eral millions.
The mais hatch is bass, the most
difficult fish to propagate, but with
which Indiana has been notably
successful. The swaning season is

STATE STARTS
RESTORING OF
PIONEER TOWN
Spring Mill Village to Be
Center of Interest in
Park at Mitchell.

Perhaps no project of the state
park department ever has developed
more interest and enthusiasm than
the new state park at Mitchell
When this property was taken over
last year the department believed
1t had come ir-o control of LOO
acres of virgin timber land spotted
with number of large and interest
ing caves.
Upon further investigation this
proved to be true to a most graft
flying extent, but far more thrilling
was the discovery of the historica
significance of the Spring Mill vii
lage that once nestled in a secluded
hollow in the heart of the area The
name Spring Mill has been adopted
for the park.
Surrounding the large stone mill
"a tllree-story structure still stand
ing) were found the foundations of
numerous buildings that once con-
stituted a typical pioneer settle
nent- of the early nineteenth cen
turv<
Historical research revealed tnat
the village was founded about 1916
by Cuthbert and Thomas Bullitt,
relatives Of George Washington, who
built the mill, two fine colonial resi-
dences, a schoolhouse. a nursery and
other small structures.
Village Being Restored
The mill was operated by water
carried overhead in a hume from
stream emerging from cave in the
side of a hill. Other subterranean
streams and springs empty into the
mill hollow and ripple through the
long forgotten village.
1t will be the aim of the depart
ment, to restore the village in its
entirety. Already work in restoring
the old mill is nearing completion
Great timberS have been cut to re-
placesthose that had rottted and the
walls have been strengthened and
pointed up. One of the original log
cabins that once was the mill Office
has been restored and the original
postofflce has been identified and
saved.
Roads leading down into the hol-
low have been repaired and made
passable for motor vehicle traffic
and preparations are going forward
toward development of trails lead
ing to the various scenic caves and
the location of camping areas.
County Is Assisting
Lawrence county citizens are Co
operating in this development. BY
bond Tissue the county procured the
funds for purchase of a major part
of the land and now is proceeding
with road developments which will
leave the park free of public high
ways.
That part of the park which in
cludes the mill village was given to
the state by the Lehigh Portland
Cement Company, which has given
every assistance in the park devel-
Opment.

has been used by the county as a
courthouse until a new one could
be constructed. The legislature gave
it into the control of the depart
ment of conservation, which will

whereupon it will become a museum
of great significance and interest.
