GOLD DEpOSITES
AT JESSUP

Reports from the new camp Of Jes-
sup near Browns station. continue TO
indicate that the gold deposit there is
bearing out the hopes of the camp en-
thusiasts.
w. w. Henry, Jr., mining engineer
of Wonder, and who has since been
engaged in examination work in ome
has registered at the Col len at Reno,
having just returned from an cxami
NJ tion of the mine at White canyon,
in the Jessup district
The geological formation said
Mr.. Henry, s'is favorable to the con-
centration of gold values. They are
rhyolite porphyry dykes intrusive in
old andesite, and the strike of the vein
being northeasterly and southwesterly.
The surface showing is the best that
l have ever seen and the gold ore Is
to be found over very large area
Extraordinary rich values have been
found in the Murray and Jessup and
on the Hopkins property. Armour and
Bird who own the Dog Star and the
White Cap claims, get assays from
$54 to $40 from seven claims on their
property.
Considering the age of the camp
the showing is remarkable. many
people are headed for White caynon
and even now the little camp can
boastof early 100 tents and popula-
tion of nearly $50.

SALT THE RANGES.

The requirement that all cattle
horses and sheep grazing under per
niton the national forests be given
salt at frequent intervals is a regula-
tion which has been found to 90 a long
way in protecting the ranges and con-
serving the forage crop.
Experience has shown that the want
Of salt MAKES stock restless. If eat
tie and horses are not supplied when
they need it thy roam and wander,
haunting the old sailing grounds used
n previous seasons, trampling the for
age plants instead of eating them,
paving the ground and in other ways
running the range.
But if their craving are supplied,
they scatter peacefully over the range
and feed at their leisure. Salt is so
necessary to the easy and profitable
handling of sheep that no fockman
would think of trying to get along
without it. If sheep do not receive
their usual supply it is only with the
greatest difficulty that they are held
in bounds or kept in camp at night
So far as sheep is concerned, no regula-
tion by la wis really necessary, for
the owners, for their own convenience
will salt the fiocks. But the cattle are
not herded, and theowners may neg.
lect to salt them, if the regulations
were not strictly enforced.
Stock on different ranger require
varying quantities of salt. Sheep need
less on dry range than on green. An
average quantity for 1000 head OF
sheep would be from 1000 to 1900
pounds each years. For like number
of cattle, from 5000 to 10000 pounds
is required. Horses need less than cat,
tie.
Old hunters in the days of the pion.
GERS knew that deer and buffalo went
aong distances to lick salt at Saltine
springs. The Blue Licks on Licking
river in Kentucky and a similar min.
eral spring on the Elk river in West
crginia, were famous for the herds of
elk; deer, buffalo and other animals
which frequented them. The adjacent
ground was so deeply marked by them

SPANISH BASIN Is
NOW SCENE OF
EXCITEMENT
SHERIFF LAMB AND
OTHERS ARE INTERESTED
Extensive Ore Deposits Panning We'll
Are Uncovered by the Garetz
Brothers.

In Spanish basin, located about s
miles south of the Adelaide mines in
the Gold Run district, and about 81
miles by the wagon road from Winnie
mucca, extensive deposits of free gold
ore has been uncovered by tho Garetz
brothers. Interested with them are
Sheriff Lamb, F. j. Button and others
The sheriff returned yesterday from
the new discoveries, and is today
having a considerable amount of as
saying done on ore which he brought
back with him.
A sample of ore panned at local
assay office this. morning showed an
abundance Of free gold and is is stated
that this ore was taken from an i'm
mense dyke or body of ore. The ex-
tent OF the ore body has not yet been
determined, and in the development
work which has been done to deter
mine the size of the ore body, 40
foot eross-cut tunnel has not passed
through it.
The immense ledge was capped by
heavy layer of quartsite, which pos.
sibly accounts for the discovery not
Icing made long before. In the
adjacent territory much placer min
ing has been done and manv have
hunted for ledge ut the mouth Of
the Spanish lasin where the present
discoveries are located.

MANY FLORAL EMBLEMS
AT FUNERAL CEREMONY
Rev. Wilson Pays Touching Tribute
10 Life of the Late Mrs.
Willard oliver.

At two o'clock Tuesday the funeral
of the late Mrs. Willard Oliver was
held from the family residence, and
was under the auspices of the Ladies
of the Maecabees, of which order Mrs.
Oliver had been a member.
In short sermon Rev. Wilson paid
touching tribute to the memory of
the deceased. He spoke briefly. basing
his remarks upon the suggestive text
+" Her sun has gone down while yet it
is day. The remarks were replete
with tenderness and comfort. He said
this suggested a theme expressive of
the life and character of the deceased,
as he knew and remembered her, bright
cherry, beautiful in spirit, though
brief. 1t left also as comfort this
thought. "The sun, though gone down,
vet not lost,' and stoll shines on 9th
er worlds and other scenes. The sun
though gone down still lives in the
bright light of the stars, in the beauty
and fragrance of the flowers. So the
deceased fingers in the memory of the
home, through her gentle spirit, kind
ly disposition and ministries.
Very many floral emblems were in
evidence. Members of the Odd Eel
lows order acted as pail bearers, and
interment was in the Odd Fellows
cemetery

MARCH THROUGH FIRE.

Six thousand Hindus and select
few English officials have recently wit
messed in the neighborhood of Mad
>ras remarkable religious ceremony,
the principal actors being Soivrastas,
a sect of Brahmins.
The festival was called "the march
through fire." and it is appropriately
enough named. The proceedings were
in honor Of Brahma and Vishnu, the
gods of water and fire.
Preparations for the ceremony had
been going on for a month. A trench
twenty-three feet long and nineteen
feet deep was dug, and in it a fire
was kindled. At sunrise forty fanat-
les, who were to demonstrate their
asbestos nature, slowly marched
around the furnace bearing the GU
rious idols. The Soivrastas were
clothed in yellow tunics, and without
hesitation entered the fire trench
singing hymn, the refrain of which
was "Govinda! Govinda!''
After walking around this artificial
Gehenna three times they emerged.
apparently none the worse for their
experience, and have established an
unassailable claim for sanctity among
their people.

Deputy Sheriff and a Crowd Called
Out to Solve the Mystery.
They are having quite exciting times
at the home of Elmer Dare, in Har-
mony, about two miles from here.
June the place was visited by
spirits, hobgoblins or some other OBJ
noxious unearthiy. creatures. The
family was awakened in the night by
cider and vinegar barrels being rolled
over in the cellar, doors slamming,
chairs tipped over and other noises
too numerous to mention.
The neighbors were called in by
telephone and watched all night, but
failed to locate the cause of the dis
turbance. The next three nights the
same mysterious doings were repeat
ed, and several windows were broken.
Although there was bright moon,
and several men watched the place,
they failed to discover any cause for
the unusual commotfon.
We have not heard the result of
Saturday night, but crowd, with the
deputy sheriff for leader, were fully
resolved to solve the mystery il posi-.

Bringing milk to the boiling point is
the nearest approach to sterilization
we can accomplish at home. Repeat
ed pasteurizations also make milk
keep.
Modified milk is prepared under
medical supervision for use as infants
food. It's modification is to suit the
age and physical condition of the
child. Expensive as it is, this is
cheaper than medicine and it saves
children's lives.
Milk contamination often occurs in

Milk in open vessels quickly absorbs
odors of vegetables and other foods

put into old tin pans. Ill-ventilated,
unclean refrigerators are not unknown
in fine houses. Milk sometimes waits
in the sun at the back stoop before
being taken in. No wonder it sours
quickly. Scant ice supply accounts
for similar results In cupboards
without ice milk cannot be expected
to keep sweet long in warm weather.

RUBBER FINGERS.
They're Common Enough Now, but
Many Still Cut Off a Glove Finger.

They're Common Enough Now, but
Many Still Cut Off a Glove Finger.
When you cut your finger nowadays
and wrap it up in gauze you don't
have to hunt for an old pair of gloves
and lop off a finger to form the outer
bandage Of your wounded member;
you simply go to the drug store and
buy a rubber finger for a nickel.
And yet many persons go on cutting
off glove fingers. They have got into
the habit of saving up old gloves for
just such purposes Of home surgery,
and the habit sticks pertinaciously.
Most Of them don't know that you
can get rubber fingers of all sizes.
They are made to fit the baby who in
his first adventures is pretty sure to
find. a knife somewhere and to ac-
quire the knowledge that it cuts, and
grownupss too, no matter how big the
hand. And they are mighty convent
ent, for you put one on and it stays
on, whereas you know glove finger
has to be tied on by strings passing
over the hand and around the waist.
New devices to save time and both
er are put on the market daily, but it
takes some folks long time to find
out about them
