Land Office, Washington. d. G by geolo-
gist and mining expert of worldwide reputa-
ton, Professor Benjamin Silliman, who
spent several months there, then being con
nected with the United States Surveying

''Here are countless millions OF tons of
rich gold quartz reduced by the great forces
OF nature to a condition ready for the appl-
cation Of the hydraulic process, while the
entire bed Of the Rio Grande for over 40
milesi Is a sluice, on the bars Of which the
gold derived from the wearing away Of the
gravel banks has been accommodating for
countless ages, and now lies ready for ex-
traction by the most approved methods OF
river mining. The thickness Of the Rio
Grande gold gravel exceed In many places
600 feet, or nearly three times that Of the
like beds in California, while the average
value per cubic yard is believed to be gre tier
in the New Mexico beds than in any other
such accumulations yet discovered.
II have made reconnaissance of the whole
of this gravel along the Rio Grande, and
have examined with all the care possible in
the time at my command the character OF
the gravel and its contents of gold. Moth
ing, | am persuaded, since the discovery of
California and Australia, is comparable for
its measurable resources Of gold available

A Public Dumping Ground.

Clarksburg is in deplorable need OF proper
devices with which to destroy the garbage oil the
CITY. The health officer cries, clean up" But
the city provides no way for the observance OF his
commands. Wagon loads of garbage and rubbish
are to be found IN alleys and back yards. De
composition sets in. Disease germs are bred.
Our people get sick and die, and still we are power
less. The lamentation goes up that our people
are not clearly and that wifully invite disease
We are under the ban of the health officer. Coun-
Gil complacently listens to his details of the uni
versal existence of filth, patiently hears him
through and then seemingly forgets all about the
matter That body acts as if the garbage and filth
question is of no importance, and does nothing
toward having clean city and, in other words,
nothing to protect the health of our citizens. This
may be an oversight more than anything else, and
the Telegram respectfully calls the attention OF that
body to the urgent necessity o: providing public
places, where garbage may be destroyed The
new council should take this matter up at once and
lose no time in properly disposng Of 1t. By all
means give US place to burn our rubbish and de.
stroy our garbage Then, will We guarantee you
a clean and healthy city

DaiIy Disgust.

The people behold with disgust the conglom'

items given in the Daily Post, and feel like treat
inc that sheet to fusillade of rotten eggs The
blnnders are the most palpable we ever saw
and are absolutely without excuse Ine most
collosal inaccuracies are observed ana thefe IS
every indication of a spirit OF Indifference.
Clarksburg would take great pride IN creoltable
daily paper, but enters protest against Two oy

AS an instance, Wednesday that sheet had Fhllp

fine two babies buried in one box, and
asked that the parentage be traced when' IN
fact The babies were buried in separate boxes and
the children had been owned by their parents a
hours before the criticism by the Post was pup
lisbed Furthermore not satisfied with telling the
public once that those babies were buried IN one
6ox. the Post tells it second time by running the
same article twice verbatim ct literatim. Then
they talked about the ordinance committee on an
ordinance to prohibit slot machines thus creating
a new committee for the city council. And with
city directory close at hand they seldom get

to be one line Advertisement and, if not that,
product of the pot and metal factory. About the
only readable news they have is that clipped from
other papers, which is anywhere from three days

late daily journalism, Clarksburg would be far
better off without it.

Upon thorough investigation of the facts
the Telegram finds the street story published last
week which, it is claimed caused the the defeat of
Will Thompson for mayor. is inaccurate and untrue
and especially so as to that part connecting W. S.
Siers with the new brick plant and his reputed
action in reference to paving. reliable city
official who is in position to know, says Mr.. siers
course all through the paving has been highly
honorable and that he took the first and principal
steps in having the brick rejected by council Mr..
Sers informs US that that part Of the street story
which connects him with the brick plant is wholly
untrue and so far as the Telegram is able to learn
we believe Mr.. Siers speaks the truth in that mat
ter. We, therefore, cheerfully place him Alright
before the people in that particular and denounce
the righteousness of the crcuators of the story in
this The course of Mr.. Siers in council has been
seemingly honorable in every particular and as
stated last week. the Telegram was loathe to believe
the story 90 that account and has no hesitancy in
generating him from the charges brought against
him by his enemies.

A Public City Cemetery Needed.

With the poors dead found buried Oh the hill
sides, it is about time for the city to wake up to
the urgent necessity Of puofc buryins ground.
Notwithstanding the prosperity OF the land, there
are to be found people as poor as church mouse
and their poverty drives them to unnatural deeds
They have not the wherewithal to purchase lot il
either of the cemeteries and are ashamed TO turn
their sacred dead over to the county for burial
To do the latter Is with them to be disgraced
While a city graveyard would be Potter's field
too, yet it would not be regarded in that light and
the bereft could have their dead near them We
urge the council not to let another moon pass be,
fore proper, effective steps taken for public
city cemetery. Locate it on some suitable sub.
urban site and place it under proper regulation.
The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1901-04-12

As the city develops, the opportunities and
responsibilities Of government become more M.
merous, and greater. The methods Vof decade
ago are unfit for the present and even those en-
ployed the past year inadequate for the year
ensuing. We are becoming larger and greater
and we need larger and greater city government.
1t is hoped that the new city administration duly
appreciates the situation and win prepare itself to
meet the demands Of the times Profit by the ex.
perieuce Of Others, but De original in your ideas
and individual in your undertakings. Above all
aim to make this the most successful business
administration in the city history.
The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1901-04-12

A spirit prevails to increase the police force.
Don't crush that spirit. The Telegram wants it to
grow into full maturity. Our plea has been for
months for larger force. The number should be
in proportion to the need, not superhuously large
but sufficient for proper and regulated admins
tration of the affairs of the city. Great care
should be taken 10 the selection of these officers.
Those who have been tried and found wanting
should not be reappointed, but those who have
done faithful service and shown ability should be
rewarded with reappontment. Let the incoming
council be duly wise and diligent in the selection
Of these officers as much depends upon them.

VinOI Makes Weak
People Strong.
WE GUARANTEE IT WILL
DO so.
WE KNOW OF NO TONIC OR RE-
BUILDER LIKE it.
Yinol does crente strenrth.

Vinol does create strength.
We know that and have proved it in
many instances
The reason Vinol reiuvenates and
strengthens n person is that it acts
directly upon the stomach, strengthen
ing and toning up this great vital organ
and enabling it to obtain for itself,
from the food that is taken into it, the
elements which are required to make
firm healthy flesh and muscle tissue,
sound bone structure and pure healthy
blood.
Vinol does this in scientific way
and is enabled to do it because it con-
tains. dissolvedi in delicate mild wine,
in highly concentrated state, the act
i've principles of cod-liver oil
Vinol does not contain any of the
grease that formerly characterized cod
liver oil, hence is free from all the OBJ
jectionable features which made it inn
possible for patients to take or retain
that vile-smelling remedy into their
stomach.
Vinol in its favorable action upon
the stomach and other organs Of the
body acts also in beneficial way upon
the nerves and brain, and will be
found to be invaluable to brain workers
as well as body workers.
The following letter is from we'll
known authoress. 1t reads as follows:
81 wish to acknowledge the receipt
OF the Vinol and testify to its great
benefits. Since taking it am much
improved in health. and during the in
tense heat of last August should not
have been able to continue in my liter
airy work if it had not been for the
strengthening properties of Vinol.
Yours in gratitude ELLA STARR, 1O6

We wlshany one sufferingfrom
weakness, a demoraIized con-
dition of the nerves, or a suscep-
tibiIity to wasting diseases, to
call on US and hear what we have
to say in regard to VinoI.
Try it on our recommendation,
and If you find it does not do
everything we claim for 1t, we
will gladly refund to you the

The fact that some of the large cities in Ohio
went democratic in their municipal elections is
forming the basis for exultant hopes by the demo-
cratic press They forget that over in Ohio
the people in local elections not especially

times vote the other way. Occasionally they pick
