Saratoga Strike.

An important strike in lateral from
the Newhouse tunnel was made in the
Saratoga mine on Sunday, the 1Oin
inst Assays of the first material taken
out were made Monday and showed
the following values: Gold, 1904
ounces; silver. $50 ounces Wednes-
day. at a point some twenty feet into
the shoot. very careful samples were
taken and tested upon commercial
basis.
The results which follow are from
two distinct streaks, one OF six inches
width of the richest solid ore, and the
othei Of the crevice, OF which there is
two feet at this time, and the streak is
constantly getting wider with the ad-
vance of the drift. The first grade
assayed 25.2S ounces gold and 1920
ounces silver. gross value of $514 per
ton. without accounting the copper, Of
which the ore carries a large per cent.
The erevice matter test showed values
of 9.22 ounces gold and ESQ ounces sill
yer per ton, a gross value of $19210.
The shoot was reached at n point
directly under the slopes of the tenth
level Of the Saratoga mine. which
yielded the richest ore of any part of
the old workings. No ore of such
value as this strike, was ever found in
the old workings Of the mine in the
higher levels, so that new standard
of values is created In this greatest
oepth.

PROPER SERVING MEANS MUCH.
Dishes Are More PalatabIe When
Made Attractive.

A plain lettuce salad assumes dif-
ferent aspect when served in ruddy
tomato cup or shining green pepper
cases, and rosy ring of tomato jelly
may inclose plain celery or endive
salad. Salads can be decorated with
chopped green herbs, hard boiled
eggs, radishes, cut to represent little
tulips, olives and nasturtium leaves
and blossoms.
Potatoes can be most decorative.
Mashed potatoes are pressed in the
form of tiny pyramids with fiat tops.
These are dipped in the white of All

where our laws are made, and unless
check is administered the passage
of the parcels post bill will mark one
Of its greatest triumphs.
But let us look at few of the
simple reasons why the farmer should
patronize the home Cealer. In the
first place their interests are cen
tered In each other. Every season of
plenty on the farm means prosper
Gus year to the country merchant. So
in the prosperity of the farmer does
the country merchant expect to gain.
The farmer finds, therefore, in the
country dealer. n staunch and loyal
friend and defender Of his rights.
They pay taxes together. live side by
side. their children play and go TO
school together When the crops are
poor or misfortune comes. to whom
does the farmer look? Not to the
mail order magnate, but to his neigh
Dor, the country merchant. How
often does the mail order concern
take any interest in the political ques-
tions or legal measures beneficial to
the farmer? Yet with their bright
hued catalogue o; pictured bargains"
they reach out an open hand for the
farmers hard earned dollar. And
does he ge' value received? Not
often. The first order he may. but
that is only a bait The business is
not founded on principles. It is not
buIlded on honorable methods. its
mighty walr I.e erected on graft.
The goods are shopworn or shoddy.
or perhaps many kinds of goods have
defects so cunningly concealed that
the naked eye can scarcely see a dif-
ference between these articles and
those OF much higher grade. You
are expected to send cash with the

Not often. Yet the local dealer will
do this. He knows his honesty is his

advantage OF dealing with honest men

NEWS FROM The MINES and M|LLS|
support Newhouse Tunnel.

At meeting of the Gilpin County
Chamber of Commerce, held at Central
City on the 18th inst, Manager George
Collins of the Newhouse tunnel pre-.
sented the situation as regards the fu
ture policy and conduct of that i'm
portant enterprise. Mr.. Collins ad-
dressed the assembly at length, detail
ing the present status Of the tunnel rs
regards business supplied by the min,
iMg properties which had been reached
by the tunnel, and to which it's facili-
ties had been available for some time.
His presentation of the Newhouse case
was thoroughly businesslike state
:nent of conditions as they are, and of
what is necessary in the way of coop
crative support in order that the con-
tinuation of operation and extension
of the tunnel should be warranted as
an investment for the promoters.
After Mr.. Collins spoke the discus
sion became general, and 1t at once
developed that there was but one opin-
ION of the value of the project OF the
tunnel to all the mining interests OF
Gilpin county. The assembly, repre-
senting every interest of the county,
without one dissenting voice adopte i
the following resolutions, which prom
ise the material support which the tu.-
mel company must have:
Whereas, the continuation of the
Newhouse tunnel and the driving OF
laterals to the mines tributary to 1t
will be of inestimable value, not only
10 the properties which will be cut by
the tunnel or laterals, but to every
property in the county: and
Whereas, the Newhouse Tunnel
Company feels that it has not received
4 sufficient amount of encouragement
from property owners along the pro-
1ected line to warrant at this time its
completion; therefore be 1t
Resolved, that the Gilpin County
Chamber of Commerce and citizens OF
Gilpin county, in mass meeting assem-
bled do recognize the value of the un-
dertaking as extending the life" OF
the mines of the county, and commend
the enterprise of the Newhouse Tunnel
Company. and urge upon all property
owners along the projected course of
the tunnel the advisability of affording
il the necessary encouragement by
pledging such support as will warrant
the completion of the tunnel as busi-
ness proposition"

enough is to very lightly insert In the

FOR A SIMPLE MENU.
Best Dishes to Serve at Ordinary
Afternoon Affair.

When menu is limited to three
articles, and it is for an afternoon af-
fair it should include one substantial
article, one sweet, and Sandwiches. A
salad like green peppers sOooped out
and filled with all kinds of vege-
tables cut up and dressed with may
onnaise is popular, and with this sar-
dine sandwiches. AS a sweet, fruit
Jelly with whipped cream.
A pretty idea for the jelly is to use
orange. apple. and banana skins and
serve the jelly in these, having the
dish when passed look like dish of
fruit. Have the whipped cream sauce
passed with the jelly.
If you do not wish the salad you
could have a hot dish. like scalloped
crab or lobster, served in individual
dishes; or you could have jellied
chicken sandwiches. The chicken is
pretty if made in individual molds, u.s.
ing hard boiled eggs in the molds so
that the slices of egg are on top
when the mold is turned out.
When entertaining eight guests in
the evening a good repast would be
bouillon or consomme served in cups
creamed sweetbreads in little indi-
vidual dishes; salad. and jellied chick
en- or thin slices of ham; dessert
ice cream or ices or a rich chocolate
cake with chocolate sauce and whip
ped cream. If you have trouble in
procuring fish you can use canned
lobster with success.
