Duplicating Eastern Success

The new shoe house of Burns &
Farnsworth, South Broadway, is fast
coming to the front as one of the lead
ing stores, making a speciality of foot
wear. In this case there is a good rea-
son for the success already attained
and as it is the only store of the kind
in the world it's future success is as
sured when one takes into considera-
ton the manner in which Burns &,
Farnsworth shoes are made and sold.
Mr.. Burns came to Los Angeles from
New York, where for years he was
prominently identified with the shoe
business, for two-fold purpose, first
to enjoy the glorious climate; secondly,
to establish a shoe house that would
at once challenge competition and give
to patrons full value for every cent ex-
pended. This he has done by placing
on sale shoes that ordinarily retail for
from So to 81 at the one price of $3.50.
The Burns & Farnsworth shoe house
is the only firm in the United States
that buys it's own leather and has all
of its shoes made to order on specially
selected lasts These three features
are all in the shoe business, for it
means quality, style and lowest price.

BLACK DIAMOND DRILLS
TO BE USED IN MOHAWK
FRANK A. MCDONALD LEADER IN
ENTERPRISE
Diamonds for Drill Now on the Way
from Brazil-Total Cost Will Be
$14o0-Quick Action Now for the
yellow Metal

Frank A. M.Donald, the we'll known
mine owner and operator of Los An
geles, is the leader in the use OF the
diamond drill in the quest of gold in the
rich fields of Nevada.
Early in the new year Mr.. Mcdonald
will install diamond drill on the Mo-
hawk, jr., property at Goldfield. The
drill is on the way to the camp, and the
diamonds which will encircle the end of
the bit have arrived from Brazil. There
are eight of them, and they are of the
black variety. Each is about three
fourths of a karat and in the rough.
With them came bill for $1400.
Reinforced with these the drill, it is
claimed. will be capable of boring to a
depth of 1000 feet through the hardest
kind of formation. By this means
mineral land can be thoroughly pros
pected to q great depth without sink
ing shafts and driving drifts. The
black diamond is the hardest stone
known, and If it came to a case of
diamond cut diamond the white variety
would not be in it for minute.
The gems which are to be imbedded
in the drill are rough and jagged; fea-
lures which add to their effectiveness.
The fine hard points of the stones are
said never to show the effects of con-
tinued contact with the hardest forma-
tions.
The drill to be installed on the Mo-
hawk, jr, property will be driven by a
twelve-horse power gasoline engine
Mr.. Mcdonald says the device will
revolutionize mining methods in Ne
Vada.

and all that we want first and last is
more life. The body, formed as it is of
millions of molecules and electros
Of matter in motion, may be compared
to a beautiful musical instrument
capable when normal of registering
certain vibrations and expressing
them. The mind is the player and
seeks continually to evoke beautiful
melodies only to find that from time to
time some chord is out of tune. Now,
however perfect the player may be, if
the instrument be not kept in perfect
tune the music will not be harmon
ious, and the keys will not properly
respond to his touch. Now just in the
same way that the thought in the
player acting throug his fingers mod
ulates certain tones and adds en-
phasis to others, giving expression and
feeling, so does thought controlled by
the mind play upon the brain cells,
throwing them into vibration and trav-
ersing the electric wires of the ner-
vous system, literally throw the whole
body into a changed rate of vibration.

a condition of inharmonious vibration

Searchlight is located on a beautiful

in course of time, the ideal "City of

of the operating mines, which have
made the district famous in past years,
and in the center of what is known as
the Flat" where developments and
discoveries Of much importance are of
almost daily occurrence.
Mining Camp Real Estate
The fortunes made by the rapid and
consistent increase in the value of real
estate in successful mining camps are
items of popular history. Instances Of
this fact are numerous in all parts of
the mining world, but nowhere more
striking than in the state of Nevada.
The past two years the population at
Tonopah and Goldfield has grown from
a handful of prospectors to between
10000 and $4,000 people; lots which
originally sold for a few hundred dol
lars are now valued at $4,000 to $4,000.
Poor men have become rich, and rich
men become millionaires. Similar con-
ditions now prevail in Searchlight as
obtained some years ago in older
camps Valuable discoveries are of
frequent occurrence, the fame of the
camp is attracting people from all
parts of the country and capital is
abundantly forthcoming for the de-
velopnent of the mines and the rail-
road is on the eve of completion.
simultaneously with the advent of the
railroad appreciation of values cannot
fail to equal that which made men
rich in Tonopah, Goldfield and other
mining camps, and investors in the
real estate of the Searchlight Terminal

velopment must inevitably reap hand

fight rested between the city and Ascot

the representatives of the track to tie
the case up in the superior court so
that it would drag along until next
spring, when the season for racing VIII
close.
Suit Dismissed
With that idea in view four postpone
ments were obtained in the higher
court, but Friday morning the case was
scratched from the docket before Judge
James in department seven of the su-
perior court, and the future OF ASCOT
for the remainder of the season was
assured.
IT did not know anything of the dis
missal of the suit until Friday mornlng
a few minutes before it came up for
hearing" said Judge James. Il was
then told that the suit had been WIN,
drawn and that ii had been scratched
from the records of the county clerk.
Since the suit had ceased to exist there
was only one thing to do, and that was
to scratch it from the calendar"
A few days ago the concession by
which the withdrawal of the suit was
made possible was granted in an under
starding between city authorities ana
Ascotites, to the effect that II the track
men would withdraw the suit attack
ing the validity of the election, the city
authorities would allow the track to re-

THE SCIENTIFIC
BASISOF HEALING
BY PROF. ALYMER HARDING

The following words from Science
of Health" written by Bishop Samuel
Fallows, president of the Reformed
Episcopal church of Chicago are worth
quoting and should cause investigation,
coming as they do from an orthodox
source and from the pen of gifted
writer: I'VE are in sight of the law of
health and disease and crime, and we
see it, not by faith or through mysti-
cism or symbolism, but through the
medium of verified facts, which are
conquerors of scientific knowledge, and
the study of this law comes within the
province of strictest scientific research.
There are two methods of regulating
the mind in an organism-first by vary
ing the environment condition and the
bodily conditions of the organism, and
thus bringing about notifications of
the mental activities; and second, by
causing the organism voluntarily to
vary it's own mental activities, and thus
change it's bodily structures and Its
chemisms and environments.
Broadly speaking there are two great
classes of people in the world, those
who seek to accomplish social changes
by appeals.to the individual, and those
who would merely change their en-
vironment. Occasionally we find souls
great enough to perceive the need of
the changed character and environment
to accomplish real world betterment,
but in the main most Of us belong to
either class and unduly emphasize one
side or the other. Because of this we
have in our midst such movements as
Christian Science, new thought stud
ents, mental scientists and gospel evan
gelists and those representing the ex-
ternal side of life who would seek to
modify environments in systems of
single tax, cooperative enterprises,
socialism, government or municipal
ownership and the like. All of them
are right. Bishop Fallows has, how
ever, struck a true note, revealing a
breadth of mind and grasp Of subject,
uncommon in these days of fads, cults
and fanatical propaganda inseparable
from the present condition of social
11nreSt
