louis Waln,s cats.

Here is a good story of Louis Vain
the well-known artist whose draw
dngs of cats are worldwide in their
reputation.
He strolled into variety theater
one night, and was introduced to a
man there.
Casually his friend remarked that
this was Louis Vain, whose cats we're
SO famous.
The man, after studying his pro

remarking: "And what time, sir, does
your cat turn come along here?

METHODS OF KEEPING EGGS
of Many Different Ways Tried IN oeN
many Three Most Effective @FS
Given Herewith.

In Germany twenty methods OF pro
serving eggs have been tried VI
these tests the three most effective
were coating the eggs with vasehne,
preserying them with lime water ana
preserving them with water. glass. AS
the object of the preservation Is 10
keep out germs, vaseline or some 9TH
er tasteless grease. such as fresh put-
ter. may be used. The process CON
sists OF greasing the eggs all over as
soon as they are laid. then setting
them on end in clean Jar until want
ed for use. Eggs can be kept In THIS
way for three or four months.
The process OF keeping eggs in lime
water ia as follows. Slack four. pounds
OF line. then add four pounds OF salt
and eight gallons OF water. sur ana
leave to settle. Next day stir again
After the mixture has settled the sec
ond time, draw of the pure liquid
Take two ounces each Of baking soda,
cream OF tartar. saltpeter and ittle
alum. Pulverize and mix and dis
solve in two quarts of boiling water
Add to this the lime water. Put the
eggs in stone jar, small end down,
one layer on top of another. and pour
on the solution. Set the Jar away In
cool place. While the method is
satisfactory, 1t is not al good as water
glass, as the eggs are liable to taste
of the lime. Undoubtedly the best
preseryatiye for keeping eggs is wa
ter glass, in using water glass the diff
fcult point is the tendency of water
glass to vary IN quality.
Water glass is also called soluable
glass, or dissolved glass, liquid glass
and silicate of soda. Water glass is
made by melting together pure quartz
and caustic alkali, soda or potash.
It is imported here In tin cans, and is
a thick or jelly-like liquid. At several
experiment stations there have been
some very exhaustive experiments
with this dissolved glass In preserving
eggs. The reports are without excep-
( ton in favor Of It.
The directions for uGs are: Use
I pure water which has been thoroughly
/ boiled and cooled To each nine
quarts Of this water add one quart of
water glass. Pack the eggs In the
/ Jar and pour the solution over the
eggs. The solution may be prepared,
/ placed in the jar and fresh eggs added
from time TO time until the jar is
I filed, but care must be used to keep
! fully two inches of water glass solu-
ton over the eggs. Keep the eggs
( IN cool place. and the jar covered
TO prevent evaporation. A cool cellar
is good place in which to keep the
eggs.
10 prevent bursting when boiled,
prick the egg at the large end. This
will allow the gas to escape. Stone
Jars are the best receptacles for eggs,
though five gallon kerosene cans and
lard pals may also be used. It costs
about 1iz cents per Dozen to preserve
eggs in this manner, and thJ Will
seep for eight months.

DRIFTING PROGRESSES ON
VICTOR CLAIM OF C. 0. D.

GOLDFIELD, oct. 22.-Development
continues with favorable results on the
Victor claim of the c. o. d. where
drifting is in progress in large quartz
ledge on the 450-level This body or
quartz is especially promising, as II
carries more or less ore and is pc
lieved to be the downward extension
of one of the best ore bodies hereto
fore opened in levels above.
Prospecting work on the 3OO-leVei
has recently given a new line on the
high grade streak that was lost over
a year ago, and shows that it Jumped
back into the wall, behind a well de-
fined slip, and it seems apparent that
it will again open as strong as ever.
The Iowa lease which is operating
through the Stills shaft on the Gold
Bar claim is prosecuting to the north
west on the 600 level to tap the big
ledge that courses through the old
Kansas City lease block, which is the
ground held under lease by the Iowa
company. The fact that the Stills Shalt
is much deeper than the Kansas city
and is well equipped was the reason for
crosscutting from here instead of sink
ing the Kansas City shaft. AS the
ledge dips toward the Stills shaft it can
be developed better from here than
from any other point.
IT is believed that within short
time work will be resumed on the Cop
per-Gold lease on the Gold Bar, ar
rangements for the financing of which
are now being carried on, the plans
including the construction of a mill.

TENT PLACER
MINERS GET C0L0RS

NEVADA CITY, Oct. 22.-Word has
been received in this city to the effect
that after years of faithful prospect
ing profitable gravel has been encoun-
tered in the Oriental mine, above Mig
ger Tent. 1t is said that the channel
shows some very fine gravel, and the
company that is operating the property
is highly pleased with the latest de-
velopments. Frank Lewis of Campton-
vile is in charge of operations, he be-
ing one of the oldest and most skilled
miners in the upper country.
The Orient is owned by several peo-
pie residing at North San Juan, who
have held the property for many years,
expanding many thousand dollars in
running tunnels and sinking shafts to
find the channel. They have ever had
an abiding faith in the Orient, and 1t
is to be hoped that at last the mine
will realize the fond expectations of the
owners. 1t is situated in section
that in years gone has yielded rich
gravels and it would not be surprising
if the Orient is about to inaugurate an
era of prosperity.

NEW ORANGE DISTRICT
DEVELOPED IN VALLEY
Location is Six Miles from Ba.
kerSfieId, Shire City of
Kern County

on the Southern Pacific and Santa
Fe railroads. six miles out of Bakers
field, at Edison station, is a tract of
land owned by the Edison Land &
Water company that is being highly
improved for citrus culture and sold
with water rights appurtenant to the
land. 1t is said that this company has
spent in excess of $15O,OOO during the
past year in developing and demon
strating the land. One of the features
of the development is a very complete
water system consisting of deep well,
Pomona pumps operated by electric
motors and carrying water in I'M
foreground cOnduits to the highest cor
ner of each lot of land. 1t is said
that the water supply is ample and
of perfect temperature. There are q
dozen or more groves which were
planted out during the past year. IL
is claimed by the owners of this land
that frost is practically unknown.
Some of the best known orange men
of Riverside have invested their money
in this land and are planting groves.
Notably among these are Jack Lloyd
of the Arlington Heights Fruit com
pany and Thomas J. Leeds of Leeds
& Wollcott, Riverside.
AS this is the most stupendous de-
velopment of citrus land in Kern
county it is naturally looked upon with
a great deal of interest. it is said that
these public bodies are indorsing the
proposition very strongly. The reason
for the gigantic development of this
citrus land is occasioned by the re-
markable success of the San Emigdio
orange grove on the other side of the
Weed Patch from Edison. There is a
fifty-acre grove on this ranch that is
claimed to be the finest in the state;
the fruit from which has always taken
the first prize at every citrus fair,
when they were placed on exhibition,
The normal crop off this ranch sells for
$1,000 per acre. The high price obtained
for the fruit is on account of it's bril-
liant color, fancy size, early fruit and
cleanliness Smut and scale are an un-
known thing in this locality.

Mountain district of the light oil belt,

"Since making the above report, l

have been run into the mountain on
