twelve ounces OF gold to the ton are re.
ported from this streak. The vein liz
the old ore body on which work has
been done for many months, and from
which values Of from one and half
ounces to four ounces are obtained
The vein is almost five feet wide. Four
strikes have been made on the Findley
property since the first of the year.
Sharp and company, operating on
tho Los Angeles property of the STRAIT
ton estate on Bull Hill, today sent out
a car of screenings that Is expected 10
net $50 to the ton. A new washer has
been installed on this mine and "a
heavy output is being made.
A third shipment was made by the
Western Investment Company today
from the Trail tunnel on Bull hill. The
leasing company is working on an ex-
tension of the Dante vein. The ore
sent out today will give returns OF $40
to the ton.

Kimberly Buys Whitley Mine.

The Kimberly Consolidated Mines
Company, representing Lake Superior
interests, with large capital at COM
mand, has purchased the old Whitley
mine and mill adjoining the Kimberly
property at Kokomo. in the Ten Mile
region. and has reorganized under the
title of the Kimberly-Wilfiey Mines
Company, with James e. Russell of
Marquette, Michigan. president. The
new corporation will take possession
of the Wilfey property July list. 1t is
now erecting 250-ton concentrating
plant that will lbe equipped with the new
Whitley roaster which has been devel-
oped by A. II. Whitley of Denver at the
mill which bears his name, and ten
Dings magnetic separators, with full
complement of tables and other de-
vices, thus making 1t one OF the most
complete mills ever built in the state. c.
l.. Buckingham, a noted constructor of
first-class mills, is the superintendent
in charge. This establishment is spe-
cially designed for the treatment OF
the complex sulphide ores of kokomo,
and Is based on. the extensive expert

Cripple Creek Mining.

Cripple Creek.-The Aetna Leasing
company, operating through the Index
shaft of the Pointer property on Gold
hill, has completed the work OF sink
ing the main Shaft to the 1,00O-foot
level The work of prosecuting will
begin within few days in north and
southeasterly direction with view Of
cutting the Pointerkeystone vein.
While development work is In progress
shipping will be curtailed and only
about three cars each week will be
sent out. Several good ore bodies
have been opened in this property and
two sets of lessees are shipping out
ore OF grade from $50 to $45 in go.i
to the ton. On the 365-foot level a
body of ore measuring three feet be-
tween walls was recently opened. Ship
ments are being made from this vein
and returns of better than two ounces
in gold TO the ton are being received.
The ore body opened about month
ago by Mcclure & Co. on the Happy
New Year property on Gold Quartz
hill southwest OF Cripple Creek has in
creased in size and now shows width
of almost five feet. The vein was en-
countered at a depth of lis weet. Val

turned from this vein. Considerable de-
velopmen. work is being done on the
property and 1t is thought that regular
shipments will be made in the near II
ture. Several good looking veins have
recently been opened on Quartz hill.
Selig and associates, operating on
the Fairview claim of the Stratton es-
tate on Gold hill. made a shipment OF
one car OF three-ounce ore today. The
lessees are operating through the Chi
cago and Cripple Creek tunnels and
working at point 1900 feet from the
portal. The vein from which the ore
was broken now shows width OF
three feet. There Is no improvement
in the grade of ore but the vein has
wiGened n trihe since development
work was begun.
A car of two-ounc ore was sent out
today from the Anchoria-Leland mine
on Gold Hill. The mineral was broken

Pluck.
How often you hear one business
man say of another who has been sue
cessful: "Ain't he lucky?" Luck has
nothing to do with anyone's success.
1t Is pluck.
Pluck and enthusiasm are the pow
ers which make the winner. With
these two qualities, which are in
variably found together, man will
succeed.
Business men who have achieved
greatness in their line are those who
possess an abundance of enthus-
iasm.
A possession that is better than any
thing else to a man is that determina-
tion of character known as pluck, and
an enthusiastic confidence that he will
succeed.
To persevere against great odds,
and to make a victorious fight in the
face Of almost impossibilities, it re-
quires pluck which is not governed by
impulse.
To cultivate pluck one must encour-
age steadfastness Of purpose. When
thing is begun it should be fin-
ished.

NEWS FROM THE Mines AND MILLS
ouray 10 Pleased.

Ouray, Colo.-It is with considerable
satisfaction that the people Of Ouray
receive the information that the Red
Mountain Railroad. Mining & Smelling
Company is discharging all its obliga-
tions, both here and at Silverton, with
the intention of resuning operations
on its property at once. Its indebted
ness is said to be about $65,000, which
will have been CLEANED up this week
without cent of loss to any creditor
of the company.
The property belonging to this COM
pany aggregates about 500 acres nj
mineralized ground. including the Gus
ton, Yankee Girl. Genesee-Vanderbilt,
Robinson and others, aggregating an
output of something like $15,000.0OO
from these various properties during
the time they were working number
of years ago. Mr.. George Crawford
succeeded in financing a company about
three years ago for the purpose of un-
watering these several properties and
working them at greater depth. The
reason for this was that a great guam
tity of water and the low prices of sill
yer in the early '90s had made 1t un-
profitable to mine the property, and it
was conceived that by driving tunnel
to unwater the property the immense
territory could be worked with econ
omy. This tunnel was run for almost a
mile into the mountain, with the result
that great bodies of ore were encoun-
tered in the Yankee Girl and Genesee-
Vanderbilt last August.
Soon after the strikes were made In
these properties there was some trou-
BILE in the company, with the result
that the property was closed down and
creditors of the company entered suit
for judgment. This tied up the prop
erty until supplies for the winter could
not be put in and the property was al
lowed to remain idle until the present
time, when all debts of the company
have been settled and arrangements
are being made to start work as soon
as supplies can be put in to advantage.

EXPERT ADVICE ON EATING.
Authorities Tell Us What Foods W.
Should Consume and Avoid.

Cicero told us long ago that we
should eat to live, not live to eat, and
Prof. Gautier, Of Paris, amplifies that
wise pronouncement in the course OF
very interesting article on How We
Ought to Eat" The professor is the
sworn enemy Of all culinary articles
the object of which is to stimulate
taste. excite the appetite and induce a
man to eat without hunger and drink
without thirst.
These, he says. are prejudicial to
the maintenance of health. When one
has an appetite for plain bread, veg.
etables or meat unmodified by any sea.
soning then and then only can one be
said to be really hungry. Another
paternal recommendation which the
professor makes is the old advice of
our grandmothers, that we should al.
ways leave the table with a slight sen.
sation of hunger not entirely appeased.
1t appears that we lose every day
from IS to 100 grams of albuminoids,
corresponding to 42O or $50 grams of
muscular flesh or analogous tissue.
An inhabitant of Paris, for instance,
recuperates on the average to the ex.
tent OF 1O2 or 103 grams a day.
AS a guide to what we should eat
the professor tells us that the best
meat is that of animals fattened on
pasture land-beef and mutton. Then
comes poultry and pork fed on prod.
ucts Of vegetable origin, whether
grain or herbaceous.
One should always avoid the flesh
OF animals fattened to excess on mus.
cular flesh and also, to certain ex.
tent, that of animals which are too
young. Veal is not good for either
gouty or arthritic people 1t is not
recommended for people with fragile,
irritable, eruptive skin.
Fish, excellent in itself when 1t is
quite fresh, is easy to digest, but it is
not suitable to eczematous persons Or
those who have any other skin dis.
ease. Black meats or game excite the
kidneys, predispose to gravel, to he.
patio congestions and to arterio-scle.
rosis. One may live absolutely with.
out meat; one can not do without
vegetable ailments.
Prof. Gautier deprecates all exag.
gerations and sums up as follows: Boil
your drinking water when an epidemic
is raging; boil milk, cook beefsteaks
sufficiently and sleep peacefully. A
cup of light and savory smelling bouil-
Ion, slice of roast beef properly
cooked, a small glass of Bordeaux and
even of Burgundy never killed anyone
Eat with regularity and in accord
ance with the demands of hunger such
dishes as have always been regarded
as innocuous and remember that, as a
rule, it is neither meats nor bouillon
nor wine nor spices nor coffee which
poison us, but their abuse.
