WHITING NEWS
Many Pleasant Parties.

Saturday was the most sane Hal
lowe'en witnessed in whiting for
many years. and few tricks are noted.
OF course, boys and girls. as well
beans, several gates were detached and
mysteriously carried away. noisy tick
tacks" were operated on window panes,
but the general behavior OF the usual
Halloween disturber was quite praise
worthy.
About ten extra policemen in ad-
dition to the usual force were on spe-
cial watch to guard against damage
by the Halloween merrymakers.
One affair that approached a. serious
nature was the breaking of Sol Recht
plate glass window. The person who
committed the depredations is not
known, but the excitement was great
when an employee of Recht's store
chased several small children who hap
pened to be in the vicinity and catch
ing one. little girl he handled her very
roughly.

Gimme, and 1t is used in fine paints.
The present market Is supplied by
a syndicate which brings the raw ma
terial from England and sells it from
$40 to $40 a ton. 1t is claimed for
the Campeche product that it is SUI
perior to the English; that it is free
from limestone, high in calcium car
Donate and low in iron. The analysis
given by chemists has caused some of
the largest paint houses in the United
States to look into the Campeche bed.
A company with headquarters in
Mobile, Alabama, has been organized
to exploit the deposit, which is said
to be 1900 yards long by 450 yards
wide, with a depth of two yards. Elk
perts say that there are at least H.
100000 tons of whiting in the de-
post. After a careful calculation oil

has decided that it can put its pro

market in the country, at much be

expense of some thirty miles of haul

When work begins on the great
tunnel next spring it will be begun
in earnest, and a giant hole will be
dug through Mother Earth faster
than It has ever been done before,
because there is being built a mann

company, who hold the contract for
building the great hole through the
Sierra.

pleted they will be mechanically filled
and tamped with giant powder and
automatically fired, the drilling ma.

of harms way. The method of FIRMS
is that some few holes in the center
are first exploded, throwing out =;

up until the outer rim is reached. Al

To Exploit the
Meteor Crater

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 5.-Meteor
crater, in southern Arizona, a great
natural curiosity, will soon be ex-
plotted by the Santa Fe passenger de-
partment as the world wonder of it's
kind, and transcontinetal travellers
will be permitted to stop at Sunshine
station to make a side trip to the big
sink, six miles from the railroad.
Something like 5000 years ago
the exact date is not known, but it
was comparatively recent from the
standpoint of geologists-a meteor
struck the earth at that point. and is
now supposed to be imbedded far
down in the ground. 1t left a crater
which is 1000 feet across and 500
feet deep, and around the rim rocks
and debris are piled up to a height
of 100 to 156 feet above the level of
the plain.
For a time some scientists held
that the crater is of volcanic origin.
but this theory has now been aban-
doned because no lava or other vol
canic matter can be found there,
while tons of meteoric iron are scat
tered over the plains for miles
around. The meteor itself is esti-
mated to have been about 500 feet in
diameter. The Standard Iron com
pany of Philadelphia has obtained
title to the land and has drilled q
thousand feet in the bottom of the
crater, but thus far has not e%ncount
cred the solid body of the meteor.

An Old Camp
Makes a Strike

BATTLE MOUNTAIN, Nov. 5.-A

inches in width that is literally alive
with the precious metal. Nearly $500
