GREAT CHUNKS
OF THE YELLOW.
Graves Brothers Exploring
Ledge On Their Cracker
Creek Property.

II. A. Graves, who with his broth
or, q. L., Is Interested in the
Great American claim In the Crack
or Creek district, on which the
rich strike was made recently, came
In from the property Saturday, with
several more samples of this high
grade ore. The quartz is simply
studded with free gold, and while no
assays have been made of this
particular grade of IL, the rock shown
will doubtless run into the thousands
of dollars. The rich stuff was taken
from nn open cut. and Mr.. Graves
stntcs that the ledge IL over four feet
in width. and contains numerous
ribbons of this quality of ore. II
has been traced throughout the claim,
for n distance of over 1000 feet and
into the Buckeye group owned by
Gleason and Donn, adjoining. The
Great American IL ON the Cracker
Creek side of the mountain, abutting
on the Crescent, of the Buckeye,
some distance from the summit.
Last week the Graves Brothers
moved down about sixty feet from
tho open cut where the rich ore was
encountered, and started IA drift to
explore the ledge. Saturday they
struck the ledge opening up fine
body of good looking quartz. This
drift ut tho end line Of the claim
joining the Crescent will give u
vertical depth Of over 400 feet.
Outside of these rich stringers at
any point from which samples have
been taken, Mr.. Graves states that
good values have been shown. One
sample which showed no free gold tn
the naked eye, was assayed last week
and gave u value of sl5i in gold and
81 In silver.
Parnllclling the Great American

Lion group, owned by Ed llouscr,
who also owns II small fraction of the
former. Mr.. llouscr was at his pro
pcrty Sunday, aud he states that
beyond any question his property
contains the same ledge.

this country and from abroad. The
only American locality now
producing magnesite as Alameda
county, California. The supply from
abroad comes from Austria and
Greece. In 1902 the California
output was 1912 TONS, valued at
SAB, O57. The importation in the
same year exceeded 33. 400 tons.
This mineral Is marketed either
crude or calcined. The quoted
prices of thee calcined magnesite
range from sls to 1920 ton.
Mangesite occurs undoubtedly in
many places in the United States,
but its value as a marketable mineral
has not been generally known to the
mining men. Then, too, il resembles
very much dolomite and some of the
other commoner minerals in physical
appearance, which may account
for the scarcity of localities from
which II Is reported. In view of the
continued demand for magnesite the
miner will do we'll to familiarizc

AGAIN we hear the same old cry
of common primaries, by the
same old Regular hypocrites. 1t
is funny the cry never extends be
yond the limits of New Castle
county. The yellow Journal is
acting like a man with bee in the
bosom of his pants, because the
Union Republicans will not ac-
cede to common primaries, or III
other words, furnish the votes to
elect Regulars. This is the same
paper which has delighted to call
the attention of the world-at-large
to the simon-pure article of morals
the Regulars possessed; while on
the other hand, the Union Repub-
hcans were degenerates and capa-
bic of committing all the acts on
the calendar of crime. Ifthe Reg
ulars are so pure and holy, as they
paint themselves, why do they
wish to associate with such de-
praved people as they have en-
deavored to make out the Union
Republicans are The fact of their
desire to reap the benefits. accru-I
ing from the deposit of Union Re
publican ballots, shows conclusively
that the statements made against
the integrity OF the Union Repub
licau party were lies, and those max |
ing them were hypocrites. 1t was
this same yellow Journal which
advocated fusion, with the Demo
Gratis, during the last session of the
Legislature. Now it throws up its
hands and cries, that the Demo
Gratis are liable to elect a mayor of
the city of Wilmington. 1t was
willing to elect a Democrat United |
States Senator, but a Democratic
mayor-never. Has not the yell
low Journal advised the election
of Democrat, in preference to a
Union Republican, in Kent and
Sussex counties ?
If this advice was good for us,
why shouldn't it be suitable to the
people of New Castle? Such can
dor and honesty deserves more than
a passing remark. All the good |
people of the city of Wilmington |
should go to the Journal" Office
and pat the editor on the back for
the way he is conducting his cru
sade.

Healthy babies don't cry and the we'll

Nuts is never crying baby Many
babies who cannot take any other food
relish the perfect food Grape Nuts and
get well.
MY little baby was given up by three
doctors who said that the condensed
milk on which l had fed it had ruined
the child's stomach. One of the doctors
told me that the only thing to do would
be to try Grape-Nuts, 20 l got some
and prepared it as follows: soaked
III tablespoonfuls in one pint Of cold
water for half an hour, then strained
off the liquid and mixed II teaspoonfuls
of this strained GrapeNuts juice with
six teaspoonfuls of rich milk, put in
pinch of salt and a little sugar, warmed
1t and gave it to baby every two hours.
I'm this simple, easy way | saved
baby's life and have built her up to a
strong, healthy child, rosy and laughing.
The food must certainly be perfect to
have such a wonderful effect as this. /
can truthfully say think it is the best
food in the world to raise delicate babies
on and is also delicious, healthful food
for grown-ups, as we have discovered in

Grape-Nuts is equally valuable to the
strong, healthy man or woman.
Grape Nuts food stands for the true
