Allures us to the enchanted grove
To hear the wood-nymphs talk of love.
And shows US the wild flowers in the

Who have their story of love to tell /;
The brooklet too, and the leaves above
All tell the same story. God is love- "

It was but a few years ago that
the newspapers over the country
were filled with predictions of what
the American Society of Equity was
going to do the towns and cities of

to buy all their goods through the
catalog houses and the towns were to
wither away and die. Happily, all
that has failed to come 70 pass

with more or less alarm the organi-
zing of the Equity in Mitchell coun-

greater percentage of business is 60

some of us may have been surprised,

sending away for merchandise that
could be procured from the local
dealers. After all, these farmers COM

They are wise enough to know that
their prosperity depends very largely
upon having a prosperous town at

knows that his prosperity depends
upon the prosperity of the farmers

organized for bigger principles. And,

The Simon District.

a new discovery has been made
at tie Simon Silver Lead mine as
the work done at the suggestion of
Dr. Walter Harvey Weed, which
has opened an important orebody
that apparently is independent of
the main workings. At point 900
feet southeast of the main shaft
along rhyolite-lime contact
trenehiag has diselosd a mineral
lzed zone p feet wide. \ shaft
started here, at a depth OF six feet
exposed four feet OF rich lead car
Donate ore carrying good values i'll
silver and less than one per cent
zine.
Another important development
in the mine is recorded on the 500
foot level, where the cross cut from
the Shaft, which was stopped after
running through IT feet Of ore, has
beea advanced through the intru-
sion of rhyolite that at first was be-
lieved to be the hanging wall of
the ore body. The rhyolite was
found To be mineralized, and back
of the rhyolite the cross cut entered
high grade ore, as was the case at
the 400 foot level. This same
shoot OF sulphide ore was found OH
on the 70.foot tunnel level; and ii
believed .hat it extends to that
level and perhaps to the surface.
The ore back of the rhyolite is
far richer than the ore between the
intrusion and the foot wall, carry
ing higher values in both lead and
zinc and more silver.
