South Dakotas, Minnesota, Michigan,
Iowa and Nebraska, and we also get
quite few from Missouri and Ten

who have money, those who have sold
out their farms in the east for high
prices and come here to get land just
as good but much cheaper
The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1905-09-08

A special to the Herald from Mont
pelier, few days ago, said:
Few people in the intermountain
country know that one of the most ex-
tensive lime phosphate beds in the
world is just now being opened in the
hills adjacent to Montpelier. The de-
post is only couple of miles from
this city, and it has been known to ex-
list there for the past thirty years, but
everyone here thought it was coal
outcrop, and much work has been done
on the deposit with that belief 10 mind.
Two years ago Charles Jones, mining
engineer Of Salt Lake, was in this sec
ton looking over some other prospects
when his attention was called to the
"biack belt" as it is known to every
one hereabouts. He made an examin-'
alton and found that 1t was a lime
phosphate proposition, and from the
work done, while looking for coal, he
found the deposit was the most extern
sive he had ever seen or heard of any
WACt o. AuMOoinbc1y loCdtlonS WbIo
made and further development work
was undertaken. The result to date is
that the bed has been traced for thirty
or forty miles down into Utah and over
into Wyoming. In fact, there seems to
be no end to it, and the quality is of
the very highest grade. The largest
amount SO far found, and also the best,
is almost within the limits of this city.
Unfortunately, however, the claims
close to this city are tied up in litiga-
ton, the point of difference being
whether the deposit should be taken
up as placer or quartz, and the next
federal court at Pocatello will be asked
to decide the contention When this
matter is disposed of the deposits will
be developed on an extensive scale, no
matter which way the suit goes, as both
claimants are heavy moneyed men, one
outfit being California capitalists and
the other representing English capital
The fields we're recently looked over
by an extensive operator of phosphate
beds in Tennessee, and he pronounced
item the finest and largest in the
world; and he further said that if a
reasonable rate could be had on the
railroads for shipping The product, the
Montpelier deposits would become the
scene of great activity in very short
time. There is said to be large aud
constantly growing demand for this
sort of fertilizer all over the wheat
belts of the Union.
The people are greatly interested in
the new venture and all hope the legal
entanglements in which the fields are
now enmeshed will be speedily unrav-.
eled, and that development WORK will
start soon on large scale.

Kicklns as an Agent q Reform

Civilization is the work of the kick
or, says the Chicago Chronicle. There
cannot be too much intelligent and
honest kicking. The kicker is the
motive power of progress. If it had
not been for him humanity would still
be living in caves, wearing skins and
going out with stone Ratchet to kill
something for dinner. The world never
has received an impetus from the man
who is satisfied with thir gs as they are.
A Chicago philosopher was once so
profoundly impressed with this truth
that he declared that every man who
reaches the age of As should be taken
out and executed because, as he al
legged, men of that age become satisfied
with the status quo aud thus act as a
clog upon the wheels of progress. This,
of course, is an extreme view of the
matter, but the principle which it en-
bodies ic correct. Kicking is another
name for dissatisfaction with existing
abuses-either active or passive-and
kicking is consequently the agent of
reform and progress.
