The La PIataS Com.

That the La Plata mountains will
activities this season is evidenced
from the fact that reports OF num-
Der OF very rich strikes are floating
around, although no confirmation oil
their truth will be given out. but the
fact that those interested are keep
ing mum and refuse to either deny or
confirm the reports, leads one to be-
lieve that there is more in the re-
ports than the owners will admit.
The Small Hopes. IL reports ara
true, and we have no reason to be-
lieve otherwise. Is the biggest thing
on earth. Twelve sacks sent down to
the smelter last week returned $63,.
900 In gold, not to the ton, but for
the twelve sacks. The management
is now sorting ton OF the ore which
will run into the hundreds OF thou
sands. There is a twenty-inch streak
of the stun and from the values re-
turned Cripple Creek and Goldfield
will be away In the shade.
On the Idaho, which sold recently
TOR $4,000 two-foot streak has been
opened up. whihc give returns of $780,
900 gold to the ton.
We give these reports for what they
are worth, but one thing Is certain
there is plenty OF rich ore In the La
Platas and we believe the figures
given above. while they may appear
enormous, are substantially correct
II they have any sized body Of 500
or 5000 ore it will be big thing and
will be the making Of this country.
The May Day continues its ship
ments of the picture ore and other
properties are being developed and
have the same chance OF striking II
rich as either OF the other properties
mentioned.

ture operations says he Is positive thai
the old timer will pan out In Its usua

The epormity OF the figures quoted
from the Small Hopes and the Idaho

values, but even at one hundredth par
OF the figures given II Is good enough
for anybody.

GREATEST OF PICK ME UPS.
Electric Cranes Which Handle 200 Ton
Locomotives

OF all TIL" labor saving devices that
have made possible the great industrial
works of this progressive age, says the
Ohio Magazine, none is more awe inspir-
ing from the standpoint of the layman
and none more important in the results
achieved for commerce and manufactures
than the electric crane.
Some years ago 100 ton cranes were
about the limit, but they are now built
to carry 200 tons with neatness and dis
patch, and all under the direction of Il
single workman, who operates the ma
chine by the turning of lever and tray
els with it.
There is no more interesting spectacle
than to see dismantled LOCOMOTIVES
weighing in the neighborhood of twenty
tons rushed into Il repair shop. seized by
a great crane, drawn high in the air and
conveyed over the heads of numerous
others standing ON the floor of the shop,
to the particular spot where it is to be
lowered and operations begun to make it
fit for the road.
There is probably no other device hav-
ing capabilities so varied. Ordinarily Il
machine will do but one thing in one
way, but an electric crane seems able to
do almost anything in its line, and do it
to perfection. These machines cost, from
the smaller to the larger sizes, from
$1,000 to $4,000 each.

EASY FOOD
Ready for Instant Use without
Cooking.

Ready for Instant Use without
Cooking.
Almost everyone likes a cereal food
of some kind at breakfast and supper,
but the ordinary way of cooking cereals
results in pasty mass that is hard to
digest, and if not properly digested, the
raw mass goes down into the intestinal
tract where gas is generated and trOu-
Bile follows
Everyone knows that good food prop
erly digested keeps the body well, while
poor food, or even food of good quality
that is poorly prepared and not digest
ed, is sure to bring on some kind Of
disease.
The easiest food to digest in this line
is Grape-Nuts, made from wheat and
barley, and cooked thoroughly at the
factory. some 10 to IS hours being con-
sumed in the different processes of prep
aratiOn. The food, therefore, is ready
for instant service and the starch bag
been changed to a form of Sugar SO
that it is pre-digested and ready for
almost immediate absorption.
A Chicago young lady writes that
she suffered for years from indigestion
and dyspepsia from the use Of food that
was not suitable to her powers of dI-
gestion She says:
II began using Grape-Nuts, and
confess 10 having had a prejudice at
first, and was repeatedly urged before

People can be well, practically with

food and leave off the indigestfble sort.
There's a Reason"

cious to the taste. 1t should be served
exactly as it comes from the package,
