TEST CASE WILL BE HEARD
Priority of Location Figures I'm Pro-
ceedinEs in District Court

ceedtnES In District Court
GOLDFTELD, Feb ia case in
volying the question of priority of To-
cation will have a hearing sooE be-
fore the District Court OF Esmeralda
County. AS it is probable that further
litigation of a similar character will
come up in the future this case will
be watched with interest by mining
men. The property involved is the
Fawn No. l claim, adjoining the Vim
dicator on the west, which was re-
located at an early hour on the morn
ing of January / by two men, each of
whom claims his location to be prior
TO the others.
A short time since the Boyce- Han
nan Brokerage Company purchased
title to the claim from one of the re-
locators and organized the Goldfleld
Wonder Mining Company TO develop
the ground. At this juncture came
Forrest 4. Swears, a prominent min
ing engineer, who claims to have per-
formed the act of relocation at two
minutes after midnight on the morn
ing of January l, and several pro-
moters to whom he had transferred
the title to the Fawn claim. The
ground is we'll located and valuable
and an interesting fight for possession
is certain.

WHITE BREAD"
Lacks Things the Body Needs.

The valuable food clements required to build up the nerves and brain are found up under the she'll of the wheat and these parts the white flour miller discards, because tkey slightly darken the flour. It makes a big difference In the body whether 1t is fed the proper food elements or not.
 Mo. woman looked into the matter and found ner weaK stomach came from too much nice white bread" She writes:
 About five years ago my health was very poor appetite all gone, my stom- ach too weak to digest what little l could eat; everything soured, my nerves were weak and my heart skipped beats.
 The doctor treated me for liver troub.e without much benefit and nnally I had nervous prostFation. ! was very much discouraged and feared I would never be well again.
 Deciding upon a reform at once. and having heard so much about Grape Nuts food for strengthening and build ing up a broken down system. l began to eat it and left off my white bread. It did not sour on my stomach as the white bread had done.
 My stomach soon got better, my nerves stronger and l commenced to gain every way right along. It was boon to me; truly a nerve and brain builder. l have many thanks to give to Grape Nuts and It's originator for good health in my old age.
 T am 70 years old and ever since the first time we placed Grape-Nuts food on our table, five years ago, 1t has always been there, Our family like the rich nutty taste and often eat 1t dry as well as with cream. But there are many other ways of preparing Grape-Nu and we never fail to rec ommend this food to those with tired and worn out brains and nerves" Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.

 Tn tlis connection 1t has been nec- assary to consider the enormously in- creased cost of all kinds of telegraph material. which. in many cases. has been from 50 to f0e per cent, while he tarin rates on messages and oth- CT traf3o are very low in view of the demands of the public for sver-in- creasing facilities and more rapid service. In fact, many of the rates are relics of former ruinous compe- tition and are unavoidable.
 notwithstanding these facts the company has decided to increase the salaries of operators at its principal ofices throughout the country 10 per cert. from. March 1. 1907!
