Tho preliminary work of tho consus
ofllco In collecting data relative to tho
arid and sub-humid regions shows that
luring tho past 10 yeaiH vast areas
have been reclaimed by irrigation, both
by ditching from running streams and
drilling for subterranean waters.
Whuro only a few years ago tho sage
brush struggled for existence in tho
midst of a waste of alkali and sand,
today aro Holds of waving grain and
blossoming orango-grovos. Hundreds
of miles of canals and ditches have
boon constructed: hundreds of wolls
have been sunk, and thousands of acres
of laud have been cultivated in zones
where ouco the desolation of Sahara
reigned.
Moistened by fresh waters and fertil
ized by tho rich silt of tho swift moun
tain streams, once trackless wastes and
desolate valleys iu the arid Southwest,
have hocomo as fertile as tho famous
valley of tho Nile, and lend forth crops
of endless variety and exceeding abun
dance.
Irrigation Is intensivo farming.
Where the water supply is ample, it is
suro farming. There are no failures
and ciops are enormous. Tho oxpcri
diced irrigator is like tho trained en
gineer with his band od tho level1. Tho
movements of his hand regulate tho
amount of water supplied to his lltlds
ns those of the engineer couirol his en
gluo. In most of tho irrigablu sections of
tho West, fertilizers have never been
used, although the land has been con
stantly cultivated for over two centur
ies. In many sections fields may to
seen which have yielded succossivo
crops of wheat for 40 years and show
no diminution of productive strength.
Wonderful progress is shown in the
methods of constructing canals, dams,
and pumping machinety, and In tho
manner of distributing water. Modern
inventions iu machinery lmvo greatly
luMcnod the time, labor, and cost -.of
construction aud management, and
inude possible many gigantic enterprises
of laud reclamation and water utiliza
tion.
Mountains bavo been tunnolod and
whole rivers bavo been lifted from
their beds aud spread over tho valleys
precisely as wanted. High up in tho
ranges and ou tho elevatod plateaus
immense storage reservoir bavo been
constructed to impound the flood
waters of tho streams no that tho thirs
ty land below shall not sutler during
tho long rainless summer.
As tho successful solution of the
problom of conservation of flood waters
means tho reclamation of millions of
ncroH of public laud, the ieoplo natur
ally ask the government to promoto
measures having this end in view. To
this demand tho government responds.
Lands containing excellent reservoir
sites lmvo been set asldo and a
thorough study of the sources and por
muuoncH of tho water supply of arid
regions has been made to enable cou-
gress to legislato with intelligence upon
this important subject.
Iu aid of this work tho twelfth cen
sus will endeavor comprehensively to
show tho present condition and values
of agriculturo in tho arid and sub
humid regions; tho length, irrlgablo
extent and cost of tho various canals,
wolls and ditches; the character, vol-
umo and constancy of water supply;
systems employed in distribution;
amount paid for water and tho crops,

Mayor Cashul, of Nome, tells of Its
wonderful riches:
When I llrst camo to Nomo, on June
27, from INiwson, somo men wore
working on the beach to see what they
could get out of it. Thoy worked'
quietly at first, but protty soon tho
news of the richness of the bench got
out. HuHlnoss men quit their business
in town and went to tho boach to
work. The whole shoro bocamo an at
traction. As regards the gold, thoro aro two,
and sometimes three, pay streaks. In
the first the gold is almost always
found in a strata of ruby sand, espec
ially when found above bedrock. TJili
bed rock is really a falso rock, for it
consists of a stratum of clay or sand.
It varies. I think that below it ii
another bed rock.
When gold Is found on this so-called
bed rock it is sometimes deposited with
u sediment of tho character of ruby
sand, and sometimes othorwlso. Thli
ruby sand is nothing moro than iron.
The water runs over the tailings in the
color of blood. Tho redder it is tho
richer the deposit.
1 don't llko to thoorizo as to whero
tho gold comes from, but tho gold it
noarly always coarser near tho shore
than ut the edgo of tho tundra, giving
tho impression that it comes out of the
sea, bucaiiso the finest particles are
fouud deposited at tho furthest poi"l I
from tho present surf action. Within
a radius of two miles on tho beach
from the spit to tho northwest 1
counted personally, about August 1C,
280 rockers. Thero wero at least twe
men to each, and away beyond these
rockers, bolow tho Indian village for
eoven or eight miles, was on almost
continuous line of men.
Taking it as a conservative average,
I should think 2,500 men wero work
ing on the beach between tho mouth of
Snake river and Cripple river. I judge
very fow men made less than .$10 a
day, and tho avcrago was at least an
ounce a day, or $16.
I know personally two men who
took out $11), 000 between July 15 and
October 4. These wero Cummings and
Missouri Hill, and thero were otheri
that I know In a short epaco of time
took out lota of gold. J. W. Logan, a
San Francisco newspaper man, and
three associates, took oat $7,000 in 30
dayi and left tho country. Thoy just
worked ono little draw. This is con
servative. I made myself, under favorable cir
cumstances, $100 a day for a time.
Any man who went on tho beach and
would work ten hours a day made big
money. Moat men didn't work hard,
and in a great many instances they
rocked over and lost more than they
saved. Tho appliances wore crado and
the men inexperienced. But after the
introduction of copper and silvei
plates, better results were obtained. 1
rstimato that an average of 2,000 men
wore working on tho boach and that
they mado $1,600 each. This would
bring the product up to $2,000,000,
and 1 bolievo that at the least the pro
duct was from $1,500,000 to $2,000,
000. They worked nearly thirteen
miles of this beach.

WOOLEN GOODS ACTIVE.
I'roTti nn Kxrillon to riiilliiea Shown
III Otlmr I.lnra.
Ilradstreet's roviow says:
KxcoptlotiB to tho quiet and even
dullness shown by tho many lines of
trade and speculation aro found in tho
active demand for woolen goods for
next fall's dollverft, and In tho activo
call for dry goods on spring account.
In tho latter direction, prices shof
j special strettth, and the bulk of tho
businoss placed in wooiens nas neon as
an advance of 25 to 40 per cent. In
other lines, notable steadiness is shown
in prlcos. Weather conditions through
out the country part of trjo week havo
been against trade in seasonable goods,
and thero is vory general complaint of
large stocks of winter goods in the
hands of this branch of trade. Another
cfTcct of tho usually mild weather ia
that shown in tho Northwestern lum
ber business. The lack of snow will
probably insure a reduction on the cut
of last year, and this, combined with
smaller stocks, points to at least a
maintenance of present lumber quota
tions. "Woolen manufacturers have consti
tuted an excoption to the general quiet.
They opened their order books this
we'ek, and an unusually heavy volumo
of business is reported to havo been re
corded. Cotton goods aro reported in
good demand in nearly all markets,
and tho confidence as to spring business
in dry ttoods and clothing is a notable
feature, in sharp contrast, in fact, with
tho reports received from retailers as to
the present season's business in winter
wear goods. Scarcity of water is com
plained of as limiting tho output of
New England cotton mills, which oro
reported as backward in deliveries.
