or even perish. Today the prospector travels by automobile and distance is of much less importance. If he does trip of few hours will usually bring him to another.
 Travel in the desert with an auto mobile, however, does not necessarily mean travel without danger. Many persons traverse the desert who are mot familiar with the conditions to be encountered. On the transcontinent- al automobile routes across the desert the traveller is safe; but though 1t is much easier to get long distances from known watering places with an automobile than with a team, slight mishap. at a remote point may prove serious. A leaky radiator and a dry canteen or cracked spark plug may mean a tramp of many miles and suff- ering from thirst, or even worse. The need of mapping the desert roads and marking the watering plac- es has long been appreciated. Parts of the Mohave Desert region have been mapped by the United State Geo logical Survey, department of the in- terior, and signposts have been erect ed by the counties, automobile asso- citations and other agencies, but defn- ite and precise information in regard to watering places has not been avail able for most of the region. In 1917- IS, under an appropriation from con gress, the United States Geological Survey, in cooperation with the de- partment of engineering of the state of California, surveyed the Mohave Desert region, and recently the Geo logical Survey has issued water sup ply paper 490-B, entitled Routes to Desert Watering Places in the Mo have Desert Region, California" by David G. Thompson. The region GOV cred by this guide book extends from the Sierra Nevada eastward to Colo rado River and from the thirty-fourth to the thirty-sixth parallel. The guide thus covers the south end of Death Valley.
 Valuable features of the guide are relief maps, which show the roads and watering places, and logs of the diff erent routes. In addition, the report contains brief sketch of the geog- raphy, geology, and physiography of the region, suggestions to desert tray elers, and short descriptions of many of the watering places, including statements in regard to the quality of the water. Chemical analyses show that the water from many of the springs and wells, contrary to the us ual notion, is not heavily impregnated with alkali. In fact, the water in sev- eral places was found to be as good as the water used for public supplies in some cities in the less arid states if not better.

A PEEvISH PRINTER.

Charley Harris, of Fort Worth, in the printing business, got slightly peeved at letter from a doctor who wanted bids on several thousand let terheads, different sizes, different grades of paper and different colors and wanted the printing form held standing, so Charley took his type writer in hand and wrote:
 Am in the market for bids on one operation for appendicitis, one, two or five-inch incision-with or without ether, also with or without nurse. If appendix is found to be sound, want quotations to include putting same back and canceling order. If remov- ed successful bidder is expected to hold incision open for about sixty days as expect to be in the market for an operation for gallstones at that time and want to save the extra cost of cutting"

JUSTICE MOVES
 SWIFTLY IN MOhAVE

Justice moved swiftly in the case of Theodore West, who shot and kill cd his travelling companion, Lem Smith, on the highway between Oat- man and Topock, on the 23rd day of last July. Four days after the com mission of the crime he was taken into custody in Los Angeles on the information of the local sheriff's of flee, brought back to Mohave county to stand trial for the crime, held for trial and tried and convicted and sentenced to death, all within 30 days.
 Last Friday afternoon the state played it's trump card in the intro duction of impeachment testimony. This was in the form of court and prison records, showing that West had been convicted of several crimes, while he admitted but one. It appeared from the testimony of Dr. Smith, physician of the Ukiah, California, asylum for the insane, that West had been convicted of murder and that while awaiting the hearing of an ap- peal for new trial had been com mitted to the asylum for observa- tion and that later he had been sent back to the prison, but that the ap- pellate court had granted the petition for new trial and when it came up for hearing the witnesses had scat tered and no effort had been made to bring the man to justice, the court entering a dismissal of the case; that the crime was a most brutal one and his companion in crime had been con victed and given life sentence. Only conditions caused him to go free, as he was admittedly entitled to punish ment. He was also convicted of forg- cry and sent to the pen from San Diego county; paid his penalty for hog and mule stealing in Texas; was a deserter from the army and had many other offenses chalked up against him that could not be intro duced in evidence in the case. Although this testimony was strenuously object ed to by defense counsel it was ad- mitted by the court. West had paved the way for it by glibly telling his story on the stand and even admitting that he had spent some time in the Texas penitentiary, evidently believing that this admission, with his apparent

GUIDE BOOK TO MAKE
 DESERT SAFE ISSUED

The largest county in the United States is San Bernardino county, Calif., which contains more than 20,- 900 square miles. All of this county except few hundred square miles is arid land, forming the greater part of the Mohave Desert, which includes also adjoining parts of Los Angeles, Kern and Inyo counties.
 Most persons who are unacquainted with the desert believe it to be bar ren waste, incapable of supporting life and without value--a barrier that separates fertile lands on either side of it. But to those who hav6 become acquainted with it the desert is one of the most interesting regions of our country Animals and plants are found there in considerable variety. The soil is generally good, and where water is available for irrigation it has produced crops in abundance. Several thousand acres in the Mohave Desert region are already yielding good re turns, and doubtless much more land can be cultivated. The most valuable products of the region, however, have been obtained from its mineral depos- its. The value of the mineral products shipped from this region during the last 20 years is about $50,000, ,000. In 1918 alone the value of the two prin- cipal mineral products (potash and tungsten) obtained from the desert portion of San Bernardino county was about $5,000,000.
 Throughout most of this desert re- zion places where water may be ob- tained are few and far between. In days gone by the desert prospector used burros or horses and wagons and he was compelled to carry with him on his trip water for both man and beast. If watering place was not found as he expected, or if the wells or spring was dry, he and his animals might suffer great hardship

TOM MIX LAYS IN 40 YEARS
 SUPPLY OF OVERCOATS

From Mix and the Forty Over coats," is the title of new scenario brought back to Prescott from Chica- go by Franics F. Viele, who recently returned from a business trip to the east. MT. Viele conceived the idea for new Tom Mix production when he met the famous film hero on the streets of the Windy City during his brief stay in that locality. Come up to my place and have look at my overcoats," urged Tom when he glimpsed tht president of the Arizona Power company standing in front of a skyscraper on Van Buren street. MT. Viele, who is as glad to see former Prescott folks as they are to see him, accordingly followed the cowboy actor to his suptuous hotel apartments where, marvellous to behold, was the newly augmented wardrobe of the Fox film favorite. Throwing open the slid ing panels of mahogany compart- mert Tom revealed to the startled gaze of his Prescott friend no less than forty (40) overcoats, top coats ulsters and great coats. Mot one of them cost less than $100," announced Mix modestly. Think I'll go down to Marshall Fields and pick out g green one today" On his way home from Chicago the head of Prescott's public service corporation indulged ir a little arithmetic. "Forty times $l00," he unused. Forty overcoats-- $4,000. And then they say the price of Prescott gas is too high.

ly frank avowal would go far to con- vince the jury that he was really tell ing the truth. Even his attorneys were taken by surprise when the state presented it's mass of damaging testi- mony.
 The jury deliberated only few hours, bringing in its verdict about 11:30 o'clock, the court remaining un- til that late hour to receive it and set the time for sentencing the prisoner. --Kingman Miner.

SAYS YOU CAN'T SMOKE
 CIGARETS AND TELL TRUTH

Newspaper humorists are finding much copy in speech of James A. Walton, state superintendent of the Anti-cigar league of California where in he is quoted as declaring truth is not possible for cigaret smokers.
 The newspapers ascribe the follow ing to Walton:
 Any man who smokes cigarets is incapable of telling the truth, no mat ter how much he may desire to tell the truth"
 One newspaper humorist lists many of the most prominent men of San Francisco and California as being cigaret smokers.
 The speech was made before the narcotic conference of the W. C. T. U. convention here.

TWO CLOUDBURSTS STRIKE
 IN HOUR AT MIAMI

Two cloudbursts within an hour of each other visited Inspiration and did considerable damage to the property of the Inspiration Consolidated Cop per company.
 The first cloudburst came about 12:30 o'clock and the second one about 1:30 o'clock. The company has kept records since it commenced op- erations in 1912, and from that time there had never been such a severe downpour. The rain had come down continuously from noon till II o. clock the following morning.

Dr. Vinson was the first expert witness in troduced by the plaintiff in the so- called "smoke damage" case.
