has also been sunk on what is believed
to be another and distinct ore shoot. Here
eight inches of ore has been found as
saying $3.50 ton, and five feet that
shows $40.
The Juniper has shaft down 100 feet.
The vein that started at six inches is
now reported to be twenty feet wide, with
ore running s25 to s400.
Actual beginning of the extensive work
planned for the Eclipse group on Copper
mountain took place a week ago. Dep
uty Mineral Surveyor l.. T. Henderson
and corps of assistants have gone to
the property to make a preliminary sur
vey. A permanent camp will be estab-
lished at once, and the machinery and
material for mining will be forwarded
and placed In position as fast as the rail-

Adjoining this group on the east is the
Santa Fe, and on the south is the Cyrus

from the grass roots down. and thorough
development will produce big results. it
is believed.
The Quartette mine at Searchlight is
expected to commence shipping ore to
the smelter this week. About $50 tons will
be shipped each month If expectations
are realized, only such ore as comes from
development on the lower levels being

ing smelling ore and Is getting better
with depth is taken as another indication
of the permanency of the Searchlight
district, which is showing at its best, at
a depth where SO many camps played out

EDITORIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Editor Of the searohIight Remarks
as Below

There is no question but what Search
light is destined to become one of the
greatest mining districts ever discovered.
1t smines are many and the output of
bullion is increasing each month. In the
annals of mining its history is without
a parallel. For over seven years Search
light pursued the even tenor of its ways,
unmindful Of outside publicity, intent
only on opening up and developing its re-
sources. True this peaceful state of af-
fairs has not been the wish of the ma
jority, rather the will of the ruling
minority. But this conservative policy
has resulted for the best, for today, now
Searchlight has a solid foundation on
which to stand; 1t has the showings to
Justify the rush" "Searchlight is re-
freshing experience after a trip through
many other districts where more mining
is done on paper than in the ground"

HOW Upton STOPPED ROYAL
NOSE FROM BLEEDING.

Mrs Langtry, In the days when her
beauty was something to rave over,
chilled forever the friendship of the
Ring-then Prince of wales-by
rlayfully dropping chunk of Ice
down his back. But Sir Thomas Lip
ton the other day applied II bunch OF
cold keys to his majesty's spinal coll
umn, and far from offending his ex-
alted notions of dignity. only increas-
cd the esteem which the king feels for
him.
An interesting story hangs thereby.
The divinity that hedges about the
king affords him no protection from
the common ailments of humanity.
For the last six months he has suf-
fered from frequent outbreaks Of nose
bleeding, and on occasions too. when
the consequences were peculiarly EN-
barrassing and awkward,
More than once he has been oblig-
ed to beat hasty and anything but
dignified retreat from a house party
dinner table with handkerchief clap
clans, who might easily have checked
a more distressing malady, were un-
able to stop ii.
4 few days ago the king was dining
with Sir Thomas Upton when the
royal nose began to spout again as
though it had been tapped by prize
fighters fist, and the royal brow grew
clouded.
"If your majesty will permit me, I
think I can stop IT," said the baronet
Go ahead and try" said the king,
and If you succeed 1t will prove that
you are cleverer man than any of
my own doctors"
1t was then that Sir Thomas drop
ped n bunch of keys down the royal
back and the nose bleeding soon ceas-
ed. The king was profuse in his ex-
pressions of gratitude.
THE credit belongs to my mother"
said Sir Thomas "She has stopped
my nose bleeding that way many a
time"
If the Jersey Lily had only waited
until the kings nose bled to drop
that chunk of ice down his back she
might still be standing high in the
royal favor.

DEMAND FOR MULES.

The demand for mules in the inland
empire has become so insistent that
many farmers have gone into the bus
mess of raising mules for the market.
says the Walla Walla Union. During
the last year thousands of these much
priced work animals have been ship
ped from the east to supply the ever
increasing demand.
Recently many of the shrewd stock
and cattle men of the state have sold
out of the cattle and horse raising
business and are now devoting their
time to the mule industry exclusively.
The Drumheller-Le Grow company
recently bought a band of 900 choice
mares and have started to raise
mules for the market on a large
scale on their immense ranch in the
Crab creek country.
Other prominent stockmen In the
northwest are beginning to enter this
most profitable industry and within q
decade the northwest will be one of
the biggest mule markets in the
United States.

The Oregon Daily Journal. in COM
menting on the question of railroad
and franchise assessment in Oregon,
says:
The question of railroad assessment
should be considered. and some plan
of uniformity adopted. 1t is not right
for a railroad to be assessed 10000 or
$4,000 4 mile in one county and only
$4,000 or $4,000 mile in another. So
with respect to the taxation of fran
chises, there should be concert of ac-
tion among assessors OF counties con-
tanning large towns. Very likely the
next Legislature will pass a law pro-
viding for the taxation of certain
franchises, as we think it should. but
until then it is a question how far as
SCISSORS can legally go or how far they
should go In this matter.

THE LATEST FADS IN JEWELS.

Leslie's Weekly. Unless you are a

probably. What is a tourmaline?"
1t is a semi-precious stone and one
of the most beautiful that come out
of the ground. It is a rival of the
ruby in color, but wears much better,
approaching the diamond in hard
ness. Unlike the ruby, however, the
tourmaline has the greatest variety
Of tints of any gem. It's various spec
linens have shades of black, white
green, yellow, red and pink. Some of
the specimens OF the gem are like en-

A grateful mother, in the following
letter, tells of another of those mar

my baby was four months old her
skin broke out with humor. I took
her to doctor, who said it was
eczema. lie gave ME medicine to
give her, but she kept getting worse
all the time. Her little face and body
were SO covered with sores and large
scales you could not tell what she
looked like. No child ever had a
worse case. Her face was being eaten
away, and even her finger nails fell
off. Then it itchod so she could not
sleep, and for many weary nights we
could get no rest. At last we got

bathing her in warm water with the
Soap, and then spreading on the Oint-
mcnt with soft cloths. l saw n change
in a week. The sores began to heal,
and she could sleep at night, and in
one month she had not one sore on
her face or body. Any mother hav-
ing children with eczema or humors
will find friend in Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. (signed) Mrs. Mary

The foregoing statement justifcs
the oft-repeated assertion that Cuti-
