After a few hours the sodium sulphate had again set hard and the piles .were held in place as if set in a solid bed of concrete. This discovery was a very fortunate one and enabled us to complete the erection of the resort in time for the informal opening at the beginning of June. And more important than this the presence of the sodium sulphate gave us a foundation which will prolong the life of the resort indefinitely. The preservative qualities of the salt water moreover, prevents deterioration of the lumber piles and adds years more to the life of the resort. Other difficulties were experienced but these were minor compared with SALTAIR CELEBRATION. 0 Saltair will celebrate its thirtieth birthday July 4, 1923, with what promises to be one of the biggest days in the history of the resort. Flans are being laid for a program which will keep the pleasure seekers who are present on this occasipn busy with surprises and amusement features from morning till night. Entertainment is promised for all ages and tastes. The formal program will be patriotic in nature with special music suitable .for the occasion and public addresses by some of Utahs distinguished citizens. It is not unlikely that one or both of Utahs United States senators will be present. Arrangements are being made to honor as special guests of the day state officials and others who took part in the ceremonials at the formal opening of Saltair thirty years those already described and the resort was opened informally on June 1, 1893. On July 24th of the same year, exactly 30 years ago next month, the resort was formally opened to the public with a mammoth crowd ago. Other features of the program will include daylight fireworks, flight fireworks with sham battle on the water, free gifts and prizes to all children who are present, and dancing in the evening to special music. R. A. Kletting, the architect of Saltair, in an interview with this paper, gave out some very interesting data on the experiences encountered in building Saltair thirty years ago. He said in part: The Saltair pavilion is supported with 3,000 huge pillars, each between and thirty feet long. These twenty-fivare set in a solid bed of sodium sulphate approximately ten feet deep below the sand. The first difficulty encountered in the erection of the resort was in finding a way to drive the piles through this hard stratum of sodium sulphate. The work of construction began in January, 1893, at the beginning of the approach to the resort. In February of the same year work was begun driving the piles for the pavilion proper. During the first two weeks of this driving several crews working like Trojans succeeded in driving only 19 piles, and most of this had to be replaced because they were so badly battered. This difficulty is explained by the hardness of the stratum through which they had to be driven. About this time someone suggested that back on the Missouri river steam was sometimes used to force a passage through certain kinds of strata. This method was then tried and proved very of steam the successful. With the aid sodium sulphate crystals were quick HONOR OUR FLAG. e c to-b- e -- Rules governing the proper use of our flag, issued by the Service Star Legion of this city: First The flag, whenever possible, should be on staff, or flag pole.

It has, however, produced nearly $2,000,000 worth of gold. It continued to produce steadily during the period of high war prices, when most of the other gold camps of the country suspended operations, and for several years it has produced more gold from gold ores than any other camp in Nevada. The camp is supplied with electric power and light over a line from Thousand Springs, Idaho, on the Snake river. The district is in northeastern Nevada, in Elko county, near the Idaho state line, in the rugged and scenic Jarbidge mountains, which here culminate at an elevation of 11,000 feet and form a part of the high divide between the Great Basin on the south and Snake river valley on the north. The nearest railway station is Rogerson, Idaho, 50 miles to the northeast. r The gold is. found in veins that are contained in rhyolite, an acidic volcanic rock of middle Tertiary age, which is here the country rock and occurs in great extent and thickness. Many of the veins are extensive and some are productive .to depths of nearly 1,000 feet. The district was recently visited by a geologist of the Department of the Interior, Frank C. Schrader, whose report has just been published as the Geological Surveys Bulletin 741. The report gives an account of the mining developments in the district, describing the mines, prospects, ore deposits, rocks, geography, mining activities, and living conditions, and attempts to forecast its future. It is illustrated by maps, geologic sections, sections of mines, and photographic plates showing the forms of surface relief, the rock structure and weathering, and the microscopic structure of the ores, including the mode occurrence of gold and silver. It includes also a note on the neighboring Charleston district. 73-mi- le LAGOON RESORT.

Federal prohibition agents raided the DeKalb County (Mo.) court house and jail here recently, arrested Sheriff Frank Smith, found a gallon and a half of corn whisky, and took into their own custody the only prisoner in the Jail, Clarence Leard, who was at liberty on the streets. Informed by deputy sheriffs that the only prisoner was up town and had the keys in his possession, the prohibition agent started a search. He found Leard in the town square and took him back to the Jail, where he was served with a federal warrant charging him with selling whisky in the pail and on the streets of Mays-villFrom a news item in The San Antonio (Texas) Light. e. TROUT RECLUSE. The fish commissioner of Nevada says that the big dam in the Carson river has created a natural lake for the trout where he expects them to grow to an enormous size and tho dam will soon prove to be a mecca for trout fishermen. He also calls attention that some of the power and industrial companies have failed to provide fish ladders at the various dams, contrary to the provisions of the law, and ho proposes to remedy these evils in the near future. j |
