TREASURES OF THE
SAGEBRUSH STATE

In q recent issue Of the Los Angeles
Mining Review appeared an article on
Nevada by James w. Abbott Of Phoebe
that is worthy of reproduction and per.
usal. The latter part of the article is
as follows:
I'm attempting to forecast the future
of Nevada the prime factor of progress
10 the railroads. The Southern Pacific
runs east and west through the State.
Like the busy bee, that company
"gathers honey all the day from every
open flower" The more flowers the
more honey. The policy Of the South
ern Pacific in developing new business
IL quite generally understood. Their
diagonal line through the State to
Southern California is nearly finished
1.-THE Western Pacific has just been
opened. 1t is the last work in sagacious
business foresight and engineering SCI
ence that applies to railroad location and
construction. II is the Jim Hill method
with latest improvements. The four
cardinal principles are: First. grade
second. local traffic; third, mileage (;
fourth, permanance. 1t was conceived
and brought forth in the brains Of rail-
road men. 1t even crosses the Sierras
without obsession Of the snowshed and
the snowdrift. Those interested in
mushrooms will delight to see its traffic
grow.
"This road also cuts the State from
east to west. 1t will also operate over
a composite diagonal, already financed,
through Ely aud Goldfeld to Los
Angeles. The State is dotted with old
camps returned to life aud new ones in
the making. Recently a leaser in one of
these ooh out 81. 900, 900 worth of gold
ore in seven days. Ever since the
panic of 1907 more new finds of pheno-
menal magnitude have been made in
Nevada than in the rest of the United
States.
Ely. the old-young copper camp. is
already challenging Butte and Bing-
ham and Bisbee for the championship.
Before the Couer d'Alene mines were
ope1 ned two Nevada camps produced
as much lead as Missouri, Illinois
and Iowa combined. Only develop.
ment is needed to make Nevada
first in zinc. Zinc and lead GO
together. Millions upon millions of
acres, fertile as the valley of the Nile,
await mans enterprise to start them in-
10 life with water. The undeveloped
re gions Of the West are contracting
rapidly. Nevada offers allurements IN
surpassed. The Southern Pacific and
Western Pacific are in charge of past
masters in advertising. They under
stand the importance of local develop
mept to their traffic and they will moi
leave Nevada under a bushel."

Heard Strange Sounds.

D'Iberville kept journal while at
anchor in the Pascagoula, and in one
entry he says, that at night he heard
a mysterious sound coming up out of
the waters of the river and bay that
sounded like some one was stunning
a guitar, or like the murmur of many
voices. On inquiring of the aborigines,
they told him that it was the voices
OF the dead of the Pascagoulas, who
a great many moons before had
sought death in the waters of the
river to escape from their foes, the
Alabamians.
This mysterious sound has long
since become celebrated as "The
Mysterious Music of Pascagoula," and
has formed the subject of innumera-
BILE poems, good, bad and Indifferent.
Scientists tell us that this music is
made by a fish of that Umbrina
(drum) type, but the "oldest inhabi-
tant" boots at this idea, and wants to
know what did Darwin and G.
Browne Goode" know about the fish
of the Pascagoula;" and then he adj
vances a theory of his own, but as
there are as many theories as there
are inhabitants, it is useless to at
tempt to discuss them.
After leaving the waters of the Pas
cagoula D'Iberville sailed along the
coast until he came to the Bay of
Biloxi, where he established his first
settlement, leaving it in charge of
his brother Sauvelle. So far as we
are able to learn, there was no set
Element made at Pascagoula until
1717, when French engineer, Co
lionel DUPONT, came to Pascagoula and
assembled the river until he came to
a lake now known as Krebs lake,
where he built his fort of adobe.

liquid Cures ECZEMA
WHERE SALVES FAIL

In regard to skin diseases, medical
authorities are now agreed on this:
Don't imprison the disease germs
in your skin by the use of greasy
salves, and thus encourage them to
multiply. A true cure of all ecze-
matous diseases can be brought about
only by using the healing agents in
the form Of liquid.
WASH THE GERMS OUT.
A simple wash: A compound Of
Oil of Wintergreen, Thymol, and 9TH
er ingredients as combined in the D..
D. D. Prescriptions. This penetrates
to the disease germs and destroys
them, then sothes and heals the skin
as nothing else has ever done.
A rs cent trial bottle will start the
cure, and give you instant relief.-THE

& Sons, Proprietors.

A Strange Shell Mound.

This fort is builded on an Indian
shell mound that rises some fifteen
feet above the level of the lake. This
shell mound is composed of an i'm
mense mass of shells that the Indians
threw away after eating the contents.
One digging down into these shell
mounds or heaps frequently comes
across a human skeleton, bones of
animals and fish, pipes and pieces of
Indian pottery. The strangest thing
about these heaps is that while they
are composed of clam shells, clans
are not found in the waters of Pasca-
goula bay, or river. Though oysters
are abundant. oyster shells are
found in these heaps, but it is al
ways near the top, and as you go
down the oyster shells disappear and
only clam shells are found.
Colonel DUPONT, having builded his
fort, began to trade with the Indians,
returning to France some years after
wards, leaving his colony in charge of
his son-in-law, Augustin Krebs. Near
the fort, and within a stones throw
of it, Col. DUPONT established a GENE
terry for the members of his garrison,
which yet remains intact, and is the
private burying grounds of the de-
scendants of the two families of Du-
Point and Krebs, though at times they
have permitted strangers to be buried
there, but since the establishment of
two public cemeteries here that priv
ilege has been withdrawn. The GENE
terry contains about half an acre OF
ground and stands on a shell mound
overlooking Krebs Lake. It is re-
garded as one of the show places of
this city. From it's northern gate
one can obtain a fine view of Krebs
Lake and the Pascagoula river, which
flows near by.

Davis, Secretary of the Natchez Com
mercial Club is chairman, will meet
in short time and formulate its plans,
and when these have been worked
out an act will be drafted to exempt
money loaned on farms or industries
from taxation. Failing to get this,
the committee will urge the exemp-
ton of all money loaned at per
cent. This latter question came be-
fore the last legislature, but was de-
feated, but will come up again.
The association decided to hold
quarterly meetings, and these will be
in cities and towns where the COM
mercial secretary is a member of the
association. This is done to create
interest in the work of the organiza-
ton, and efforts will be made to or
ganize in every municipality in the
state.
The secretaries are to push a cam
paign Of progress in the state. They
will advocate any measure or any
plan that means publicity and devel-
opment.

In spinning the top, care should be

UNIQUE RELICS
At PASCAGOULA
Interesting Story Of Discovery Of Pas
cagoula River by D'ibervilIe.-
Historic Graveyard.

Pascagoula, Miss Nov. 2.-In the
month of July, 1899, LIE Moyne DIber-
vile, who was cruising along the
shores of the Gulf of Mexico, hunting
for the mouth of the Mississippi river,
entered the broad estuary of the Pas
cagoula river, thinking it was the OBJ
ject of his long search. We say "the
river" for it must be borne in mind
when the French explorer came to
this place there was no such things
as the East and West Pascagoula
rivers" and the broad marsh islands
that now separates these two rivers
and is known as Lowery's island, had
no existence, and was not found on
any map made prior to 1922.
So that Lower island, or the Delat
Of the Pascagoula, must have been
formed some time after the visit of
DIberville.
The explorer assembled the river
and on coming to anchor and going
ashore found only two natives-a man
and a woman-who told him that
they belonged to the tribe of the Pas
cagoulas, who had assembled the river
on a hunting expedition.
Now as to the name Pascagoula,
