Dear Editor and Friends
You will see that at last, after
visiting for nearly two months,
we have settled in albuquerque.
We are seemingly at the foot Of
the mountains which are covered
with snow, but there is no snow
in the valley. We have heavy
frosts at night, but enjoy beauti-
full sunshine through the day.
thus, the climate is all one could
ask for SO far aswhat / have seen.
We have fine churches and
good schools including the State
UniVarsity5-but, to make money
give me Montana. It is claimed
that, for grazing purposes, it
takes ten acres Of land here for
one in Montana. The people here
are not a healthy looking people,
excepting the natives, as most of
them came here for their health
and finding the climate agreed
with them have gone into bust
ness, I have often been asked
why / came here as we all are so
healthy looking. We are very
comfortably located, for the win
ter, at least.
Yours truly,
]. G. Stuart.

AN OLD EDITOR
Found $4,000 Worth of Food.

The editor of paper out in OFla.,
said: Eyes, it is true when | got hold
of Grape-Nuts food, it was worth
more than a $4,000 doctor bill to me,
for it made me a well man. l have
gained 25 pounds in weight, my
strength has returned tenfold, my
brain power has been given back to
me, and that is an absolute essential,
for l am an editor and have been for
35 years.
my pen shall always be ready to
speak a good word for this powerful
nutritive food. / had of course often
read the advertisements regarding
Grape-Nuts, but never thought to ap-
ply the food to my own use, until in
my extremity and sickness the thought
came to me that it might fit my case.
The statements in regard to the food
are absolutely correct, as have proven
in my own case. One very fortunate
thing about the food is that while it is
the most scientifically made and high
ly nourishing, concentrated food | have
ever known, it has so delicious a taste
that it wins and holds friends"

Corporations Gust Miners.

The Klondike proper-that is, that
portion of the Yukon territory in the
vicinity of Dawson-as far as the in
dividual miner is concerned, is on a
rapid decline owing to the immense
area of ground being acquired by
dredging companies. One company
alone has purchased nearly all the
placer ground on the three principal
creeks, namely: Bonanza, Eldorado
and Hunker and has bonded consid-
erably more on Dominion and other
creeks for various reasons. Where
formerly hundreds of miners were
working for wages or working their
own ground, thus creating a demand
for provisions, clothing, machinery,
hardware, etc, and the transportation
from Dawson to the different mining
operations, now dredges are either op-
Grating or in course of construction

Carney-Croft looked like its old-time
self in it's happiest days. The lawns
had been cut and sodded, the roads

shrubs and hedges trimmed, and the
chosen plants.

reports an invention at that place for
depriving soft coal of it's most objec.
