display will be a revelation of the
mineral wealth Of Imperial county
as around 30 different mineral sam

II has long been the wish Of the
Chambe directors to arrange min
cral display in the local chamber
rs the general public is not well in

biiitics Of the mineral development
Of Imperial county. Recently the

Jag made survey of the minerals

in@s, which have not as yet been an

viii be an induccment to those in
tercSted in mining to develop furth-
or the properties in the valley and
surrounding country.
Years ago Imperial Valley, and
particularly the area in the south
end of the Chocolate mountains, east
of Ogilby attracted many prospec-
tors and number of gold mines
were discovered which later had mil
lions cf dollars to their credit. The
publishing of the recent mineral sur

YEAR IS FAVORAbLE
FOR DIGCROPS, SAYS
WEATHER OBSERVER
@. w. Roberts Finds Yields Usu.
ally Are Better When
Spring Is Tardy

North Dakota probably is on the
eve Of one OF its best crop years In
the opinion Of Orris w. Roberts, u.
s. weather observer at the Bismarck
station.
Observer Roberts made the state
ment at the noon luncheon Of the
Lions club, today. and based it on the
law Of averages and the records Of
the local weather bureau. He and
Joseph A. Kitchen, he said, had kept
track Of good crop years, and almos.

riods, he said.
Here, he said, Is April, with the sol.

Of the spring crop preparations are
possible in February or March. !.
3S-Day Dry Record
While the precipitation since last
September has been an inch and a
half above normal, the last 80 days
have made a dry record for IS years.
Winter having been so liberal in
moisture, the state car 60 10 to Is
days longer on such q dry period
and still be in good shape for seeding.
It is such years. he said. which then
produce the best crops. The percent
age for late springs is 95 per cent
good crops.
The observer said he had had talks
with fully 100 farmers in the last
week and had found none complain
Ing. All report their soil in good con-
dition from q standpoint Of moisture.
| Fursees Two Wet Years
A further prediction by Observer
Roberts was that 1880 is likely to
prove a wet year, and 1881 should be,
in the light Of records and the law Of
averages, even wetter.
Difficulties Of predicting weather
are in part due in the Northwest to
the fact that the weather usually de-
velops out Of Canada. The rains come
from there, also the cold. And while
hot waves come in from the south
they are in many respects dependent
on conditions in Canada. Chicago
thus Is generally in q better position
to make general forecasts. while Bis
marck can best modify this general
forecast to fit local conditions.
N. d. Has Most Sunshine
North Dakota, he said, has less
heavy wind than Iowa or Illinois and
more sunshine on the average thar
any state except Arizona. The rair
records of the bureau here are SC
complete that it usually is possible t.
guess from them alone whether the
day is likely to be sunny or wet. Sew.
