settlers and built a church Of sod, the
only one of it's kind in Trip county.

CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUM0R

81 think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema | have
ever heard Of. My mother had a child
WHO had a rash on its head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called it baby
rash. He gave US medicine, but It did
no good. In a few days the head was
a solid mass, a running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle of Cuticura Re
solvent, a box Of Cuticura Ointment,
and a bar of CutiCura Soap. We gave
the ResOlvont as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the CutiCura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
vas clear and free from eczema, and
1t has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had a beau
tiful head of hair. I think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
1t makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept. 10, 1910.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold everywhere, q sample
of each, with 22-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cuti-
.ura." Dept. II L, Boston.

Labor Day

The Toledo Blade thinks that those
that conceived Labor day builded bet
ter than they knew. They not only
taught themselves their strength, but
they emphasized the idea that work
is the bond of brotherhood for all. The
key of the world is work, anu more
and more the part Of the drone Is be-
coming harder to play. That we must
all work is coming to be the general
thought; with 1t comes the thought Of
consideration for ones neighbor. No
man can work and not feel for others.
The Blade goes on to say:
Perhaps this altered view might
have come in the course Of time any
way. 1t was preached by the car
perter OF Nazareth centuries ago. But

Killed by a Pet Pony.

Sioux Falls.-Killed by a pet pony
within an hour after it had been pre-,
scented to him by his father was the
fate of Albert Holmes, the ~17-year-old
son of Geo. Y. Holmes, a well known
rancher of western Stanley county.
When the boy mounted the animal the
pony became balky, and to urge it
along spurs were used. These had
scarcely touched it when the animal
lunged and violently threw its rider.
After a time the boy arose to his feet,
took two or three steus and then fell

vessel in the brain.

HOW BURNT CORK IS MADE
Product OF Theatrical "PaInt Facto-
rles" Just As Are Other Cos
netlcs Used by Profession.
Dated August Fl, 1911

The popular impression as to the
application Of burnt cork by minstrel
performers and actors in general is
that II Is rubbed on the face and
hands Of the player from O cork whose
end Is charred in q convenient gas
Jet. This impression is, however, in.
correct. The burnt cork used by min.
strels and others is the product OF
the theatrical paint factories" Just
40 Is any other cosmetic or pigment
employed by the profession.
One house makes It In the follow.
Ing manner: The corks are placed In
three tin vessels. resembling washboil.
ers, with holes punched in their sides
and bottom. Alcohol Is sprinkled over
the corks and then they are fired"
When the corks have been properly
charred they are placed in muslin
sacks, which are kneaded in barrels
Of water. This operation forces the
powdered charcoal through the sacks
into the water.
When all the charred corks have
been worked through tho sacks into
the water In this way the water IL
drained through a close canvas sack,
and what remains In that sack 10
ready for the performers. The stun
is put up in cans. from which. when
the minstrel Is ready to BLACK up"
he takes little of tho black paste in
his hands and applies II to his face,

and silver that is on the lower
stratas and in the sands.
1t is natural to suppose that
considerable gold and silver could
be taken from about the batteries.
This has been done and with it a
lot Of quicksilver. 1t has made a
nice bunch Of money for the new
owner.
The cleanup has developed con-
siderable ancient history. While
prospecting around with pan in
tracing up gold Mr.. Ambrose an d
his associates have run across the
foundation Of the first mills erected
on the river. This was an arastra
erected by the Mexicans before the
day Of the white mar. They
brought a ditch from a point
brio" the prison to a small mill
near the backsm tn shop erected a
year later. A considerable amount
of free gold lis being taken from
the ground at this point. The
character of the quartz differs in
every respect from the Comstock
ores. The specimens that are
found are a rich copper IRE with
free gold. Some of the specimens
when ground in a mortar show a
large string of yellow metal.
Where this ore came from is
the question that is agitating the
minds of many. 1t resembles the
ores from Pine Nut, but no work
in that section shows the am punt
Of ore that must have been ex-
tracted to keep an arastra going
and leave the amount of high
grade that is found near the work

among the old timers remember
the arastra. 1t has been a rumor
for years that such mill had been
run before the white man invaded
this section. The evidence is now
DISCLOSED and those who have seen
The specimens of the ore say it is
clear that it came from some
district remote f !'om the Comstock.

POTASH DEPOSITS E.&(
Of NYE COUNTY

'In making horseback trip
down south last week stopped at
Blue Eagle. which is only eight
mil es from the famous strike of
potash in Nye county," says f. A.
Dean in the Ely Record. Going
from Ely to Currant Creek. the
distance from there TO the fields is
only rs miles. So that really
these fields are as near Ely as they
are to Tonopah Or Goldfcld.
"The potash on the Curface

Saborn has headed a company
that has taken up a new section of
this ground. Associated with
him are Martin Horton of Blue
Eagle. Ralph and Paul Irwin of
Duckwater, Mr.. Mcmillan of Cur
rant and others, all of whom are
vrey sanguine about the prospects.
"A party of Goldfeld. Tonpoah
and other southern men have
formed company of SO men. who
each put in $50. and n $1,000 drill
will at once be put ON the
ground to ascertain whether the
per cent of potash increases with
depth. and there is another and
larger company now forming.
THE Locke ranch is only two
miles from the strike. and Eu gene
Locks is also interesed in it. There
is lots of water here. so that the
flushing and : purifying of the
mineral can be easily accomplish
ed.
"There is no doubt in my mind
but that drilling down will show
a large body of waite heavily i'm
pregnated with potash. and shoul d
this prove true the future of thi 8
field Is assured.
THE country around tsre is Il
most wonderful one. Near this
potash find soda Is found in such a
pure state that it has been used in
baking biscuits just as ii is taken
from the grou nd. There are also
very large salt deposits.
"Blue Eagle which Is only eight
mile from the strike, has a store,
and all supplies can be obtained
there.

have already been taken up and
