SHEEP HERDER
FINDS RICH ORE

Somewhere in the hills within a
few miles of Thornc, the railway
station from which Lucky Boy ore
is shipped, a discovery of very rich
ore has been made by a shecphcrdcr,
who exhibited a cigar-box full of
specimens to incoming passengers
yesterday on the platform at Thornc.
Parties who saw the rock, which was
literally full Of free gold, declare it
was some Of the richest they ever
saw, but all efforts to learn the To-
cation Of the new find were fruitlcss.
The nearest they could come to the
answer that it was between five and
seven miles from the station of
Thornc. AS the shccphcrdcr did
not take the train, their questioning
ceased when the train pulled ont for

EUCALYPTUS CULTURE
WILL Be AN INDUSTRY

Another thing from which great
results are expected are the cx-
periments being made there i'm cuca-
lyptus culture. The tree, which has
been so successfully grown in Cal
ifornia, is peculiarly adopted to dry
and semi-arid section and for this
reason great hopes are based upon
the attempts to localizc it in Clark
county.
As Mr.. McCrancy says:
Experiments have been made
with both the Australian blue gum
and the New Zealand eucalyptus.
The former has thus far proven the
more satisfactory, but | understand
that there is a variety in Africa
which possesses all the good quail
ties of both the Australian and New
Zealand types, yet is more hardy and
can stand greater cxcsscs of heat
and old.
around Las Vegas the people
are planting a great number of
gum trees and they are growing
well, but the people there make the
mistake of watering the trees too
heavily. They really do not need
any irrigation to speak of or none at
all after the tap root gets down to
moisture. 1t is possible to produce
a grove within ten years, for the
tree grows very rapidly.
"The trees can be topped fire.
quently and the wood used for fuel.
Splendid mining timbcrs can be made
from the eucalyptus, which does
not shrink, waterlog or rot and will
withstand tremendous pressure.
The leaves are also evry valuable for
medical use. The tree is extremely
ornamental and serves to conserve
moisture rs well as act for a wind
break and shelter for cattle"

the plank and tossed the sailors

CsDsciaI to The Herald-Republican)


Logan, Feb. 17.-Added interest in
amateur theatricals is noticeable at the
L. A. C. this season. In the past his
tory of the institution the annual ef-
forts have been limited to a single pro-
dUctiOn. This year, on the contrary
the college is to have at least three
plays, and possibly more. A little over
two weeks ago the High school stu
dents did some creditable work in the
well-knOwn farce, Mr.. Bob the same
play which the University Dramatic
club appeared in with signal success a
number of years ago. The A. c. players
presented this farce three times in Lo-
gan and also gave IT in neighborlng
towns.
The greatest event of the school year
will, however, be the presentation on
March Z, of Clyde Fitch's New YORK
society drama, The Climbers" Eight
cen of the college students have been
hard at work since November In the
effort to interpret perfectly the various
characters of the play. Prof n. "A.
Peterson, who is coaching the company,
is well satisfied with the progress so
far made and confidently predicts an
unusually brilliant success.
The leading parts are In the hands OF
Miss Nan NiHley, Miss Lulu Ormsby,
Miss Helvia Hansen and Messrs. Otte'
Major ana Goodwin. The probability
is that the company will accept the in
vitatiOn Of the University of Utah Dra-

evenings in the college chapel during
the remainder of the year. The Agri-
