Believe the shale Was sailed.

Residents of Trego and Ellis coun-
ties take no stock in the reports of
gold discoveries" there except to en-
courage those who believe in them,
and as a result several, thousand acres
of land have been leased by prospectors.
1t is difficult to make the world believe
that a gold field on the Kansas prairie
is the genuine article. f. o. Popenoe,
who has made a thorough investiga-
ton of the Kansas gold fields, gives it
as his opinion that they produce no
gold. Assays of the shale taken from
the mines showed pay" gold, running
from $40 to $50 a ton. Mr. Popenoe now
believes that the shale was ''salted."
