 START MILLING
Black Hills District Property to Begin Work on $20 Gold Ore in Immediate Future; Cyanide Plant Going Up
(From Fridays Daily)


 Milling of custom ores from the Verde Inspiration claims in the Black Hills mining district is to start ill the near future, it was stated yester- day by Ed Meek, president of the Verde Inspiration company. The In- spiration plant for some time has been milling custom ores taken from adjoining properties.
 Or completion Of the cyanide plant, which has been delivered on the grcrnd, and is now under pro cess of erection, work on Inspira- ton ores will start, for the produc tion of gold values.
 MT. Meek has been joined by Wal ter w. Linesba, of San Jose, Calif., and John F. Reiners, of Fresno, as directors. A group of California men who recently visited the Inspira- ton properties, pronounced them to have in their view, the most substan- tial-iooking lodges and the best ap- pearance of 'being a mine," of any other in the district, except the large copper properties. The Verde In spiration group has gold, silver and copper values. There are nine claims in the group. Over 2,5OO feet of sink ing and drifting has been accomplish ed, and the shafts and tunnels, Meek said yesterday, ate still in ore. The mill will start on $2O ore, of which enough is blocked out to keep it run ming for several months, he said.

BERTHOLD FARMER VIC
TIM OF HOLD.UP

Berthold, Oct. 27-Albert Austin, a
farmer who lives alone about half
way between Berthold and Plaza,
was held up and robbed between sun
down and dark q few days ago. Three
men knocked at the door while Mr..
Austin was eating his supper. When
he went out to answer the call, the
men inquired about directions and
complained Of the weather being very
cold. Mr.. Austin invited them into
the house to warm. As soon as they
entered the house one Of them drew a
revolver and commanded the farmer
to put his hands up and back up q
gainst the wall. The other two look
ed for his money, finding and taking
$500 and his revolver, which were
in small box near his bed, and then
left. .

Air as applied to plant roots is an
essential element for their growth
Obviously, air cannot penetrate be-
tween the soil particles, if this space
is filled with water. The downward
flow of water and increased number of
root holes creates larger volume of
spaces between the soil particles,
thereby permitting greater circula-
ton of air to plant roots and further
promoting the plant growth and pre-
venting souring of the soil.

it is believed (l' that the district does
