NOW ON MENU
AT THE PHANTOM CITY OF PAN
AMINT, ONCE A PROSPEROUS
MINING CAMP OF THE SOUTH
WESTERN DESERT.

Ghosts OF phantom city are
to revive the fame of the once great
camp of Panamint, known for
third OF century only in the mem
ory Of the men who were there and
in later years in Charles f. Van
Loans "Parson of Panamint."
The story goes back, says the San
Bernardino Sun, to the 70's when
Panamint was booming and $40 gold
pieces were as common as nickles.
in those days as each struggling
prospector made his strike he took
his pal, his friend burro, out into the
wide desert and said goodbye. The
men who rode into the camp on
burros rode out In style. Freedom
for the burro left behind was the
custom Of hundreds of those to whom
Panamint was kind. 1t is the law of
the desert miners that their burros
shall work no more when their
dreams come true,
Then Panamint's pay streak be-
gan to pinch out" The lights
began to fade, the bullion wagons
ceased running, the thousands drift
ed on. to Calico and elsewhere, and
Panamint became another ghost city
of the west.
Only the burros lived on In Pan
amint--the burros and those few
who stayed on to dream OF when
"Panamint would come back" A
third Of century has passed, the
original burros of Panamint have
long since passed on to their reward,
but roaming the Panamint noun
tains and the Slate range to the
south are thousands of the burros,
descendants of the animals that
played the first parts In the opening

they are the ghosts of Panamint.
But the wild burros have become
| valuable. New mining camps are
springing up. as the prices of metal
! are soaring. There are men to feed
and fresh meat is unobtainable. The
burro has solved the problem.
| At the EPSON salt works, the new
est industry in the northern part OF
San Bernardino county and 20 miles
| from the old camp Of Panamint, bur
| 70 meat is on the menu.
! According to Deputy Surveyor
Ham there are actually thousands OF
| wild burros roaming the mountains
as fleet and wild as deer.
Ham, M. l.. Cook, deputy roaG
commissioner, and Bob Wells, went
into the region to open up the ole
springs, many of which have gone
dry and become clogged with debris
The new era on the desert has
brought back the demand for the
water holes. They opened the ole
Copper City spring, Granite Wells
Indian Spring and Nelson Spring

tering hole probably cannot b.

in favor for the Canadians, by score
Of 4 to 3. The diamond was soggy and
heavy and far from being in a fit con-
dition for fast ball playing. Through
out the entire contest the locals had the
advantage over the visitors, but the
jinx was on the job and things did
not seem to break right for the War
ren club.
Delbern for Warren threw good ball
considering the condition under which
the game was played and secured ten
strike outs, while Kearns for the Pegs

In the Friday game Wilkus did the

will grow as good a crop of trees as
much of the level land and the trees
will easily produce half-crop. Indeed,
some such land by it's trees has been
more profitable than the land producing
full crops Of other kinds. The returns
from tree crops on land of the kind de-
scribed are Usually comparatively low.
They are, however, produced with very
little trouble, and are certainly much
better than nothing.

possible to make big profits on the farm

WASTE LAND TREES
ADD TO FARM GAINS.

Waste land may be made to produce
at least half crop, except in unusual
cases.
An astonishingly large percentage Of
Minnesota's farm area, even in the old
er and settled parts, is classed as waste
land. In many sections the amount is
as high as Is or 20 per cent. Such land
is incapable Of producing whole crop
like the rest Of the land Of the farm
and is therefore, allowed to remain idle.
Much Of such land is high or rocky,
too steep or too rough to plow, but it
