SUNSET ROCK HIKES
 BECOMING POPULAR
RumorS of Ore Findings Encour. age Walking in That Direction

What is the attraction of the slope to the east of Sunset Rock road, why do so many people. principally men, seemingly on pleasure bent travel over the hillside on Seemly Sunday after moons? A still. no you have not guessed il. There is none there. It is rather the result of a crop of rumorS that have been sown and have hlos- sorned into the light of more or less promiScuous knowledge very recently. Shh--we'l let you in on what they say is the secret. Somebody has dscov- cred mine-yep--don't know what kind of a mine. but mine it is. so the rumors go.
 The story goes that certain individ- ual, Dame Rumor does not give his name, some time ago went to walk on tho range of hills between Shuttle Meadow and the Whne Oak district and Icappcared with an odd looking mineral. Again. tis said. o(was willing to show his specimen for a time until he was prevailed upon to send it away for analysis and lately preserves the silence of the proverbial clam when asked what he found. Whereupon and forth with the suspicious of friends were aroused and they took to excursions on the mountanside themselves. If any of them found anything nothing has been said and, as the story grows the number of searchers increases.
 There is an old mine in the Burling- ton district from which iron was ex- tracted and made into nails many years ago, Beyond that there is little expec- tation of finding mineral deposits here abouts. However, the man in question may have found something, we have nothing to prove the opposite. On the other hand he may be attempting q joke on his friends and doing his best 10 encourage walking in the woods as a form of exercise. So far we have contentcd ourselves with wondering how many will look for the stuff and what they will find. The lure of mine has not pulled us from our love of ease and comfort when taking the fresh air.
 The Meriden Morning Record in today's issue has the following to say about minerals in the same range of mountains:
 The discovery" of platinum in the hills near Hubbard park was told of by Professor l.. w. Bahney, formerly of Sheffield Scientific school, and now with the Scovill Manufac- turing company. in addressing meeting Of the Waterbury branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers on tho subject of Metal lurgical Fakes
 He said there was a Meriden baker of German origin, the most enthUs- iastic person ever, who knew little about ch emistrS. but who: used to love to fool with chemicals. He be- came dead certain there was plat mum in the hills around IIubbauI park, as by taking n section of rock and pouring various chemicals on it he got n substance which he was certain was platinum. Professor Bah ney exhibited hunk of the local bakers "Platinum." He said he felt sorrys for his Meriden friend but he could not convince him that he was wasting his time and money.
