fruit.
A copper preserving pan is pest,
but, failing that, cast iron enameleo
stewpan does excellently. Tin pans
should be avoided, as they spoil the
color of the jam.
The preserving pan should not Dc
more than three parts full at the most

will be bad color.
If the preserving pan is at all tnln
place it on a trivet over the IRE, ano
not directly on the fire.
Skim the jam well and often.
When the jam begins to get decided
ly less, and to change color, pour
little onto a plate and let it get cold;
if it then forms jelly it is done.
Pour the jam into clean, perfectly
dry Jars and when they are cold cover
them with parchment paper.

WORLDS FOR EXPLORERS

Notwithstanding the rapid advance of
exploration in various parts of the globe
a recent estimate by a member of the
American Geographical 1ociety shows
that no less than 100000 square miles
of the earth's surface yet remains unex-
plored
The largest unexplored area is in
Africa, 6,5oo,ooo square miles, but even
North America contains 100000 square
miles of virgin territory. 1t is surprising
TO learn that there is three times as
much land awaiting the foot of the pio-
neer in North American as in South
American.

MANHATTAN HAS MADE GOOD

Developments of the past fortnight
on the Stray Dog and Indian Camp
mines at Manhattan have been the most
important in the history of the district,
proving, as they have, beyond all ques-
ton the tremendous enrichment of the
ore bodies of the camp below the water
level, generally considered the ques-
tionable zone, and assuring beyond all
cavil the permanency of the mines of
the camp" Thus spoke e. E. Stuart,
one of the leading mining authorities of
the west, who has been engaged exten-
sively in mining and in the installation
of an immense water project in Manhat-
tan during the past year. Mr.. Stuart is
visiting Goldfeld for a few days.
Continuing, Mr.. Stuart said: "A visit
through the Stray Dog will astonish the
visitor who is not prepared to view i'm
mense bodies of tremendously rich ship
ping ore and even greater bodies of rich
milling matter. In the winze below the
100-foot level of the property there is
revealed from 16 to 20 inches or ore
that for the distance in length now
opened up has yielded not an assay be-
low $500 per ton, with general aver
age of $4,000 to $4,000 per ton in gold
contents. Such a showing is seldom

state. and it is doubtful IL the Mohawk
or Combination of Goldfield can surpass
it for high grade. Under the aggressive
plan of development being prosecuted on
this great mining estate. and on the In
dian Camp and Jumping Jack. these bo-
nanzas will soon class with the leading
properties of the southern part of Ne
veda, and the part they will play in the
production of gold will add immeasur-
ably to the prestige of the state. The
rich contents of the Stray Dog are being
sacked as broken down and shipment
that will bring astonishment to the
mining world will go forward in a short
time. Then the truth concerning the
richness of Manhattan district will be
more forcibly brought to the attention
of the investing public, and with further
development and the distribution of
dividends, the district will forge ahead
to the position it deserves among the
greatest producing areas of the west.

BIG STRIKE AT BUCKSKIN
ON JACK BELL co. LEASE

Buckskin, New, Dec. 20.-The sensa-
tion of the district is the big strike
by the Jack Bell Gold Mining company,
on the Red Top ground-the original
discovery of the camp. This lease has
been in operation for some time, and has
had all kinds of handicaps. 1t has been
almost an impossibility to secure mater
ial to do the necessary work. The shaft
was sunk to the 63 foot mark, where
sinking had to be discontinued on ac-
count of lack of timbers. The lease
was sunk on a Is foot vein of ore that
gave sensational paintings on the sur
face-the ore stood in the shaft for
3S feet, and panned and assayed in the
pictures. After crosscutting for dis
tance of 19 feet the ore was discov-
ered-the rock showed free gold when
struck. and was full of sulphides that
gave shipping returns-the crosscut
was continued to the hanging wall and
the ore now measures 32 feet in width.
Four feet from the hanging wall and
lying against it was found copper
vein that was sacking ore when struck
red oxides and rock alive with native
copper was found-silver copper returns
of 5000 per ton. Picked samples assay
better than $4,000 in gold. The great
est excitement prevails here and men
are daily arriving and examining the
great strike and all say that it is the
biggest thing that has ever been seen
in the northern part of the state since
the old Comstock days-the company's
representatives here are beseiged with
applications for shares.

improves There is no longer any doubt
about the future of this bonanza mine,
and with adequate milling facilities,
which are to be constructed early in the
spring. the property will enter upon an
era of production that will direct the
attention of the entire country to Man
haitian and provide profits for stock
holders for years to come.
Manhattan is fast emerging from the
lethargy that overlook the camp after
the San Francisco disaster" continued
Mr.. Stuart. Extensive mine develop
ments have been prosecuted insistently
in spite of the depression of the sum-
mer, and no section of the state can
boast of a better or more assuring
showing. Splendid bodies OF ore are be-
ing opened up on all sides. and the
proved area now extends for at least five
miles in length and two miles in width,
or approximately twice the extent of
Goldfield. All over this vast territory
magnificent mines are being developed,
and another three months will mark the
inception of Manhattan's real growth
and prosperity. The extraordinarily
important developments on the Stray
Dog and Indian Camp will be, in great
measure. responsible for this new order
of events"
