buminoids also form ii considerable
portion of these parts of the body.
Their chief use, however, is in build
ing up the muscles, tissues and vari-
Gus organs. The fats and carbohy-
irates are used to furnish energy and
heat. They are the fuel of the body
By uniting with oxygen they give off the
heat and energy required to keep the
body running, in much the same way
that the elements Of coal or wood
unite with oxygen to furnish heat and
power when burned in a steam engine.
Not all of the fats and carbohydrates
are burned Immediately. however.
Some of the fats go to build UP fatty
tissues. Some of the carbohydrates
are changed to fats and used in the
same way. and some are stored in the
liver in the form Of glycoeen to be
used when needed.
Before these various food elements
can be used by the animal they must
go through a process called digestion.
The first step in digestion consists in
taking the food into the mouth. Each
class of animals has a different way
of doing this. Watch the cows feed
ing in the pasture They reach out
their long tongues and gather in a
mouthful Of grass, breaking it off with
a peculiar twist as it comes against
their lower teeth. They cannot bite 1t
off, since they have no upper teeth
in front. The horse gathers in the
grass with his lips and bites it off be-
tween his teeth. For this reason
horses can eat grass down much closer
to the ground than cattle can.
After the food is taken into the
mouth it is chewed and mixed with
saliva. This saliva serves two pur
change some of the starch to sugar.
This change is brought about by the
action of engines which the saliva
contains. These work In the same
way as do the engines in germi-
mating seed, which prepare the food
for the little plant.
Sugar and starch, as we have learn
ed, are both composed of carbon, n.y.
drogen and oxygen. the only differ
ence being that they are put together
in little different way. The action
Of the engines changes the relation
Of these elements in the starch, ar
ranging them in such a manner as to
form sugar.
All the starch in the food must be
changed to some form of sugar be-
fore it can be used by the animal in
building up the various parts of its
body. Since the food remains in the
mouth only comparatively short
time, however, only small part of the
starch can be acted upon there. The
rest is changed later. as we shall see.
The main purpose of the saliva Is to
moisten the food This moistening, to-
gether with the chewing, reduces it to
moist, finely divided mass, ready
to be swallowed and acted upon by
the other digestive juices.
While the essential processes of d.
gestion are the same for all animals.
the way in which the work is carried
on varies somewhat. The horse and
the hog have but one stomach. AS
the food enters this churning mo-
ton begins, which gradually forces
the partially digested mass along to-
ward the lower end. The saliva con-
tinues to act on the starch, and anoth-
er fluid, the gastric Juice, is poured

SHYLOCK MINES
 ID BE OPENED
Central Arizona Company Plans to Resume Opera
 tions Within 30 Days
BIG VEINS OF LOW GRADE
 CUT IN UPPER LEVELS

PRECOTT, July 16.--Inside of si SLy days there will be general resump- tion Of work on the well-known Shy lock mines of the Central Arizona Cop per company. This has been definite ly decided upon, and J. B. Cleveland. the superintendent of that company, will leave this morning for Los An geles, to make the purchases of ma. chinery necessary to prosecute the work. It is his purpose to give the property extensive exploration at al points. and the future will be attend ed with a system of practical anc continuous operation. The entire SUI. face of the enterprise will be rehaoil- itated, and sinking will be resumed from the 600 foot level to greater depth. together with general eXplora- tion of the ground. in drifting, cross cutting. etc. To accomodate the ma chinery decided upon. the cid road from Grapevine is being rebuilt. ss well as are other like improvements going on adjacent to the property.
 The new machinery for this coIn- pany will consist of fifty-horse power hoist, the latest and bes, pumps, electric air drills of the T modern construction. all of which IreI to be propelled by electricity. A contract has been signed with the Arizona Power company for the ex- tension of its line to this camp from the circuit that goes to Jerome. less than a mile away, and in a few days the stringing of the line will be start ed. This feature in future operations Na lg.r-. l. reducing to a minimum the cost of power. and saving considerable over the old fuel method and heavy cost in transporting the same to the site ot the mines.
 The first work on the property will be directed to the unwatering of tine mine at the 800 foot level. where a pump will catch all the surface flow Sinking will then follow at the 6nU foot level. In the upper workings Of the mine big bodies of low grade ore were cut into in the many drifts and crosscuts. This showing has con tinued to the deepest work. in fact, it is said the property at this point looks the best Of any work hereto fore given. It is from that conIi- ten it has been decided upon to 9 ahead with the Flan that now calls for heavy outlay of capital, and which is justified by what has been decil- ed upon. This condition prevailing at the greatest depth is given publicity at the present time from the fact that it will soon be demonstrated, the management in the past not deem ing it advisable to make an assertion to this effect for the reason that water conditions made it an impossibility to permit of an examination to substan- tiate this belief.

MINING NEWS NOTES IN GENERAL

Rumors are afloat of a resumption of standard development operations on the Santa Rosa. Just why this property ever suspended work consti- tutes a mystery in the estimation of the average local mining man who is conversant with the situation.
 It is asserted by those best ac- quainted with the property that it is one of the greatest low grade copper propositions in all Sonora
 The Grand Arizona has s;rucK wa ter in limited quantities and the ore body continues to improve in values and shows no disposition to pinch out. Developments in this property are of great importance to Douglas, and. so far as they have proceeded, are dis tinctly gratifying.
 The Heffern has caught up with sew eral streaks of black manganese and other mineral bearing stringers In their new drift on the 450 level sam pies of which may be seen in Doug las.
 All recent reports from the Chirica- huas are very encouraging. The Dun can-TayloT combination. which owns extensive prospects and has the dinero behind it. proposes to start in on standard development opera tions this summer yet.
 Joe Larrieu has made a neat turn in the Chiricahuas. Joe had a fine prospect but, needing the money, was compelled to make a little sacrifice in regard to his interests. He has re served several other prospects, how ever. which he will develop out of the proceeds of h's recent deal.

RICH GOLD STRIKE
 IN DIVIDEND CLAIM Property Of Mount Elliot Con- SoIidated Company Becomes
 Center of Interest

PRESCOTT. July 1G.-Reports re Ceiyed in this city yesterday from ChaparTal are to the effect that d rich strike of ore has been made in the Dividend mine Of the Mount Fl liou Consolidated Mining company. and considerable interest was attend ing the discovery.
 The strike occurred at the deepest point in the main shaft, 505 feet, ani from the condition prevailing at that point mine owners adjacent believe that it is a determination worthy' Of important consideration to all inter- ests and will result in greatly stimu- ;ating future work in that zone.
 Assays made from the ore taken out run to as high as so, the ,a..:Gs being principally gold. At the point where his strike took place the .ein appears ,u be permanent and as Il IS deyeloed is improving with depth. The man agement expects to strike ih the next 100 feet the junction of this vein and another large ore body coming in from the east, which condition will practically establish the existence of the vein at great depth and of per manent ore values. as well. Follow ing the cutting Of this vein at the above point, the purpose is to begin drifting on the vein from the 300 foot level to the east, to reach Ticonderoga ground, and then 10 crosscut north to the vein of the latter. When this is done the character of the exploration will undoubtedly show from the work ings on the old Ticonderoga an at. tractive mineral condition prevailing at greater depth than ever before given.
 Following this showing on the Divi. dedn claim, it is but a recurrence of that demonstrated at other similar depth in that neighborhood. the Lelan, the Jessie, the Gladstone and many others. that show the wisdom of get ting into the ground at great depth. This principle. if followed out, termi- mates in an attractive condition pre- vaiIing, and lying as the Dividend does. in a family of mines well es- tablished, in rating. this strike is but an occurrence to be expected.
