"ENGlNEER'S LEASE" TRIO
OPERATING IN WOODRIVER

The Engineers Lease trio of lucky
men who are cleaning up a fortune at
Goldfield are now trying their hands in

WHOLE MINING CAMP
IN MEXICO CLOSED DOWN

A Durango dispatch to the Mexican Her
aid says:
VERY discouraging reports are received
here from the mining camp OF lnde, near
wall of the principal mines having closed
down. With the exception OF the Guaca-
lupe and Terrible there are no mines OF
Importance now operating IN That dis
trict. And at these properties only a
small force of miners Is retained. III Is
estimated that only about sixty men in all
are employed in the whole camp.
"A year ago there were several thou
sand miners working in the various mines
and mills, and the camp was CONSIDERED
one of the most promising in the whole
state.
plorable conditions is the lack OF confi-
dence on the part of capitalists In the
United States and the fear that the new
mining law will go into effect. The mines
of the district were never In better shape
nor looked more promising than now. Sew
eral new modern mills were constructed
there last year and are now Idle Tor lack
Of rapital to set them IN motion.
..In the meantime the citizens who have
not left for other parts are relying on the
iefe politico to take some measures 70
relieve the present situation. but II Is
not matter that one man can arrange
so easily. -,
Another serious aspect Is the high and
advanciug price of the necessities OF life:
Corn IS selling at 10 cents per liter, ana
beans are not to be had al any price.
These conditions are brought about by
she scarcity of rain last year, when lit
tie or no crops were raised
During the past two weeks rains have
fallen continually IN that section and
there is every prospect of good yield
OF both corn and beans. but the new crop
will not come in before the month OF Oc-
tober. and lust what the poor people are
going TO do in the meantime Is ques-
ton that is not easily answered"

MAKING A MINE OF
THE BABY FLORENCE

J. F. Meikle believes he has made d
mine of the Baby Florence, says the Gold =
field Chronicle. He took charge of the
property on the first of August and start
ed a drift south from a croSscut on the
150-foot level, which had been driven to
the east into the big dyke. As work pro-
crossed the values have increased.
Yesterday his samples across eighteen
inches ran s64 and today Mr.. Meikle says
they will run $50 There are seams in
this face which are extremely rich, show
ing free gold
This is all virgin ground, clear TO the
surface" says MeilSle. AT the 400-foot
level l am drifting on a seam of quartz
that is running right for that shoot. The
Gem lease has Is feet of low grade ore
on the 25O-foot level in this same dyke,
and sure as fate We are going to find
big shoot of high grade in the Baby. If
we get the ore there on the 400-foot level
will drop the shaft down to the 500 and
take a million dollars out of that lease"

GOLDEN REEF PROSPECTS.
Report of Expert Is Highly
Satisfactory.
Report
Special to The Herald. J

Richfield, Aug. 16-At a meeting of the
Golden Reef Mining company held at
Elsinore to listen to the report of an
expert who had examined the property.
the report far exceeded the expectations
of the officers of the company. While
nothing definite is given out as to the
report, enough is known to determine
that the company will inaugurate cam
lpaign of development work such as has
not been attempted before. A gasoline
hoist has been ordered for the property
and a shaft will be sunk on the contact
of the porphyry and quartZite where the
ore is found All the work heretofore
has been done by tunnel, but this method
will be abandoned and the shaft will be
driven directly on the ore body.
Engineer Bohm of Salt Lake made the
report on the property. He declares that
it is one of the best properties he has
ever seen in the vicinity. The Golden
Reef property is situated in the same
mineral belt as the Horn Silver, the
Cactus and the Indian Queen. Reports
are out that Jesse Knight will look over
the Golden Reef.

When value of product alone is consid-
cred, this table shows that New York
still occupies the leading position in the
salt industry. Since 1905 Michigan has
produced larger quantity of salt than
New York. but the average net price in
Michigan is so much less than in New
York that the difference in production
is rot sufficient to compensate for the
difference in value. So far as both pro-
duction and value 60. the nine leading
states maintain in 1907 the same order
as in 1906. Louisiana in both years pro-
duced more salt than California, but the
output from California had a greater
value.
The sale exported most of which went
to Cuba, Canada, Mexico and Panama
amounted In 1907 to 81. 500. 422 pounds, val
ued at S232S 95. The total imports amount
ed to log. S5l barrels.
In both quantity and value of output
the United States stands at the head of
the salt-producing countries of the world
and in quantity the United Kingdom, the
German Empire and France rank next
in the order given. although the value of
both the German and the French output
exceeds that Of the United Kingdom.

THE GAME OF FLY-LOO.
NEW Yark Press \


Seven men in a brokers' office wait
ing for something to turn up. Nothing
turns up. Each takes from his pocket
a lump of cut sugar and places it on
the table. The new rule is that any
player may immense his lump in any
acid. liquor. liquer. or cordial or chem
ical he thinks most attractive to flies.
II dollar limit is agreed on each
places his bet beside his lump, and the
player whose lump attracts the first fly
gathers In the pot. You seldom see a
game of fly-loo these days with high
er limit than $40: but 500 or even $500
a lump was nothing In more prosper
Gus times. There Is no 'bookmaking -
The police do not interfere. No district
attorney is allowed to butt in. Why, II
you are clever with your eyes you may
see fly-loo played daily in public eat

ever there Is fly there can be loo.

Women Who Wear Well. i.

1t is astonishing how great a change .
few years OF married life often make In
the appearance and disposition OF many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
Of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
Of its freshness and the form OF its
fairness
