In Time of Peace.

In the first months of the Russia-Japan
war we had a striking example OF the
necessity for preparation and the early
advantage of those who, so to speak,
have shingled their roofs in dry
weather. The virtue OF preparation
has made history and given to us our
greatest men. The Individuals well as
the nation should be prepared for any
emergency. Areyou prepared to success
fully combat the first cold you take? A
cold can be cured much more quickly
when treated as soon as 1t has been con-
tracted and before it has become settled
in the system. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is famous for its cures OF colds
and it should he kept at hand ready for

MILL FOR Ida QUEEN PROPERTY

A 10-stamp mill has been purchased
in San Francisco for the Ida Queen
property at Lid and is due to arrive IN
about ten days. A large tonnage OF
shipping grade rock is piling up on the
leases of Austin, Pruty and Rule, and
Wilson. but is to be held until such
time os the plant is in operation when
regular shipments will follow. Twenty
three sets of ~lessees are operating on
the estate under favorable conditions,
but so far the better showing has been
made on the leases referred to, which
are located on the Contact claim.
On the Glover-Monahan claims copper
values as high as 80 per cent are being
secured and the rock also carries a fair
average in gold. The shat is being
sunk on the ledge and as 1t is deepened
the quartz is becoming more compact.

confidence in the future permanency of
the ore bodies of the district. III pro-
gress of work on the Paymaster is be-
ing watched with very general interest
by mining men of camp and the APP
pearance of silver in association with
gold is viewed with great satisfaction.
The Paymaster estate is being devel-
oped by three sets of l~easers, ali of
which are extracting a very consider
able tonnage of shipping ore. On the
Johnson lease a depth of SO feet has
been attained. 1t is in this shat that
the silver values have been found. The
character of the ore is rapidly changing
fro ma silicious limestone to a perfect
quartz. Samples of the ore show large
splotches of ruby silver.
The Sullivan lease, at a depth of so
feet, is in a good body of ore. From a
cross sample taken on the ledge one and
one-half feet wide, values running SOS
in gold were obtained.
The Herman Johnson lease is down
% feet and working on a ledge S feet
wide. IN average sample taken at the
bottom showed values of $50.
There are % men working on the
property at the present time. The man
agement of the company is going to
start sinking a shaft next Monday and
the payroll will be materially increased.
About zoo sacks of shipping ore are
on the dumps awaiting shipment.
1t is interesting to note that picked
specimens taken on this property have
shown by assay tests, silver and gold
contents running $4,000 to tn eton.
YELLOW HORSE
Leasers operating on block No. 3 of
the Yellow Horse, are opening up sys-
tematically an immense body of milling
ore. Sinking is under way on the
hanging wall of a vein that shows at
surface a width of 80 feet. This entire
ore body contains milling values; a two-
foot shoot showing in the shaft carries
gold contents of from $50 to SIS per
, ton. A recent sample across this por-
ton of the ledge CAV returns of S16 in
gold. The shaft, which is now 20 feet
deep, will be continued to a depth of 90
feet, where a crosscut will be extended
to prove the width and value of the en-
tire lead. This unusually wide ledge
has been traced for 500 feet across the
yellow Horse claim and shows values
its entire length.
The management is equipping the
property with a blacksmith shop and
other surface improvements. Plans
have been perfected for letting a con-
tract for the sinking of a deep COM
partment working shaft. From surface
prospecting it has been proved that the
great Annie Laurie vein traverses the
Yellow Horse ground and work will be
prosecuted on company account to open
the continuation of the same, which Is
