dropped by some freak of nature in
the prairie lands of Illinois. 1t is a
beautiful variance from the mOnOtOn-
Gus level plains that at most other
points mark the Illinois soil. Some
glacial freak ages ago is supposed to
have brought about the strange forma-
ton, creating a valley 100 feet lower
than the level of Lake Michigan and
forming palisades along the Illinois
river that have great scenic attrac-
tiveness. The rock rises abruptly from
the water to a height of 157 feet, and
from all sides presents a bold and
rugged appearance.
About the year 1870 a series Of
melancholy incidents occurred in the
territory of the IIlini tribe of Indians,
the memories of which gave to the
rock its name. It's beauty is unchang-
ed from that which marked it when it
was first seen by white men, Mar
quette and Joliet, the famous French
explorers, in 1878 Here is found in
miniature, the wonder work of water
and stone. There are hidden, rocky
walled inlets decorated with ferns and
lichens, with some lone cedar or pine,
standing lofty on an inaccessible,
rocky ledge.
Marquette and Joliet landed oppo-
site the rock on the plain upon which
the great Indian village of the Illini
was situated In 1851, La Sale, who
was given the right to trade with the
Indians by Louis XIV, erected fort
upon the rock, calling it Fort st.
Louis. This fort was later destroyed.
The final tragedy, which gave the
rock its name was caused by the muir

mie chief, by one of the Illini.

In the revolution the fort was torn

STARVED ROCK DOOMED.
Famous Pile on the illinois River
Slowly Disintegrating.

Utica, Ill.-Starved Rock, consider

Illinois river, which flows at its base
and which is gradually wearing the
sandstone that forms the compost

The report that this rock is in dan

taste, and it is cooked a second time
in a moderately heated oven. When
dry and thick it is of the right con-
sistency to be rolled out on a Toured
board, and shaped with the tin cut
ter The waters are placed on plates,
and when thoroughly dry are wrapped
in oiled paper. They will keep indefi-
nitely, and besides being delicious for

added make homemade pumpkin pie

George E. Gum Finds the Big
Cumberland Ely Drifts 300
Feet in Rich Ore

"Its the same old Veteran" said
George E. Gum last evening after an
inspection of the famous Cumberland
Ely mine at Kimberley. "Only,' he
added, "it's more SO. The drifts have
been extended and are in ore 100 feet
one way and 200 feet the other. "
Mr.. Gum, as general manager of the
Cumberland Ely, developed the Vet
eran mine and he believes it will be
great producer. He is now engaged in
similar work for the Mason Valley
Company at Yerington, where, he re-
o rts, mine much like the Veteran is
being opened up.
After leaving the Veteran Mr.. Gum
visited the Cumberland Ely mines at
Lane City. The work done there since
his last visit pleased him very much.
The churn drill, he said, has proved a
valuable aid in tracing the ore bodies,
which have been largely extended.

Reid has introduced the expected mining
bill. 1t will permit any private person
to enter upon lands now privately held

location will then belong to the locator.
OF course this applies to the Central

also fixes mileage at fifteen cents a
mile, actually travelled.
Freshmen at the State University
