Hyland 264 Vol. 5 BOULDER LAKE ENDS ANCIENT INDUSTRY Las Vegas, Nev. Waters of Lake Mead, slowly piling up behind Boulder dam, are wiping out an industry which thrived as far back as 500 A. D. The old St. Thomas salt mine, with its mountain of salt 300 feet high, said by scientists to have been worked by Pueblo Indiana as early as the start of the Fifth century, is beginning to disappear. Eaten away e by the lake, residents are wondering if the great pile of salt will contaminate the waters to any extent. Several years ago the ancient salt mine attracted scientists from afar when evidences were discovered that man, in the dawn of history, had engaged in industry there. Digging tools, fashioned from rocks tied together with leather thongs, were dug up. They proved, said archeologists, that the mine was the base of one of the principal workings of the Pueblo Indians who inhabited the territory about 500 A. D. until about 1200 A. D. The more modern history of the mine started in our own early western days when the first of the family, emigrating from Switzerland, settled in the St. Thomas section and became influential in its development. There the Bonellis, according to old timers, organized the Virgin River Salt company and operated the mine and a salt mill for many years. Finally, the Virgin River company died and the mine was worked, intermittently by various residents of the area. During the last few years thousands of tons of salt have been taken out. The old mine lies at the base of the salt mountain, but already the rising waters of Lake Mead have covered the road over which millions of tons have been hauled through 14 centuries, and today the ancient workings are isolated, approachable only by boat.

Medical authorities of the navy are unanimous in declaring that the safest place for a sailor is on board his ship instead of on land on shore leave. The tendency of sailors to take spins on motorcycles when ashore has caused more fatalities than the guns of enemy ships in several past wars. Latest statistics just completed by the fleets medical authorities show that for a number of years approximately 30 per cent of the deaths in the navy have been caused by motor vehicle accidents. Ten per cent are due to drowning, but even half of these occur when the sailors are ashore swimming at beaches instead of swimming about their respective ships under rigid surveillance. Disease accounts for 50 per cent of the deaths in the fleet. While medical authorities find that every year the sick bay loss in the navy is being slowly decreased, nevertheless they find that deaths due to disease are decreasing more rapidly than those due to motor vehicle accidents. The number of accidents due to purely ship activities in the fleet is exceedingly low. The fleet also has been able, the report said, to reduce annually the number of deaths due to aviation and the handling of high explosives. Relief Society The -- Sailor Is Safest on His Sydney, N.
