It would be a great error however,
to oeheve that the present condition
of these fields is anywhere near sys

merely to meet the personal needs of
the population of the neighboring
villages.
Practically all the wells are just
simple pits, the oil forming little
pools in them. The natives dip buck

move the oil, and sometimes it is re

American enterprise for explo.tat,on

to that. When he was certain he could
locate the direction from which it came
then he heard it no,more until he had
gone on. Gradually he forgot It In the
physical sensatiook of the climb. He
burned his hands and knees. He grew
I hot and wet and winded. His heart
thumped so that it hurt, and there
were instants when his sight was
blurred. When at last he had toiled,
to where the Yaqui sat awaiting him
upon the rim of that great wall, it was
none too soon.
Gale lay back and restesd for awhile
without note of anything except the
blue sky. Then he sat up. He was
amazed to find that after that wonder
ful climb he was only a thousand feet
or so above the valley. Judged by the
nature of his effort, he would have said
he had climbed a mile. The village lay
beneath him, with its new adobe struc
tures and tents and buildings in bright
contrast with the older habitations. He
saw the green alfalfa fields, and Beid
ing's white horses, looking very small
and motionless. He pleased himself
by imagining he could pick out Blatt
co Sol. Then his gaze swept on to the
river.
Indeed, he realized now why some one
had named it Forlorn river. Even at
this season when it was full of water
it had a forlorn aspect. Itfwas doomed
never to mingle with the waters of the
Gulf. It wound away down the valley,
growing wider and shallower, en
croaching more and more on the gray
flats, until it disappeared on its sad
journey toward Sonoyta. That vast
i shimmering, sun-governed waste recog-

and was already with parched tongue
and insatiate fire licking and burning
up its futile waters.

hand, always eloquent of meaning.

"The lesson of the past year seems

Its points of contact, however, are
necessarily limited by the amallness
of its appropriations and for this
