connervntiYe Action.
lIadega Mountain Homo,

Much activity is evidenced in the ranks of the Farmers Union all over the south. displaying a determination to control the product of their labor. They have set IS cents a pound as a price for their cotton and SEQ a ton for their seed. In the light of present con ditions and prices of other commodi- ties. no one will dare say that the farmers have acted otherwise than conser vative in fixing prices. Cotton and cotton seed are worth every cent of tho price asked.

All OF lto Houses built OF brIcks o.
Gold and silver Ore. ~.
One reads Of romatic castles OF silver
and palaces q gold. but they are the
dreams of fiction--now they have dis
covered something as strange on the
map Of Mexico. The buildings Of q
whole town have been bought at so
much ton, based on assays from the
adobe walls. which give gold and sill
yer values. This town Ia Guanajuta-
tos suburb, Tepetapa. at a value OF
about 1000 Mexican currency
The value Of this little town was re-
vealed when the Mexican Central de-
cided to build into the city OF Guanaju-
alto and to establish station there.
II was found necessary to tear down
about three hundred buildings which
had been built of the shines produced
by the grinding of ores from the num-
erous mines of the district. Straw was
mixed with the slime to make the
adobe bricks.
When 1t became known that the Gen.
trail would have to tear down these
houses an enterprising ore buying
asked for permission to assay
ore taken from the buildings. This
was granted and samples were picked
from the walls at various heights and
on various sides of the buildings, the
assays running In value from IS to
$2i ton In gold and silver. The val
ues averaged about $S gold ton.
AS the buildings were built In vari-
Gus bonanza epochs 1t was found that
the values varied to large extent For
Instance, a wall on one side of house
would assay low value. whereas a
wall on the other side built at an ear
Ter or later time, would assay high
,alue. A mans kitchen might assay
20 cents a ton and his parlor $50.
That the walls are found to contain
more gold than silver values is due 10 |
he fact that the old patio process OF |
reating the ores was more effective |

md the shines left were richer In gold |
han silver. II will be harder to build |
