Onion Juice.

Cook books usually say that onion
Juice should be extracted by cutting
an onion in two and rubbing the cut
surface against a crater. Considering
how hard it is to wash crater, this
method has its drawbacks. Small
amounts of juice may be obtained in
the following simpler way: Peel the
onion and extract few drops of juice
by pressing one side with the dull

"Only half century DID," says Allen
G.. Nichols, in the Coalinga Record, the
oil industry Of the United States has
already exported more than two billion
dollars worth Of the refined material.
In other words the total amount re-
ceived in so years for refined oil ex-
ported has been greater than the value
of the entire production of gold In the
United States since Columbus d1scoV-
cred the United States
Since 1885, the year in which eO
small TASKS were sent to France as an
experimental shipment, the amount sex-
ported has been greater in value than
the production of gold in the entire
world for the same period. Within the
memory Of living man. the infant has
grown to a giant industry that gives
employment to 10000 men in the fields
and refineries alone, and whose annual
payroll amounts to millions of dollars.
"Oil has solved the fuel question.
Cheap fuel is cheap power. and power
is the handspring of civilization BY
the use of oil fuel the great railroad
systems have been able to pay dividends
on account of the money saved by the
difference in the cost in the transporta-
ton of the fuel.
The amount received for crude oil
for the year just passed in the Califor-
uia fields was in the neighborhood or

triple RICH STRIKE IN
DISTRICT CLOSE TO CANANEA.

The rich strike reported last week
as made in the Montoya shaft Of the
Santa Fe Consolidated Mining company,
IA miles east of Cananea, according
to the Sonora News, turns out to be
not only one, but three strikes, as ore
was discovered in the shaft, in q cross
cut in the so foot level, and in a drift on
the 100 foot level, the latter having a
full face of ore.
The strike in the shaft is considered
the biggest yet made in that district,
and assays high in silver. The ore
in the crosscut assays rs ounces IN
silver and IS percent lead. Assays OF
the ore in the shaft ran 1873 percent lead
and 10.9 percent zinc.
The Santa Fe property instead OF
copper, will be a lead-zinc-silver mine
and promises to be one of the greatest
in the district. The formation is iden-
teal with that in the Calumet and Ari-
IONA mine in that district.
