FALLON, New, Sept. 1-One thou
sand acres of chemically pure salt
has been found few miles from
Fallon, on the Lincoln highway, it is
reported here.
The salt, assaying 99has pure, is
produced by natural artesian wells,
which shoot solution of more than
fifty per cent pure salt into the air.
The salt deposit is owned by a
resident of this city. Notwithstand-
ing its purity and ease of mining,
the property has never been worked

the failure of the church to insist

for not insisting that His Kingdom

trusted to the church for the saliva

The church will never win for
