Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-05-09

tests have been made on these
extensive ore bodies both in
Idaho Springs and at Alice
that resulted in a saving of
only so to 90 per cent of the
assayed values. Some tests
have recently been made on
this ore by the electro-chlorin-
alton in small lots that proved
satisfactory in every way, and
it is probable that a large mill
using this process will be
built at the mine during the
year, and it is confidently ex-
pected by the management
that good dividends will be
forthcoming from what is now
waste. The ore bodies in this
Dig mine have hardly been
touched, while considerable
high grade ore has also been
found along with the large
bodies of low grade stuff. The

One can the better realize what are
luxuries Of the table in the valley Of
the Yukon by reading Mrs. Sullivans
book "A Woman Who Went 10 Alas
ka." II was on the way down the river
from Dawson that her party came up
on the first vegetable gardens
"The river banks were lined with ca
noes; many natives stood looking at us
from the shore, and while stevedores
handled the wood many passengers
visited the town. It was not long be-
fore they came back with handfuls Of
turnips, just pulled from the ground.
which, had these been the most lus-
cious fruit, could not have been eaten
with more relish.
II tried TO buy one from young man,
but he had evidently been long away
from such luxuries. for he refused TO
sell Afterward his gallantry got the
better Of him, and he politely offered
me ono-half OF the turnip, which took
with thanks.
GAS my brother peeled the precious
thing l asked him how long it was
since he had eaten one. Two years,
he promptly replied.
knowing that he was especially fond
OF such things, l ate a small slice and

Fog Plnnt.n virtnen

Fog fruit is the old name Of a re-
markable plant that is being distributed
throughout the west through the enthu-
siastic agency Of the Arizona expert
ment station. This plant may have
taken its name from the fact that it
can exist with the minimum amount
of moisture. In any evRt this charac-
teristic constitutes its chief value. 1t is
not advocated as a forage plant, as an
imals do not like it, but its drought re-
sisting qualities and endurance render
it OF exceptional value in the semiarid
western states as a soil binder. During
the summer of last year a growth Of
fog fruit successfully maintained itself
on an Arizona mesa for eight months
with less than two inches of rainfall.
As lawn plant. where the usual grass
es can only be grown with great diff
Guilty. the fog fruit is n very desirable
substitute. It maintaips a compact
mass Of green foliage interspersed with
small purple and white flowers. giving
it the general appearance of a clover
lawn. The fact that it does not require
constant applications of the lawn now
er to keep It in presentable. condition is
another valuable characteristic of the
plant. Chief Of all, however, are its
soil binding properties, and for prevent

FATAL CASES.
A Public Danger and Why Care Should
Be Taken. 1

Your attention has not been called
TO this public danger for some time.
and we believe it is our duty to in
form the people that the majority OF
fatal pneumonia cases are caused by
the patient taking for a cold some So
called cough cure or "balsam" which
depend upon poisonous drugs for their
effect.
These drugs deaden the nerves and
stop secretion along the breathing
tract, which is always followed by
congestion and inhammation-that
causes pneumonia.
Without these injurious drugs, Fa-
ther Johns Medicine cures colds. long
standing coughs and all throat and
lung troubles. II is not a patent med
icine or cough syrup" but a body
builder and tonic, it cures colds by
soothing and healing the throat. and
nourishes the system at the same time.
It's gentle laxative effect strengthens
the stomach and corrects the diges-
tion. so that each organ Of the body is
able to properly perform its work-that
is how the poisonous waste matter and
impurities are driven out of the sys-
tenn. Its food elements make strength
and restore to sound health those who
are weak and run down.
