Grady, Feb. 1.-The first known loss of lie in the lower Arkansas river flood occurred yesterday.
 I. L. Purtius, former county clerk .of Lincoln county, drowned near Du- mas, when the swift current in a drainage ditch overturned a rowboat m which he was endeavoring to reach his farm, two miles from town. The body of Alph Mays, negro, was found
 m barn on the C. E. Wood farm, two miles northeast of Grady, in the Cypress creek bottoms. It is feared others who failed to heed flood warn ings sent the lowlands may be lost, It is believed that Will Haynes, negro, was drowned in the overflow on the Dave Fergus farm, noth of Pine Bluff, Tuesday night. Members Iot his family who were taken from a cabin, said he started for the levee
 Tuesday night to get aid. One hun dred yards from the house he was caught by a current and lodged in a tree. He could not be found by res ICueiS W euneSuaS.
 With no relief in sight, 200 resi- dents of Gould and refugees II miles south of here are facing a critical situation today. Fifty residents of the town were taken to Star City on Ia relief train. It was learned that although wrecking crew of the Iron Mountain succeeded in launching the 30-foot launch "Elsah," brought here last night from Pine Bluff on a special relief train, the engine was damaged by frozen cooling system ana the boat was useless. The in formation came from men sent by T. A. Sheas, superintendent of the Val ley division, to the scene of the launching.
 Attempts are being made to send relief from Dumas, but only small boats are available. The water rose five inches at Gould yesterday.
 At Warner the situation is only slightly better One store there is out of water and in it are housed most of the residents. Capt. K. R. Rice's residence and store are flood ed and his family have moved from the place
 More than 50 mules and other live stock are standing on small ridge near Warner, partly covered with water, where they have been for two days without food.
 All buildings on the state farm are reported swept away, A ferryman below Cummins reported that he saw the main stockade at Cummins float ing down the river and had seen other buildings from the state farm drifting by since then.
 No estimate of the loss from the flood can be made. It is feared sev- eral more lives may be lost. c. C.. Price, engineer for the Linwood and Auburn levee district, and Captain Rice sent messengers through the lowlands, warning the people that the levees were likely to break. Only a few needed the warning

PLENTY OF ARTESIAN WATER
IN NEVADA VALLEYS

In the October American Magazine
there Is an article about Nevada, ir
which the writer says:
There is a vast supply of artesian
water in all of Nevada's valleys. Most
of the rivers are peculiar in that they
rise and sink within it's borders. In
other words. the water never leaves
the state. 1t Is still there for the TAX
ing.
When / was a boy, a man with a
divining rod appeared in Eagle Valley
and offered to locate artesian water
at ten dollars a well. He picked up
quite a bunch of money. The wells he
located are running yet. A blind man
could hit one.
The easiest thing they do in Me-
vada is to locate artesian water, with
a pressure that lifts the supply above
the surface. The soil of the state is
rich In those necessary chemical ele.
ments that guarantee mastodon crops.
"At the present time the total num-
Der OF acres under cultivation is
about 900. 900.
Viewed from an angle, Nevada is
n of the few states in the Union
whose have not been de-
veloped. She is a state of boundless
possibilities. A Goldheld rush or q
Tonopah excitement is of no signif-
canoe compared with the greater and
mora lasting achievements possible

who discovered what may possibly
be the greatest copper mine in the
world, the United Verde Extension.
"And this reminds me of one great
topic which is coming before the con-
vention of the American Mining Con-
gress and which no man interested
in mining can afford to miss-that is
the topic of '~fiotation. To the lay
mind that means but little. To the
mining mar it spells revolution in
the matter of mining production.
Think of it, By the 'lotation' process
they are mining proftably copper ore
running 8 per cent. This process,
which is simply the use of oil bub-
blies to float crushed ore, has put a
value of millions into vast tailings
