 Roads are Bad

The road from Newark to the Sanders farm is not in the best ot condition and the heavy traffic that will result from the working the mine 'Wlll require a much better road than the present one. On either side of this road are fields that look as if t n e re needed to be min eral beneath the surface, be- cause they look as if very lit- tie could be produced on top.
 Newark is the logical ship ping point and headquarters for the mining field, and the town should not let the op- portunity slip by to improve this road leading to that com munity.
 There are knockers to ev- cry new project started whether it has merit or not, and this mining proposition IS coming in for it's share. There are people who believe that there is absolutely noth- ing to this project, and they are honest in their opinion, and like many of us in this section, they are ignorant of the real value of this mineral being found, and lots of them hate to believe that any good thing so profitable as a gold mine could be found in this community.
 The Journal is like a lot of the rest-We don't knoW-but we hope that the promoters of this proposition have a find that will put Indepen- denee county in the front ranks of the world in gold and platinum mining and clean up a few million dollars for the people of this vicinity.
 The assays made show a valuation of from $61.00 to S135.00 per ton in gold, silver and platinum, and the assays were made by some of the most reliable assayists in the entire country.

Sanders is Optimistic

". c. Sanders on whose farm the first work will be done is very optimistic re- garding the outcome of the mine, and has used his every effort to further the work of prospecting and organization of the company and has talk en an active interest in help ing every geologist who has visited the field to get a com plete report. Mr. Sanders has thirty acres leased to the company that is starting work and he has other land in his home place which is not leas- ed. When the mining fields are a working reality it can be said that MT. Sanders was one of the pioneers in this field and one of the biggest boosters for the product of the mines.

Was Bed of Ocean

Most geologists who have visited the field are of the be- lief that this community was once the bed of an ocean, and many petrified curiosities have been found while pros pecting on the Sanders farm. Sharks teeth, small fish and turtles turned to stone have been found, and some of these are in possession of the chil- dren at the Sanders resi- dnnca
