VAST RICHES IN OLD MINES
Wealth Awaits Lucky Prospeetor
Who Can Find One, Though Many
Arc Known to Exist.

We are all familiar with Sir Rider
Haggard's "King Solomon's Mines"
nor was he by any means the first to
put forward the theory, though In q
romance, that many old and but half
worked mines might yet await the
patient toll Of the searcher. Except
in cases where there had been long
continued use, 1t Ia not At all improb-
able that there are ancient mines
ready to reward the intelligent
methods Of today. But now in Idaho,
we are told, "the lost gold mine Of
the Upper Salmon river district has
been rediscovered. A rich ledge had
been found by two prospectors and
worked by them little; then they fell
out and a Spokane policeman, who had
the secret from one Of them, sought
the mine for 20 years; then he fell
out, and now 1t has been found anew,
to enrich the finders, for the ledge
proper is said to he from four to six
feet wide with q rich quartz streak
that shows the gold shining In : its
grasp. The gold has always been
there and somebody for many years
has believed it to be there; it only
needed to be found to aci another

IDAHO WHEAT CROP
Loss Of Acreage Shown By
May Report.

Boise, Idaho. Idaho lost 10 per
cent OF the 337, 900 acres of winter
wheat sown last fall. There is left
3o3, 900 acres for harvest, with a
growing condition OF 90 per cent of
normal, forecasting production of
7,24S, 900 bushels. According to
Julius H. jacobson of the Idaho
crop reporting service at Boise,
this heavy loss of acreage is due to
drouth and late seeding last fall,
preventing necessary development
before wintet set in. A year ago
only 2 per cent was winter killed;
IN 1918, 4 percent, and in the bad
winter OF IoI6-1oI7, 10 per cent of
the seeded area was winter killed.
The present condition is 10 pr
cent below last year and 4 per cent
below the Io-year May condition.
The prospective crop OF 7, 248, oco
bushels is little more than
million bushels in excess of the
1919 crop, the final estimate OF
which was 6,Io5, 900 bushels.
In northern counties there wss
considerably more acreage than
usual reseeded, the average for the
nine counties being I6 per cent, as
against 2 per cent last year, while
the condition up there May was
only 81 per cent of normal, COM
pared with Io1 per cent year ago
and the acreage to be harvested
about 90 per cent of the usual
acreage.

influence Of Good Books.

When you find a child who loves
good books, the noxious weeds Of
envy, hatred, jealousy and malice are
not so likely to grow in his mind and
choke out the exquisite blossoms Of
love, tenderness, unselhshness, graft
tude and the desire to do unto others
as he would be done by. The love Of
good books is one foundation for good
character, observes writer In the
OklahOman. 1t Is the exception, not
the rule, to encounter sordidness, greed
or insensibility in the man or woman
who knows and loves good books. Rob
