Artificial Wells to Keep
Up Minnehaha Falls Flow
MINNEAPOLIS, June 14. (^—Pic
turesque Minnehaha Falls, immortal
ized by Henry Wadsworth Longfel
low, and known throughout the coun
try as a park showplace associated
with much Indian lore, will be saved
from virtual drouth and preserved by
artificial means, undertaken by the
local board of park commissioners.
Due to an abnormal deficiency in
precipitation in recent years, Minne
haha creek which supplies the water
fall, has suffered such a decreased
flow, as to make it impossible to sus
tain the falls, it was explained by
Theodore Wirth, superintendent of
the local park board.
As a remedy, the park board has
begun a project of supplying the wa
ter through the drilling of wells. An
800-foot well is -being sunk in Minne
haha creek, Superintendent Wirth
said, and it is hoped to suike a flow
ing well, but failing in this, a pump
will he installed. Should one well
bo insufficient, several others will be
sunk
Minnehaha Falls has a beautiful 60
foot drop, and is about forty-five feet
wide. Tourists from many states
visit the waterfall and adjacent park,
legends of which are contained in
many of the romatic works of the
Indians who once inhabited it.
Work on the project is expected to
he completed by middle summer, Mr.
Wirth said.
Misleading Statement
r- On Vessels Corrected
By Company's Agent
Us -
The recent statement appearing in
the June 12 issue of the Anchorage
Times to the effect “the Alaska S.
S. Company has announced that in
case of delay in the arrival of the
train the steamers will wait over in
Seward for 48 hours assuring intend
ing outbound passengers connections
with their steamers,” is not correct,
according to the Seward office of the
steamship company.
To the contrary, on occasions of a
couple of hours’ delay, the vessels
of the company may be held over,
but no definite assurance of any giv
en length of time has ever been giv
en out for publication, either by the
Anchorage or local office.
The schooner Sealand arrived in
port Saturday night from Seldovia,
and took on a cargo of oil.

South Africa Views Return
Of Gold Money Both Ways
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa,—
There has been much rejoicing among
the natives because of the return to
gold money which they use as per
sonal ornaments, but the change is
not popular with the public general
ly, which has become accustomed to
paper currency. Several of the larg
er mining companies have already
adopted gold in anticipation of South
Africa’s official return July 1 and
more than 600,000 sovereigns have
been paid out to workers.
The men, however, say they prefer
paper to gold because the gold coins
are so easily lost and are too heavy
for the pockets. It is quite differ
ent, however with the natives, who,
as has been the custom for years,
make the gold pieces into jewelry
and any surplus on hand they bury
in the ground floor of their huts.
They have found, too, that the white
ants often eat the notes.
