1 RICH MINERAL SECTION
fhaf Is accessible 1t All Seasons and
Practically UndeYeloped.

While the Hump is attracting
the attention of the entire mining
world there is q section near
e Grangeville that in year or
two will astonish the miners BY
it, riches, and every acre will be
mined and many mills will be in
operation. The ore is free smiling,
and the lodges are Of good size and
give great promise of permanency
and vast wealth. That locality il
NewsOme creek. The belt is about
eight miles wide by 40 in length,
ane in days gone by has produced
millions in placer gold and in
many places is still being made to
give up it's yellow treasure. Among
the many promising claims on this
belt are the Iron Crown, Iron King.
Lookout, Harry. First Chance and
the recent rich strike OF Wells &
Fudge.
Your correspondent had a talk
with Mr.. Wells yesterday and that
gentleman said they had completed
the road to the mine, let a con-
tract for four miles of ditch, cleared
. mill-site and would put in a 10
stamp mill, but did not think it
possible to get it in operation be-
fore spring as the season is too far
advanced to get the machinery
over the mountains. That they
had plenty Of money to do all this
and were not asking assistance
from any one. They haye made
arrangements with the Iron Crown
to run so tons of ore on the LIST OF
October and would Immediately
deliver the ore to the mill.
The Imogene is another very
rich lead on this belt, about two
miles down the creek from New
some. 1t has SO inches OF ere that
runs $50 per ton. This property
is owned by Stonebraker and 9TH
ers and it is reported that they in
tend to bring l0-stamp mill that
is at present at Florence and put
it on the property. They are also
interested in several other proper
ties in this section.
Messrs. Baird, Green & McGrane
have made arrangements to push
development on their claims on the
quartz ledge that traverses this
section.
The Montana placer, X. G. Hus.
ton, manager, has cleaned up for
the season, but the amount is not
obtainable.
The Iron Crown made another
cleanup on the Both and Superin-
tendent Walp has gone out with
the brick. This property has a
dividend slated for October 1st.
Quite q number Of Grangeyille
people have visited this section the
past week in quest OF huckleber-
ries. HALE.

OLD SAWS.
Old Proverbs Don't Always Hold

Old Proverbs Don't Always Hold
old saws are sometimes broken. A
man convinced against his will is OF
his own opinion STILL" have seen that
badly smashed. A friend came In TO
see me some time ago while I was in
bed with nervous prostration.
The physician had strictly forbidden
me 10 use. coffee. and had tried q lit
tie Postum Ceralf Food Coffee, but the
way It was served II tasted so fiat that
1 broke tae rules OF The doctor and oc-
cas!onaliV drank a cup Of coffee, al
though each time suffered for 1t. Dur
Ing her conversation she asked me why
didn't. try Postum. "Oh,", said, II
have tried that. but It's no use, can't
drink H." She laughed out loud and
said, why, my dear, sou have been
imposed uron. II you once have Pos
tun made right, you will be in love
with 1t from that time on" I listened
to her with little interest and much In
c.eduiity, but enc kept on insisting.
Shortly after. WHEN recovered a 1T
tie, was visiting friends house. who
asked ME II !, would like cup OF Pos
tun. and Which 1t was served. It tasted
no better than mine had, SO you see I
had, apparently, u most thorough eX-
perience with the taste of Postum. and
knew its taste to be decidedly fiat and
insipid.
However, / found for the good OF my
health l must drink It, and so when
got home and was a little stronger I
determined to see II 1t could not be
made TO taste better Looked at the
package carefully, and found that the
| directions were very plain, that the
Postum must ba allowed actual boil
| lng OF at least fifteen minutes. I put
It on IN cold water. 1t took about III
teen minutes before 1t commenced to
| boil, then ] allowed It TO bubble and
| boil fifteen minutes more, and after 1t
had settled I poured out 4 cup which
certainly was as rich n dark brown
cup of coffee as ever saw In my life,
| and when cream and sugar we're
| added l was amazed at the taste.
Eureka" had found what l wanted.
From that tina on you can imagine l
knew 10 certainty when 1t was served
at the table whether Postum had been
| boiled long enough or not. There Is as
much difference as between day and
night. Postum undecboiled is fiat. and
boiled as 1t should be- is one OF the
most delicious beverages a. woman ever
tasted 1t is strange that people try
and try again. and make Postum in so
SlovenlS" q manner that they fail to get
the delicious flavor from II. !. OF
course, have no temptation to 20 back
to common coffee. for have the finest
coffee twice a day, and find 1t safe.
