GREAT FORTUNE IN. _ GRIM DESERT DUST Mojave Contains Much Precious Metal San Bernardino, Cal., Jan. 6—()— Restless sands of the great Mojave desert, mining experts believe, may yield fortunes in gold dust to inven- bare rains or carried by incessant winds through the progress of natural erosion, is lying, they say, on long stretches of wasteland. Only an exacting process is needed, experimenters believe, to wrest great wealth from sands that in the sum- mer bake under @ temperature of 100 degrees or more. Dry lake beds fur- nish the experts with experimental ‘material. After three years of experimenta- tion -in: handling the desert silt, a 500 ton plant has been started at Lake Bagdad in an attempt to extract the gold from the dust like substance. Experiments conducted there are being watched by the entire western mining industry. Test holes bored on three dry lake beds, Bagdad, Lavic and Cadiz, have led engineers to believe, Arthur L. Noran of Barston said, that the silt contains gold running to more than $1.8 ton. Doran, @ Sen Bernardino county supervisor, said borings put down to 80 feet on each of the lake beds gave the same results. Gold was found at many levels. No mining or drilling is necessary, he said, since the gold is im powder form. The extracting of a ee eee em.

The governor was fully equal he ignored the fact that money used to pay the bonds and the up by the Shafer administration. All Langer had to do of savings he is dealing with the future more than with oring a lot of things. ss all, of course, is the fact that he has been operating.on the new since July 1. Before that he was using money left over by the administration. There is more than a prospect besa the next leg- ions. retirement fund. Also that the money the counties formerly got from the Gasoline tax goes into the same pot, \ i ‘Tt was like robbing Peter to pay Paul, or, as one man comments, “what the people made on the whitefish they lost on the mackerel.” But this didn’t keep the governor from claiming all kinds of credit. He is too good a gymnast to suffer even a kink in the arm while patting his own back. AND THE POLITICIANS ‘ET UP’ THE DEER Guy Smith, Bismarck sportsman, thinks it would have been poetic jus- tice if a lot of people who attended a recent banquet staged by the state game and fish department, had gotten the bellyache right after their meal. But they didn’t, thereby proving that there is something wrong with the eternal verities. As Smith tells the story, he had a license to shoot deer and got a fine! buck in the river bottoms. For safe keeping he left it with his brother, George, engineer at the U. 8. Indian school here, properly tagged and everything shipshape. Into the scene popped one of Chief Game Warden Fred Argast’s trusty sleuths who confiscated the deer. Hiding behind the majesty of the law, be made no explanation. Then came the most unkindest cut of all. Before the irate Smith could recover his deer it was “et up” by the voracious politicians, Smith points to the fact that the game department has never attempted to prosecute him. He has challenged it to do so but it has declined—with thanks and a full tummy. This is proof, Smith says, that the deer was in his possession legally. He can’t get the deer back and Chief Kinzer refuses to make satisfac- tory settlement with him. It is all very disturbing to an honest sportsman who says he would sue the state about the deal if it didn't cost so much. WANTED TO BE HONEST BUT COULDN'T AFFORD IT Former Governor Walter Maddock illustrates some of the troubles he has been having with the wheat allotment by citing a letter received by the Barnes county agent from a farmer in that district. The man, it seems, had asked an allotment and his figures had been challenged, whereupon he wrote the county agent a letter. Quite frankly he stated he had encountered so much bad luck recently he felt he couldn't afford to tell the truth, since he wanted his allot- ment-to be as large as possible. If he told the truth, he said, he’d have to take a cut on his allotment, but since he had been caught with the goods he gave the figures on his production as near as he could. “There's been quite a bit of that in the state,” Maddock commented, “but it is going to come out all right. When we get through we're going to have a pretty reliable set of figures.” ONE SUPPORTER FOR HENRY A. WALLACE Incidentally, Maddock is very distinctly not one of those who thinks Secretary of Agriculture Wallace is a flat tire. &@ good job in a tough spot. “These fellows who are abusing and accusing Wallace don't know what they are talking about,” said the former governor. “Sniping at Wallace is just their way of attacking the president. He isn’t doing anything the President doesn’t approve.” Some farmers, however, have been deceived by the attacks on Wallace, he feels, and he is doing bis best to disabuse their minds. Intends to keep on hammering away at it as long as the attacks on the secretary persist. Maddock didn't say so, but from his remarks it is easy to gather the idea he is rather strong for Roosevelt, Among the bitterest critics of Wallace in this erea are Governor Langer (“If he went to school two years longer he might make a fourth-rate county agent”), Congressman William Lemke, Senator Lynn J. Frazier and John A. Simpson, national president of the Farmers Unton. FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT TRAINED ON VOGEL Word which is alleged to come from the “inside” says that Highway Czar Frank Vogel has been warned by the bureau of public roads to stop money—or else. The “or else” would be rather disastrous to the state highway system, since the government, is furnishing practically all of the money and could Jerk the purse strings anytime. Some Democrats feel Vogel is obeying orders. Others are not so sure and so a quiet check-up is being made. They probably will continue to be made just as a matter of precaution. If the government men get the goods on Vogel he probably will resign very quickly. The state could not afford to have its highway department closed down and that is what might happen if Governor Langer or Vogel got “tough.” On the other hand, some Democrats have been raising cain on the theory that good Democratic money was being used to build up the Langer Republican machine, Hence the watchfulness. FIVE PER CENT AND FEDERAL RELIEF While discussions of the five per cent are being considered it might be north | as well to find out about its relation to the state civil works administration, which last week had a payroll of more than 22,000 names and paid out more than $250,000. Rumors to the effect that Langer’s henchmen were assessing the five C| per cent against workers in the local CWA office, all paid with federal money, recently have been current. This may have been true once but to the best of the Searchlight’s in- formation it is not true now, hasn't been since R, A. Kinzer “repigned” (by request) as secretary and éxecutive officer of the civil works board and was replaced by John Williams. The committee is making a real effort to keep politics out of the civil works administration, in line with orders from Relief Director Harry Hop- kins. Kinzer was trying to play Langer pclitics. That is the reason he was Whether the “politics” included an attempt to work the five per cent racket, the Searchlight’s informant, a man whose knowledge cannot be questioned, did not say. Since Kinser left, the effort to weed out the politicians has continued. Employes taken.on recently have been told plainly of their limitations. A good many of them, by the way, profess to be Democrats. THE MAN IN THE SADDLE—AND ON THE SPOT Exposition in a Bismarck show window of a check for $440,000, made out by the federal relief administration to Governor William Lenger, brings to light the fact that the governor still is claiming to be the high pooh-bah federal money for this state. He is understood to have exhibited such a check at a Burleigh county not so long ago as proof of what he has done to relieve distress. government agent, present at the meeting, later mildly informed the that the check represented money given by the government to the ident, however, had its repercussions and the governor and his been told they have no more influence with the civil works administration than s Brazilian parrakeet has on a North Da- kota_snowstorm. at the time because there were no since been verified. necessary by those telegrams which Langer’ to claim credit for the civil works proposal in North Dakota, the state committee. the Cw.
