FIND LONG-BURIED NIAGARA
Canadian Engineers Unearth Site OF
Falls Once as Great a. Those
Of the Present.

A dead ana Our1eQ Niagara, ltS tuuH'
ders stilled for countless ages, once
perhaps as great in height and vol
ume Of water as the present falls, has
been unearthed by excavations made
in the course of the new Welland ship
canal near Thorold In southern
Ontario.
No memories Of this lost Niagara
linger even in aboriginal tradition.
When It existed or when it ceased to
exist has not even, been conjectured.
It may have been laundering in pri-
meval solitudes before the age Of man.
The mastodon and the pterodactyl
may have pastured upon IT'S brink.
Giant-winged lizards may have sailed
above its clouds Of rainbow vapors.
The engineers who partly uncovered
It believe it was the original Niagara
marking the course Of paleolithic
river. that connected Lake Erie and
Lake Ontario. Some mighty prehis-
toric- cataclysm, it is supposed, d.
verted the course of the stream and
buried the falls and the old river bed
level with the surrounding country.
"Canada's greatest asset today is its
land" said one Of the canal engineers.
1T is the bread basket Of the empire.
Its greatest development in the next
few years will come from the settlers
swarming in to make homes on it's
vast uncultivated areas. But If this
ancient source Of water power had re-
mained in existence and wholly on
+ Canadian soil, it might have advanced
the clock Of Canada's industrial des-
tiny a century or so. Canada then
would not have to share its wealth
producing energy with the United
States and the nation might be today
one Of the great manufacturing CEN
ters Of the world, which the develop
ment Of its other wonderful water
power resources eventually will make
it."
The edge Of the cataract so far un-
covered begins at the eastern abut-
ment Of the Niagara, st. GATHERINGS
and Toronto railways new bridge
near Thorold and extends in a south
westerly direction for 400 feet. The
ledge continues under the earth for an
unknown distance beyond the point at
which the excavation ends.
What is supposed to have been the
first fall is in the form of steps, with
a total drop of 25 feet. Below it the
excavation has revealed a precipice,
but to what depth this wall Of perpen-
dicular rock sinks into the earth has
not yet been determined. This ledge
Is believed to mark the main plunge
Of the ancient cataract.
The eastern abutment of the rail-
way bridge has been built on the edge
of the steps down which the old river
once shot in foaming cascades. The
central abutment, Is feet away, went
to a depth Of Is feet before striking.
rock. This rock sloped at sharp an
gle and evidently had been worn
smooth by the rush Of torrents through
unnumbered years.
The grave of this buried Niagara IL
half mile from the escarpment Of
the present Canadian falls. A deep.
canyonlike valley, through which the
ship canal passes where Eight-Mile
creek once meandered on. its way to
Lake Ontario, is believed to have been
the bed Of the prehistoric river which
furnished the waters Of the giant falls
their outlet to the sea.

Valuable Fish Statistics.

The French government has pub
lished some curious figures as to the
depths at which sea fish can be found
and taken. These are really startling,
for they prove that many Of the most
valuable food fishes live in far deeper
water than was ever before imagined.
Flat fish, such as soles, lie upon
the bottom at 20 fathoms- ms-that Is, 420
feet. There is a case on record Of a
sole being taken in a specially con-
structed net at the depth Of $50 feet.
Hake, gurnard and rays abound up
to a depth Of go fathoms, or 800 feet.
Sole, turbot and brill are all found at
greater depths than this, the latter
two varieties having been taken at $50
feet. It IL noticeable. however, that
small fish are not found at great
depth; it is only full-grown specimens
that seem able to Withstand such tre-
mendous pressure Of water.

SANTA FEE N. Nj, Dec. 15-With habeas corpus proceedings to secure the freedom of the sixteen Villistas par doned by Gov. o. A. Larrazolo, coming up for hearing before the supreme court tomorrow, R A. Lane, deputy sheiff of Luna county arrived in Santa Fe today and arrested the entire group on indictments growing out of the raid on Columbus, N M, March 9, 1916.
 The arrest of the prisoners threw the attorneys for the Villistas into hole. They cannot contend that the Villistas were prisoners in the penitentiary and not subject to arrest since it is their contention that the Villistas were legal ly pardoned and are being wrongfully detained at the penitentiary according to attorneys. Should the hearing to- morrow show that the governor had full authority to pardon and that the Villist4s were at one time entitled to their liberty, the prisoners will sill be held at tho penitentiary at the re- quest of the sheriff of Luna county.
 At the time of Villas raid on Colum- bus there were many deaths but the captured bandits were tried only for one. It Is understood that other deaths are specified In the indictments under which the arrests were made.
 The Villistas were captured in Mex leo by Gen. John J. Pershing's expe- dition, convicted of murder in Luna county and sentenced to long prison terms. Court proceedings. based on the ground that the governors pardon would have prevented thei release.

WASHINGTON. Dec. Is. - Notice was given the American government today by Newcomb H.

He was one of four witnesses examined at the open ing of an inquiry into the whole sub ject of cable communication and from whose testimony the committee devel- oped among other things that the All American Cables, Inc, an Ameri- can concern, is engaged with the SUD- port of the state department, in a fight against the Western Telegraph com pany of Great Britain, and the West eTn Union. in an effort to break the cable monopoly enjoyed by the British company in Brazil.
 There also was testimony that the All America company enjoys cable monopolies in several Central and South American countries; that the in- ternatiOnal communications conference here has reached a tentative agreement that no censorship shall be imposed upon cable messages merely passing through relay points; that there IS. nc cable combination between the Unitee States and Germany except over Brit ish controlled lines; that some foreigI governments are substituting news agencies disseminating reports in othel countries and that the Western unior plans further independent connections i through American cable lines to Italy

Work Soon Will Be Started
 On Florence Diversion Dam

branch as far west as the Casa Grande ruins will be used by the farmers of the Florence unit whUse lands will be watered by the project.
 The Indian reservation now has pumping facilities at Sacaton for wa tering approximately 10000 acres. This pumped water will mingle with the water diverted from the Gila and a total of 10000 acres of Indian lands is expected to be watered thereby.
 In addition to the 27,000 acres al- lotted to the white lands under the project, there is a large acreage now under cultivation in both the Florence and Casa Grande units being watered by pumps exclusively. Much of this is expected to profit py flood waters in time of plenty, so that the project in full operation will directly affect the cultivation of a total of both Indian and white lands of perhaps 100000 acres.
 The initial appropriation by congress for the construction of this project was made several years ago. Efforts were made by government representa- tives to formulate contract under which the project could be built and certain white lands Included as pro- NlQ0d Tn the appropriation. Sucn g contract was drawn up and tentatively accepted by some of the representatives of the white interests in a meeting 1T Phoenix about four years ago. Ger tain phases of this contract later or met with opposition from some of tht interests involved and finally resulted in Q deadlock in negotiations.
 The war having come on in the mean time the state council of defense tool the matter up and endeavored to set tie the differences between the warning | factions. The effort failed, however and yet it pointed the way which finalll ] led to a solution of the difficulty. ! At length an organization of all tn i landowners of the valley was propose' and effected This organization wa comprised of two units, one at Flor ence and one at Casa Grande. Eael unit selected three members of a com mittee of six, with full power to act and this committee, after few months
 work, succeeded in uniting all interest ] in one contract and got all difference settled
 Following a ratification of the con
 tract, the secretary of the interior de clared the project feasible, signed u i the landowners, recorded the contracts and now, through the Indian serVict ! announces his intention of beginnin construction Of the project All of tn .slnds have been designated by the secre
 tary and everything is ready to g ahead
