In an article on the resources of Nevada and the Death Valley region, a western paper says that Mount Blanc, approximately 1,500 feet high and two miles in diame ter, is a mass of pure borax.

When any of his chil dren are spending a season away from home, he tells them they may purchase their hats and other articles of dress where they may chancB to be : but wnen tney ara in Albemarle they must make their investments for these things at home. There many who do a large per cent, of their shopping in towns and cities far away from home.
