NEW DISCOVERY OF BUILDING
SAND AT BIG BEND
AS VALUABLE AS GOLD
Sand Found Fourteen Miles From
Rapid City, Up The
Crouch Lines.

Sand for building purposes
has been something. of prob
lem to Rapid City for many
years. Yet there has been all
this time sleeping mountains Of
it within half an hours ride up
the Crouch Lines. All dis
coveries in a mineral way seem
largely to come by accident,
and the same seems to be true Of
sand. Some time ago Supt.
Crouch of the Crouch Lines
while on kind of prospecting
tour together with business up
the Scenic Route, stopped off at
Big Bend and being III a curious
mind went up the hillside.
Not far up from the track pine
tree had fallen, bringing up
with the roots the soil, which
Mr.. Crouch discovered to be
sand partially in the form Of
natural concrete. Upon pick
ing up a piece it could readily
be crushed between the fingers,
when it became a hard, gritty,
sharp and clean sand, free alb
solutely from dirt, OF other for
eign substances, and peculiarly
adapted to the manufacturing
of cement products, plastering
and all kinds Of building where
sand is needed in manufacture.
Thousands, perhaps millions
of years ago, geologists say, the
Black Hills were the bed Of apre-
historic ocean and these noun
tains Of gold, silver, tin and
kindred products in the miner
erals were then formed, far be-
meath the never-ceasing roll of
the waves a prehistoric inland
sea, that might have covered the
now weird and mysterious Bad
Lands to the Missouri River and
beyond. During this period
this mountain Of sand was no
doubt formed, the face Of which
seems to be a rock formation by
the natural process Of exposure
to weather making a natural
concrete wall, behind which
there is sand enough to make
Rapid City grow for a million
years or more.
A representative Of the Rapid
City Pressed Stone Company at
the invitation Of Mr.. Crouch
visited the site Of this sand the
first of the week for the purpose
of ascertaining it's real value,
making a thorough investiga-
ton Of the formation, and they
brought back with them samples
Of this concrete Of nature which
is pronounced by experts in the
concrete line to be the best sand
and gravel product that they
ever before seen. It will surely
take the place Of the hitherto
sandstone that has been such a
disappointment in the building
of concrete work, in the after.

The Quimby Controversy.

For twenty-five years a con-
troversy has ragged between the
the Christian Scientists, and
the followers Of the New
Thought movement, also called
Mental Healers who declare
that Mrs. Eddy received the
ideas and radical principles of
Christian Science from Phineas
P. Quimby. The arguments on
both sides Of this controversy
are given in the March install
ment Of Georgine Milmine's
MARY Baker G.. Eddy" Fac
simile letters, affidavits and quo
tations from Mrs. Eddy's books
and writings are shown as are
the documents and contentious
Of the Quimby followers.
Mrs. Eddy's claims to divine
inspiration and her belief that
Christian Science is fore-told in
the book of Revelations are
brought out by a letter Of hers,
and by quotations from her
"Retrospection and Introspec-
ton and "Science and Health"
In the same manner the three
different dates she gives for her
discovery Of her Science are
shown, as are the discrepancies
in her various accounts Of the
particular episodes that oc-
casioned it.
Over against these claims are
quoted Mrs. Eddy's own letter
to Julius A. Dresser and DR..
Alvin M. Cushing's affidavit
and account Of her fall on the
ice and the treatment he adj
ministered for the injury which
she claims was niraculously
cured. Quimby's adherents
"believe that Mrs. Eddy's own
contradictory statements in
validate her claims that God
miraculously revealed to her the
principles Of Chistian Science.
They put forth as the chief wit
ness against Mrs. Eddy, Mrs.
Eddy herself.'
"The controversy is chiefly
upon two points; whether
Quimby healed mentally
through the divine power ol
mind, or physically through
mesmerism or magnetism; anc
whether he himself developed
Ibis own theory and wrote hi

Irish Horses and Athletes.

The history of horses. especially Of
thoroughbreds. goes to prove that parts
Of Ireland and Australia are the very
best cradles for horse breeding in
either Europe or elsewhere, with Eng
land as the second best perhaps the
equal The suggestion has been thrown
out that the secret lies in lime sub
soil. The reason for the supposition
is a little obscure. The present writer
has found that partridges bred on such
soil are heavier ana stronger and, il
seems, fly faster than others, but this
is hardly an analogy that can be APP
piled TO the horse. There are other
curious analogies. 1t has long been
noticed that the best high jumpers
among human athletes, even when the
scene of their feats is America, are of
Irish descent 1t is not less certain
that the best jumpers among horses,
especially a large percentage at Con
tinental concours, derive their origin
from Ireland, with Australia and Eng
land as occasional rivals. From the
statistics energies strong presumptive
evidence that the climate even more
than the breeding skill tends TO
strengthen the strain.-London Out

Value Of Beet Sugar Products.

Some idea of the magnitude of the
beet sugar industry in the United
States can be given by estimating the
value of the beets sold by the growers
to the factories and of the refined
sugar placed on the market by the
factories last year.
If we assume that the average price
paid for beets in 1906 was So per ton,
the total value of the 1926, 112 tons of
beets harvested is $21, 180,560. If we
estimate the value of the sugar at ~
cents per pound, the 967, $4,000 pounds
of sugar manufactured were worth

Storing the Crop.
Celery will withstand considerable
frost, but its keeping qualities as well
as flavor will be impaired if it is al
lowed to freeze. 1t may be banked up
with earth and the plants covered with
coarse stable manure, straw or corn
fodder held in place by stakes or old
boards. The celery can be removed
from these ridges as needed, but will
be found to be very inaccessible dur
ing the time when the ground is fro
zen hard.

RHEUMATISM CANNOT BE
CURED
of M. r. Burt is the Home of
Uric-O in Middiebury

The Rheumatic person is skeptical regard
ng the claims of almost any remedy adver.
tised as a cure for Rheumatism and one can
scarcely blame him for being So All the
plasters and liniments combined never actu-
ally cured a case of Rheumatism. They may
relieve it one in quarter, but it is sure to break
out somewhere else. The only true way to
cure Rheumatism is to drive it from the system
for as long as the Uric and Rheumatic Acid
remains in the blood one is never entirely
free from the trouble. This is where the
value OF Uric-O as permanent cure for Rheu-
matism comes in. 1t seeks out the Rheuma.
tic poison in the blood, muscles and kidneys,
renders it inert and harmless and drives it
out of the system. That is why Uric-O is such
an admirable and effective cure for Rheuma-
tsm.
The chief reason that Uric-O is such won
derful cure for rheumatism is, that it is de-
signed and prepared to cure Rheumatism
and Rheumatism only. 1t does not contain
any alcohol OF other so called tonics to make
one 'feel good" for the time being. but is
composed of antidotes for the rheumatic acid
poison in the system. That is the secret of
its wonderful success. Rheumatism simply
cannot exist in persons system if Uric-O is
used.
Uric-O is sold by M. r. Burt, "The home
of Uric-O" in Middlebury, at 75c and SI.oo

its efficacy you can test it free of charge by
cutting out this advertisement and sending
same together with your name and address
to the Smith Drug Co., Syracuse, N. Y. and
they will send you sample bottle free. To
persons who write and say they have never
used Urco-O, want to test it thoroughly, and
will agree to take it systematically according
to directions, they frequently send regular
age bottle free
