According to a celebrated health ex-
pert. blanched almonds give the higher
nerve or brain and muscle food, and
the man who wishes to keep up his
brain power will do well to include
them In his daily bill OF fare. Juicy
fruits give more or less the higher
nerve or brain food. and are eaten by
all mon whose living depends on their
clear-headedness. Apples supply tho
brain with rest. Prunes are said 10 az
ford proof against nervousness, but are
not muscle-feeding. They should DO
avoided by those who suffer from the
liver. But II has been proved that
fruits do not have the same effect
upon everybody. Some men cannot
eat apples without suffering from acute
dyspepsia. Fruit cure" is form OF
treatment which is quite the rage in
continental Europe now with persons
suffering from real or imaginary NAL

ASSAYED FROM SELECTED SPEC
IMENs OF ORE TAKEN FROM
THE CHAMPION NINE.
Five Miners Sent Out This Morning to
Make a Thorough Examination Of
This Find-Wili Put in Shot and
Sack the Output-VaIuabIe Find
in the Cooper Hill Tunnel.

The owners of the Champion group
of mines sent a gang of five men and
two wagonloades of supplies to the
mines this morning. and will proceed
to demonstrate beyond question and
richness of the group from which the
5 1000 rock was taken and assayed a
few days ago.
Some picked specimens of rock were
assayed. showing more than $4,000 in
gold, and as the vein is ten inches
wide, it is believed hat the average
of value will not be less than three
or -four hundred dollars to the tor.
1t is the intention to put a blast Iii
the hole the first thing, and the result
of this shot will be sacked and the
whole amount assayed. thus giving the
true value.
The owners and the men working for
them have great faith in the PROPOSE
ton. and upon the result of this next
shot will depend the establishment OF
their faith.

w. X. West and Albert Richards Of
the Laramie Mining Exchange came ia
last night from Cooper hill, bringing
specimens of rock takenfrom the Coop
err hill tunnel that are quite promising.
The tunnel is making wonderful prog
ress under the new compressed air
drill. and just as a turn was made in
its line a lead Of copper was struck. 1t
is said that if the turn had been d few
inches sharper the lead would have
been missed, and what is believed will
develop into a rich vein passed with
out notice. The vein Rugged the wall
so closely that only an accident reveal
ed it.
Some very rich specimens were
brought in from the Strauss & McFad-
den shaft on Cooper hill. a little north
of the tunnel, n they have attracted
attention. They show copper in UNI
mistakable form and in good quantity.
Messrs. West and Richards had a
very good word to say of the new finds
there. and they speak hopefully of the
outlook.
