Good Proeress Reported

A contract was let last Monday and
work begun for driving the Almira
tunnel, north of Dumont, until it
reaches . point Immediately below the
Chloride Belle claim, one Of the Chica-
60 Belle group and one Of the proper
ties of the General Consolidated Mines
Company. The breast Of the Almira
tunnel is in a distance of fifty five feet
and by extending it fifty feet
more it will then be sunk to the
tunnel level after which it is the in
tention of the General Consolidated
officials to push the tunnel the entire
fifteen hundred feet on this rich vein.
In the shaft Of the Chloride Belle ore
has been taken out while sinking that
averaged twenty-seven dollars per ton
from wall to wall and getting better
as depth proceeds. Good quantities of
high grade ore running from seven to
twenty ounces gold per ton were ia
ken out along with the lower grade. The
entire group is very rich in the precious
metals and the company was very for

with their other rich holdings. The
work is under the supervision of the
company's experienced and efficient
superintendent, Charles L. Jaynes, who
expects to begin saving ore right at
the inception Of the work. The presi-
dent of the company, DR.. j. Enos Wait
of Superior, Nebraska, will come out
n few days and will spend a week
consulting with the Board of Directors
in reference to pushing the work on
some other properties as we'll as in
creasing the workings on the Chicago
Belle group. He will make thorough
examination of the properties with the
view of assisting him to decide along
with the others the very best and most
economical method of development and
how to obtain the very best results
with the least expenditure of funds.
The company has been organized in the
most business-like manner and the
officers have but one central desire
and that is that those investing shall
have square deal" and that each
and every stockholder shall be taken
into their confidence in everything per-
tanning to the management, work &C.
complished, what is going on and all
other details. People who put their
money in any business have right to
know what is being done with it and
this company proposes that they shall
know. The men composing the di.
rectorate are such as to give assur'
ance that they will do what they say
and carry out all promises.

Many of the men working in the
mines operated through the Newhouse
tunnel have had several days lay off
owing to the burning out of the electric
motors and the consequent inability Of
the management to haul out the loads
of waste and ore. For some time there
has been scarcity of motive power
and cars owing to the increased demand
which had materially interfered with
the larger properties. Where work was
dependent upon the movement of such
this week, the properties effected were
obliged to temporarily shut down. 1t
is expected that all will resume by
Monday.

Rockford People Active

Manager Fred Nye of the Rockford
tunnel informs us that extensive prep
arations are being made to drive the
work with renewed vigor and also to
make some additional outside improve
ments. The order has been placed for
lumber to build house for the con-
venience of the men in changing their
clothing and accommodations for them
of a general nature. Two barns will
be built, one for the horses belonging
to the men who drive to their shifts
and another for the tram mules. There
are other outside improvements in
contemplation and which no doubt will
be carried out in the near future and
which will add to the convenience and
qualification of the numerous stock
holders and guests of the company.
The work in the Centurian tunnel has
been temporarily suspended as the de-
velopement will be concentrated in the
Rockford tunnel. The Donaldson drift
will be driven to connect with an up
kaise to the Centurian and when this
ID accomplished all the work can be done
through the Rockford. This will prove
the most economical and effective way
of pushing the work. After the Dom
aldson drift intersects the upraise to
the Centurion, shipments from the lat
ter the workings will be made to great
advantage and the entire workings will
be handled in way to bring the lar
gest returns with the least expenditure
of funds. Mr.. Nye will continue to
give his undivided attention not only
to the inside developments but also to
the outside improvements at the per-

How to Wash Windows.

Windows should never be washed
while the sun shines directly on them.
for this is sure to cause streaks to APP
pear on them. OF course the glass
may be wiped dry as soon as it is
washed, but this is twice the work.
since one must rub until the glass is
perfectly dry. This is not necessary
If the sun is not shining on the win
dows. for it does not add anything to
the appearance of the windows when
finished. If the glass is badly soiled
and it is necessary to apply good
deal of water to remove the dust and
stains, it is better to wash with plenty
of wafer and than- LET the glass dry
and then sponge the window off again.
This will remove all the streakS left
by the first washing. Should the glass
become too dry before you return to
finish the drying it may be sponged
over again with the sponge wrung dry
out of hot water. Always let the win
dow stand for few minutes after
washing it before drying it and it will
dry much easier and in but half the
time.

How to Make Them Appetizing With
Little Trouble.
The housewife who learns The art Of
making sandwiches is always welt
fortified against problems when serv-
Ing an informal luncheon to guests.
Close grained bread should be used.
for coarse bread will crunibe And
bread baked in round tins is prefera-
bic to that cut into slices and cut with
q biscuit cutter, since the baked edges
preserve The shape. Moist Filings
should be laid between lettuce leaves,
and by buttering the bread the moiG-
ture cannot penetrate IT, making 1t
Soggy. Melted butter can be used II
it is not soft enough to spread. A
salmon sandwich Is Il tempting article
of food and should be half mixed
with chopped boiled egg and very
thin slices of olives and pickles The
wise hostess will make two different
kinds of sandwiches. some with the
mixture moistened with vinegar or
lemon juice. others without. for many
persons cannot take acids. Practically
all meat sandwiches are extremely
rich. and strong condiments are no.
ticeable in the filling. especially mus
lard and catchup. While white meat
makes delicate sandwich. vet the
darker meats. mixed with mayonnaise
and other relishes, are more uppetiz-
ing in every way.
When hot sandwiches are served at
n MONDAY luncheon at home the con-
tents of the sandwiches are placed be-
tween the layers Of bread and fried.
or the bread is toasted and covered
with Il cooked meat filing. then COW
cred With hutterPd toast and served
hot. Peanuts mixed with mayonnaise
and sliced egC make Il good sandwich.
They make II fruit sandwich which
is we'll liked by those who are fond
of fruit and bread. The filling con
sists of chopped dates. figs. lemon
juice and ground nuts, lightly mixed
with tart jelly. The bread is but
tered for this Candied fruits are
often used. but often the sandwich
is Il bread cake. more of the angel
food cake variety. filed with fruits
and moistened with cherry juice or
the liquor from preserved pineapple
or peaches.

How to CLAN JeweIry.

Small articles Of jewelry, especially
the silver kind, will be difficult to clean
in the hands of an inexperienced per-
son. since dull silver is more difficult
to restore to its former beauty than
gold. The best method is to immense
the brooch, ring or pin in solution
of cyanide OF potash, procurabIe at any
drug store. Do not let the liquid touch
the fingers. Let remain in the liquid
for two minutes. remove and wash in
hot soapsuds. This will be sufficient
to restore the brilliancy of the metal.
The best method of cleaning chain
bracelets or necklaces of gold is to
make paste of ammonia and whiting
and rub this into the tiny links with
a soft brush, afterward washing the
pieces in soft water and polishing with
a chamoiS.

How to Eake Cookies.

II your family bankers after small
cakes it will be found to be a paying
investment to. have special baking
sheets made. Have your timer cut
fiat pieces Of sheet iron with edges
turned up about quarter of an inch
or less. These should just fit the
oven. but must not be so tight as to
stick Two or three of such sheets
will suffice for a good sized baking,
and there is no time lost scraping
pans to regrease for second lot. The
fat sides make it easier to slip a
knife under and slip the cake from the
pan. For chocolate drops or cookies
buttered papers can be used on the
sheets
