| mineral, pinch OF which
Is worth a kings ransom.

are watching with deep iutcrest ex.
periments now under way, and II the
tests are successful the wealth OF vir-
glnia win dwarf into msIgniflcance the
riches OF the Kiondlke or the Nevada

For some time past chemists and

10 account for the varying Temporal
lures of the mineral springs In tho
Warm Springs valley OF Virginia,
Although fed by the same underground
river. the healing waters appear at
various parts of the valley at tempera-
lures that range from Sc degrees at

can tsream first breaks cover" TO t06
degrees at Hot Springs, noted as q

theory was held that the variance was /
due to the waters passing over beds

believed that radlum is the real cause
for the strange inequality In tempera-
lures, and the remarkable healing
qualities OF the water are pointed TO

idea.
