(Continued from front page)
one considers that there art
several hundred acres of lane
! in this section on which this
valuable mineral is found.
It is said that the investiga

on quietly for the past year
reveal the fact that the for
mations here are exactly iden
tical with the formations in
the Siberian platinum fields of
Russia.
At any rate, some outside
men with capital are becom
ing interested in the matter
and The Journal would not be
at all surprised to see some
sensational developments in

MAN FOUND DEAD
Body Leaning Against a Tree
Near Newport
Newport, Oct. 26.—An un
identified man, apparently 70
years old, was found dead
Tuesday afternoon between
Newport and Diaz, and a
short distance from the Mis
souri Pacific tracks.
The body when found was
sitting upright against a tree
the man apparently asleep
There were no bruises or indi
cations of violence of any kind
found on the body, and it is
thought death was from natur
al causes. There was nothing
on his person to identify the
man, and the body was buried
by the county. The trademark
of a merchant at Portland,
Ore., was inside his hat, and
only one cent was fonud in his
pockets.

BUY SOME STOCK
The Journal understands
that a representative of one of
the mineral companies con
trolling a lot of land in the
Sanders neighborhood will
make a canvass of Newark
soon in an effort to place some
stock among our citizens.
Don’t go too strong, but
buy some of this stock. We
admit it is more or less of a
gamble, but the odds are too
great to pass it up if you have
any sporting blood in you. If
the thing is a success it will
pay enormous dividends and
a few' dollars invested in the
stock will bring big returns.
If it is a failure you have lost
but little, and our people can
afford to take a chance on a
few dollars where the odds
are a thousand to one in their
favor.
Go light, but take a little
stock and let’s help to develop
the thing and see what there is
to it.

The fact that of all the button! that
