MINE DROPS SILVER FOR GOLD.
Transformation Of Utah Mine to suit
tho Market.

tUV
The town Of Mcrcur, formerly called
Lewiston, which Is about four hours
ride by rail from Salt Lake City, is now
the center of the coming great gold
mining camp of Utah. 1t is situated
in what is known as the Camp Floyd
mining district, and though about two
years have elasped since the revival OF
the camp, the town now claims 1875 fam
lilies. Formerly it was known as a sill
yer camp, but to-day it is as gold camp
that II must be considered, and as q
gold camp possessing features pccul'
iarly it's own, which distinguish 1t In
q marked degree from all other gold
sections known, in that gold contained
in It's ores seems to be absolutely free
from oil association with silver and

The extent Of the urea covered by the
Mcrcur belt Is us yet unknown, but posi-
tive developments of great value have
been made upon 1t Mt a distance of from
five and one-haf to six miles from ono

mineral constituents, shch as gold
mercury, arsenic, iron and gypsum
On the average the gold contents of the
ore are not high, the values running

twelve dollars at more or less in
creased depth. 1t is, however, the fact
of their being found in such large guam

with mills in operation.
The chief obstacle to the entire sec

obviated Ivy the piping of water from

Walrus WhIskers.

A peculiar but profitable industry
which DR.. Benjamin Sharp discovered
among the natives of Alaska on his re-
cent trip to the Behring sea is the prep
aration and sale of walrus whiskcrs for
toothpicks. Nature has armed the wal
rus with growth of whislIcrs which
extend three or four inches out from its
snout, with the apparent motive of en-
aiding it to detect the presence of an
iccberge before actual contact has re-
suited. These whiskers are quite stiff
and this quality improves with age.
When walrns is killed the natives pro-
coed TO pull out, with the aid of rude
pinchers, each separate whislcr. After
thorough drying they are arranged in
neat packages and exported to China,
where they are considered necessary

Tutti-Fruttl Plea delicious fruit
pie, which Is n sort of mock mnce, may
ba made in the following manner;l
Take n pound of selected figs (perfer-
ably those packed in California, as be-
ing clcaner), wash them thoroughly,
and stew until swelled to their natural
size. Cut off their stems and put them
into chopping-bowl. Add half
pound of secdless ruisins, the Same
amount of prepared currants, little
citron, sprig of candied ginger, one
large juicy apple peeled, and the juice
and entire rind of n lemon.
Chop all of these ingredients together
evenly, and when minced quite fine
stew for five minutes in sufficient liquor
of the figs to cover the fruit. Add one
cup of granulated sugar, one grated
nutmeg, Il pinch of cloves and one OF
cinnamon, bake in pie with n lattice
top, from paste which is not too rich.
A suitable recipe for such puff paste
may be made thus: To pint of flour,
take u quarter of pound of lard,
pinch of salt, pint of ice water and
onc-half of n pound of good butter.
Cut the lard into the flour with knife,
add salt and mix the water into this,
until dough is formed. Roll out light

the butter is used, perhaps four or five
times. This is an excellent pie-crust
for such rich pie, although scarcely
'short" enough for an ordinary fruit or
custard filling, in which case three
quarters of pound of butter should be
used. This tutti-irutti pie may be made
also of stewed prunes, instead Of figs,
and perhaps to the taste of many per-
sons would be improved by the substi-
tuition. 1t is better when eaten the
same day as baked, but will provo
palatabe the day following also, when
quite cold. This quantity will make
several pies.

The battle celebrated was that Of
Hohen-Fricdberg. The regiment was
then under tie command of Frederick
the Great, and attacked the combined
Austrian and saxon forces. twas due
entirely to tfs heroic work of the sol
diers of the Ba,reuth dragons, as the
regiment was then called, that the bat
tie was won. They made $500 prison
crs, captured &C battleilags, 20 cannon,
and conquered ten regiments of Aus
tria's best veteran troops.
Tie regiment is one in which the
reigning family of Germany takes
peculiar interest. 1t was founded on
June /. 1921. by Frederick William J.,
king of Prussia, and father of Freder-
ick the Great. The reigning family
was descended fiom Frederick of llo-
henzolern, German count i'll $50, ami
Frederick William, the elcctor of Bran
dcuberg, l6l0-SS, whose son, the king
of Prussia, was the founder of the
regiment which was first called the
Schulcnberg dragons. Later it was
called the Bayrcuth Dragons, but upon
the death of the late count of Bayrcuth
III 1905, it was given its present title.
In 1905 the famous Queen Louise took
upon herself the title of colonel OF this
regiment, and since then all the sue
feeding wives Of the Prussian kings have
done the same. Queen Louise inspect
ed her regiment regularly, and took
great interest in its welfare. Then, as
now, the uniform was white, but in the
battle Of llohcn-Friedbcrg it was
clothed in light blue. In 1919, two
years before the celebration of its
Tooth anniversary, the regiment was
changed from dragon to cuirassicr.

quarters near the imperial palace and
is on an equal footing with the garde

In all the great wars that Germany
has had in the last century and II half,
the Pommeranians have taken Il prom

about the fighting abilities Of the rcgi

is woman. 1t was regarded as the best
