THE PETRIFIED FOREST OF
 ARIZONA

The "Petrified Forest" of Arizona, really series of petrified forests, lies a short distance south of Adamana, along the line of the Santa Fe Rail- way. A presidential proclamation in 1906 created government reservation of four of these forests. The name forest is not strictly appropriate, for the petrified tree trunks are all pros trate and are broken into sections. The logs are the remains of giant trees that grew in Triassic time, the age of reptiles, according to the United States geological survey. These trees we're of several kinds, but most of them were related to the Norfolk Is- land pine. They grew in nearby region and, after falling, drifted down a watercourse and lodged in some ed dy or sand bank. Later they were buried in sand and clay to depth of several thousand feet. They were gradually converted into stone by the replacement of the woody material by silica in the form of chalcedony, de- posted by underground water. A small amount of oxides, deposited at the same time, has given the brilliant and beautiful brown, yellow, and red tints which appear in much of the ma terial. The sand and clay, in which these trees were buried, was afterward washed away. Some of the tree trunks are six feet in diameter and more than one hundred feet in length. In the first forest there is fine trunk that forms a natural bridge over a small ravine, the water having first washed away the overlaying sand and clay and then, following a crevice, worked out the channel underneath.
 The petrified woods are beautiful objects of study. When thin slices are carefully ground down and placed un- der a microscope they show perfectly the original wood structure, all the cells being distinct, though now re- placed by chalcedony.

WHERE MONEY ISN'T WANTED

Though money talks" almost everywhere, it scarcely makes a whis- per in northern Alaska, according to Meyer Krupp, manager of a corpora tion which for twenty years has con- ducted extensive dealings in furs with the Eskimos of the Far North.
 The natives of this region are still primitive people, declares MT. Krupp, who recently returned from one of his annual trips to Alaska. As in the old days, they still care less for money than for food, clothing, or naments, and luxuries. Occasionally they will condescend to accept an American gold certificate, but they prefer a more old-fashioned form of barter. The following are among the articles which are paid for the best furs:
 Small, hornless photographs, as- sorted mixed candy, 30-30 rifles and cartridges, heavy wollen socks, maple sirup, hunting knives, cube sugar, duck tents, linen and cotton thread, safety razors, scissors, white enameled plates, cups and saucers, heavy wool len underwear, smoking and chewing tobacco, candles, nails, leather boots, glass beads in all colors, animal traps, metal lamps, pocket knives, ginger snaps and cookies, dried pears, peach es, and apples, and tea pressed in brick form.
 "These natives are like big child ren," says MT. Krupp. "They get along very we'll without police, sher- ifs, jails, fire departments, houses of. correction, and jitney busses. Their knowledge is limited, and their wants are few. They live an easy-going life and are rarely if ever in hurry. They make hardly any provision for the fu- ture or rainy day. Curiously, they always wish to know what the people in other parts of the world are doing. Last and best of all, they are always contented."

STARTLING LAW STILL IN
 EFFECT

Many people will be surprised to learn that there is U. S. law which makes stealing an offense punishable by death! In section nineteen of the coinage act of 1792, the act establish ing the national mint, the following passage relative to penalties occurs {: "* if any of the said officers or persons shall embezzle any of the metals which shall at any time be committed to their charge for the pur- pose of being coined, or any of the coins which shall be struck or coined at said mint, every such officer or person who shall commit any or either of the said offenses shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and shall suffer death." So far as is known, the pen alty has never been applied, but it is still in force.-Carson News.

ANTS ATTACK CHILD

Mayors man-eating ants have never been described in any history of Ari- zona or exhibited in any travelling menagerie, but they are still at large and flourishing. The other day little Billie Moe, infant son of MT. and Mrs. Walter Moe, who is just learning to walk, wandered away from his home in search of adventure. He found it. Not knowing about the man-eating ants of his home town, little Billie sat down to rest near an ant hill. When his mother, attracted by his screams, ran to the spot, she found him cov- cred with large red insects who were calmly going about the business of devouring him. The youngster was taken to Dr. J. B. Van Horn for treat ment after the ants had been brushed off him and now is said to be fully recovered from his startling experien- ce.-Courier.

REDUCE TAX VALUATION

Under an order issued by the state tax commission the board of super visors will reduce the tax valuation of Cochise county $S2,5O0, which will leave the net valuation of the county $156, 6,293,271. The former valuation fixed by the board was $156,375,771.
 The total reduction made in assess ments of the county by the state tax commission was $654,19S, but this amount was changed by the fact that the state commission ordered the as- sessment placed on the Copper Queen shelter at Douglas raised $571, ,69S.- International.

A "SAND-BOW"

The unusual optical phenomena of a rainbow produced by the sun shin ing not on rain-drops, but on particles of sand suspended in the air by wind, was witnessed over part of the Great Salt Lake by some surveying parties.
 The colors were very brilliant, and there was secondary bow visible. The main bow was fully double the width of an ordinary rainbow. Only a segment of it was seen. The sand was colitic, consisting of calcareous spherules of fairly uniform size, rang ing between the limits of No. 8 and No. 10 shot, which are polished and exhibit pearly luster. It is pointed out that the production of the bow must have been due to reflection from the outer surfaces of the spherules, and cannot be explained on the rule of refraction and total reflection, gener- ally applied in the explanation of the rainbow.

" REST BUNGALOW FOR
 MOTORISTS

Eugene, Oregon, recently installed an attractive bungalow for campers in the municipal camping park. Tour ,ists who have already used the bung- allow say it is model of convenience and very attractive. It was erected at a cost of two thousand dollars. Roses and vines have been planted in the open spaces leading to the bung- allow and through the park. But the wooded sections of the park have been left untouched.

 a Pest?
Write the Miner Your Version
 of the Subject.

Do roadrunners kill rattle snakes? We have all heard many times that the bird known as the roadrunner was protected by law on account of his snake killing proclivities. Is this really so or is it a myth?
 We are told that the road runner is a clever bird that hunts out the hole of a rattle snake and then proceeds to sur round said hole with a circle of cactus burrs to make the going for MT. Snake tough when he emerges from his hole. While he is crossing the burrs the road runner pecks him to death. This is the story but we find many men who have lived their lives in the open that have never seen such an occurrence.
 We do know that the road runner is a murderer of baby quail. This seems to be proven beyond a doubt.
 Is the law prohibiting the killing of the roadrunner found- ed on a myth or on fact? Will subscribers of the Miner who really know write us something on this subject. If you have seen a road runner kill a snake write us and tell us how he did it, if you will. If you believe they are not snake-killers tell us why you believe they tre not.
 The Miner will be glad to publish communications on the subject, as there seems to be a question in the minds of people. Is the road--Box
