Rich Strike Reported In New Mexico Report Discovery Os Mountain Os Precious Minerals PITTSBURGH (INS) t .Discovery ot a mountain ot almost solid precious and valuable minerals in New Mexico bar been reported by a Pennsylvania oil and xas well company. The rich strike is located 47 miles southwest ot Santa Fe, just five miles from the famed Ortiz mines—the fabulous Sierra Oro, or "mountain of gold.” First reports by the Onego Corp, of Uniontown. Fa. near Pittsburgh claim the "mineral mountain" contains extensive deposits of gold, copper, silica, iron and silver. The find was made last October, at what te known as Oro Quay Mountain. The Onego. Coxp« ~baa. , established 40 claims over an 800 acre area. Onego has already begun mining gold at two sites and will be operating a third by the end of the month. One of the mines, known as the Uncle Herbert, is located about 800 feet down the side of Oro Quay. At a depth of only 65 feet the vein is seven feet wide. Assays of the Uncle Herbert have been returned showing its gold content to be running from $261 per ton at the Stgba ’of the vein to. $1,116 per ton at the center. y ' •> ’ The second mine, the Romijune. a short distance from the Uncle Herbert, has a vein four feet wide.

| The Elena Marla mine In the same I vicinity promises, geologists say, to pfbvF richeb than Either of the other two. Edward James, Onego president, said that eventually the whole mountain will be honeycombed with gold mine shafts. Diggers at the present time are taking out between 30 and 35 tons of gold ore a day, which will be upped to about 200 tons daily by spring, with a minimum value ot SIOO a ton. The gold, like the topping on an ice cream sundae, is said to be sitting upon one of the richest popper deposits yet located. The copper yield, with up to 70 per cent purity, is expected to outstrip . the gold many times, over. Onego also reports a rich deposit of almost pure optical silica in a 40 foot seam which assays at. 59.68 per cent purity. The silica'- mine, with reserves estimated M more than one-million tons, is also in operation with a yield of sl7 per ton. x‘ I BtiU another section ot the mountain holds more than five-mil-lion tons of high grade iron ore. showing a <5 per cent purity with shafts down only 200 feet ao far. Until it branched out into west--18 months ago. Onego confined its chief activities to development of oil and gas fields in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. James says that it is impossible at this time to estimate the ultimate value of the bonanza, but added that Onego intends to develop the entire area. He said: "We are going to put the whole mountain (elevation 8,300 feet) through a sifter.” CONVICTION OF (Continued from Pure Oner that there was another man besides Dr. Sheppard in the house that night, a “bushy-haired stranger.” The Sheppard family has spent many thousands of dollars into Dr. Sam's defense and a SIO,OOO reward for information leading to the “real” killer is still on deposit, to be awarded by the Cuyahoga county commissioners. The commissioners have postponed the award until the case of Dr. Sam is settled once and for all. MEDICS REPORT (Continued From Pegs Onur publican national chairman Leonard Hall arrived, just as Brownell was leaving. It was explained that Hall was also calling on a “routine" matter. The President himself spent most ot the afternoon with secretary of state John Foster Dulles going oxer foreign affairs. Meanwhile, the senate COP policy committee, in a move to strengthen election-year party harmony, said that all 47 Republican senators will be invited to a ‘briefing after each weekly White House legislative conference.

Poet Defends Use Os Misused English Barton Rees Pogue Press Club Speaker INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — A defender of the use of “ain't”, “hain’t” and “tain’t” told members of the Woman's Press club of Indiana that he might not be a poet but he*d earned an enjoyable living from colloquial verse. Barton Rees Pogue, of Upland, Ind., who has written and recited millions of words using the misused English he claims Hoosiers still use, spoke at a meeting of the club in Indianapolis Tuesday. Pogue, a native of Monon, Hid., and a former Instructor at Indiana and Taylor universities, laughingly recalled a critic of the late James Whitcomb Riley who said the famed Hoosier poet’s writings were not poetry because they could be understood at first reading. Pogue said; “If Riley is no poet—then I'm no poet.” The white-haired author of six volumes of verse poetry recalled that he formerly lived in Greenfield. He said he felt that Riley wrote tor the people he entertained and wrote about something specific. which he opined were requirements for anyone who wanted to be a poet. Pogue, who described himself as “dem near 65” said some Hoosiers, “get real provoked” because they' claim that Indiana residents no longer use the colloquialisms contained in his writings. He suggested that the summary of a Boston college professor who called Pogue’s writings “essays in rhyme" might be more accurate but assured the news women: ■*“ "Uve sold everything I’ve ever written, with one or two sxceptlona.".-_ One of the exceptions he identified as a vers® titled “Why Don’t You Put a Key in the Bathroom Door."
