GOLD HILL
Much Interest Being taken in This Prom
Using District Many Preparations Be-
ing Made for Work This Season.

Gold Hill is more active for the
month of April than ever before
in its history. Mining men are
hurrying preparations for the sum
mer's work, and machinery and
general mining supplies are al
ready reaching Saratoga.
The Gold Hill country seems to
absorb the greatest attention and
it is likely that extensive develop
ment work will be done there
during the present season. Com
panies and individuals owning
property at Gold Hill are wide
awake and making ready in a man
ner most satisfactory to the citi-
zens of this place.
Along with the Gold Hill fever
Is a decided mining excitement
over the glowing prospects to the
southwest. This excitement is
caused largely by copper, and
many ara Quitting To prospect
in that section.
In the development and prog
ress of Gold Hill, Centennial has
many direct interests, inasmucb
as the territory is not far distant,
and its prosperity would in a
great measure contribute to the
welfare of Centennial, and greatly
enhance commercial and industri-
al conditions here; then too, many
Centennial people own property
in the Gold Hill neighborhood
and all together many benefcent
results to Centennial are to be ex-
pected in the event of Gold Hills
success. The Laramie, Hahn's
Peak q Pacific railroad will enter
the Gold Hill country, making il
possible for the mines in that dis
trict to flourish under more salts.

Coal Company, of Morrisville, Pa.
A contract to sink 60 feet on the
shaft was let to p. j. Winters a
short time ago. The vein show
ed mp four feet in width on the
surface, and the ore matter was
iron, with some copper glance.
AT a depth of 81 feet permanent
water was struck, and the charac-
ter of the ore changed to glance
and copper s~ulphides. The ore
changed in character up to 40 feet
which depth was reached the first
of the week and the contractor
sent down samples of the ore,
chunks of which would weigh full.
ly a hundred pounds, being covel-
lite in character, and reported to
the owners that the entire shaft
was in covellite ore.
AT the present time they have
nothing but the hanging wall,
which is diorite. From surface
indications the foot wall is sup
posed to be granite. The width
OF the vein is hot known at pres
ent, no cross-cut having as vet
been made.
Encampment is wild over the
strike and they have good reason
to be. for the indications are that
another New Rambler has been
struck. Average samples of ore
taken from the 30 foot level give
l1.S5 per cent. copper. What the
present ore in the shaft will as
say can only be conjectured, but
it lis safe to say that it will equal
anything ever produced by the
New Rambler.
This strike is of the utmost i'm
p%ortance, and will do more to
bring a railroad into southern
Carbon county than anything that
has happened in the past six
months. In fact the Importance
of the discovery of covellite in
that region cannot be overrated.

About a year ago W. E. Tilton
made application to the District
Court of this county to be ap-
pointed administrator of the es-
tate of Chauncy B. Tilton, his
father, and vas accordingly ap-
pointed. A. M. Rice, ct al, the

which application was heard last
Saturday, resulting in his receiv-

that all moneys due the estate in

Mr.. Rice resisted the appointment.

Potato Disease and Treatment Of Seed.

There can be no doubt that the
C of the potato crop depends
very much on the condition of the
seed. The time for planting is
near at hand, and we wish to call
attention to potato troubles which
may be avoided to some extent by
treating the seed. Our expert
ments indicate that such treat
ment, if carefully done, will prove
highly profitable. The average
grower does not realize as great
profits from his potatoes as he
might obtain. There are too
many failures; too many instances
of only partial crops, and too
many potatoes put on the market
which are scabby or otherwise
imperfect.
About two years ago Prof. F. NJ.
Rolls, of the Colorado Experiment
Station, discovered the of
many of our potatoe failures, and
his study since that time has been
of great value to the potato grow
err. The troubles which are often
"blight" collar" or '.crown rot
"black ring" and "little potatoes
are due to a disease which is caus-
ed by a fungus known as RHY-
ZOCTONIA This fungus grows
on a dozen or more different
kinds of plants, and does serious
injury to several of our more i'm
portant agricultural crops. 1t
was first discovered IN alfalfa and
clover roots in Europe nearly
ninety years ago, but the first ac-
count of its appearance in this
country was published by the
Cornell and Geneva Experiment
Stations in 1901. so serious is
the pest on potatoes in the West,
that it not only decreaces the po-
tato crop thousands of dollars
worth every year, but over large
areas farmers make few attempts
to raise potatoes at all, under the
impression hat their soil is such
that it is impossible to grow profit
able crops.
In our potato regions it is nee
essary to change the seed every
two or three years, in order to get
that which is more free from the
disease or more able to resist it's
attack. Two years ago potato
crops failed generally over a large
portion of the West. The cause
was not apparent, but 1t is now
believed that the season was es.
pecially favorable to the growth
of this fungus.
The fungus grows on the pota-
toes themselves, producing rough,
cracked, corky skins, but the prin-
cipal damage is done by its attack
on the young sprouts. 1t either
kills them before they come up,
causing poor stands of plants, or
affects the growing vine in such a
manner that the root-stocks, upon
which the young potatoes set, are
either cut Oft or the vine is depriv-
ed of nourishment, so the tubers
which do set on. remain ANAL

(c) The timber must be located
by a forest officer before any cut
ting is done.
9. Terms of this privilege.
(a) Only the timber applied for
can be cut. For instance: No
green timber may be taken if dry

served.
(g) The wood, timber, or mater
ial derived from it is to be used
only at the place stated in the APP

where, and especially the sale of
it, makes the cutting a trespass,
and the applicant becomes liable
to suit and is always debarred
thereafter from the privilege of
free use.
(h) The cutting of the timber
by a local mill is permissible; but
the saving must be paid for in
cash, and can not be done on
shares. Moreover, the saving

be done in a manner required by
the forest officer, and in such way
MS to enable him to determine
whether or not the timber and
lumber are really used in the place

been added to each page, widening
and lengthening the form of the

machine had served long and we'll
but The Sentinel has outgrown it,
and with the new press one-quarter
more reading matter can be sup
piled with one-half the outlay of
presswork.
1t is with considerable pride that
the publishers present The Sentinel

proof that the work they set out to
do is being rewarded; that The
Sentinel is spreading its wings, in
keeping with the new Grand juno
ton that has burst its she'll

that as the city and county grew
their paper would grow in proper

They trust and believe that this
forward step is but the forerunner
of further and greater advancement

ish as the child of their hopes.
Without the cooperation and
support of The Sentinel's readers
and advertisers this progress would,
of course, have been impossible
To them all the credit is due. And
while The Sentinel cannot promise
