RICH STRIKE IN THE LA pLATAs

E ~ Beach of La Plata City, who
has a $4,000 bond and lease on the
Yellow Eye group of mining claims in
the La PIatas, has just made big
strike of ore. so rich that it sounds
like fairy tale, and ii is the bes
ever known to be found in the La
Flatas.
Mr.. Beach, who leased the property
few months ago from its owner, Mrs
NJ. Saterlee now in California, opened
up new place in the ore vein, about
sixty feet from the last working. He
encountered the same quality of ore
the ore body being about three feet
wide At this particular spot the ore
contained a two-inch streak of pure
sylyanite, averaging from $50 to SIS
per pound.
There Is reason to believe that the
strike continues along the chute for
sixty feet. At any rate small quan.
tity of ore so rich may well satisfy
the owner. One sack of ore worth So
OOU per sack is worth having. and one
ton OF the same is not to be sneezeG
AZ. when we remember that it is worth
100000 per ton, at a conservative
estimate
What's the matter with the La
Platas? BY the way Arthur Lakes. the
geologist, who first told us the min
eral was there, is in town. 1t appears
that Prof Lakes knew what he was
talking about.

"The congress maintained that the

Southern irrigationists told how
they pumped water from wells fifteen

irrigated rice fields which yielded The

Prof. Timayenis declares the rul-

principally fear of adverse public

to state: THE life of John D.
Rockefeller is a constant fear. He
fears to have his family question

sound of his own footsteps; fears the
water he drinks is not pure; fears
his business deals are not honest
in fact, know from experience that
no man who has long been associated

held at San Diego in 1915. Mr.
Monroe is in Spokane taking leave
of old friends and settling up some
business affairs.
The offer of the San Diego posi-
ton comes somewhat as a surprise
to Mr.. Monroe, but is due to the
reputation he has made as pub
LEFTY manager oh the Pacific Coast
He is enthusiastic over the outlook
The San Diego exposition will be
held in 1915. 1t is not a rival OF
the proposed national exposition, to
be held either at San Francisco OF
New Orleans. The Panama eXposi.
ton idea was originated by ID. {
Collier, who is at the head of the
San Diego exposition. However, il
was realized that probably the af-
fair would be somewhat too large for
San Diego to handle, so now they
are boosting for San Francisco.
The San Diego show will be large
ly along the line of city develop
ment. The city has large unim-
proved park. and number of public
spirited men conceived the idea OF
improving this park, as we'll as Civ
ing the city boost. The park is
to be made a second Golden Gate
park. The men behind the PROPOSE
ton are D. G.. Collier, J. D. Spreck-
els, u. S. Grant, A. G. Spalding, and
others II is planned to make i'm
provements that will be permanent
The originators have put to ST.
100000 to be used for the eXposi-
ton, and the city of San Diego will
put up like amount.
