GOLD EXCITEMENT IN THE
MOUNTAINS NEAR FARMlr'Cr0N


Pennington. n. NJ nov. 2l.-For
the first time IN years this eoction
~ enjoying q real gold excitement
A number Of local people have left
for the Corrisro mountains % miles
west Of Fafrmlnpton. 10 locate min
|eral claims under the new law that
allows prospecline on unallolted In
dian lands, where u Il reported rich
ores have been discovered.
Last Summer a party Of Utah men
spent several weeks prospecting ~
the Carriso country. and discovered
some very promising locations. They
returned November I when, under
the new law they we're allowed 10
make mineral claims and one Of the
party visited Pennington this week.
The excitement has reached a hieh
pitch among mining enthusiasts IN
this section and Pennington has
been the QUILTING center for several
prospecting parties. who are Wild
with enthusiasm.
About ten years ago q man named
Trip was In Pennington for several
months, banning gold from the san
Juan river. He made good wages but
wanted 10 install expensive machin-
cry 10 save the gold on a larger scale.
but failing ~ get enough Interested
he gave mp the venture after SPEND
ing much money.
About thirty years ago there was
n placer gold excitement nt Bloom
field which stirred things NJ for a
time.
There are many legends exlant
about famous lost gold mines In the
Carriso mountains. and while on a
trip several years ago a reporter
spoke. with the aid Of an interpre-
ter. 10 one OF the Navaios who was
taken captive by Kit Carson In the
big clean up in The early days. This
Indian told Of the lost mine, the To-
cation Of which he claimed some In-
dams still know. Several early pros
pcctors discovered the veins. which
were said 20 be fnbulOuely rich. 9th
crs were interested with them and
returned 10 work them ines. The
Indians did not want the white men
There, 50 they killed three Of the
party, the others escaping aud feared
Ia return. The Indian spoke OF sew
eral other white men being killed
while trying Ia flnd the gold mine.
The new law that allows the taking
mp Of claims ON unallottcd Indian
lands may be the means Of rediscov-
ering their rich ores that many be-
love 10 be contained In the Carriso
mountains.

KICKIN' OUR BILL AROUN'.

The United States senate recently
passed an oil land leasing bill.
The house then considered it and
passed it, with changes.
These changes were not acceptable
to the senate.
Therefore, the bill is yet in "con-
ference" to reconcile it to the whims
of all parties.
This is the way it goes. For ten
years western oil resources have been
used as a political football First one
politician used them as a Kickoff to
get votes and then another. Every
session we are told a leasing bill will
pass and every session it is blocked
at just the right time.
Now, after it passes both houses,
the hitch. comes.
When will western people wake up
and demand a square deal and action
Until they do they can expect to DC

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

An old adage proclaims that if we

stefan, fill ourselves with fresh air
drugs and physic. it will get well in
two weeks; if we let it run it's course
it declares, we will get well in a
fortnight. And because cold-in-the-
head often is slow to respond to treat
ment. we are prone to believe in the
old saw and attempt to save the doc
tors fee. Thereupon pneumonia and
tuberculosis. the big brothers of cold
in-the Head, laugh in glee.
Many a mickle makes a muckle
Big oaks from little acorns grow.
Take care of the pennies and the
dollars will take care of themselves
and you. To every old proverb that
bids us to be careless there are q
hundred that warn us to be careful
For, in experience, carefulness out
pays carelessness hundredfold.

MINING NDUsTRY'S TAX.

These figures will tell, in language
Ineligible to all. the true value of
the mining Industry to the nation, and
particularly to the west. where metal
mining is one of the greatest employ
ers of labor And yet this industry is
allowed to languish in uncertainty
while politicians argue over the inter
probation of. complicated laws.
What these fellows cannot under
stand from point of vantage in a
swivel chair, is that q mine is a vast
ing asset and that it wastes in direct
proportion to the amount of ore re-
moved. They argue that mine pay
ing so much this year, should be good
for the same amount next year. and
possibly more the year following. Any
sane man knows this to be a mistaken
view, and a mine should not be COM
pared to a manufacturing proposition,
or a railway, as it is only a question Of
time until a mine has exhausted itself.
while manufacturing and railway bu-
siness can be built larger and larger
