Exceptional
Equipment

of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attainments of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, in all Of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
benefcially and combining them most
skilIfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup OF
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup OF
Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA and as the gen.
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge Of the above facts enables
one to decline limitations Of to return them
if, upon viewing the package, the full nams

Union lnstructs Truck Farmers.

Baton Rouge.-The plans of the
ever progressive Baton Rouge Truck
Farmers Union embrace an enlarge
ment of the area, and the employ
ment of more up-to-date methods in
truck growing for market.
The union has employed Ellis Wei
land, of Baton Rouge, to give the
truck farmers instruction in the mat.
ter of growing crops, and it is under
stood that he has already suggest
ed improvements in the way of Gull
lure which will mean the saving OF
time and money in the course OF a
year.
The growing of strawberries will be
gone into extensively, and many OF
the farmers are already getting In
their cuttings for the next planting
It is believed that the impetus IN
truck farming will result in a re
sumption of work by the canning fac
tury which was idle the greater par'
Of last Sc son.
The idea that the cannery cannot
be operated at profit, because Of
cost in obtaining raw material In sui
f.cient quantities will not hold gooe
when the crop is harvested from the
increased acreage in this section.

SECRET WORKERS
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Operates.

Coffee Is such a secret worker that
n is not suspected as the cause OF sick.
Less or disease, but there Is very
sure way to find out the truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an inter-
esting experience her husband had
with coffee. 1t seems that he had been
using it for some time and was an
invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the Worm

It discontinued with instructions to
use Postum regularly in its place.
The wife says: 1--WE found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble and we would have glad

of the doctors charge when we found
how wise his judgment was.
"The use of Postum instead OF COT.

It has made my husband strong, we'll

Locally there have not been so
many events of interest as were an
nouneed during the past proceeding
two weeks. No important strikes
have been announced from any
sources and the general line of de-
yelopment work has gone on.
Copper Queen Company.
The Copper Queen company has
been and is laying plans for some new
and extensive develoEnent work,
which was expected to have COM
menced last week, but which is now
expected to begin either this week or
next. Then some important announce
ments may be expected from this
great company. Meantime drifting is
continuing with satisfactory results
on the 400 level of the Lowell, at the
Sacramento the 1900 level has been
reached and work is to Sc started In
connecting with the Sacramento This
week, other work in that shaft con-
templated being the cutting OF the
pocket on the fourteenth level. st
the Lowell shaft sinking also pro-
crossed to the sixteenth level last
week and will now proceed in the di-
rection of the Sacramento.
The precipitating plant is complet-
ed, in full operation and working
nicely. A partial cessation of rains
has still further helped the water con-
ditions in all of the shafts Of the dis
trict and especially in the Car shafts
where this year was the greatest trou-
BILE of any of the individual working.
With the leasing of water conditions,
plans of general development work
can be much better carried out and
HAY be sooner than expected.
Superior and Pittshura.
The new strike at the 1900 level Of
the Junction shaft has been little de-
yeleoped in the past week. In cutting
into the contact a bad country was
found, which made the development
slow and difficult, the Roadway being
commensurately slow. The progress
which was made. even though compar-
atiyeIy slight, was entirely satisfac-
tory so far as mineral conditions were
revealed, the fun face of the drift re-
naming in ore of from to 10 per
cent
In the junction shaft all water is
now being pumped from the fifteenth
level, the fourteenth level having been
tapped. This was done in connection
of raising from the 1900 to the ore
body which is being drifted through
on the 400 level. The raise has now
reached that ore body and it is be-
ing developed from top and bolt IL.
Altogether, the general development
work at the junction. is very satisfac.
tory, though there is nothing new
specifically. The work at this shaft
has kept the officials pretty busy for
the past few weeks.
At the Cole shaft new development
work has only Just been commenced

Calumet and Arizona.
The strikes reported on the $50
level at the Irish Mag shaft are be-
ing worked and the ore has thus fa-
proved continuous. Above ground at
this shaft the work of installing the
new hoist and motors is progressing
smoothly and rapidly. The retimber-
| ing of the shaft has not yet been
started, but it is expected 10 be be-
gun, very likely this week. While the
work on the new hoist, the motors
and the retimbering goes on, the men
enter the Irish Mag through the
Oliver, and the ore is also removed
from that shaft, connection between
the two having been long established
and car line run from the Oliver
through and into the Mag.
In the Oliver shaft, In developing a
new territory between that property
and the Mag on the $50 level, a good
oxide strike was encountered the lat
ter part of the week. This strike is
also being developed and in the short
time which has elapsed since it was
made it has taken on excellent as
poets.
Shattuck and DEM.
There have been no developments
announced upon either Shattuck or
Dem during the past week. Work is
progressing along the same lines.
The latest strike in Shattuck contin-
Iues to look good on the 500 level and
on this level as well as on the 600
production is being carried on.
There was decided bulge in Shat.
tuck stock prices last week for which
the immediate explanation was not
forthcoming. 1t has been said that
this stock is very closely held and
after the bulge cdae a repetition OF
this statement that there is outsand-
ing, available for market trading pur
poses, less than 5000 shares Of Shat
tuck, that the prices at which the
stock is quoted are merely nominal,
and that it is at all times impossible
TO fill a thousand share order at any
think like quoted prices.
DEM continues sinking TO the 400
level and 1900 level, and developing
the ore which was encountered on the
1850 level.
From across the divile in the direc
ton of Tombstone comes the news
that number of the smaller com
panies are showing activity, some tun
neling, others sinking and still Others
exploring with diamond drill.
The Bisbee extension has abandoned
all drifting work for the present time
