A New Years Greeting
from the
.AAas Aan hHf +-ae-
Hyde Park Savings Bank

The Hyde Park Savings Bank
extends to it's many friends and
Customers the seasonabIe greetings
A Merry Christmas, A Happy New
Year and Prosperous 1915 to all.
The Hyde Park Bank begins the
year 1915 with larger deposits, larger
assets and larger surplus than at the
beginning of any year in its history.
Its assets have reached very close TO
the Three Million Dollar mark, being
$2,85o,e94.2o. Its deposits have FL
most reached the Two and Three
Fourths Million Dollar mark, being
$2,655, 1926, or. counting the stock
have almost reached the TWO Hun
dred Thousand Dollar mark, being
S192, 104.56, or, countin gthe stock
holders liability $4,000, the bank has
a margin for the protection of deposit
tors OF S242, 1o4.56.
The officials Of the Bank state I'M
qualitiedly that according to the best
obtsinabie information It does not
hold single dollar of poor assets and
yet before any depositor could lose a
dollar the Bank would have to make
losses of $242, 1o4.56. Safety rather
than high rates of interest always
has been and always will be the
guiding principal of the bank.
Since the beginning of the Europ.
can war it has had abundant oppor-
tunity to make loans at high rates Of
interest. II has in no case taken any
paper drawing more than per cent
nor have its doors ever been closed
to the APPLICATION of any Vermont
borrower who had paper within the
law.
II costs something to carry cash
balances so large that every Vermont
interest can be Immediately taken
care of, but the managers Of the Hyde
Park Bank have always believed that
if it took care of Vermont, Vermonters
would take care of the Bank and they
have done SO with generosity that
has made the Hyde Park Bank the
largest Bank in the world in place
Of it's size. fact which reflects credit
not only upon Hyde Park and La
noble County, but upon Vermont as
we'll. Hm uQI
This Bank pays interest at the
rate of q per cent and compounds
semi-annually without action on the
part of the depositor. It pays all taxes
whatever may be the size of the de
post and more than Five Million Dol
lars have been received and sent out
| by mail by this bank during the pas
| five years without the loss of single
| penny. It is now perfectly safe L
send money either by express, per
sonaI or bank check, registered Iette
or postal or express money order.
Any information touching the BanI
will be promptly given by addressin!

labor was crowned, they believe. with success.
That il is without doubt the long lost rich
mine they have every confidence. The type of
mining in their discovery is that used by the
Spaniards about hundred years ago in Arizona
and "old" Mexico. II is mined on an incline with
steps and side stopes-many of these extending
twenty to thirty feet on each side of the fissure
which is from two to two and one-half feet
wide. The fissure is perfect, running crossways
of the formation, from southeast to northwest.
The workings can be traced by the "caveins" for
more than a thousand feet, while indications
point to its being fully a mile long and possibly
much longer.
That the mine Just discovered has been worked
extensively is proven by the amount Of timber
used and the immense dump of waste. which
most anyone would have taken for slide from
the mountains-it is estimated to contain more
than thirty thousand cubic yards. Besides this,
all the timbers found so far are completely rot
ted nothing but stain marking their location.
Two hewed slabs, or planks, used for running
wheelbarrows on, have been dug up, an old wheel
barrow frame, wheel missing, and several badly
decomposed timbers have been recovered. That
It has been many, many years since any work
has been done about the mine is proven by the
second growth timber and shrubs that are grow
ing on the dumping ground and the "caveins" Of
the mine. Some of the oak bushes are from sew
en- to eight inches in diameter and the willows
that are growing on the material taken from the
mine are old trees.
These prospectors worked upon the theory
that most. If not all, the prospecting that had
been done in the Henrys had been at too high an
altitude The finding of this mine has indicated
they reasoned correctly. The "Old Mexican"
mine. as they have named IL, Is situated about
two miles west and about twenty-five hundred
! feet below the top of Mt. Pennel about ten miles
south of the line between Garfield and Wayne
counties. in almost the geographical center Of
the Imperial mining district Of which j. w
Heitch Is chairman, T.. T. Wolverton. vice chair
man and secretary. and +. f. Marshall of Hanks
vile district recorder. Cameron and Gates are
busy doing exploration work and will build a
suitable house TO live in before winter. The lode
has not been reached. so no ore has been tested
except some float that proved very rich and
of a free milling variety
The immediate future for the Henrys is very
bright. About fifteen additional miners have
been put 10 work at Camp Crescent, or North
Wash, at placer mining. The'hills are filling az
with prospectors and several fine prospects have
been located recently. A good substantial boon
seems 90 be coming on.
Marshall, as recorder NJ the district, invites
any who desire further information abou' it L
write 10 him.

LONG LOST JOSEPHINE Mine
NOW SUPPOSED TO BE FOUND

EVANSVILLE, Sept. 25-Every state in the
union mas lts hidden treasures lost rnines otc
Otan mas many but il was left 60 the Imperiai
mining district OF Grafield county to demon
strate that they are not all myths. MANY old
prospectors know of the legend that Other c.
eral Powell or General Fremont ON one of tbo;r
exploration expeditions down Grand CANYON and
the Colorado river came across the bleacbed
bones of pack animal-mule or burro-besids
which, on trail leading from the Henry Noun
tains to Dandy Crossing, now Hite. two small
piles OF gold ore were found These were re-
sacSed-two hundred pounds-and sent to
Washington ID. c., where it was discovered that
the ore was rich in gold, analysis showing its
value to be about twenty thousand dollars n ton
1t is said that the government still has the ore in
store.
Some years later, probably thirty years ago. n
Mexican came into this vicinity in quest of rich
mine that he claimed his father was interested
In many years before. His story was about like
this:
He claimed that his father and a number of
Mexican-Spaniards, when he was a small boy.
used to come north from "old" Mexico every
spring, returning in the early winter laden with
gold dust said TO have been mined in the Henry
Mountains. The last time that they made the
trip north, none ever returned and nothing was
ever heard Of any one of the whole number
about fifty in ALL
Putting this story together with the legend
that Powell, or Frem ont, had found the remains
of dead pack animal that evidently had been
killed in battle while carrying it's load and know
ing that the trail led from the Henrys to Hite.
everyone interested came TO the conclusion that
there must be a rich mine in the Henrys: that
these Mexican-Spaniards had found IL and had
operated il for many years. Also the conclusion
arrived at by most of our prospectors was that
these miners had been surprised and killed by
warning Indians who infested this locality at the
time-the whole party being annhilated Such
incidents were not uncommon in those days.
! Since the visit of the Mexican man about
40 years od-thirty odd years ago, many thous.
and dollars have been spent and many prospec
tors have for years and years tried TO find the
lost Josephine. The Mexican said that was the
name his father called the mine. II was STYLED
\ the "0ld Mexican" mine by many. No trace of Il
was ever discovered till August 4, 1915. when Il
