Indicate that only I per cent. Of

full crop will be produced. Even
at this carly date it may he said
that commercially the crop is a
failure except in few localities.
Peaches, other stone fruits and
pears are almost a total loss all
over the state, and only in we'll
protected spots are there any
prospects for fruit Grapes.

FEDERAL MINES DEPARTMENT

Senator Nicholson, of Colorado, has introduced in the senate bill for the creation of a department of mines and to make that department part of the advisory cabinet of the president. For years department of mines has been sought for by the mining interests of the country, that their interests might be more closely guarded by the Ma tion, but so far without success. We have departments of labor, interior, agriculture, and bureaus galore, but the most important of all resources of the United States is allowed to shift for itself and to fight it's way against every obstacle that can be thrown against it by the big interests. With out mining the United States would be an unimportant country, it being well known that without the freight offerings of the mining industry there would be few railroads in the country and no development of the west.

 potential dam in Black Canyon, about 25 or 30 miles below that would be of the same importance in the develop ment of power as the impounding dam, the fall of the river being suf- ficiently great to make clearance be- tween the two sites. By the construc- tion of the second dam the power de- developed would be practically double.
 This week handsomely colored phot- ographs of the Boulder Canyon dam- site were forwarded to the president by c. D. Wagner and Anson H. Smith with data covering this important pro- ject that the chief executive of the Nation may have some idea of the character and importance of the pro- feet and to enlist him in the work of safeguarding this project and the great Colorado river from the en- croachment of private interests. The building of dams and the diversion ot the waters of the river should be un- der federal control and not until the demands of the government are satls- fled should private interests be allow ed to gain foothold. This stream is an international one and state in terests has no place in the projects that will impound water or divert It onto the lands. The fact that the river has it's origin in the Wind River mountains of western Wyoming or southern Montana, does not give to any of the states through which 1t passes substantial rights tofhe waters of the stream, no more so than that Arizona should garner every drop or it. as the whole body of water passes through more than 300 miles of it's territory. And to allow states to par tition the waters of the river is ao- surd. The Mexican government may have some say in the distribution or the waters of the river, although there is a.dispute over this position of the government of the sister republic Americans hold that they may use as as much of the water as they see III and, without consent of the country through which international waters run. That Europe holds differently on the subject, as Germany, Holland France and Belgium have agreements | covering the use of the rivers that course through their various terrl- tories and each of these European states recognize the rights of the otn- ,o roatter whether it is the state wherein the waters have their source | or only course through them. :.
 But the one essential thing is to build the dam and we believe that the government will recognize the necess' itv for action and that the big under taking will be under way within a wear. As the lands that are now ly' ing below the dam are withheld from M entry there is reason to believe tha, many thousands of ex-service men will be taken care of in that territory.

 couraging gold contents at surface, and there, as elsewhere in the camp, the values increase as depth is gained.
 In addition to the deals made with the Loring interest, Burt & Probasco have also given 30-day option. on the Gold Key group of claims to M. E. Mcdonald, representing New York mining men. The property adjoins the Gold Chain estate on the north. west and carries several promising Assures. MT. McDonald left here a few days ago for New York to close the deal with his associates. McDon- aid has followed lem all from Cripple Greek, to the Pacific slope and from the Arctic Circle to South America. As a mine manager and ore-finder he stands at the top of his profess sion. His opinion of the Katherine district is therefore worthy of careful consideration. He classes it es one of the most promising gold d-bearing sections in the United States and is convinced that it will make good its surface promise at depth.
 An interesting feature in connection with the favorable light in which Messrs. Loring and Mcdonald view the future of the Katherine district is the favor it has found with other well known mining engineers, nhetallur- gists and miners. Among them are: H. R. Van Wangenen of Denver, Colo rado; Branch H. Smith of Tonopah; Nevada; Charles N. Miller of :, San Francisco, California; E. c. Calhoun of Los Angeles, California; Frank w. Stall of Tonopah, Nevada; J. K. Tur- ner of Goldfield, Nevada; D. w.. Shanks of San Francisco, California; John B. Tregloan of Alameda, Califer- mia; Charles s. Sprague of Goldfield, Nevada; J. P. Loftus of Los Angeles, California; Frank Allen of Butte, Montana; M. M. Page of Amador, California, and Tom Ward of Cripple Greek, Colorado. ., , >..
 No more forceful illustration in jus tification of their faith could be pre- scented than that offered at the Kath- erine Extension property, where the northeast continuation of the big Katherine vein was recently encoun- tered at a depth of 100 feet. At this time the vein has been cut to 8 depth of 40 feet. and is carrying average values of $6.47 a ton. The. Katherine Extension adjoins the bonanza Kath- crime mine and the discovery of the Katherine vein therein proves its con- tinuity for distance of more than a mile beyond the Katherine workings. The Katherine Extension will prob ably be the next mine to "come in" in the Katherine district, with the Gold Chain close second. Ths discovery of pay ore in the Gold Chain work ings at the intersection of the Kath- erihe vein and the well mineralized cross-vein on the property, will prove the strike of the Katherine vein

 Another deal recorded at Katherine recently was the sale of the Drum mond group of claims to Russell and associates. The property is located north of the Gold Chain and carries outcrops that are said to pan we'll in gold. Work is to be started within a few days at the Treasure Vault group, where gold values at surface range as high as $14 a ton ,and at the Nevada Katherine property, where surface as- says range from $5.85 to $7.14 a ton across a vein IS feet wide.
