IMPORTANCE OF DISCOVERY

VIII Wonders never cease2 For
many years the common remark
among the residents of this portion
OF the territory has been that there
was no mineral of any value to be
found In these parts. The last few
months has proved that that remark
was far from right But no one has
ever thought OF looking for mineral
other than gold or copper in all these
years until G. L. Rhodes landed In

Rhodes has Just returned from Ribera.
