YELLOW PINE STRIKES
HIGH GRADE ZINC ORE

Visitors from Goodsprings this week
report a big zinc strike on the Prairie
Flower claim, on the Sandy side OF the
Yellow Pine Mining district about one
half mile north of the well-knoWn Kent
mine. saws the Clark County Review.
The strike was made by Bill Allen, who
has uncovered a body of high-grade
zinc ore at least twenty-five feet WIDE
probably the biggest ever found IN the
district. The surface showing Ger
tainly surpasses any ever seen in that
section, excepting perhaps the Monte
Cristo. The ore contains no lead or
silver and can be treated with the ut
most success at the Kansas smelter
Shipping will begin at once.
Jesse Knight of Tintic, Utah, has
taken a thiry-day option on the prop
erty from the owners, Sam Nont ana
Bill Allen. The claim was formerly
for years held by previous owners as
gold claim.
The Tintic mining man has also
taken over the lease and bond on
the Milford zinc mine and will pur-
chase when due. Two or three car
loads have been shipped from this
mine during the past month, loading
at Roach siding. about twelve miles
south of Jean. The Sandy side of the
district finds It more convenient to
ship from Roach than from Jean. The
haul to the railroad at that point viii
run from twelve to eighteen miles,
from different mines.
Harry Riddall of Goodsprings claims
10 have discovered a new process for
smelling the ore of that district that
will save all the values, at greatly re-
duced cost. The process is fireless and
has been successfully tested on a small
scale

DENIES MOTION FOR NEW
TRIAL IN M'CR0SSAN CASE
Attorneys for Defendant in Alleged
Mine SwlndIe Seek to Have
Judgment Arrested

Judge Willis of the criminal court
yesterday denied the motion of Attor-
ney Paul Schenck for a new trial in
the case of Charles w. McCrossan,
oonviced December II on a charge of
issuing in August, 1907, a false pros
pectus regarding the value of the Cor
oillera Mining company's property.
Arguments were then heard for and
against the motion for an arrest of
judgment. which, if granted. would
have the effect of throwing the case
back almost to the point of beginning,
leaving the matter in the hands of
Judge Willis TO act as he deemed best
without reference to the jury's YER
dict A number Of authorities relative
to this motion were submitted by At
torney Schenck and Deputy District

Willis stated he would render his, de-

STATUS OF EGGS IS
A SERIOUS PROBLEM
HEARING IN PROGRESS UNDER
PURE FOOD LAW
Product of Hens Is "Fresh,"
Eastern" "Ranch" or
Storage"
when is an egg strictly fresh?

When is an egg strictly fresh?
This question is agitating the minds
Of experts from all parts Of the state,
especially dealers in Southern Califor-
mia and members of the state board of
health, now holding a special meeting
in the offices of James A. Gibson, 71S
Pacific Electric building representa-
tives Of the Petaluma egg exchange of
/ PPetaluma, Cal, of the San Francisco
exchange and of the local produce ex-
change are giving testimony as to
fresh, ranch, storage, candled and
| other eggs, so that the health officers
may arrive at a proper means of clas-
styling eggs according to the provisions
of the new pure food law.
According to the testimony so far
given at the hearing the only real way
of telling whether eggs are strictly
fresh is by breaking them open. If
squawk greets the breaker the egg is
not fresh.
Another way of telling the freshness
of eggs is by the price. If the price be
so cents a dozen the eggs probably are
strictly fresh. If the price be 80 cents
the eggs probably have been stored
for a long time and may safely be
CALLED storage eggs.
Dr. julius Koebig, an expert chem
list, was called yesterday to tell what
he believes is the best method of
Gambling eggs. He said the method
employed by the Los Angeles egg
merchants in handling their product is
the best known to science.
That eggs may remain in storage for
two months and still not be called
storage eggs was one Of the significant
facts brought out at the hearing last
night. AD egg must have been placed
in storage in April or May, and have
been frozen solid for at least five
months, before it is a storage egg,'
according to the evidence.
The hearing, which is a continuation
of the one begun in Sacramento De-
cember 8, probably will be concluded
tomorrow. j. c. Gardner, attorney for
the state board of health, and M. T.
Jaffa, director of the state laboratory,
represent the state, and Judge Gibson
represents the egg men. The mer-
chants are more anxious than the
members of the health board to have
the question Of egg freshness decided.
The difficulties incident to complying
with the pure food law will be over
come largely when eggs are properly
labeled and known as fresh, ranch,
eastern or storage, as the case may be

WELL IN, SECTION 5,
NORTH MIDWAY, MAY
RIVAL SANTA FE SIX
Gusher on st. Lawrence Property
Starts to Flow at the Rate
of Two Thousand
Barrels

That the big Santa Te gusher in Sec
tion Six, North Midway, has either
rival or a close second In point Of pro-
duction IS evidenced on the st. Lawrence
property In Section Five. The report
current in Los Angeles yesterday Is that
a well brought in about n month ago in
the southwest corner of the southeast
quarter of Section Five had just begun
to flow with capacity of at least 2O0o
barrels q day. The Santa Fe well ON
Section Six is conceded to be flowing
a4OO barrels and some have placed the
maximum at 1000 barrels.
The report on the st. Lawrence was
in the form of advance news and the
flow of 1000 barrels is given as con-
servative estimate and later develop
ments will probably disclose figures in
excess OF this estimate.
Clarence j. Berry left Sunday night
for the Midway fields after receiving an
nouncemeut that a well owned by him
in the southwest corner OF the southeast
quarter Of Section SO had started with a
flow of 1000 barrels day.

Second Sand UndeVeIoped
The ground covered by the Capital
Crude and Pyramid is up on the hill,
and there are two lines of seepages be.
low, showing the existence of a second
sand apparently 400 feet deeper, with
q stratum of shale intervening. The
Pyramid has contracted for the build
ing of a second standard rig, which 1t
expects to have ready to begin drilling
No. 4 well by January l. 1t has not
been determined yet whether this well
viii be carried on down to the second
sand, and the decision of the manage
ment will be governed to some eXtent
by the production of the well now
drilling. If this we'll comes in strong,
enabling the company to materially in
crease its production and thereby put
ting it on a self-sustaining basis, it is
likely that the next well will be carried
down to the second sand.
There is a strong gas pressure in
this section, and even the old wells on
the Pyramid furnish sufficient gas for
fuel for the boilers and for domestic
purposes at the camp. The oil is high
gravity.

cry way. A large company was in at
tendance. Much interest was added
by young man who had sailed on the
Oregon on the voyage around the

the voyage and his ideas of the ports
visited. One of the questions asked
him was, If he found any country he
like better for home than the Cnited
States. He replied decidedly, mo,

steal programme and readings made a
pleasant entertainment.
