Advertising rates on application ♦ MINES AND MINING Whoever applied the misnomer, alluding to this section as being simply a “pocket mining section,’’ did not know much about mines or mining. It is true that hundreds of rich pockets have been found in the hills and creeks of the district, but when the question is asked, “where did it come from,’’ no one seems to have an intelligent answer. Any sensible person can reason out the fact that all this gold had to come from some source up in the mountains, for the Illinois valley is filled with gold, all over it. One can dig a cellar most any place and pan the dirt and get a few colors, but all of this gold had to originally come from some huge deposit of ore which is still in the mountains, some place. The application of “pockets” has had a tremen dous bad effect on the development of the mines in this section, because capital does not like to risk its resources on “pockets,” as a consequence many of the good mining engineers have given the district a wide birth, because it has been known as a "pocket” country. Nothing could be further from the truth, because as we have stated, the original source of all this gold had to come from some place where there are quartz and where a huge ledge of it is waiting for someone to find it, and it is still waiting. However that may be, some of our local prospect ors have recently uncovered ledges that speak vol- umns and in the near future, do not be surprised to learn that the “Mother Lode” has been found and hen the whole camp will be known the world over. Some new mills of the latest type will soon mala heir appearance in the valley and when they start look out. Then the real development will be under way, and the “pockets” will take a back seat for the real thing. It’s coming, you can’t stop it, and those who get on the band wagon now, are the ones who will profit most. ----------------- o----------------- Some /'i til'll are ro fond of ill lurk that they run half way to no < t it —Jerrold. ---- ---------- O----------------- MAKING PROGRESS "Nothing succeeds like success," so we are told, and this aptly applies to the Illinois valley which is coming into its own in a big way. One of the grandest spots on the universe, this valley, the richest valley in the world, is now becom ing known all over the Pacific coast and many new settlers are looking this way. As an agricultural section, the valley may have more potential possibil ities than appear apparent, but as a mining section, this district has no superior and few equals, "believe it or not." If one is looking for a garden spot to build a home and retire and live happily the rest of their life, the Illinois valley presents opportunities few places can boast of. On all sides of the valley springs gush forth sparkling clear water, so much of it that it literally goes to waste. In these streams miners have taken out millions upon millions of gold, and there is still millions left for the crafty prospector who knows his stuff, but in the valley proper, are homesites, hun dreds of them, waiting for someone to come and with ingenuity and a desire to build a home, one can ac quire a piece of property that would make a wonder ful hmm*, and this can be done in any section of the valley. In the last five years many new coiners have set tled in the valley and in the next five years its pop ulation will be doubled and trebled, because the val ley has "I I and has it to spare.

DEFORE I started out here, feel- ing somewhat jumpy after wrestling a radio program for six months, Jimmy Swinnerton, the art ist, who's one of the most devoted friends these high mesas ever had. advised me to try stretching out on the desert sands as a measure for health and complete relaxation and a general toning up. "Just lie down perfectly flat," he said. Then he took another look at my figure. "Anyway, lie down," he said. So today I tried it. Another friend, John Kirk, the famous Indian trad er, helped me pick out a suitable spot on the Navajo reservation that was forty miles from the nearest habitation. But the site I chose was already pre-empted by a scorpion with a fretful stinger and an irritable dis position that seemed to resent be ing crowded. So I got right up again. In fact. I got up so swiftly that Kirk said it was impossible to follow the movement with the hu man eye. It was like magic, he said. Speed Crazed Drivers. XITHY the hurry, Sonny Boy? V V i see you almost daily. You’re roaring through populous streets or skidding on hairpin turns or whirl ing at sixty perilous miles an hour around the kinked and snaky twists of mountain roads like some de moniac bug racing along the spine of a coiled rattler. Il I am one to say. you probably have primed yourself for this sense less speeding on that most danger ous of all mixed tipples—the fear some combination of alcohol and gasoline. Or perhaps, like the blind mule of the folklore tale, you just naturally don’t care a dern. One thing is plain: Despite the high per centage of mortality your breed is on the increase. So, again, echoing the question which the coroner must frequently ask at the inquest, why the hurry. Sonny Boy? It can’t be that anybody wants you back at the place where you’ve been or that anybe iy else will be glad to see you at the place where you’re going. Really now, Sonny Boy, what is all the hurry about? Civilization’s Predicament. I 1 EEL it my duty to call atten- * tion to the following warning, re cently published: "The earth is degenerating in these latter days. . . bribery and corruption abound. . . the children no longer obey their parents. . . it is evident that the end of the world is approaching!” However, it should be added that this prediction is not, as might be assumed from its familiar ring, the utterance of some inspired ob serve! ol the present moment. It is a translation from an Assyrian tablet, (fated 2800 B C. So, if the fulfillment of the doleful prophecy has been delayed for 4,- 737 years it seems reasonable to assume that it may be some months yet before civilization flies all to pieces. • • • Back Again !

By his own admission, nearly all stutterers can sing and most of them can swear fluently, thus providing superior emotional outlets in two directions. One of the smartest criminal lawyers I know deliberately cultivated a natural impediment in his speech. In court room debates it gave him more time to think up either Irvin S. Cobb the right questions or to figure out the right answers. And one of the most charming voices I ever heard belonged to a Louisiana girl whose soft southern accents were fascinatingly inter rupted at intervals by a sudden stammer—like unexpected ripples in a gently flowing brook. • • • -¿joe Waning States' Rights.
