WINDMILLS tO REMAKE
THE MOJAVE DESERT
San Bernardino, May 6.—That
the Mojave desert will become a
new Holland—in windmill ap
pearance—is the belief of George
H. Year, who has just, returned
from an overland trip in many
sections of the dcsert.of San Ber
nardino county. He has been
| making a study of the problem
inf how homesteaders and others
i may secure cheap power for lift
ling'waLer from wells on their
lands. Water has beeh found on
most parts of the desert,
i Mr. Year believes that a wind
mill in use in Nevada and enn
Lslrueled on a biplane arrange
ment will solve Ihe problem.
There is always a breeze on the
desert.

BROUGHT SUPPLIES FOR
THE MIDAS MINE
The 10)1 iI Ji In-ought a large* ship
ment. of gasoline, powder, caps,
fuse and other necessities for the
Midas mine. The fiipighI was
loaded on a lighter and taken
across the hay this morning.
Superintendent Ounkle feared
for a time that the damage to the
Cordova would greatly inconven
ience the work by causing a
shortage of distilale, but the
timely arrival of tile Edith re
lieved the situation.
Over-modesty Bar to Success.
Don’t hr afraid to express an
opinion, wen if it is different,
from the opinion of the boss. He
may like a man with spirit and
with brains enough to have an
opinion. Hut don’t have opin
ions unless you have studied the
i|uestion thoroughly from.'both
sides.
One of the most annoying
types in the business world is
(In' man who always wants In
start an argument.
Don’t let one mistake make you
lose your nerve. Lots .of times
a mistake has helped a man, first
by making him more careful in
the future, and second by bring
ing him into the limelight. It’s
better to be noticed once in a
while, even for a mistake, than
to bg ignored. If your work has
been satisfactory your good work
will shine by contrast and you
won’t lie unduly blamed for your
error.
A whole lot of men have failed
to rise because they were too
modest, ff you believe you can
do a thing, try it. Express belief
in your own ability, hut first be
sure vpu have the ability. No
body bill yourself knows what you
can do and if you are loo modest j
til let people find out what you i
know you have only yourself Ip I
blame if the boss doesn I seem to i
appreciate you.
It’s all right to learn the du
ties of the man next higher up in
case you get a raise, hut there are
hundreds of men who never gel
the raise because they are so
busy learning die higher work
dial they forget their own duties.
Do your own work carefully first,
and then after you have finished
it’s lime enough to want to do
the work of the other fellow.
Based on Scientific Work.
Notwithstanding the growth in
recent years of the work of the
(ieolngieal Survey along practi
cal economic lines, scientific
work has heeii noglerled, accord
ing |,j the annual report of the
director ' for last year. In lad,
in. the Survey the .seienliOc in
vestigations are inseparable from
the economic work, ■•though the
one or the other may prcdomi^
nate in purpose according, to the
needs of the particular research
in hand. In any Held economic
work of .the.highest. I'.ank is'.im
possible without fiiIt knowledge
of- the tfHcoiiile’ Jawsand Princi
ples pertaining to tile....sul/jpct "f
lhot work: but as there is ifo.ap
plication of geology which does
not involve unsolved prpldeips,
some of Ihe.m of the h.igiies.1 im
portance, the best knowledge!
available is nevertheless relative;]
It Ilius follows that, the broad and
searching observations which
should accompany every piece of
good economic work comprehend
i,fata that are eventually comhin
ied in. the construction of new
i scientific hypotheses, some of
!which, as more observations ae
j cumulate, grow into established
| laws or principles t hat are in
| turn of the greatest practical
I consequence. Thus the detailed
j st udies of the metalliferous de
! posits in one region or another
I tiring to light evidence from
j which to determine the .genesis
| of the ores and I he modes or
conditions of their occurrence,
and .the ejeononiie inquiry be
comes more intelligent and suc
cessful when once this new prin
ciple regarding the mode of an
ore occurrence is understood.
