SARCHLIGHT. June 21.-On Monday
afternoon strike wac m=.5> - the

most remarkable yet produced in this

seventy-five feet east OF the SHAFT on
the 500-foot level of the. Fraction claim.
Coming in on the hanging wall was q
streak six inches wide at the top and
about eighteen inches wide at the bot
tom that was roughly estimated to
have q value of SIS to the pound. In
a few hours work thirty-eight pounds
were sacked, or over $500 worth. Also,
at last accounts, there was no diminu-
ton in size, but q tendency to widen.
This high grade Is in decomposed
quartz and much of 1t Is SO soft as to
crumble In picking or handling. Need
less to say, it is alive with specks of
free gold and occasionally wire gold.
G. Fred Cotton of Los Angeles Is the
owner and ON Tuesday samples were
sent to him. In his absence Foreman
Morrison Is non-committal as to details
more than to admit an unusual strike.

to repeat what he has said before that
he regarded that property as top
notcher and hardly second to any other
mine In this section of the state, not
excepting the Quartette, its near neigh

However, from unquestioned sources
there was affirmation of the essential
facts. Also, 1t Is known that this strike
is on the same vein where, some dis

was in the following proportions:
Gold $61,S36,592; silver, $69.922,747,
or a total production as shown of $131,-

gate $7S,148,000 were paid to the share
holders in dividends, and this from a
piece Of ground running only 1910 feet
along the lode line.
"The past few years have witnessed
preparations in these famous mines for
future production by the installation OF
machinery and facilities that will permit
of extended development at lower levels
at fraction of the cost of former days,
and also the working of large bodies OF
moderate grade milling ore which were
left intact in the bonanza days as
being too low gr.de to take out. These
new-old mines probably will keep close
company before long in the matter of
production with some of Nevada's new
CAMPS"

Pleasant Way to take
 GOD
 LIVER
 OIL

Everybody dreads to take plain cod liver oil, and with good reason, too, for it surely is a very disagreeable dose. Besides, the plain oil often upsets the stomach and deranges digestion.
 However, cod liver oil is so indis- pensable Tn the treatment of Pulmonary Complaints, Weak Lungs, Consumption, Nervous Weakness, General Debility and all Wasting Diseases that doctors must continue to prescribe it despite its unpleasant qualities because noth- ing else can take it's place in curing these ailments.
 Therefore we are glad to be able to announce that you can now secure pure cod liver oil in an easily taken and easily digested form-pure cod liver oil which has been condensed and tc which has been added ingredients which prevent its causing the least digestive disturbance.
