shallow depth, and explains that

Unfair accusations have been mace that the sudden popularity Of the

discovery resulting from the same source. Those circulating this sour

they are disappointed in love and naturally disgrunted.
A letter from J. w. Davis dated Dec. IS. 1904, and published in the
La Porte. Ind, Daily Herald, shows that the Valley citizens, and those
strangers. the original tourists, who arrived here, were impressed with
