INNING MENTION.


Trade Dollar.-Word comes down
from the mine that rich strike has
been made in the face of the adit tun-
mel. This chute is nearly 1000 feet
from the mouth of the tunnel and adds
another voucher for the great value and
permanency Of Owyhee mines. The
new upraise is progressing nicely and
as soon as connections are made with
the No. 3 tunnel, sinking will begin
from the adit.

Ida Ed. Grant has recently &C.
quired a promising location on the
north slope of War Eagle mountain,
which he has christened the Ida E.
The claim is north extension of the

has been done, 1t shows up three foot

will make producer.

Skinker Creek.-The Sinker Greek
district has received quite a reputation
in time past as diamond field'' but
has never before posed as a rich quartz
district. George w. Gilmore was up
from there this week, however, to Sc
cure blanks and to record some claims,
and he informs US that no surprise need
be felt If quite lot of prospecting is
done in that neighborhood this season.
He has located thFee claims. One of
them is only few hundred feet from
his residence and upon his own ranch.
The ledge is over hundred feet wide
and has been traced on the surface for
about half a mile. The vein runs east
and west. lie has opened it with a six
ty-foot tunnel and received assays as
high as S43 per ton, 1924 in gold. Mr..
Gilmore will continue the tunnel to 100
feet and then cross cut the ledge both
ways. The property is admirably situa.
ted for power and timber. Water power
is available for milling purposes eight
months in the year.

Butter and Cream as Medicine.

One of the fayorite remedies of ply
sicians is cod liver OIL, and why is one
of the mysteries of the world of medi
cine, when all there is about il is an oil
or fatty substance is wanted that is
easily digested and quite as easily as
simulated, fish oil being appropriated
with "a small outlay of digestive power.
Why cod liver oil, IA product of the de-
composition of fish refuse, should ever
have been CHANGED upon when butter
and cream are nature supply and at
once the most readily obtainable is un-
explainable While any one can take
cream or butter the consuming of fish
oil requires the fortitude of saint and
the heroism of martyr and, AS we
know, the oil does not agree with many
and is hard of digestion i'll others. Now,
it has been demonstrated that fresh I'M
sailed butter Is rather more digestible
than oil and Is pleasant to take, on
thinly cut slices of bread, and as high
as four ounces day of this butter can
be eaten with impunity by even deli
cate persons, and cream can be taken to
the full desire of the patient. Where
one Is recovering from Frustrating sick
ness and the body needs nourishment
this fresh butter, it is now asserted, has
no equal III building up the wasted It's
sues of the body, and as a stimulant
very hot, fresh milk is without rival,
outside of the use of alcohol, which
last is better left alone, when possible.
Growing children may be greatly bene-
fitted by indulging in generous amounts
of butter, though it may seem expen-
sive, but it may prove the cheapest in
the end. Either of these remedies can
be taken without Doctors prescrip-
ton and is outside of the kill or cure"
