 was but few feet from the surface, and while not an extensive body,
 It was nevertheless a great surprise
 to him and his four co-workers
 that such meteorological condition
 should be in evidence at that
 depth. The ore runs over $1426O
 per ton with silver quoted at 50 cents an ounce. In addition to
 this silver value another desirable condition was in evidence carrying
 the ruby character of the white
 metal, this mineral in the original
 workings of the old Zero giving property heavy rating in values.
 Prescott Courier: Active de- velopment of the Red Bluff group
 of mines in the Black Hills district. In which ores carrying good values In cobalt were recently uncovered, will be commenced this week. The group was taken over under bond recently by the La Gracia Gold and Copper company. Major T. C. Jordan, general manager of the company, has returned from Long Beach, Cal, and is now in the city awaiting the arrival of NJ. Pike, his associate director of the company, to commence operations. Director Pike will arrive in the city tomor- row from Long Beach, He and Major Jordan will leave immed- lately for the property. During his recent visit to Long Beach, Major Jordan and his associates planned to ship a car load of the Red Bluff ores to a reduction plant in New Jersey for a thorough test. Samples of the ores already an- alyzed gave returns of s per cent cobalt, S7.50 ton nickel, at the present market price of that metal, ! and 20 per cent in copper. The ore is also rich in arsenic and antimony. Cobalt is now worth S2.5O a pound, according to Major Jordan's statement, and the price is continually rising on account of recent discoveries being made of its high value in electrical apparatus.

said.
From Provincetown the feet proceeded TO
sea each week, returning Saturday nights. On
these trips of week each occurred the feet
drills, the evolutions and other exercises
One feature of the maneuvers was the pres
ence OF the naval militias of several eastern
states The members of these militia bodies
are citizen sailors. Each body of militia was
taken out for weeks instruction on the big
ships. Permission TO take the reserves on the
voyages was granted through the courtesy
OF the navy department
The Provincetown maneuvers presented the
spectacle of battleshps at practice firing at
sea under every weather condition for the first
time In the history OF American naval art
Night firing under the same conditions was
one of the important parts OF the program
which was carried out to the letter.
President Taft and Secretary of the Navy
Meyer were witnesses of several of the maneu-
yers of the fleet at sea and both officials ex-
pressed themselves as delighted with the
progress which the sailors have made at
craftsmanship since their world tour.
Two old torpedo boats, Nicholson and
O'Brien, were dismantled, filled with cork to
keep them ahoat and used as targets for the
gigantic projectiles. Time and again they
were riddled and finally. the cork having been
SO thoroughly perforated that they were
longer unable to keep afoat they sank 10 the
bottom OF the ocean.
They were towed at different speeds by the
cruisers and thus the gunners OF the meri-of-
war given an opportunity to gauge distance
and motion at the same time. one OF the most
difficult feats at which the American tar is
an adept.

Behind the white cottage in the

that position. Now the eliminating. hrst OF
all, of these diseased areas is the first duty
of man, woman and child to themselves. Says
DR.. Guelpa to his recalcitrant patient:
when you are attacked by an Illness. do
you not find, my dear friend. that nature re.
moves from you most OF your ordinary desire
to eat and drink? Yeu. however. think that
you know better than nature. You say to

try a bout OF starvation and then watch for
results.
How long should we starve. then. according
TO our Guelpa? He says himself that there
few persons who cannot do three days
without food. and that, too, with constant pur
gatives. At first a general gastric and mus
cular weakness is felt. That is simply the be-
ginning OF the process OF elimination. Soon
sense OF comfort begins 10 be enjoyed. OF
course the body in this period is more prone
to catch cold, matter that must be provided
for by an increase OF clothing and hot drink
now and then.
