ANOTHER NATIONAL
STRIKE IS REPORTED

A telephone message from Nation
al this morning states that a big
high grade strike was made yester-
day in the Hines-Baldwin lease now
owned by the White Rock Leasing
company.
According to the message the
strike is the most important in the
history of National since the days of
the Stall brothers lease.
The ore shoot broken into is six
this is a tellurium ore, worth from
$50 to $40 a pound. 1t is different
in character from the famous Ma
tional high grade, which is an cleo
trum ore.
The strike was made in a raise six
ty feet above the drift level and at
a depth from the surface of about
600 feet. The message stated that
the high grade shoot was getting
larger as work progressed and it was
expected that about $4,000 worth
of the marvelously rich ore would
pc taken out To-Day.
1t is said that the ledge for four
feet in width, not including the tel
lurium streak, will run $4,000 per
ton.
The White Rock Leasing company
was recently incorporated. taking
over the Hines-Baldwin lease. D. R.
Dwyer owns a controlling interest in
the lease, his associates being Tom
Baldwin, one of the original owners
of the lease; Dan McCloud and N. P.
r. Hatch.
The lease is on the White Rock
claim. owned by j. L. Workman. 1t
is being operated through what is
known as the Wheeler tunnel, which
has been driven into Charleston hill
over 1000 feet. The vein on which
the high-grade strike has been made
was cut by the Wheeler tunnel about
500 feet from the portal. No atten-
ton was paid to it at the time. but
the tunnel was pushed on into the
hill and nothing of consequence was
ever found.
Some time ago Hines and Baldwin
obtained a lease in which the vein
above mentioned was cut. A drift
was run on this ledge for about $50
feet, small pieces of high grade be-
ing found occasionally. A fault was
encountered and recently the raise
was started which led the lucky
owners to one of the largest and
richest shoots aver found in the
high-grade camp.
The White Rock group of claims
were among the original locations of
j. L. Workman, the discoverer of
National. The property belongs to
the West Virginia National Mining
company, Mr.. and Mrs. Workman be-
ing the owners of practically all of
the stock.-Humboldt Star.

OPERATOR
IS OPTIMISTIC
DESCRIBES BUSINESS CONDI.
TONS AS HE FOUND THEM
IN EAST

Walter E. Pratt, secretary of the
Nancy Donaldson Mining company
and one of the regents of the Uni
versity of Nevada, who recently re-
turned to his home in Goldfield after
an extended visit to the east, in re-
plying to questions as to financial
and business conditions there, said:
1T is difficult for me to give you
a reply. In the first place my bust
ness experience of late has not been
such as to keep me in touch with
what has been going on, and in the
second place l was east on univer.
sity business, and this required most
Iof my time. But whenever the op-
portunity offered 1 inquired about
business conditions.
81 think there IS no doubt but
what conditions in general are un-
settled, but there seems to be no in
dication of any serious business de-
preston. There is, however, a lack
of speculative interest and it affects
the railroad and industrial stocke
equally with the mining stocks. The
present lull is, of course, charged
against the administration, and one
can hear criticisms of President Will
son, but it is a very great mistake
for anyone to suppose that he lacks
support from the people, both within
and without his party.
Whatever little depression there
may be now is certain to fade away
before the seasons great crops. For
mer administrations have taken cred
it for prosperity that has come from
natures munificence, and nobody
need be surprised if the democratic
party now gets some credit for the
very excellent outlook. All over the
country it is the same story; big
wheat crops from California to the
northwest, an unusual cotton crop,
a big acreage of corn in the Missis-
weather. In Ohio the clover hay and
rye crops are much above normal.
Only in New York does there seem
to be any exception to the general
promise, and there the bean and fruit
crops have beer injured by frost.
"The reports of a depression in
business are by no means unanimous.
I had considerable conversation with
a gentleman from Philadelphia, and
he being an orthodox Quaker, we
talked for a time on the Trinity,
justification by faith and kindred
topics and then switched to politics
and business. This man, who con.
cealed his identity under the name of
Smith. told me that business in
Philadelphia was good, with the pos
sible exception of some quietness in
the textiles.
There is little activity anywhere
in mining stocks, and for the pres
ent there seems to be nothing to in
dictate any unusual interest in them.
A certain crowd of spectators has
been busy for a number of years
switching investors from mines to
the industrials, but with the return
ing fieXibility of money and bust
ness there should be a better feeling
toward the mining business. In a
few local instances, there is already
such a feeling. In Chicago, l met
people who said they had been sue
~cessful in securing money for the de-
velopment of a Nevada property. 1t
seems now that this business is at a
low ebb, but that the future may
bring more activity"

MINERAL RESOURCES
OF ST.LOU|S DISTRICT

The geology and mineral resourc-
es of st. Louis and vicinity are de-
scribed in Bulletin 43S, a report by
N. M. Fenneman, published by the
United States geological survey.
This report covers the cities OF St.
Louis and East ST. Louis and ada
cent portions of Missouri and Illinois.
When the world was relatively
young and when the primal ocean
covered the greater portion OF the
land area, the region where st. Louis
now stands was, as sketched by the
author. changed from and to sea
and from sea to land, these transfor-
nations covering long periods OF
geologic time, too great to be esti-
mated in a or centuries. During
several of these geologic periods the
slopes of the Ozarks were submerg-
ed almost continuously, and, as
shown in the present rock record
nearly 5000 feet of sediment,
than three-fourths Of which is repre-
sented today by limestone. slowly &C
cumulated in the St. Louis area.
The upland in this region is every
where covered with loess to a depth
of ten to fifty feet, this material be-
ing found in larger quantities n the
valleys. Loess is an unconsolldated
substance somewhat resembling yell
low clay, but of a mealy nature, so
that when not quite dry 1t is readily
pulverized in the hand, passing into
a fine flour instead of forming
crumbs, balls or hard Jumps as clay
does. The presence of loess on the
hills is due to high winds in this re-
gion. and the greater thickness or
this deposit near the large streams
indicate that their agency was prl-
mary in transporting this fine silt
from the uplands. Along the river
front of st. Louis the loess caps the
bluffs to a thickness of fifty feet or
more. Its thickness decreases with
increasing distance from the great
rivers, being but ten or twenty feet
thick at a distance of a mile from
the rivers. The loess was doubtless
brought down as mud suspended in
the river. the floods spreading it over
the broad plalnS anu ieaVlhe IL "
dry in the intervals between floods
and to be carried by the prevailing
western winds tothe uplands on the
east bluff of the river.
Within the city limits of st. Louis
are situated the deposits of the IA
nous Cheltenham fire clay. The
choicest of this clay is sold for glass
house use. From his study of the st.
Louis area, Prof. Fenneman believes
that the Cheltenham fire clay may
be found at many places where no
prospecting has yet been done A red
brick of good grade is made from
the loess which covers the uplands of
the entire area described. Other re-
sources are limestone, cement ma
t~erials, glassmakers', builders and
molders' sand, cement gravel, some
oil and gas, and. in the Illinois part
of the area, coal.
The report is illustrated by pho
t~ographs and diagrams and a geo.
logical map of the area. A copy may
be obtained without cost by applying

yey at Washington, d. G.

A TdANlSGIyING
 DAY "SERM0N"

FAT Y friend Thanksgiving day H 'omes. by statute once year. To the honest man it
 comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow, which may mean every day, or once in seven days. at least.
 Now, l propose. my friends, to state few of the things for d., tO be thank ful for when we are in the mood. of course. for when we are not inclined who can make Us give thanks for any. thing? We should be thankful that we know more than anybody else. for are We not canab,c of talking and piv. ing lectures upon every subject ever talked of?
 We should be thankful that we are all good looking. .\int we? Just look around this audience and see if you can spot the person who Is. in his own estimation, not good looking. It would be curious study. to be sure. to find in what particular some people are good looking, but it's none of our personal business if a man has carroty al split pear mouth like pair of waffle irons. chin like Il Dutch churn. neck like a gunder'S and a body like q crow. bar. Comparatively he is good looking that is, there are homelier men and animals than he-so everybody iS good looking and has right to put on airs.
 We should be thankful that we are more pious than any one else. That we are pious is evident from the man. ner ill which we treat poor creatures who have most unfortunately been driven to sin; from the fact that we pay our preachers occasionally and al- ways require them to be uneXception able in all respect; from the fact that we don't work OF Sunday and eat the big dinners which it has made the women folks almost tired to death to prepare. Who is the person in this room who is not piouS? I do not care to know him for the present.
 We should be thankful that this world was especially created for our own comfort, convenience and use; that we have perfect right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, no matter if these do conflict with some other persons wishes and happi- ness and rights.
 horc you will thank me for this recognition of your good qualities, your rights, your glory and trust. l shall be permitted to say of myself when l re- tire:

 The trustees of Monson academy, through their attorney, Charles H. Barrows, filed a petition in the su- perior court in Springfield last Satur- day, asking that they be permitted to administer fund of $1O,O0O so that it's income, which under the terms of gift can only go to students who intend to enter the ministry, may also be used for any other indigent and worthy students. In October, 1919, a committee was chosen to devise plan for raising funds for the education of indigent pious young men for the Christian ministry. This committee reported year later and on the strength of their findings an other committee was chosen which raised fund of $1O, 900 by subscrip- tion. For some time there have been very few or no students at the acad- emy who intend to take up preaching as profession, and the trustees were advised that they could not, under the existing terms of the gift, use the money to aid any others. The trustees believe, however, that the givers intended to benefit the institution and advance the best interests of the con- munity, so they ask the power to turn the funds towards helping worthy students fitting for other vacations, or in other words, along lines with the broad general purposes of the givers. The trustees do not know the names of many of the descendants of the donors, but permission to use the income of the $1O, 900 for brouder purposes will undoubtedly be granted.

 It's not words but deeds that prove true merit.
 The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills, For Stafford Springs sufferers,
 Have made their local reputation.
 Proof lies in the testimony of Staf- ford Springs people.
 Mrs. M. G. Converse, E. Main St. {, Stafford Springs, says: For long time I suffered from backache and had about despaired of ever getting relief. To my surprise and delight, Doan's Kidney Pills acted effectively as soon as began taking them and soon made me feel like a different person. Another of our family suf- fered for a long time from kidney trouble This complaint caused loss of rest. Nothing brought relief until Doan's Kidney Pills were procured at the Eaton Drug Store.
