A month after the melon season was

How One Producer Disposed OF Hi

Profit.

Before beginning to ship We made
arrangements with commission firm
to handle our whole crop, says an 1lli-
nois gardener. We told them about
how many baskets we expected to have
and how we would grade and mark
them. This arrangement proved much
more satisfactory than shipping to half
1 dozen or more firms, as had been our
previous custom.
MY experience the past season con-
Arms the belief that the way to make
money out Of melon growing Is to
build up q reputation for shipping
GOOD goods and have your own brand

had goods in every shipment that sold
at the highest price. This result was
secured by holding up the quality. AS

IS AN ASSET in MINING

Fairview, New, Nov. 1.-THE recent
visit of Miss Florence Coche to Fair
view, recalls to mind the name in
which she became the owner of some
valuable mining property here, which
she had never seen until this trip. Miss
Roche lives at Grimes ranch. and 1t was
there that she became acquainted with
George Bertchy, who made frequent
stops when going to and from Fairview
in December and January, at the time
he and Norton were the sole pilgrims to
this present mecca of the gold hunters.
AS assistant hostess of the Grimes
ranch, which is famous for it's hospital
ity, and as well known as the overland
stage road, this young lady so impressed
Mr.. Bertchy with her womanly graces
that he located for her the Sunlight
claim, one of the best known in the dis
trict. and one that may prove to be
worth thousands of dollars.
As a further testimony to her charm
ing personality Harry Jamison named
for Miss Roche the Florence claims, one
of which was bought by the evada
Hills, and the other being purchased by
DIR. Caldwell, of Colorado Springs, who
turned it over to the Nevada Hills Flor

And so it was that an amiable young
lady acquired a small fortune through
friendships, and has her name linked
indelibly with the future of this great
camp; for the Nevada Hills Florence

lumber for laying the tracks in the new
shaft. On the 700 level the drift is be-

The face of the west drift in the main

in spots but will assay SIS clean across
the face of the ledge.
The development work on the Pitts

in gold and about 20 ounces in silver.
On the Belmont Johnnie the vein in

has been no change noted.
The Battery mines just north of the
Johnnie Consolidated are yielding good
milling ore. The ledge still continues
to maintain its strength and Superin-
tendent Simmons is still hunting for
the rich vein that ne expects to find if
the formation in his property is the
same as in the Johnnie Consolidated.
The McClanahan mines on Mineral
