detail And in passing 1t may be
said that the most startling and Sig

made since the managers report was
forwarded to the New York head
quarters. Most of the information
contained in the report is familiar to

Arrangements Willingness to occa-
sionally give news out touching the
progress of developments. For all
that, there are some things mention
ed chat will sound we'll, coming Of
! feiaily from Manager Gum, so. for
the benefit of those who may not
see he report, a few paragraphs are
taken from it, as follows:
Up to present writing no attempt
! has been made to block out the ore
bodies. and the very nature of the de-
velopment up to this time precludes
| the figuring of any ore bodies as ore
actually in sight. There are, how
ever. several thousand tons of
straight smelling ore, averaging &
per cent copper. at present available
in the workings, while the tonnage
of the concentrating product will be
| found large
On the dumps it is estimated
there are about 900 tons of smelt-
! ing ores. averaging $50 per cent
copper, and l 900 tons concentrating
ores. The better product from the
mines generally will be found to be
straight smelling ore, although a
large quantity of the lower grade
ores will be subject to treatment by
concentration. the best method of ex-
traction being determined up to pres
ent on account of changes in charac-
/ ter of ores uncovered.
THE Mason Valley mines were
worked i'm the earlier times and the
amount of surface workings indicate
that large shipments We're made of
/ high grade oxidized ores. With mod
ernized methods the properties of the
Mason Valley Mines Co. are now de.
veloping into large copper ore bodies
of a class carrying good values and
subject to treatment locally by con-
centrating and smelling.
From point of accessibility the
property is most favorably located,
main workings being reached by ex-
ceptionally good wagon road, con-
strueted by the company. From Ma
son Valley to the Walker river the
distance in air line is one and one
half miles, the river carrying an
abundance of water all the year
round an extremely favorable condi-
ton If IL is found necessary to build

GROWING STRONGER Apparently With Advancing Age.

''In 1896, at the age of 50 years, I collapsed from excessive coffee drinlxing,' writes a man in Mo. For four years I shambled about with the aid of crutches or cane, most of the time unable to dress myself without help.
 My feet were greatly swollen, my right arm was shrunken and twisted inward, the fingers of my right hand were clenched and could not be extended ev- cept with great effort and pain. Nothing seemed to give me more than temporary relief.
 Now, during all this time and for about 30 years previously, drank daily an av- craze of six cups of strong coffee-rarely missing a meal.
 My wife at last took my case into her own hands and bought some Postum. She made 1t according to directions and I liked it fully as well as the best high-grado coffee.
 Improvement set in at once. In about six months I began to work little and in less than a year I was very much bet ter. improving rapidly from day to day. I am now in far better health than most men of my years and apparently growing stronger with advancing age.
 ''I am busy every day at some kind oe work and am able to keep up with tho procession without cane. The arm and keep far ahead in rapidity of movement and beauty of penmanship."

BROKERAGE FEE
 DECLARED ILLEGAL

New Orleans March 25.-The right of the Illinois Central railroad to permit its agents to charge a brokerage fee of cents per bale for cotton shipments which they booked over the Illinois Central was questioned today in the legislative Inquiry now being conducted here into New Or leans port conditions.
 Harry Baldwin, foreign freight agent of the Illinois Central with offices here, was on the witness stand. He testified that he charged cents per bale for booking cot ton which netted a revenue of about $6UO annually This revenue went to help de- fray the expenses of MT. Baldwin's of- flee. He testified that he also booked other freight besides cotton, but that cot ton formed the bulk of his business.
 MT. Baldwin said that counsel for the Illinois Central in Chicago had affirmed his right to charge the fee. Counsel Tor the legislative committee declared the be- lief that the fee was violation or fed eral statutes.
