Iu conclusion the booklet says: This
sum is less the cost Of transportation,
from the mines to the Salt Lake smelt-
ers, as we'll al the cost Of smelling. all
of which until the last two years was
onerous In the extreme and practically
prohibited the mining and working OF
rock at a profit which did not assay at
least SIS per ton.
The charges Of transportation and re-
duction are now. happily, more mod
crate.
Improved machinery. more reason
able transportation and reduction
charges, the invention and discovery OF
more economical processes. for the ex'
traction :and saving OF the precious
metals, new discoveries OF valuable ore
deposits, and returned confidence, have
lifted us cut of the slough Of despond."
and at this writing it would be difficult
TO find within the mighty mineral do
main OF Uncle Sam. mining districts OF
brighter prospects than those to be
found within the boundary lines OF the
County of Eureka. State Of Nevada.

A Boom For Parker.

If indications are worth any,
thing, the amount of business
the auto line is doing between
this city and Parker augurs well
for the future of that district.
There are more people going into
Parker now than were going
into Tonopah, Nevada, when
Charles M. Schwab went there
the first time. 1t is the better
class of capital that is seeking in
vestment in the Parker country,
and with the opening of the
townsite there and the building
of the Low Line OF the Santa Fe,
inasmuch as the district is highly
minerallzed, we can see nothing
but a boom, and a big one,
ahead of Parker.-Needles Eye.

The cases against c. H. Rohrig, an
oelwein attorney. and Frank Walton,
of Oelwein, his client, will both be con-
sidered by the present-sitting grand
jury, according to the decision of JUS
tice S. E. Peek, who heard the cases
last week. The court holds that there
is sufficient merit in the cases to war
rant grand jury investigation.
The action against Rohrig is for
threatening to extort, brought by Carl
Steinmayer, South Center street sa-
loonist- Rohrig made demands on
Steinmayer to turn over certain money
and diamond ring which the attorney
claimed belonged to Frank Walton.
The action against Walton was also
brought by Steinmayer, and is for nuis-
ance, in the selling of intoxicating liq-
uors contrary to law. This is the out
growth of the purported sale of the
Steinmayer saloon by Steinmayer to
Walton. and its subsequent transfer
back to the original owner.
The grand jury is working on large
grist of cases and complaints. and will
be kept busy we'll into next week

Winter Fruits and Vegetables.

We know from various sources that
there has been less fruit put up in the
homes this year than ever before. This
is due to two things. First, the scar
city Of some fruits. and second and
more important. the growing tendency
of housekeepers to buy their fruits and
vegetables already put up. They do
this because they can really get better
goods at a lower price and save all
the work. Our Batavia brand of both
fruits and vegetables is growing in
popular favor each month. They are
the choicest, cleanest and purest ma
ture and human skill combined can
produce. In few weeks we expect to
have our special Demonstration at the
store and the new goods will begin to
arrive Come in and talk over prices
in case lots. Peckham Grocery Com
