We are just getting started on digitizing older Mountaineer Newspapers.

Anyone have any old Mountaineers from the 60's or 70's?
We are missing some in the Barbara Van Houten's collection and will need to fill in the gaps

Bound editions will not work for using the copy stand that was specifically built for high resolution digitizing of newspapers, map, photos and other documents.

That's the Clyde ranch apple label.  :2thumbsup: Thank you.  Still working on the Clyde ranch history and history of the family.  Any and all help will be appreciated.  How that ranch survived all the disastrous events is beyond me.  Someone's guardian angel was working overtime.  Thank you.

I believe I read here that "cheese" in this context is describing a kind of favorable rock/mineral/ore.  Though it says the guy is a creamery expert so......I have no idea.

Haha ok so I'm not crazy. It's not dated April 1st, so perhaps a disgruntled newspaper employee pulled a fast one on the editor?    ;D

Some cheeses can only be made in certain locations because of bacteria that exists in these locations. Cheeses such as Roquefort can only be made "authentically" with Penicillium roqueforti from the natural Combalou caves of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon.  No doubt they were hoping for a similar situation in here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roquefort

Today any bacteria can be replicated anywhere of course, but I think it's still applicable to the article.
