As the years erew, that background expanded and more and more the name of Grantland Rice lo6dmed as .a particularly bright star in the firmament of sports writers. Grantland Rice was born in Murfreesboro, Tenn.; November 1, 1880. He attended schools in Nashville. After graduating from. Vanderbilt university, he went to work for the Nashville News, and has since been with some of the largest newspapers in the country. At various times he has been connected with the Atlanta .

When an ore body is mined, it is gone and there is no second crop. Not so with the Mercur district as the accompanying new and striking aerial photograph shows. This photo was taken in September 1939 of the camp, which five years ago was a ghost town. Its huge dumps, miles of tunnels and a few remaining building walls were mute evidence of the days gone by. when the district was a humming mining community, supporting approximately 2500 persons. Today Mercur is well along the comeback trail and: more than 1000 men are finding steady employment Courtesy Western Air Express. These plants were built by W. F. Snyder & Sons and the Bothwell interests of Salt Lake City. In addition to the tailings which are being treated new ore deposits have been blocked out in the Mercur Hill, Golden Gate, Brickyard and Geyser Marion properties. Much of this ore was not profitable during the early days, and now much experimentation is necessary in an effort to keep the district going on a permanent basis. The Mercur district, known as Camp Floyd, was teeming with activity at the beginning of the silver excitement in 1870, but was practically abandoned as a silver camp until the discovery of gold a few years later. Records of the United States Geological Survey place the in the district which was consid- value of prdouction from the disered “washed up” a few years ago. ‘trict at $19,093,000, only a small New. life was breathed into. the fraction of which was paid in dividends. camp due to improved metallurgy Much the same as it was during in the treatment of gold ores and an advance in the price of the yel- the early days most of the revenue low metal from $20.67 to $35 an from the ore goes for labor, supplies, equipment and taxes, with ounce. e : In order to revive the old camp little left over for distribution.
