The mines at Tonopah are richer than

Some of the ore from the Jumbo goes as

both of the camps will be greater than
ever before as more men will be employed
and many more mines will open up"

understood Mr.. Gum in one particular.

Goldfeld this week has made tremend-
Gus strides in development and in estab-
fishing herself as a producer Team after
team has left here this week with sacked
ore and yet you cannot miss 1t from the
ore dumps.
The Florence is still producing high
grade ore, as is the CcInbination, Jumbo
and January.
At two places in Diamondfield this
week ore was uncovered. On the Daisy
claim the assay ran ST, 1885, to the ton.
On the Vernal No. | a strike of great
Importance Was made and in the quartz
could be seer great quantities of large
gold stringers.
On the Vermilyea lease on the Jumbo
they are taking the loose dirt and putting
it in coal oil cans and shipping it, Mr..
Vermilyea had an assay made from a
sample taken and the returns showed a
value of over So 5000 to the ton!
A number Of new leases were made on
the Mohawks that lie between the Com
bination and the Red Top, and in "A short
time no doubt we will hear of rich ore

Our advice is to buy Red Top, as it is
in the center of this rich zone. The
stock will be worth many dollars a share
in a short time.
We take pleasure in submitting to II
clients stock in the Jumbo and Vernal

IA large fraction between the Jumbo and
the Red Top; a claim joining the st. Ives

this stock at 10 cents and are sure that
you will make money by getting some of

There is deep interest in Green

daughter OF l. n. Whipkey Of Rbeuma-

or elk years and nothing seemed to do
hei any good till she tried Dodd's Kid

can run and play as other children do.
Mr.. Whipkey, says:
"I am indeed thankful for what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my
daughter; they saved her from being 2
cripple perhaps for life"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved
that Rheumatism is one Of the results
OF diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is

the Kidneys are right there can be no

ly no Rheumatism. Dodd's Kidney

Dish Originated in San Francisco and
Not in China.
II people can be required to pay roy
alties on gold teeth that they have
worn for years, and on driven wells
from which their fathers have drunk
before them, there would seem to be
no reason why they might not have to
pay them on copyrighted dishes which
they have long ago eaten and digested,
says the New York Mail. There Is &
San Francisco Chinaman in town who
claims to have a copyright on the dish
called chop suey, and he wants his
back royalties as well as his front
ones.
1t must be explained first of all, that
chop suey is not Chinese dish. This
is no news even to amateur Oriental
lists. but probably 1t is to the average
American citizen. 1t is a San Fran
cisco invention, or rather adaptation;
1t is an Irish stew translated into Chi
nese for purely occidental degusta ton.
Wits it's usual black ignorance OF ORR
entail ways, the American public ac-
cepted it at once as the Chinese ma
tional dish, upon which the son OF
heaven and his imperial household are
supposed to dine every day. Even
American officials were surprised when
Prince Pu Lun blsndly inquired in
Chinatown the other day: what is
chop suey?"
Oriental OF occidental. It is a good
dish. Il constitutes a ration in which
a nice balance has been reached be

between protein and mere bulk. II
Mr.. Lem Sen. OF San Francisco. can
establish his copyright on the use Of
the dish for the future. he may become
a millionaire. honorably and usefully
