TON TO CAMP

North, south, east and west of Win
nemucoa is the energy and progress
at work that makes mining count and
which is destined to make Humboldt
the banner mining county of Ne
vada, says the Star.
William Thomas, who is located
in the Kennedy district, is in town
today from those diggings and brings
good news. He states that some 20
men are at work showing and prov
ing the worth of the district.
"The Kennedy district for miner
alization and general distribution OF
values is remarkable evidence OF
the metal worth of Nevada Here
tofore the trouble has been in get
ting a process to treat the large bod
les of refractory ores. To meet this
requirement A. St Roylance is erect
ing a plant with appliances which he
is confident will recover the values
of the ore at low cost. Proving
a success of the Roylance process
means that the great ore deposits
of Kennedy will be worked and give

Mrs. Marian Meadow, who by
reason of her interesting articles
that frequently appear in the
Florida Grower on the subject of
horticultural ofnamentation, is
known to thousands of readers by
the ,pseudonym of "The Ornamen-
tai Lady" and who by reason of
her personal charm and manner
and intellectual brilliance, is
known to many more thousands
as the Ornamental Lady" in fact,
is paying Arcadia an appreciated
visit today.
Mrs. Meadow is quite an enthr
siastic member and worker in the
Florida Horticultural Society. The
next state convention of the Flori-
da Horticultural Society will be
held in Arcadia early in 1916, and
Mrs. Meadow is very anxious that
the DeSoto county meeting shall
be the best ever-and if we listen
to Lady Meadow and heed her
advice, we will show the world
something that it wants to see and
needs to be shown.
We are very grateful to Mrs.
Meadow for the interest she is
taking in our behalf and the
country at large and every Area
dian, we are sure, is appreciative
of her manifested good will to our
city, and it is our sincere desire
that she visit us again soon-and
often.
While in the city Mrs. Meadow
is the delightful guest of Mrs. A.

she will leave this afternoon for
her home in Punta Gorda.-Arca-
