111,400 in cash, or $1,120. 200 less than
the amount which was estimated from

be readily accounted for.

Get Ready For Warm weather.
BY a complete change in breakfast. at
this time of the year, one can put the
body right to go through the summer
comfortably.
Leave off meat. potatoes and heavy
body heating foods. and use the food
that will nOurish the body and give
reserve force to the brain and nervous
system.
A most appetizing and healthfuI
brea kfast can be made on Grape-Nuts
and cream, some fruit and perhaps two
soft boiled eggs-this meal will furnish
full strength and nourishment up to the
next and has a remarkable effect on
the body during bot weather Remem-
Der the cells of the body You are now
building will last you into summer, so
be sure and build the kind that tend
to keep a cool body and level head.
One pound of Grape-NUts has more
nourishment-that the system will alb
sorb-than ten pounds of meat. without
any of the internal heat Of meat that
2 person wishes to avoid during the
warm season: its rich. nutty flavor,
added to the delicate sweet Of the grape
sugar. makes a dish pleasing to the
most critical taste.
You receive Grape-Nuts from the
grocer ready to serve, as it has been
thoroughly cooked at the factory by
food experts, and this saves heat from
cooking and time and exertiOn neces-
sary in preparing ordinary food.
A change from the old breakfast to
one like this viii refresh and invigorate
the system in a surprising manner and
permit you TO enjoy the pleasures of
summer in a cool. comfortable fashion
when your neighbors, differently fed,
will be hot.

WITH the arrival Of Edgar L. New

the American Smelling & Rein

Denver. work at the new 100000
smelling plant is being hurried, that
the first furnace may be blown in dur

pany's offices yesterday that section by
section and piece by piece the ma
cbinery is being limbered up and test
ed, and it is probable that before the
week closes the first fire will be

While no statement is vOuched to
that effect by the management, il is
believed that Mr.. NeWhouse's visit is
not so much for the purpose of seeing
the plant start as TO have a few more
conferences with the producers. and
possibly look farther into the railroad
schedule recently put into effect. Since
he was here last, number of proper
ties have submitted ores to the COM
pauy for testing purposes. but up 20
date no contracts have been signed up,
and there IS a sentiment that a read

The old workings have developed the
vein to a depth of ninety feet and az
this depth there are fourteen feet of
ore that win average at least 20 per

tents are such that the ore has been

Certainly there is no property any

FINE IDAHO PROPERTY.
Salt Lakers Have a Bonanza in the
Ella Hill.

Attorney H. A. Smith has returned
from a trip Of inspection to the Ella
Hill mine. in Neal district, Ida. Several
salt Lakers are interested in this prop
erty. and Mr. Smith brought encOurag-
ing reports to them of the promise of
early developments OF most salts
factory nature. He found work pro-
crossing at a rapid rate in the tunnel
to intercept the vein at vertical depth
of 800 feet. and seventy-five feet more
ought to bring the face of the tunnel
into ore. From the surface the vein
was prOspected to a depth Of thirty
feet, showing four feet Of ore ayerag-
ing $40 to $50 in gold.
From another vein on the Ella Hill
property Mr.. Smith says several lots
of ore have been taken at a depth OF
no more than thirty feet, yielding
$t15.3S. $324S6 $2S2.S6 and S247.25 for
each ten-ton lot. with a shipment or
eighty-one tons, bringing S59S9S. An
other claim west of the Ella Hill shows
SO ore.
The Ella Hill property is close to
the HOmestake and Daisy mines. which
are producing from $4,000 to $4,000 a
month. 1t is the intention of Mr..
Smith and his associates to begin the
erection Of a mill just as soon as the
ore can be stopped from the tunnel.

RESULTS AT THE sHEBA.
Weekly Report Shows the Opening Of
Two New Ore Bodies.


The regular weekly report from the
Sheba company's Humboldt county,
Nevada, property reached Secretary
Child yesterday, and shows q most sat
isfactOry condition Of affairs at the
<fnine. Two good ore bodies. the report
says, have been developed in the Sheba
claim-one in the Franklin tunnel,
where a very high-grade streak, six
inches wide, has been followed in for
a distance OF nine feet through several
feet of good milling ore. The other
strike occurred east of and adjoining
the old workings on the fOOtwall of the
bedded vein. The ore at this point has
been followed in on the floor of the
drift for ten feet, and from twelve to
twenty-five inches Of IL are exposed. It
consists Of a mixture Of high-grade and
milling ore that gives promise of de-
veloping into something really big.
ore has also just made its appearance
az a point in the Sheba tunnel work
ings. described as Just east of the big
stull" but enough work has not yet
been done to show its extent. There
says where ore is just beginning to ap-
pear.
on the Mammoth, another Of the
c0mpany's properties. the work Of driv-
ing the tunnel to tap the ledge at a
depth Of 80 TO $50 feet is progressing
nicely, while a force of several men is
kept at work on surface milling ore
bodies. About twenty-five pounds OF
samples accompanied the report, and
some of them look good enough to eat.

Washington, May 3t.-ColoneI Wag-
ner, assistant adiUtant general. L. s.
A.. and formerly adjutant general of
the army in the Philippines. today
continued his testimony before the sem
ate Philippine committee. He said he
knew one village had been burned be-
cause the citizens would not give in
formation Of the murderers of a native
friendly to the United States. He spoke
Of General Bell as a humane officer and
said the conduct Of Americans in the
Philippines toward the native prisoners
had been uniformly kind and consider
ate.
Colonel Wagner did not agree with
General Hughes that the war in the
Philippines was not a civilized war.
He said that in the provinces com
manded by General Bell about 1O0,00
people were gathered in the concen-
traitor camps. Their property left out
side the camps was COnfsCated and
the wealthy people lost heavily. He
did not believe that any camp described
by an anonymous officer as "a suburb
of helI' ever existed.

Observation-Disclosures GLIlke.
Captain J. r. Bridges, the Tintic OPP
orator. is in from camp again. Al
though he was not inclined TO discuss
the matter, IL is pretty well understood
that he is working on a proposition
that involves the sale of the Grand
View property, consisting of four
claims adjoining the r G.. w. on the
northwest. The ground has been opened
through a 200-fOOt tunnel and an
eighty-foot Wine and the showing is
understood to be a most encouraging
one.
The captain brings the information
that on Tuesday last a cave was en-
countered in the Manhattan workings,
and body of ore dipping 10 the
southwest was disclosed. No assays had
been made when the captain left camp
but it was understood that the strike
was likely TO prove important. The
cave was encountered off the t00-fOOt

Carson, New, May 31.-What prom

cation is now making great Roadway
In this city, and many hundreds OF
thousands of dollars are involved. The
Tonopah Mining company of Butler,

claims Of the company are located.
Now contests have been filed in the
office, and a legal battle is on. The
Tonopah Consolidated Mining company
objects to patent being issued TO the
TOnOpah Mining company on the Buck
board claim, and the Salt Lake & Ton
Opah company objects TO an issuance Of
patent on the Valley View claim. Both
these claims are producing splendid
ore, the latter having a dozen shafts
down to a considerable depth. A num-

Consolidated Mercur left for Seattle
again last night When he left the mine
the mill was handling considerably

stated that the May average was a full
1000 tons per day-a record that he had
no doubt would be maintained for the
coming month.
He deplored greatly the accident
through which two men lost their lives
Friday morning in the chute which car

said, and the men evidently decided
that il would be safe enough and a
great deal easier to start it from the
bottom and let it all slide at once, not
realizing the fact that the mass
amounted altogether to several tons.
