COFFEE COMPLEXION,
Many Ladies Have Poor Compilations
from Coffee.

Coffee caused dark colored blotches
on my face and body. l had been
drinking 1t for a long while and these
blotches gradually appeared, until
hnally they became permanent and
were about as dark as coffee itself.
i formerly had as fine a complex.
Ion as one could ask for.
When I became convinced that eof.
zee was the cause OF my trouble, I
changed and took to using Postum
Food Coffee, and as made it well, &C.
cording to directions, l liked It very
much, and have since that time used
1t in place of coffee.
1 am thankful to say am not ner.
Vous any mere, as | was when | was
drinking coffee, and my complexion Is
now as fair and good as it was years
ago. 1t is very plain that coffee caused
the trouble"
Most bad compilations are caused
by some disturbance of the stomach
and coffee Is the greatest disturber OF
digestion known. Almost any woman
can have a fair complexion if she will
leave on coffee and use Postum Food
Gomez and nutritious, healthy food in
proper quantity. Postum furnishes
certain elements from the natural
grains from the field that Nature uses
to rebuild the nervous system and
when that is in good condition, one
can depend upon a good complexion
as well as a good healthy body.

FLOW OF WATER
In THE LAGUNA

In spite of the fact that a persistent
flow of water is being encountered in
the main shaft of the Goldield leasing
and mining companys leases on the
Miss Jessie claim of the Laguna, work
is steadily progressing with three shifts
of men. The water is coming into the
shaft at the rate of one foot per hour,
making it necessary to hoist eighteen
buckets in that length of time.
Engineer Swears intends installing an
electric sinking pump as soon as one
can be obtained He has wired TO every
electric pump factory throughout the
United States and as yet has not met
with success He has had experience
with electric pumps of this kind in the
mines of South American and states
that should he be unable to secure one
in this country he Will send an order
to England. He figures that it can be
placed upon the ground within twenty
days. He states the electric pumps are
extremely handy, being comparatively
light in weight, and are so arranged that
they can be easily made to follow the
miners in their sinking.
The shaft is down over 200 feet in
an andesite formation exactly similar
to that of the famous Mohawk At a
depth of $50 feet it is the intention to
crosscut to the southeast in order to
tap a large body of sulphide ore which
has been located by a diamond drill.
When this ore is encountered, should
the showing of the drill prove even
half correct, it is predicted that an
enormous body of high grade sulphide
ore Will be opened. Many are watching
operations with interest.

FRACTION HAS
STARTED WORK

After completing systematic trenching
of it's Great Bend Fraction ground, the
MANAGEMENT of the company has started
two shafts on separate veins and has
attained depth of twenty feet in both.
In describing the veins yesterday, Fore
man James Walsh stated that they carry
all indications of permanency and have
widened to a width of four feet at the
bottom of the shafts with well defined
walls.
The formation is an oxidized altered
andesite with traces of dacite. Consid-
erable high grade float has been found
close by Six men are steadily at work
and are engaged in placing two collar
sets in the shafts. A gallows frame
is being framed in Goldfeld and is to
be hauled to the ground within the next
few days. At that time the new To-
horse power t'airbanks-Morse gasoline
engine is expected to arrive.

shipped from Salt Lake and contract
given to erect a 40-foot gallow frame.
AS soon as the hoist is installed third
shift will be added and sinking and
prosecuting will be prosecuted vigor-
ously. The location OF this lease is very
promising. The block is situated about
