COW CREEK WATER
SCARCE AS BOOZE

Cow Camp. in the Silver Peak
range, holds the record for high
priced water. the average supply of
40 gallons week retailing at 30
cents a gallon. There is no compe-
ton and the water man has a monop-
oily which no one enyies or is likely
to begin cutting rates The supply Is
brought from a well eleven miles dis
tant The water is hauled in a buck
board for five miles, the horses un-
hitched and the cans packed on them
for the remainder of the distance, six
miles. The greater part of one day
is occupied in going to and returning
from the spring, so the price is re-
garded reasonable. In the very early
days of Greenwater it Is said that
water sold for 81 a gallon, but that
is disputed, and it is known that not
more than eight cents a gallon was
paid for water hauled in from Fur
mace Creek, distance of 80 miles
Later, when the pipe line to Ash
Meadows was laid. the distance was
only twenty miles, with an easier
haul and the price declined to cents
a gallon Rawhide had enough sa-
looms to keep down the thirst of the
Inhabitants, and therefore water
never sold higher than cents gal
Ion for small consumers who took
only five gallons at a time The
wholesale rate was 81 barrel. Tono-
pah never ranged as a high-priced
camp in the matter of water. as the
eastern breweries saw that bottled
goods were kept moving up to the
filming line from Sodaville, and 81
barrel was considered a pretty stiff

RAD|UM FOUND ON
NEvADA'S BORDER

Radium has been discovered in
Twin Falls county, Idaho, according
to the Twin Falls Daily Times. 1t Is
reported that the strike has been
found close to the Nevada border.
which of course is the Elko county
border.
The Times says that prospects of
Twin Falls county coming to the front
as producer of that rarest OF
"crops," radium, are indicated by dis
covery and preparations for develop
ment of radium fields in the far
southwestern corner of the county, at
the head of Cedar Creek The fields
are said to be rich in both radium and
aluminium.
Operations of the Cedar Creek Con-
solidated Mining Company, an organ
iZation of Bull men with holdings in
that district, will be pushed steadily.
according to A. A. Diefel of Bull,
president of the company, which owns
seven claims in the field, situated 90
miles west of Robertson. Diegel has
just returned from the field.
Ore taken from the mines has al
ready been assayed as carrying | Is
per cent radium. according to the re-
port received by the company from
the Radium Company of Colorado, to
which samples were sent. OF almost
equal interest with the radium report
is the assayer's statement that the
ore also runs 25 per cent aluminium.
This points to large scale produc
ton of aluminium in the county. as
we'll as radoum.
Results of the assay are arousing
intense interest throughout the coun-
ty. with speculations on the POSSIBLE
ity of rush to the southwest sec
ton.
In the light of Developments along
Cedar Creek there are strong posi-
bilities that mining may henceforth
share with agriculture honors as the
principal resources of Twin Falls
county. If radium production should
live up TO the indications so far un-
covered, the banner farming county
of Idaho will be disputing leadership
also with the banner mining counties.
Officers of the consolidated Min
ing Company, besides Diegel, are r.
F. Browne. vice president. and F. A.
Eveleth, secretary-treasurer. Both
are Bull business men.
Discovery of the radium deposit oe-
Cured by accident during storm in
1919, when Diegel. driving a band of
sheep, sought shelter for them in an
extinct crater.
In a badger hole in one side of the
crater he observed curious sub
stance which he recognized as differ
ent from common soil. The same
substance, he noticed was shot
through the walls of the crater to
height of about ten feet.
When he departed, Diegel took
quantity of the odd dirt" with him
and later sent it to an assayer, whose
report made him open his eyes In
amazement
The result was the formation of his
mining company and the filing on
seven claims in the uDorganfzed dis
trict. which lies close to the Nevada
border.

Why the French Failed.

The French made tragic failure at
building Panama canal became the
great loss Of life on the Isthmus from
the ravages Of malaria and yellow
fever made it impossible to keep the
necessary man power to accomplish
the task.
When the United States undertook
to accomplish the big job and finish
the uncompleted work, the first eff
forts were spent in making II safe
from these diseases.
The canal is complete and the loss
Of life occurring during its building
i neglible as compared to that suf-
fered by the French.
All this was accomplished by the
application Of sanitary measures.
First, by inspiring wholesome water
supplies. Second, by screening all liv-
mig quarters 10 prevent the entrance
Of mosquitoes which carried malaria
and yellow .ever. Third, by oiling or
draining all water pools which nigh.
offer a breeding place for those mos
quitoes. Fourth, by keeping cut away
all unnecessary vegetation which
might harboc mosquitoes.
SO effective has been the work that
today a mosquito or fly in the canal
zone is slmNst a curiosity. The heath
is better and the death rate lower
than in many parts OF the United
States.
Scores Of towns in the Southwest,
in Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma aad
Texas can take leaf from the Pans-
ma Canal experience. Malaria Is the
scourge Of many communities, yet liz.
tie is being done to check the malady.
