sugar and cream or milk is the great

who needs vigor and strength for a

After four years of practical and extensive development, the Juanita Mining and Milling company make the announcement that beginning on the first of December general mine work with three shifts will be inaugu- rated Arrangements are to be imme- diately made for the placing of a new and improved 2o-stamp mill on the property.
 O. A. Seaman, one of the principal stockholders of the enterprise, left yesterday for St. Louis, where gem eral meeting of the principal stock holders is scheduled to take place to consider various matters. The decis- ion to extensively operate the ground follows the showing made by system atic working.
 The location of the new mill will be on the dump of the Tom Dick claim and conservative estimates of
