About Sandwiches

For meat sandwiches almost any
meat may be used from which good
cuts may be obtained. Cold roast
lamb. pot roast beef or boiled ham
are excellent, and chicken is always a
prime favorite. If the meat is In such
shape that it can not be cut in neat
slices it is better to put 1t through a
food chopper. Careful seasoning will
add much to the relish of the sand
wiches, but not more than carefully cut
bread. The shape of some loaves Of
bread renders 1t next to impossible to
make neat looking sandwiches, and
this point needs to be planned for
II one is buying bread II is as easy to
procure a sandwich loaf as to get the
other kind. In cutting the bread be
sure to have a knife that is sharp and
cuts evenly.
The butter should be softened, so
that 1t will spread smoothly; and the
slices should be spread so that they
will fit when laid together. If it be
true that genius is only an infinite
capacity for taking pains, then to
make the most attractive sandwiches

Marvellous Treasure Opened in GOldiield

Eight million dollar in sight and
still developing in ore, opened on three
levels to depth of 600 feet, and being
chased upwards, down and sideways
without finding its limits, is the new
worlds record being made by the new
strike on the Combination No. 1 in
Goldfeld
How much more this ore body may
contain can only be determined by fu-
ture development. The ore body is in
places 30 feet wide, averaging $3.50 per
ton, and the center streak assays way
up into the thousands. This is the
showing to date.
This marvellous discovery is in terri
tory hitherto unexplored, with chance
of extending for 700 feet on it's strike
through virgin ground.
The immensely of the strike can best
be shown by comparison. Goldfield's
total production up to January 1, 1909,
was $26, 147, 900. Like the waving of q
magic wand, practically one-third of
that amount is opened up in a new
development. The limits of the new
bonanza are as yet unknown, but it is
certain to put all previous records into
