by King Phidon, all the known
countries having silver mines ulti-
mately came under Roman tribute
and dominion. Spain and Germany
were among the richest in the metal.
The silver mines of Saxony were
discovered about 1925. The mines in
the Hartz forest were discovered
in the 18th century by a hunter
whose horse, paving the ground be-
meath a tree to which he was fasten-
ed, exposed the metal below These
mines have produced as much as
100000 ounces yearly at different
times, but are now exhausted.
Where Silver Is Found
The principal silver producing
countries are United States, Mexico,
Canada and Australia.
Mexico normally is the richest
and has been known for centuries
as the silver country, and for many
years was the leader in it's produc-
ton but is now passed by the U. S.
Mexico silver mines are situated at
attitudes usually of five to seven
thousand feet where climatic condl-
lions are ideal. A Mexican named
Medina discovered the method OF
treating silver known as the "cold
amalgam" process.
Gold is found in the rich silver
veins. but Mexico is primarily a

ADVISES COUNTIESTOLEVY
FULL AMOUNT FOR SCHOOLS
Attorney General Says Five Gents
Per Pupil Day Should
Be Provided
Court Case Filed
But Little Chance Is Seen For
Change In Former High
Court Ruling

OLYMPIA, October 8 - Attor-
ney General G.. w. Hamilton today
advised counties to levy the five
cents day for schools, pending
outcome of Pierce county appeal
in state supreme court.
He said the law prevented county
commissioners from postpening their
budget hearings scheduled for to-
day until the school case was de-
cided.
The attorney general in a letter
to A. w. Swanson, Snohomish col1n-
ty prosecutor, declared there was
not much chance of the supreme
court reversing or modifying its
former decision that the five cent
levy was mandatory"
The appeal from a Pierce county
superior court decision holding 1t not
mandatory for counties to contrib
ute five cents day per pupil was
filed today in supreme court. It
will be argued October II.
Hamilton recommended commits
Sioners levy the amount and modify
their budgets later in case the SUI
preme court should change it's for
mer ruling on the Vancouver school
suit holding the levy mandatory.
A year ago the supreme court
reached decision which definitely
required counties to provide the five
cents per pupil day attendance for
the schools, as provided by law. The
ruling was made in a suit brought
by Clark county schools seeking
their full legal fund, and friendly
brief was filed with the high court
by group of OkanOgan county
school districts who had previously
brought mandamus proceedings
against county commissioners to
force provision for the fund In the
county budget. figured at the legal
per-pIpfl- day rate.

Odd Hybrid Snake
Halls Judge Bro,un
BY Striking At Car

n Believed to be a hybrid species
a snake possessing characteristics
of both the harmless bull snake and
the poisonous rattlesnake, was cap
tured near Okanogan Friday by
Judge William c. Brown of Okano-
gan.
The snake was caught by Judge
Brown near the Okanogan rodeo
grounds. It attracted his attention
by striking viciously at his car, con-
trary to the habits of the bull snake
which it resembled. He was sur
prised that the snake, about IA inch
es in length, also "whirred" it's tail
although it did not have rattleS,
Has Rattlers Fangs
Closer study has revealed that the
snake is equipped with the deadly
fangs of the rattlesnake. It's mark
.ings, dark bands on a tan back
ground, resemble the bull snake and
It's long, slender body also indicates
that one of it's forebears was a bull
snake. ~
Giving ground for the theory that
the snake is a hybrid, Judge Brown
has learned that recent bulletin
issued by the Bureau Of Biological
Survey contained warming against
hybrid bull snakes and rattlerS, ex-
planning that several of them had
been found in localities inhabited
by snakes of both species. The
hybrids are marked like the harm
less bull snake, the bulletin explain
ed, but possess the deadly venom of
the rattlers.
