Lewiston came into possession of a
large piece of land, some time ago,
that looked too poor to be of any use
whatever. Recently he had an in
spiration. He caused holes to be
dug that he might know what there
was under the surface. In one sec
ton he found white sand, just the
thing for plastering purposes. In
another section there was fine gravel
suitable for concrete work. The sand
has already brought him in $4,000, and
the deposit is big enough to last for

in color and was at one time OF the
hues of the rainbow. From 20 minutes
to half an hour the object was seen
and then it appeared to rise and make
toward the South.
