"A VALUABLE SHELL

- W hoSL L. ~ - L. IL Il
Perhaps the most beautiful
OF all shells is that of the aba
lone found on the Pacific coast
OF North America. Cleaning
with the iridescence of the
rainbow. this lovely shell is
polished as an ornament or
manufactured into many kinds
OF novelties and jewelry.
in the commercial fisheries
tor abalones. crews are en-
ployed. A crew consists of a
diver and his six assistants.
When over the right fishing
ground the diver dons his div
ing suit. the helmet is screwed
upon the brass collar, the hea-
Wy lead breast and back
weights adjusted, and the air
pump manned. One man takes
the divers signal rope, anoth-
sr the hose from the air pump
and the diver with a net at.
tached to a rope and his chisel
in hand. climbs down the short
ladder and drops through the
water to the bottom. If he
finds the abalone plentiful,
work is continued in depths of
from 20 to IS feet, in 4-hour
shifts.
The diver secures a net full
OF abalones, gives the signal
and the mollusks are hoisted
aboard and slowed away. In
gathering abalone, sometimes
the divers work witout diving
suits up to a depth of 20 feet,
and some of them remain un-
der water as long as two min
utes. These expert swimmers
protect their eyes with glasses
and their ears with cotton. 1t
takes the united efforts of six
men to equal the catch of one
diver in a suit.
The abalone belongs to a
family of marine snails, and
has a well-developed head and
= powerful adhesive creeping
foot. AS food the abalone is
one of the best of marine mol
lusks. Detached from the
shell the viseral mass and
mantel fringes are trimmed
OF from the large central
muscle, which is then cut trans
verely into slices and fried as
small steaks. Besides supply
ing the local market, the mol
lusks may be shipped across

ETHIOPIAN HISTORY
REVEALED

The history of the ancient
kingdom of Ethiopia, to which
reference is made in the Bible,
has been completed in outline
from $50 B. c. to $40 A. d.
through excavations in tombs
and pyramids in the Anglo
Egyptian Soudan by the Har-
vard-Boston expedition head
ed by Prof. G. A. Reisner. The
Ethiopians, he declares, were
not African negroes, but a
dark-colored race in which
many individuals showed an
admixture of black blood.
They attained a high degree
of civilization and showed
their independence of Egyp-
tian culture by inventing a
script of their own.

MONUMENTAL COMPANY
EXTENDING EXPLORATIONS
Company Adds Diamond Drill to
Rigs already in the Field to Hasten
Development Of Holdings

Monumental Oil Co.. accompanied
by E. B. limerick, geologist, reach
ed Monticello from their properties
Saturday. and Mr.. limerick contin-
ued his trip out to the railroad,
while Mr.. Clark staid in town to
meet the drilling crew Of the dia-
mond drill the company has put in
the field, and to see there was no
delay in transporting them to the
field.
Monday four truck loads of the
drilling equipment accompanied by
Louis Swanson, superintendent, and
another crew. passed through Ell
route to Bluff, where the machinery
was transferred from trucks to wa
gons.
The diamond drill will be set up
on the ground Of the company four
locations west of the hole where
they are now drilling with Colum-
bia rig. The work is being done
under contract by the Longyear Ex-
ploration Co. Of Minneapolis, Mimi.
Talking with Supt. Peterson who
has charge Of the work, it was
learned that the company had
shipped this drill in in a rush, but
that larger drill is now being plac-
ed on board the cars to replace this
one in case it was not of sufficient
capacity to reach the depth needed
to reach the oil sands. The drill
which has gone in will only pene-
trate 1000 feet, and should it not
reach the oil sands, the other one
will continue the hole. while this
one will be set up on another loca-
ton. 1t is understood that the con.
tract with the drilling company is
that they shall 60 until the oil sands
are tapped.
Mr.. Clark stated that the CON-
pany had now fishing job on its
hands in the hole they have been
driving, and had been delayed in
continuing the hole on account OF
lack Of proper fishing tools. AS soon
as these arrive on the ground this
hole will be driven on down to the
oil, which is thought to be very
close according to the log of the
we'll. San Juan Record, Monticello.
w. H. French went to Durango Sum-
day and tells an interesting story of how
the gravel surfaced road this side of
Durango has been standing up under
the heavy traffic during the winter and
came through hard and smooth and in
fine shape. 1t is a wonderful reassur-
ance to know that we can build roads
out of local material that will stand
the ravages of our winter climate and
carry such heavy traffice as coalhauling.
1t is assurance that we can build per-
manent roads in this country that will
be good for the heaviest load all the
year round. Now we can build with
confidence.-Mancos Times Tribune.

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 23.-Before
a throng that filled the gallery Of the
Georgia house Of representatives,
Senator Oscar w. Underwood, Ala
bama's candidate for the Democratic
Presidential nomination. today nayed
the Republican Administrator for
what he termed its ''do-nOthing pol
ICY. He spoke before joint ses-
sion Df the Georgia legislature.
Underwood took q firm stand on
European policies and expressed
himself as being strongly In favor Of
participation in. foreign affairs. but
stated that this could. and should
be done without the employment Of
an army.
BIaInes Do-Nothing Policy.
We are now witnessing the great
est movement in all history of
diplomacy developing into autocracy
over all Europe including England
and France, without a word of pro-
test from our own Government" he
said. II do not criticize the Gov
eminent because it did not take the
policy OF our party, but do censure
1t for doing nothing; for withdraw
ing its diplomatic connection; for
not sending at least one representa-
tive to the reparations conference .
In speaking of employing force,
Underwood declared lit is not
necessary for this Government to
enter g. war to use its power In
steadying crippled Europe. Not since
Benjamin Franklin represented this
country in Europe have we main.
tailed a set policy there" he said.
I'VE should help in that manner
now while 1t is suffering from it's
