Do your washing without fire next
time. Save the bother, the discomfort
and the cost of fuel.
Wash your clothes with Fels-Naptha
in cool or lukewarm water, in summer
or winter.
It's much easier-no hard rubbing is
needed.
It saves the clothes because there's no
boiling to weaken them and no hard
rubbing to wear them out.
It takes less than half the time of the
old way.
And this Fels-Naptha way of wash
ing in cool or lukewarm water makes
your clothes cleaner, sweeter, and fresher
than if you boiled and hard-rubbed 'em
till Doomsday.
Don't take a su b stitute for
Fels-Naptaa because it will not do the
work.
Look for the red and green wrapper
and follow the directions printed on the
back.

Fastest Time on First Lap Made
by the EMF in Furi-
Gus Squirt
By R. R. PHOMMEDIEU

SAN LEANDRO, May 30.-The sec
ond annual "a hour endurance run of
the Automobile dealers association of
California started today under most
favorable circumstances. At five min
utes to ., when Chief Clerk of the
Course Mountz was ordered to bring
car No. to the line, he reported that
President Max Rosenfeld of the asso-
citation was not to be found. He had
hardly made his report when Rosen-
field came dashing to the line, having
been detained by a blowout almost
within hailing distance of the starting
line at this place. AT p. m. sharp
the starting flag was dropped and Ro-
senfeld led the procession of 16 cars
around the course of 541A miles. Mountz
also reported that the Durocar. No. IL,
was missing. AS No. 10 was sent away
the Durocar and its crew swung into
its place none too soon 1t was found
that 1t had been stalled at the ferry by
the large number of cars coming to
this side of the bay. This completed
the list of cars entered and made
record start for an automobile contest
in California. There were fully 5000
spectators at the starting line during
cars would be hard to calculate, mas
much as every enthusiast passing down
the Oakland side of the bay stopped
for while TO witness the sport.
GOES AT FURIOUS CLIP
The fastest time on the first lap was
made by No. 4, the EMF, which COW
cred the course in 1 hour 20 minutes "A
seconds, avera ging Sc 1-3 miles per
hour for the course, or travelling the
average mile at l minute SO seconds.
This was frightfuI clip when it is
realized the rate the car must have
Travelled in the open country to make
up for lost time in the towns passed.
AUBURN LOSES FAN
The Auburn, about five miles out, lost
its fan. the fan belt being too taut and
carrying away this necessity, making
it impossible for it to go on with the
contest, although it finished the lap in
good time.
Gordon, at the wheel of the Speed
well. when given the word to go. start
ed off with slow but steady pull, con-
veying very strongly to the spectators
the fact that there was "a hours of
steady going before him.
A novelty Of the event was the ap
pearance of the members of the firm of
Osen & Hunter auto company and their
friends. in racing caps of Mitchell
blue" across the front of which were
pinned small Mitchell pins.
The Durocar went out on the first
round on account of the oiler freezing
up. while the Studebaker 40 entered
by private owners, went out as a re-
suit of being too heavily penalized for
stopping outside the San Leandro con-
troll to fill the radiator.

INSPECT SILVER
GLANCE DISTRICT

D. H. Walker made trip yester-
day in his auto to the Silver Glance
district to inspect the new strike
made on the lease operated by Con-
rad and LAM. Mr.. Walker stated
that the men are working in a cut
about fifteen feet deep and twenty
feet in length and are sacking every
thing extracted They have about
300 tons sacked awaiting shipment.
Two shifts are employed and the OPP
orators are rushing the development.
The ledge has been opened up for a
distance between 1000 and 1900 feet
and every sample taken shows that
the good values traverse the entire
length. The ore bears a strong re-
semblance to the ores in this camp
and have about the same values, that
is about three-fourths silver and the
balance gold
The ledge appears to be widening
out at the bottom of the cut and
should this prove to be so it will be
one of the greatest properties in the
state.

A PROMINENT
J Miner TALKS On
CONTRACTING

A well-known mining operator
who was engaged in the rather diff
cult pastime of wading through an
ore contract with one of the smelling
companies, had an idea that NAV
bear fruit. The idea entered his head
after a vain attempt to master the
intricacies of ore-contracts, and to a
press representative he said:
am not above the average min
ing operator in intelligence, yet at
the same time l do not lay claim to
being more dense than the average
man in my line. But when it comes
to comprehending these complicated
ore contracts, and comprehending
them in time to save damage to the
company that follows an acceptance
or the contract, 1 must confess I am
pretty well floored l wish the mine
operators of the west would get to-
gether and positively inform the GUS
to msmetlers that not a ton of ore
will be shipped until simple form.
of ore contracts is provided for and
used.
But failing in this line, | would
advise some bright mining or smelt-
ing engineer to open an office in Salt
Lake City and advertise himself as
an ore selling expert. Let him make
a specially of entering into ore con-
tracts for his clients after he makes
a thorough study of the particular
rock to be disposed Of AS the auth
orized agent for mining companies,
let him oversee the sampling and
settlements for ores. There are not
four mine operators out of hun
dred that feel definite certain and
sure of an ore contract into which
they have entered. There sthe lnrk-
ing fear that penalty here or an
apparently innocent clause there will
Just about wipe him off the face of
the earth without warning. 1t is a
terrible thing to face, and l know
from experience Teh average min
ing manager hesitates to show his ig-
norance, and will bluff his way
through, when in fact, he is the only
one bluffed.''

STATE CONTROLLERS REPoRT

Controller Eggers has our thanks
for a copy of his annual report. Ac-
cording to the figures given in the
report, it cost the taxpayers $780,
973.12 to carry on the state govern
ment last year. The controller esti-
mates the cost of the state govern
ment for 1909 at $1,37S,240. He
says that with ordinary prudence in
appropriations and average economy
in expenditure a tax of SO cents on
the 500 assessed valuation ought to
be enough to defray the expenses of
the state government for the next
two years, and leave surplus for
the next legislature.
