AWAITS AWAKENING

That the mining industry Is of para
mount Importance to the citizens of
White Pin county IL beyond question.
That the county has vast mineral re-
sources as well as fertile agricultural
and excellent grazing lands Is likewise
beyond question.
When the mine are active and men
are employed in all sections the ranch
err and the livestock grower find q
ready market for their product, while
on the other hand. a producing ranch
In an isolated country Is of but little
value to its owner. All these indus
tries are so vital TO the life of a ma
ton 1t Is difficulte to understand why
these great resource in his section
have not attracted far more widespread
attention thar they have.
In this the Hamilton mining district
Is a shining example. Since the thriv-
ing city of Hamilton upon the demon
citation of silver took its position
among the ghost cities of the west
there have been a few of the sturdy
old-timers who never lost their faith
and have since prosecuted their min
ing operations under great difficulties.
While many properties have long since
ceased to be prospects and are devel-
cped mines those who have stood by
them have been able to merely exist
upon the return from the mineral they
have extracted and shipped because of
the fact principally that transporta-
ton charges have eaten up the profits.
Now there Is prospects of oil in the
I1lipah field. This serves to add hope
that some day in the near future Ham,
ilton may see railroad trains steaming
in or the building of an electric road
to connect the rich mineral belt with
the outside world.
Among others who nave great faith

porous silver camp Is Justice of the
Peace-elect, D. C. Mcdonald. who with
his associates. William HARDWOOD and
william Empey. are now operating
the Jenny A. mine, which they recently
took over from John w. Nyce. When
interviewed by a News reporter as to
the Hamilton section Mr.. Mcdonald
said:
IF this mining district was located
anywhere else. n particularly near a
railroad, there would be thousands of
miners employed and many properties
would be operating where now there
are but a few. The operations are now
confined to leasers, we might say who
as a general rule mine only the high
grade deposits neal the surface.
Under the present high truck and
railroad freight charges ore must
carry values of over $50 to leave the
miner any profit; consequently only
the h~igh-grade ores can be handled and
the second grade ores. carrying values
of about $50. are necessarily either
piled on the dumps or left In the
mines.
This ore could be handled at a profit
II cheaper transportation was avail
able. The character of the ores out
side of Treasure hill are principally
silver and lead, carrying a low per-
centage of i~nsoluables and an excess
OF iron. making a very desirable fuxing
ore.

running east and west cut the forms

mountain. These all carry high-grade
ore and have made large replacement
orebodies on the soluble lime beds at
fhallow depths. These assures have
not in a single instance been developed
to any great depth but ave produced
a good tonnage of ore wherever opened
up.
THE district Is not badly faulted.
with the exception of the Treasure hin
fault. which runs north and sonth and
Is the most important. The east and
west assures are regular with only an
occasional slight throw or step fault.
which Is easily followed.
1T Is almost unbelievable that q dis
trict having such mineral showings and
favorable formation should be practi-
cally overlooked by mining investors.
Comparing 1t with the Cottonwoods,
for example. the surface indications
are far more favorable and mining op-
erations can be carried on without in
.terruptions from snowslides or storms
during the entire year.
What this district needs is a rail-
road and development at depth. which
would naturally follow. Hamilton
would then soon return to her former
standing as one OF the greatest mining
districts in the west"

VAST SPRING VALLEY ]
IRRIGATION PROJECT

Ranchers and business men of White
Pine county are promoting a project
for the retaining OF big tracts of land
in Spring valley under the Pittman Act.
This act was passed by congress In
1918 to promote the drilling for ar.
tesian waters on arid lands, with h
provision for q patent grant OF a SUBJ
stantial acreage to the successful pros
pector.
Spring valley has for many years
been considered one OF the finest loca-
lions for subterranean waters In the
county. owing to the great watersheds
on the east and west and the ease by
which water is obtained through the
driving of shallow wells. Artesian
water has already been secured In
Laks Valley which Is just south of
n in reality a continuation OF Spring
valley. The location which will be
prospected Is west and south of Jeff
Davis mountain. which sends its peak
away above timber line and forms a
part Of the great eastern watershed. In
the monster Lehman cave of JEFF Davis
mountain are located lakes of great
depth. whose waters are above the
level of Spring valley n from their
formation. with no inlet or outlet. in
dictate subterranean waters under pres
sure.
The undertaking of boring for water
will necessitate the outlay of consider
able money. as the regulations of the
Pittman act require a practical inc
substantial equipment that will supply
water to at least twenty acres of land
for the continuous cultivation of crops
on a profitable basis. When the fact
Is proven that water exists and has
been developed for practical agricul-
tural purposes the prospector or entry
man Is granted a section OF land. while
the adjoining sections are withdrawn
from entry under the same act and
thrown open to regular homestead
entrys.
The development OF a big flow of
artesian water in this section would
open vast acres of land to the home
steader. with the possibility of develop
ing substantial ranches, as the soil in
the valley Is of a rich quality tina
would produce bumper crops II the
needed water could be supplied.

CHINESE HOLD HILL SACRED
EHuang Shan Created Shrine More
 Than Three Hundred Years Ago, Is Tradition.

More than 300 years ago in the Ming dynasty a Buddhist priest named Pu Men visited the Huang Shan in the South Anhui hills. He was charmed with the place and became infatuated with the idea of making 1t a sacred mountain. journey to Picking and an audience with the royal household resulted In the appropriation of large sums of money for developing this fairyland of the gods. A brass pagoda was prepared for the first temple. It was decorated with 1000 little Bud ~fhas and was called Thousand God pa ,xoda. The temple, whose halls it <lecked, was christencd the Purple sand temple and is now restored a"d called the Merciful Light hall
 At that time, says the North China Herald, hundreds of priests came to fhe mountains, and there was period of Buddhist prosperity. Roads were built to the tops of all the important peaks, and at least one temple was erected far above the line of perennial springs.

BABOON PUT TO USEFUL TASK
As Shepherds, the Animals Are Said to Develop Traits That Are
 Almost Human.

I have often wondered, remarks MT. W. C.

The simian foster parent perfo med every necessary function except feed ing the child.
 Several balloons have been trained as shepherds In a case that MT. Seul- ly himself observed the haboon had charge of several hundred sheep.
