as roller skate riding down hill.
Murray" cried the old sea dog.
Then Neddie and Beckie sailed all
over the pond, back and forth and
sideways, and gave the kind dog ride
also. They had lots of fun, and so did
all their friends.
So this shows you 1t is possible to
go sailing in winter, if you have rub
Der doll with whistle in her back,
and tomorrow night I'll tell you about
Neddie and the hot water bag. And
do hope all the raisins don't jump out

After the
 Lost Frenchman
Prescott Men Get the Bug and Have Gone to Get
 the Abandoned Dust

A Prescott dispatch says:-For the fifth time in ten years Timothy Ward is with party of miners which is seek ing the treasures of "Lost French man" gold cache on the desert, letter being received few days ago stating that he and three others are securing the desert region northwest of Ehren- berg. Geo. Wheeler is also with the party.
 This expedition was organized under the representations made by Ward, who claimed to have been in close con fidence of an Indian squaw several years who lived at old Cullen's We'll, and for favors extended her she out lined vaguely the location to be ex- plored.
 "There is no twin peak stunt in this search" writes Ward. He also stated that he believes in the sincerity of pur- pose of the old woman, but that his former hunts have been misdirected through misconception of the par ticular land marks of the wild country.
 This movement is due, like many others, to legend of the desert, ap- parently well founded, wherein party of highwaymen were said to have rob- bed certain miners who were leaving Rich Hill in the early eos and made away with large amount of gold dust. All were ambushed by Indians and but one escaped, he a Frenchman. The latter is supposed to have perished on the desert later and to have cached his riches. This belief has been the lure to take scores of prospectors to the deesrt in years past, and is not identi- fled with the Nigger Ben, the Pegleg, the Adams diggings or like phantoms but is an exclusive Arizona Fl Dorado.
 Ward also writes that later in the year he and friends will go to Peoples canyon, near the Santa Maria if they are unsuccessful. A H. Peoples after whom this strip was named resided in Peoples valley and after exploring that region for many years gave up the search, going to Phoenix where he passed away, confident to the last breath that the "Lost Frenchman" was hidden in that rugged defile. Peoples also had tip given him by an Indian squaw.

Magnesia in Sea Shells.

Chemical analysis of starfshes, sea urchins, and crinoids, collected from all parts of the world, show that the skeletons of these animals contain much magnesia. The amount present is found by the United States Geological Survey to vary with the temperature of the water in which the creatures lived. The percentage of magnesia is highest in those specimens that lived in tropical waters and lowest in forms from the icy seas of Greenland and the Antarctic, with regular gradation between which even shows the local effect of cold ocean currents upon life at the sea bottom.
 The investigations suggest that the skeletons of these animals have the composition of magnetism limestone, or dolomite, and it is possible that they furnish clues not only as to the climatic conditions under which such limestones are now formed, but also as to the tenn peratures of the oceans in different re- gions of the earth where, during different periods of geologic history, great deposits of magnetism limestone were formed. Examinations of these marine invertebrates will, it is hoped, yield definite information as to the processes of dolomite formation.

Monica Development Progressing.

Under option from Richard G. Park, of Philadelphia, the owner, the Monica mines are being developed with a small force by J. A. Park, one of syndicate who are about to form a corporation for the taking over of the mines. At present the old workinge are being re- paired and extended. A very large ton mage is available in the mines, and there is an excellent ten-stamp mill upon the ground. Several years ago, work was discontinued, owing to dis sensions among the stockholders. The new corporation will go ahead with a clear field, the title to the property being undisputed, and it is probable that in the near future the property will be worked upon large scale.

Paradise Valley.
SquaW.

Secretary Lane, of the Interior De- partment, recently ordered, at the re- quest of Vice President Marshall, an investigation by the United States Geo. logical Survey of the ground waters of Paradise Valley, Ariz., with view to ascertaining their availability for ir- rigation. This valley, which lies north of Phoenix, contains about 125,OOO acres of land and much good soil but no visible water supply. It has recently been occupied by settlers who have ap- pealed to the Government for aid in de- veloping water. Geologist O. E. Mein- ger and A. J. Ellis were detailed to in- vestigate the area and their report will be published in the near future for free distribution. According to the conclu- sions reached in the investigation, which have been announced in advance by the Director of the Survey, the key to the ground-water problem lies in the geologic history of Cave Creek,
 which, it is believed, formerly flowed down this valley, and deposited water bearing gravels, but later built up its bed to the level of gap in the Phoenix Mountains. At present the flood waters of the creek are discharged in part through this gap and in part through the underground gravel beds of Paradise Valley. An investigation shows that there is no evidence of ar tesian structure either in the valley fill or in the surrounding bed rocks, but that there is small supply of water of good quality which, over an area of nearly 10, 900 acres, including the Indian reservation, will rise to within 100 feet of the surface, and, with electric power at 8 low price, can probably be economi- cally pumped for irrigation of the more valuable crops. The Geological Survey is prepared to furnish directions for sinking and testing experimental wells.

 A tank has been installed back of the mill to be used as an emergency supply of water for the West Side mine so that in case the Hauchuca company line is washed out again before permanent re- pairs are made on the line, the West Side hoist can be kept going.
 Work at the Telephone mine is pro- gressing satisfactorily, and at the Tranquility shipments are going for. ward regularly. A number of mer have been put to work on the North West doing some prospect work. The sidings have all been put in shape tc carry the heavy engines of the E. P. & s. w.
 During the week two pumps were shipped from here to Globe for use ir the Old Dominion mine.
 It is said that an aerial tramway will connect the Telephone, Rattlesnake and the Lucky Cuss mines with the mill in the near future. Fire protec. tion is being installed on all properties, and a telephone exchange now connects all the different shafts. Tombstone Prospector.

Valuable in Power
 and Irrigation Projects.

This information is necessary for the proper and economical installation and operation of water-power plants, irriga- tion projects, systems of municipal water supply, works for the prevention of the enormous damage caused year after year by devastating floods in fact, all works that involve the use or control of water. In all the important and perplexing problems relating to water rights, including questions that often lead to extended controversy and expensive litigation, knowledge of the quantities of water involved is es- sential. The work of obtaining this fundamental information after the need for it has become immediate leads to further and more costly delay. It is for the purpose of supplying this in- formation and having it available when needed that the study of the flow of streams is carried on year by year by the Geological Survey and reports of the results obtained by the Survey en- gineers are distributed to the public.
 The Surveys work of stream meas urement in the Colorado River basin is conducted in cooperation with other national bureaus, including the Forest Service, Reclamation Service, and Weather Bureau, and with State organizations of Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah, and is assisted by many pri- vate persons.

The Colorado River Basin.

All people interested in the water flowing in the streams of the great Colorado River basin should become familiar with the reports on the sub- ject published by the United States Geological Survey. Such reports, covering the entire country, appear each year in twelve parts as water SUD- ply papers. Part 9 of this series is de- voted exclusively to the Colorado river basin, the report on which for 1911 is contained in Water-supply Paper 309 This report is no longer available at the Geological Survey, but may be obtained for 30 cents from the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. c.
 The information in this paper includes the results of measurements of flow, made by the use of instruments design ed especially for that purpose, at about 40 regular river observation stations in the States of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona, and at about 60 miscellaneous points in those States. The reports contains tables showing the height of the water in the river and the quantity of water flowing past the stations each day in the year and other tables showing the quantities of water for each month and the total for the year.
