This company has been just brought
into existence by Messrs Davis, LOTUS
and Moss. The property consists of the
Lens No. / and Lena No. 2. at Fairview,
for which big money has been paid. The
ground lies close in and is said to be one
of the most promising prospects in the
new camp. Mr.. Moss is now on the
ground and has begun line of develop
ment. High grade values have been
found at various points. and there is a
reasonable probability that in few
weeks a producing mine will be opened
up. No stock in the corporation has yet
been offered.

In January of the present year Harry
Stimler and H. Jagels, the latter one of
the earliest pioneers Of that section,
located a number of claims in Palmetto,
and organized the Palmetto and Death
Valley Mining company. Their terri
tory consisted of the following claims:
Golden Gate, Mary, Warsaw, Daisy,
Burlington, Tonopah No. and the
Raleigh and Columbus fractions
with three claims in Death Valley.
These properties were leased as fast as
the company could find men to take
them UP. The plan of leasing every
other hundred feet was adopted and
early in the game a marked preference
was shown for the Golden Gate claim.
The first big strike was made on the
Warsaw claim on April 22. Messrs,
Mauli and Cornell who had been sinking
in the presence of good milling values
ran a tunnel into the face of the hill,
and at the 170-foot mark encountered
the ledge which had widened out and
showed greater values. Mauli had as
SAYS made which showed the following
results: $3.50, s1,2S159, s1,272.S2 in
gold and a small amount of silver. AS
the recent history of Palmetto seems,
despite the activity in other quarters.

these leasers we cannot do better than

ATLANrA,s aooD PRosPEcr

Considerable satisfaction is felt at
the offices of the Atlanta Mining COM
pany because, while slight decline has
been noticeable among medium grade
stocks, Atlanta has advanced from II
to 22. The added strength is apparently
caused by local buyers. At the work
ings a depth has been reached of 81
feet. Four men are working and more
will be added. The ST. Ives ledge ap-
pears more surely than ever to be dip
ping into Atlanta ground.

A contract has been let and work
started to sink a 50-foot shaft on the
National No. of the Goldfield Burling-
ton company. Considerable prospecting
work has been done on this claim with
excellent indications and the company
decided to sink on one of the promising
leads opened at surface.

noeEHs LEASE ON FLORENCE

A report comes from Foreman Conk-
lin, of the Rogers lease on the Flor
ence mine, that, at the 165-foot level
four-foot ledge has been encountered
which carries very good milling values.
The scene at the Florence mine has
much the appearance of bee hive.
Something rich is expected soon.

follow their movements. The strike of
Mauli and Cornell was sufficient to send
the other leasers at it with renewed vim
and the place soon became the scene of
the greatest activity.
1t was not a great while before the
Howard and Walters lease upon attain
ing a depth of AZ feet reached two
foot ledge which they stripped for
thirty feet 1t is said that this widens
with depth and that there is very little
waste matter, 1t being nearly all good
shipping ore. Members of B. J. Reilly's
party which returned from Palmetto on
Tuesday state that the ore on this
lease will average 5000 and that there is
perhaps IL tons of it on the dump and
200 sacks in pile. Apparently the first
shipment will be from this lease.
Dr. W. K. Robinson who is an inter-
ested party will leave for Palmetto on
Saturday with, as he puts 1T, "a con-
signment of sacks.'
Adjoining this to the east is the
Franks Nesbith and Devlin lease. Here
a whip has been installed and sinking
carried to a depth of 104 feet. At the
15-foot mark the ledge was encountered
which seems to be distinct from that
found on the Howard and Walters
ground. The shaft was sunk on an in
cline following the hanging wall of this
ledge for distance of nearly 80 feet.

On the Diamondfield Triangle a ledge

ceptionally bright on this property.

aken from Sunken ship, Now Used
to Announce Good News.
The bell used to insure silence at
Lloyd's when the arrival of an over
due vessel is announced to the anx
ious underwriters is of naval origin.
1t belonged to the Lutine, which was
wrecked near the Zuyder Zee toward
the end of the eighteenth century,
when we were at war with Holland.
AS 1t was customary in those days to
send bullion and specie by men-of-war,
the Lutine carried a valuable consign.
ment of specie, and the underwriters
at Lloyd's were able to arrange with
the Dutch government to salve the
cargo and recoup themselves for their
loss on insurance. Over ESQ, 900 ster.
ling was recovered, and amongst
other relics brought to shore was the
Lutine's bell, to ring out good cheer
for anxious underwriters who hear
the safe arrival proclaimed by Lloyds
crier as silence follows the ringing OF
the bell.-London Tit-Bits

HE WAS GOODNESS ITSELF.
Philosopher Gives Practical Demon

Pet Theory.

Perhaps there never was a man who
so thoroughly believed in taking things
eoolly as Mr.. Bulteel. The disadyan-

rush, no matter what circumstance
might arise, was the never failing text
upon which he hung many and many
an improving discourse, says London

But, us so often happens, Mr.. Bu'-

yorite theory into practice had been
few, until one hateful night when he
and his wife were aroused from their
midnight slumber by the dread cry.
"Fire!"
He was GOODNESS itself.
MY dear" he said calmly to his
wife, the time has come when we VIII
find in practice the value OF what
have always preached. Dress yourself
| quickly, but keep cool"
In tense silence they busted them
selves in the operation of quick but
unhurried dressing. Then Mr. Bulteei
slipped his watch into his waistcoai
pocket, and they walked safely out Of
the burning building.
There, my DEAR" he said to his
wife, when the danger was over, "yor
see the great value of my philosophy
of GOODNESS. Now, if we had lost oul
beads"
His wife glanced at him for the frs
time since the alarm had been given.

SIEGE COST $4,000 LIVES.
Persian Town Beset by Arabs Re
duced in Population to
That Extent.

Leland Buxton, who has returned
from a tour of several months in the
Persian gulf and in the Yemen, visited
Sana, which was recently besieged by
the rebel Arabs, says the London Tele-
graph. He states that he found Sana
to be practically depopulated, having
been reduced from population of $1,000
to something like 10000, as result Of
the famine during the Arab siege. The
Jews suffered terribly during this pc
Rod, and almost the whole town is de-
serted. Sana, which, so far as he knows,
has only been visited by few English
men, has magnificent and large build
ings, covered with decorations, and the
town is surrounded by mud walls. On
his way to the capital MIR. Buxton found
villages had been destroyed by the
Turkish artillery, and that great por-
ton of the route to Sana was entirely
depopulated. Large numbers of skele-
tons and skulls marked the route.
The siege of Sana was attended b.
terrible suffering and starvation, and
cannibalism occurred both among the
Arabs and the Turks. The people were
reduced to terrible straits, and one
Turk himself admitted that he had
killed and eaten three Arabs. The dogs.
which are a characteristic feature of
most eastern towns, had disappeared,
both they and the cats having been
used as food. The only European in
Sana is an Italian trader, who was in
4Ia D1ona thrOu phOuf the ciaop and who
has lived there for 20 years.

Queer Things About Location Of
Houses and Graves In China.
The abandonment of cities. town or
localities illustrates the peculiar influ.
ence among the Chinese of their geo.
mancers, or earth DOCTORS" as they
call them. These fortune tellers. with
a great deal of rigmarole, pass upon
the luck or unfavorableness of a spot

which to build house or dig a grave.
says the Chautauquan.
The entire city of Pekin was moved
by the first emperor of the Mongol
dynasty because his earth Doctors
told him that bad luck was associated
with the old site and that If he wish.
ed to establish his dynasty, he must
build a new capital The modern city
of Pekin was the result. And so the
cities and towns ravaged by the Taip

recovered because the Chinese beliey
ed that their luck had been spoiled
and the population has built new

Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or
fifty thousand dollars to be covered by
a like amount from them, or any one OF
them, and if there was ever one ounce
of old bread or any other ingredient
different than our selected wheat and
harley with a little salt and yeast used
in the making of Grape-Nuts, we VIII
lose the money.
Our pure food factories are open at all
times to visitors, and thousands pass
through each month, inspecting every
department and every process. Our rae
tories are so clean that one could, with
good relish, eat meal from the noors.
The work people, both men and wom-
en-. are of the highest grade in the state
of Michigan, and according to the state
labor reports, are the highest paid in
| the state for similar work.
Let us tell you exactly what you will
see when you inspect the manufacture OF
| Grape-Nuts. You will find tremendous
elevators containing the choicest wheat
and barley possible to buy. These
grains are carried through long convey
ers to grinding mills, and there convert
ed into -four. Then the machines make
| selection of the proper quantities of this
| -four in the proper proportion and these
1 parts are blended into general four
which passes over to the big dough mix
ing machines, there water, salt and lit
| tie yeast are added and the dough knead-
ed the proper length of time.
Remember that previous to the barley
| having been ground it was passed
| through about one hundred hours OF
soaking in water, then placed on warm
floors and slightly sprouted, developing
| the Ciastase in the barley, which changes
the starch in the grain into form OF
sugar.
Now after we have passed it into
| dough and it has been kneaded long
enough, it is moulded by machinery into
loaves about Is inches long and or 6
| inches in diameter. 1t is put into this
shape for convenience in second cooking.
These great ioaves are sliced by ma
ehinery and the slices placed on wire
trays, these trays, in turn, placed on great
steel trucks, and rolled into the second
ryovens, each perhaps rs or so feet long
There the food is subjected to long low
heat and the starch which has not been
heretofore transformed is turned into q
form of sugar generally known as Posi-
Sugar. 1t can be seen glistening on the
granules of Grape-Nuts if held toward
the light, and this sugar is not poured
over or put on the food as these preyari-
Gators ignorantly assert. On the con.
trary the sugar exudes from the interior
of each little granule during the process
of manufacture, and reminds one of the
little white particles of sugar that come
out on the end of hickory log after
1t has been sawed Of and allowed t
stand for length of time.
This Post Sugar is the most digestiblt

THIRD PASTURE.

Now we come to a frisky lot, the
Labor Union" editors. You know
down in Texas a weed called
LOCO" is sometimes eaten by a
steer and produces a arrangement
of the brain that makes the steer
"batty" or crazy. Many Of these
editors are "Locoed" from hate OF
anyone who will not instantly obey
the demands" of labor union,
and it is the universal habit Of such
writers to go straightinto system
of personal vilifcation, manufac-
turing any sort of falsehood
through which to vent their spleen.
We assert that the common citizen
has right to live and breathe air
without asking permission Of the
labor trust and this has brought
down on us the hate of these edi-
tors. When they go far enough
with their libels, is it harsh for us
20 get Judgment against them and
have our lawyers watch for
chance to attach money due them
from others? (For they are usual
