Deposits

Alfred t. Godbe of Bullionville,
has made a strike of a new sub
stance near Bullionville, known
as Infusorial Earth. He states
that there is an immense deposit
of this substance with a good
marketable value.
1t is used as an adulteration
with asbestos in making cover
ing for pipes, ETC., and is very
scarce in the United States. All
that is used at the present time
being imported from Germany,
and has a marketable value of
$40 per ton. Mr.. Godbe states
that the product can be mined
from his properties in any guam
ity desired, marketed and bring
a good profit to the operators for
the sum of 500 per ton.
Besides its use as an adulter-
alton with asbestos, it is used
with different kinds of soap con-
tanning great cleansing propen-
sites. This discovery is very
likely to create another immense
industry in Lincoln county and
further establishes the fact that
the range and extent of her min
erals are unlimited.
Mr.. Godbe expects to leave for
Los Angeles in a few days for
the purpose of shipping the
product to that city.

We are at loss to understand

ton from Milford. Nothing
like having cinch, and know
ing how to work it. 1t may be
well to work it, for it will soon
be bursted by the advent of the

We have heard numerous ru-
mors of different parties intend
ing to start a bank at Phoebe
but up to the present no move
ment has been made in that di-
rection. This occurs to us as
being the best opening in a BUSH
ness way this section has to of
fer. Why not someone get
started? 1t looks as though one
is waiting for the other to
make the break. We believe
that the ground floor is always
the best, and in this particular
line of business there is certainly
a grand opening on it.

says he has learned In his rounds

field before the foxtail ripens enables
feeders to feed 1t without damage and
that cutting a second or third time
keeps it from ripening; that doing
this for two years will kill 1t out
provided people do not haul In manure
containing foxtail bedding which
would scatter 1t again.
