CAR Of VERY
RICH ORE
Shipped By Two Companies of the
SaarchIisht District...SmeIters
Are Urging Further Shipments

Fifteen tons of ore from the Santa
Barbara's Rich Hill property, and %
tons from the Silver Legion were
punched together last week to make
up car load for shipment to the
Needles smelter, says the Searchlight
Bonanza. Yesterday superintendent
Taylor of the former also went down
to observe the sampling. He stated
that his, own part Of The shipment
should approximate, gross, 500 to
the ton.
Superintendent Taylor had several
small sample sacks of the ore with
him yesterday. One contained quartz
showing streaks of native silver, the
other high grade carbonate. This lat
ter was yariously estimated as high
as one dollar pound. an Mr.. lay
lor stated that no less than ton of
it had been token on the day pe-
fore. + M. Martin, the broker who
sold the property ~ the Santa Bar
bara company, is likewise much elat-
ed over the success with which his
client is meeting.
The speed that MI Taylor ana his
company have made with their Can
yon property, in the few weeks time
since they came into possession, is
certainly bordering on the sensation
al. This week they have sent out in
quiries to six different concerns as to
which con make the best time and
price on 60 ton concentrating plant.
The reason for this hurry-up order is
plainly tho ore in sight. In the first
place 1 5 foot ledge shows on the
surface running clear over the hill.
Three separate tunnels are now be-
ing run and all show good results.
Where sacking Of ore is now in prog
ress there is 4 varying streak, four
to "a inches wide, that runs $500 to
$500. On the side are several feet
that averages ST..
In view of the alleged attitude of
the smelters with regard to ore ac-
eeptances at the present time, is the
fact that they were solicited by the
smelters and that in the last week,
several kilograms have been received
urging other shipments. The ore is
self fuXing and it is evident that the
smelters are not refusing but are on
the other hand soliciting materials of
this character.

ButtermlIk as a Tonic.

Ordinary sour buttermilk is a bet.
ter tonic, is a better food than ever
was bottled or boxed up by the chem
list or doctor. Buttermilk Is a
hearty food. Two glasses a day is
enough for any one. This should be
drunk with meals or else should not
be taken within two hours of a meal.
Time should be given for it to di-
gest thoroughly before anything else
is taken into the stomach. 1t takes
buttermilk considerably over an hour
to digest, and to drink another glass
before the first one is digested is to
stir up difficulties with the digestive
organs. Really the best way to drink
buttermilk is with the meals, though
it may be drunk between meals as a
sort of easily digested lunch.

NEVADA
BOOMING
Greater Confidence In
State Among Investors
Than Ever Before.
MANY MILLS ORDERED
Building Will Provide Rich Field
for Machinery PeOpIe'..Era Of
Prosperity Unrivalled in Mining

SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 26.-
I'VE have noticed during the past
three months that the inquiry for mill
equipment for mines has increased
many hundred per cent. said Il well
known mine machinery supply man
today. II have just returned from
several Nevada districts, where | was
called by just this line of inquiry,
and | find everywhere a growing SEN
timent that no branch of the mining
industry is attracting the attention
from eastern capital, nor has any
other branch the optimistic future
that mining for gold is attracting.
Nevada has been a student for
three years, a student IN the severe
school of experience, and she has
learned her lesson thoroughly. Ev-
eryone was inclined to believe that
the resources of the state existed
mainly in the newspapers, and fer the
sole purpose of disposing of mining
stocks to unwary eastern investors.
Nothing could have converted the
world from this impression SO ahso-
lutely as the announcement from the
smelters that Nevada mines wer ,
sending in rich gold ore faster nan
it could be taken care of. THAI set
DC oEle to thinking, end the result
is a stronger confidence for Nevada
now than ever before.
Penalties that have been added by
the smelters to the treatment of Ne
vala gold ores have simply forced
the organizations able to do SO, and
those that are capable of shipping eX-
tensively have no trouble in reaching
The purses of money circles. to make
preparations of treating their re-
sources right on the property. Mills
are being added on all sides, and we
expect great revival in the mine ma
chinery supply business from this
one branch of mining during the new
year.
"Ncvada presents the field for us
along such lines, aid everyone can
see that the old stlte is about to en-
ter an era of prosperity and remune-
rative mining that will attract atten-
ton from every nook and corner of
the civilized world. Nevada has
learned hor lesson we'll, and now she
is going to profit by this schoollSg.'

about a year ago in Malta court. A
Maltese tradesman whose affairs were
in hopeless disorder put 1t all down
to the fact that he followed creditor

unwilling passenger to England, the
ship having started while he was be-
