WINES OF ENGLAND Their Making Has Now Been Neglected for Many

(Adrian Lumley in the London Mail)
 "I'il me a bowl Of meath my Work- ing spirit to raise Thus the modiae- val poet calls for his inspiring liquor
 Meath, or mead, tho Vikings drink, is probable the earliest British bever- age A strong liquor prepared from honey it urged the focmau to the fray and 'lonsencd the mlnstrels silver tongue" The coming of the Normans and the Plantagcnets intro duced a taste for foreign wines, Malmsey not from MalmesburY In Wiltshire, but a corruption of the French "Malvolsio' and sack the "sec' or dry" wine, tho ancestor of sherry, became the austocratic liquors; but mead remained for many generations tho drink of the lower orders,
 In these days of American cock tails and German beors it Is, indeed, refreshing to find that English mead is still made. In ono village in TIamp- shire. and doubtless elsewhere in rural England, a fermented honey wine Is prepared for home use, and Is more- over still called mead, In the vil- lage referred to the recipe is a family tradition. so the preparation is almost certainly the old original liquor.
 According to the dictionary, the word "wlne' means the "fermented Juice of the grape but the term Bhould be more general Any fruit, flower or plant that has a wholesome juice can he fermented into wine. Cider and perry are true wines made from the apple and pear, although ac- cording to law neither must be des- rrlhed smpiv ns wine but the word must he qualified hy the name of the fruit This regulation applies to all the other materials out of which wine Is made. except of course, the grape.
 It is most interesting to find the va riety of plants out of which an Eng fish cottage wife can make wines; from garden fruit such as plums, cur rants. gooseberries, damsons, rasp- berries and cherries; from hedge fruit Buch as elderherries. hackherries, and sloes. She will also make wine from vegetables like rhuharh parsnips, and carrots. and from field flowers such IS the cowsllp and dandelon.
 The methods of preparation and the navorlng ingredients may differ ac- rording to the juice employed and the various whms or hereditary tra- ditions of the maker hut the results gre, broadly, the same namely, gen uine wines of low alcoholic strength.

Boston baked beans are known around the globe In the city of Bos- ton alone about 32.ooO.O OON quarts of baked beans are devourod annually. to sa, nothing of the pork that goes with them and the brown bread that is also served There are factories or bakeries which handle nothing but baked beans from one years end to the other one of the largest of these, which supplies restaurants wholly, bakos 14,o0o quarts of beans a week Other bakeries also furnish brown bread, while nearly every bake shop that makes bread, pastry and pies also. hakes beans several times a week. There are bakeries with ovens trdt will hold 2,00o quarts each
 In 1904 Boston spent about &s.2A7,- S,z for beans before they were baked. l There were 6S,000 barrels received in the city, which. on the weight basis, was lb,o00 pounds more than was used in 1908, Each year consumption has been steadily increasing, untll 1908 will find the bean bill of inc Hub close to tho ten million mark on the basis of about 500, ,00O population 1 this Is an average of about 37 quarts to an individual.
 Taking the average height Of Bos- tonian as 5 feet inches and the | height of a boanpot as 10 inches, one | can easily figure that in a year n Bos- l tonian eats more than two and five. sevcnths times his own height in oakcd beans and more than his own weight There arc l2 plates of beans served in restaurants from each pot ht TWO quarts Boston pays for baked i beans in a year the price of two of l Uncle Sam's modern battleships.
 Dwellers in Little Italy and the ghetto of the West End take as kindly 10 baked beans as do the natives of New England stock, In fact baked beans possess a charm for people oi all nationalities who go to live in Bos. ton. permanently or temporarily Every time a convention Is held there people from all parts of the country make a dash for the nearest res. taurant and call for some of the baked beans of which they have heart 30 much One bakery in the heart o the Italian quarter turns out 1,00C quarts daily, entirely for Italian con. sumption.
 The preparation and baking o beans fig an interesting operation IT establishments where beans only arc baked it is done on huge scale There are great kettles that hold two or three bushels of beans, and into these the beans are put to soak ant parboil. Then the pots of earthen, ware, varying in sl1e from one guar to two gallons, are ranged around or tai bles and filled from the big kettles Every quart of beans Is carefully picked over and sorted and cleaned o all dirt and "dead' beans before beint put into the kettles The ovens ar, huge bric, affairs glowing red witt heat Experts consider that beam cannot be property cooked except i a brick oven Some of the oven

Los Angeles business men are mani- festing deep interest in the bill in- troduced in the Senate few days ago by United States Senator Flint provid- ing for the establishment of a govern ment assay office in Los Angeles. The bill carries an appropriation of 2O,OOO$ for the purpose, and the employment of chief assayer at 2,500$ per year and one assistant at l,000$. Aside from the establishment of shelter or mint at Los Angeles, there is no pro- ject that is received in that city with heartier pleasure. While the assay office would surely provide the pro- ducer of bullion with official informa- tion as to the value of his product and enable him to receive its equivalent in cash, it is pointed out in favor of the pending bill that in almost every instances the bullion producers would open accounts in the local banks. Fol- lowing the Klondyke boom congress established such an office at Seattle and the amount of bullion that has since passed through that office has contributed to the growth of that city to an extent unequaled by any other one line.-Searchlight Bulletin.

Mines of the County

Work on the Red Hills mines, com monly known as the Fay, is progress ing, Alfred Morgan being in charge of the property. It is purposed to get the mine in good shape to produce and as soon as that stage has been reached milling plant is to be put in. The mine has a nice body of milling ore.
 Robert Brannock, who is interested with J. s. Withers in group of min ing claims in the Secret Pass section, reports that he has uncovered some wonderfully rich ore in the property. Mornings from croppings show up won- derfully. He believes he has made one of the most wonderful discoveries ever made in that section of the coun- ty. The veins are large and run through the country for miles.
 On the 250 level of the McCracken mlne there is said to have been cut twenty-three feet of lead ore that will average high in values, and that no walls have been found. This great body of ore was opened in cutting out the station. It is from this depth that the big tunnel will be carried through the mountain to the west side. where the town of McCracken is to be es- abolished. The number one and two tunnels show great bodies of ore and in the shafts and crosscuts on the veins masses of ore heretofore undiscovered have been opened up. Near the sum- init of the mountain, in cutting out a wagon road a six foot vein was cut that will average high in lead. Boulders of lead weighing tons were removed from the vein in grading the road. T ,e company is working fifty-fve men in the mine and more are to be put on as soon as water is brought into the camp. It is probable that as soon as the water is brought in from Cienega ranch big plant of machinery will be installed at the portal of the big tun- n I and work of driving into the hill commenced. The tunnel is to be dou- ble tracked and two electric engines will be put in to handle the broken ore and muck. Several hundred men will be worked in the mine as soon as the new work is gotten under way. J. L.. Witney, who has charge of the prop erty, passed through Kingman yester- day on his way to Prescott, where he

A rich strike of sulphide ore was made in the new tunnel at the mine in the Turnbull Development company at San Carlos last week. The tunnel was being driven to cut the main ledge, which is one hundred feet east of the new strike. While an assay has not as yet been made, the ore appears very rich, and the opinion prevails that the Turnbull people have big mine in sight. J. c. Keppler and William Woolsey, heavy stockholders in the property, went down to the mine on a tour of inspection. The stock ad- vanced quite little on the local mar ket.-Globe Silver Belt.

s. c. Bagg passed through Kingman this morning from Los Angeles on his way to his mines in the White Hills section. It Is possible that he will take over the old Cyclopic mine, in the Gold Basin district.
 A number of carloads of lumber have been hauled out to the Tom Reed mine, where it will be used for various purposes. The Tom Reed company is working force of men on the proper ty and are making a success of the ten stamp mill.
 Eastern people are about to finance a railroad that is to run south from some point on the Rio Grande Vest ern or Salt Lake railroads, through the Virgin river country and on to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, where it will connect with the Grand Canyon railroad from Williams. The road is to be entirely scenic and is to be car ried through one of the most wonder full sections of the world.
 Recent report of progress on the l San Francisco mine, of the Yucca Cyanide Mining & Milling company, are to the effect that in the bottom of that property three foot vein of 70S gold ore has been opened up and that large output of ore was being made. It is said that the directors of the con- pany will soon arrive at the mine and that they will look into the feasibility of opening a shaft from the main tun- nel level to the surface, through which work will in future be carried on. As soon as machinery is placed on this i shaft work will be carried down to a level of at least 1000 feet.
 c. M. Simpson, secretary of the Tom Reed mining company accompanied by Charles Mushrush, N. c. Mason, N. F. Lawrence, D. A. Davls, James F.. Ker, Charles w. Covell, of Pasadena, and J. G Lawrence, of Los Angeles, arrived in Kingman this morning are holding meeting of Stockholders at the office of Ross H. Blakely, in the courthouse, this afternoon. The Tom Reed mining company is the successor of the old company operating the Tom Reed and Ben Harrison mines and which went into liquidation a few years ago. Themines were common ly known as the Hilty properties in this section. '''
