BIG MACHINERY FOR
COMBINATION FRACTION

The hoist ordered for the Burns Lease
Unc.) on the Combination Fraction has
arrived and when The News representa-
tive visited the lease this week the men
were busy setting up the gallows frrme
and preparing the foundation for The en-
gine. For several weeks past the work
has been stalled owing to this change of
equipment and the lessees have been
obliged to prosecute dead work entirely.
The shaft has been squared up and tim
bered and the surface ground improved.
In another week, however, they will be
after the ore in good shape. Consider
able time still remains on the contract
and that this will be one of the big pro-

GOOD MINING ON
GoLDFIELD GOLD BAR

On Tuesday a News representative
visited the Gold Bar and went down the
spacious shaft. The timbers through
out are SKIS and the whole thing is de-
signed for big work. The station on the
20O-foot level is probably the largeet in
the camp. 1t is all in ore. The shaft
was sunk right into an enormous ledge
of f1inty quartz which is all of mill
ing grade. Two drifts are being run in
the ledge and a crosscut. The machine
drills are still in use and are giving
great satisfaction.
The leasers are all working along en-
ergetically and nearly all have encour-
aging showings.

SURPRISINGLY RICH
ORE FROM oDDIE LEASE

One of the finest specimens ever taken
from the Mohawk or any Goldfield prop
erty was this week exhumed in the Od-
die lease. The Oddie has long been one
of the richest blocks of Mohawk ground
and many rich kidneys of quartz carry
ing free gold have been found; this new
specimen, however, surpasses them ALL
1t is about pounds in weight and is
plastered thick with gold. The new
find is in the south crosscut. The winze
is about SO feet deep and is looking ex-
ceptionally good. The shipments this
week up to Thursday night have been
70 tons.

LEASE ON TREASURE
LOOKS VERY PROMISING

The shaft on the Marthaler and Muir
ply lease on the Goldfield Treasure
ground is down 125 feet and some fine
looking sulphide quartz which will
doubtless make ore is present The last
assays from the shaft were taken sew
eral weeks ago and the values then ran
around 81. Considerable work was done
in these workings under a previous
lease and there is every indication that
the work will ultimately be crowned
with success.

The new gasoline hoist for the Mo-

commission yesterday morning. The
shaft which will go to the 200-foot mark
without delay is now 20 feet deep and
the formation and values thus far en-
countered are very encouraging. From
the 200-foot level it is proposed to pros
pect on a large scale. With the new
equipment progress from this out should

10th BIRTHDAY.
Aged Woman Asks Permission to Give
Benefit,

Still hale and hearty at the age of
ITO Mrs. Charlotte Rittig, resident of
Pittsburg, and conceded to be the old
est woman in Pennsylvania, has asked
the police department of this city for
permit to hold her 10th birthday cele-
bration August 2, at her home, 26
Crawford street. Ten cents admission
is to be charged for those wishing to
attend the birthday party, and that is
the reason permit had to be granted
by the police. The proceeds will go
toward establishing the aged woman
in some institution.
Mrs. Rittig is of mixed Indian and
Caucasian parentage, and was born in
Harrisburg, Pa. Her husband who
died four years ago, at the age of 1913.
is said to have seen General George
Washington at Alexandria. Va, when
the former was IL years old. Her
husband was exhibited at the Old
Worlds Museum in Allegheny several
years ago as the Oldest living man in
the United States. Mrs. Rittig's maid
en- name was Rose, and she was adopt
ed into the family of Thomas Warren,
one of Pennsylvania wealthiest
Quakers. The Warrens lived on a
farm near Darlington, Pa, and there
most of the aged woman's life was
spent.
OF the 800 descendants all are alive
but two. According to the old tradi-
lions taught her by the Quakers she
has never done any unnecessary work
to break the Sabbath.

POLICE HEAR FAKE
REPORTS OF
THEFTS
Not a Single Bona Eide Rob.
berry Reported Up Till Noon
Today-A Few Migrants.

There are always few of these
wise guys lying around, waiting
chance to tell the police what they
know about certain things, but when
it comes to deliver the goods, these
kind Of fellows usually turn out to
be air artists, with nothing but
story:
Yesterday evening at the EXPOSE
ton grounds on the Midway, report
was made to me that party who had
been bucking the spindles had been
touched for his pocketbook. l made
an investigation and found one or two
men who claimed to know all about it
they had even seen the thief picking
the victims pocket. We arrested the
man who was supposed to have turned
the trick and held him for time. AS
matter of fact, however, there has
not up till today been a single dip
made, or If there has. It has not been
reported to US, and the alleged victim
of last night has been pleased, appar-
emily, If he was robbed at all, to keep
able to discover that anyone lost their
purse at ALL"
The local department has been very
successful in controlling the conf
dence men. All suspicious characters
have been seen and the leaders of the
spindle operators have been notified
that the first report of crookedness
would be a signal for the arrest Of
the whole caboodle. The result has
been apparent. At Fargo during the
state fair the robberies averaged
half dozen day and several very rich
hauls were made.
All the Grand Forks police have
been able to catch in their net was
two or three very ordinary DRINKS or
Migrants. The prevention of crime is
more worthy of commentator than
the catching of criminal after the
crime has been committed.

CURE FOR SUMNER SILVER.
Treatment for Warm Weather Cold
That has Proved Effective.

When in the height of these piping
July days one feels a little SILVER

over the spinal vertebrae until it dissi-
pates itself in well-developed, old
fashioned SILVER all over the shoulders
and nape of the neck-one has got it,

from the monotony of mere hay fever
and influenza.
If that strangely untimely SILVER be.
further. accompanied by parchedness
of the throat and nasal passages, a
crackly feeling of the lips, a dryness of
the eyes amounting to almost pain, and
hot f1ushes chasing one another sport
lively all around ones shoulders and
chest, then there can be no doubt that
one is in for the latest thing in uncata-
logued misery-a summer cold.
The summer cold may be due to a
lowered vitality or carelessness in
feeding" said we'll known doctor yes
terday. A West End physician in re-
ply to questions said he believed the
summer cold was distinct disease:
it strongly resembled its winter con-
gener: came in much the same man
ner. ran its course similarly, and
wound up in like manner.
Probably the best of all cures in such
conditions is what is called the gold
miners cure" This is as follows: Be-
fore retiring for the night steep the
feet and legs half way up to the knees
in bucket of water as hot as can be
borne; the patient at the same time
drinks. as hot as he can swallow, a
pint Of lemonade or whiskey or water,
sweetened. Just before rolling in I'M

two or three grains of quinine.
In the morning a long refrigerant

towel, no breakfast: and by lunch time
the patient could almost tackle pair
of grilled gate hinges. This cure has
been proved successful SO often among
the miners as to be looked upon by
them as infallible.

THIS YEAR
Faith Of People II States Flu
ture Shown in substan-
tial Buildings Erected.

Building operations in North Dako-
ia at the present time are more ex-
tensive than for years and are a bar
ometer of the prosperity of the state
and the faith Of her people. Nothwith-
standing that lumber and other build
ing material Is more expensive this
year than in past seasons, in the cit
les and towns of the state there are
more substantial business blocks be-
ing erected and more elegant resi-
dences than during any previous sum-
mer in the history of the state. This
Is true In the valley as we'll as in the
central and western parts of the
state.
At the present time $365,OO0 are
being expended in the construction
Of public and semi-public buildings
and more than 100000 in strictly
business structures and improvements
while plans and specifications have
been prepared for business structures
which will cost about $4,000. Be-
sides buildings of semi-public ma
ture which will be constructed this
year, but which have not yet been
begun amount to about $4,000. The
amount expended for residence struc-
lures in Grand Forks this year will
foot up over $35O,O0O. The foregoing
takes in buildings alone and takes no
note of improvements on the streets,
street railway improvements, tele-
phone improvements and railway i'm
provements outside of buildings.
Contractors are of the opinion that
there will be more building of resi-
dences in the fall than during the
summer, after the results of the har-
vest are known.

from the local union. The following
froma Colorado Springs exchange will
be Of interest to the members bf the
craft.
IF the convention which opens ia
Colorado Springs on August 10 Is not
the greatest in the history of the Inter-
national Typographical union it will
not he the fault of the arrangements
committee. And in these arrange
ments there is everything that conld
be possibly thought Of and worked out
to make this convention in particular
one never to be forgotten, and one that
should inspire an extraordinary effort
on the part Of every union printer ia
the Land to attend.
Locally, the committee has received
the unRtiRted cooperation of all clas-
SEES of citizens, and this in the face of
the fact that Colorado Springs this
year is ealled upon to entertain far
greater extent than ever before in its
history.
The greatest national reunion ever
held by the Elks took place in Dem

that swarmed into the city of sun
shine would swamp many a town of
greater capacity and less enterprise.
Right on the heels of the International

participate in it here in advance comes
the Pike centennial. probably the
greatest celebration that has ever been
held west Of the Missouri river.
But, Notwithstanding both these big
national affairs and the immense
crowds they will bring. the local COM
mittee is in a position to insure to ev-
erybody who will come to the Home
convention suitable Accommodations at
reasonable rates.
The American plan hotel does not
thrive here, and as consequence the
committee has made no attempt to
have an American plan rate set. But
it has made the fullest canvass of the
Accommodations. to be secured in the
most convenient and incest parts Of
the city, and can announce that they
will without doubt be entirely salts

run from 81 day down. No town of
its size in the country offers better
restaurant facilities and prices are
reasonable. AS two whole days are to
be spent out of town, the committee
strongly advised against the American
plan. The larger part of another day
is to be spent at the Home. You will
find the rates for the Accommodations
you want in Colorado Springs no high

les, all things included. Drop a line
to the secretary of the committee and
your arrangements will be made in ad-
