Where Did You Get That Cold?

The victim of a cold Is particular
ly deserving of sympathy because he
gets none. He is really i'll, but not
sufficiently so to be confined to his
house. Not being in his bed, and his
nose and throat making themselves
disagreeably conspicuous wherever
he goes. the world turns TO him the
cold shoulder at a time when any
thing cold is peculiarly unwelcome.
He is often asked where he got
that cold. and he is probably quite
unable TO say. Some years ago. The
London Lancet remarked that TAX
ing cold was a matter of the magma
ton. but as a man is generally I'M
conscious of il when taking cold,
this is nonsense. If a man thinks
he knows when he caught cold he
connects his affection with exposure
TO a low temperature or a draught.
Medical science in its present stage
looks upon a low temperature as
harmless unless a chill be caused and
everybody al recall lots of instances
when he was very cold but did not
catch cold, and a draught Is %recogniz-
ed as wholesome. Ii brings fresh air
10 our nostrils, and the worst thing
We can do is to breathe the air that
We or others have already breathed.
DR.. Lee, who is delivering some
lectures on hygiene at Columbia Uni
yersity. is giving some useful infor-
nation by explaining what he and
other doctors do not know. What Is
called a cold, he says. Is a change in
the chemical condition of the body.
which starts into pernicious activity
the dormant bacteria in the throat
and nose. What this change is the
doctors do not know. and what
causes IL they do not know, or. rath-
er, they know several things that do.
IL may be caused by cold or a
draught continued till the natural
temperature Is seriously depressed.
But IL may be caused by too much
heat. and is most often caused by
close, bad air loaded with the germs
exhauled by others.
The best means of assisting the
white corpuscles of the blood in their
encounter with the m%alevolent bac-
terra is another thing; the patient had
better consult his doctor. The i'm
p%oftant thing to remember is that
cold and draughts are o more like
~ 10 a. a cold than heat, and not
nearly so likely as bad air. What
eve contributes TO maintain the gem
eral health is a preventive of colds;
and fresh air, even if it is a little too
fresh for comfort. is one of the best
agencies in maintaining the general
health.

Pacific holds in weight 94S, 000. 000,-

The Atlantic averages a depth of

weighs 1000, 600, coo, 000, 000, 600
tons, and a tank to contain it would
have each of its sides 43O miles long.
The figures of the other oceans are

OF that camp that is surprising the
mining world with its wonderful pro-
duction of extreme high grade ore,
says the Humboldt Star.
The persistent development work
that has been in progress on the Auto
property has proven that a ledge car
rying large bodies of ore of excep-
tionally high values II the precious
metals traverse the holding. The
proving Of this valuable property is
not from surface openings, but big
workings that are down almost 300
feet.
Phil Blume and associates, with
the aid of a fine hosting equipment,
have been sending a shaft down TO
depth and running laterals and 1t is
gratifying to note that this work has
brought them to rich ore bodies.
A erosscut was run from the bot
tom OF the shaft to cut the main
ledge, and this was accomplished a
few days ago. The astonishing fact in
regard to this development is that
the vein Is over eight feet wide and
a number of samples taken across
~ - 6Af'o an Z
suit of about SOS to the ton. When
the great width of the ledge is taken
into consideration, this showing is
wonderful and places the property
among the richest in the state.
AS stringers of ore were cut in run
ming the crosscut from the shaft
showed ore that assayed as high as
$4,000 to the ton. 1t is believed by
drifting on the vein extremely rich
shoots of ore will be encountered.
The Auto group. consisting OF the
Auto, Hill elmer. National No. | and
Fender claims. were purchased from
Mr.. and Mrs. j. l.. Workman only a
short time ago. The property hereto
fore was being worked under bond
and lease by Mr.. Blume and assoei-
ates, and after a great expenditure
of money in persistent development
they completed the purchase of the
holdings and the opening of the rich
ledge at about 300 feet depth has
proved beyond question that they
made a good deal.

PROGRESS At
MASON VALLEY
CONSTRUCTION WELL UNDER
WAY WITH PROSPECTS THAT
SMELLING PLANT WILL BE
BLOWN IN ON SCHEDULE TIME

Jules LaBarth, who has the con-
~struction of the Mason Valley smell
ter in hand, is a trained smelter man
and knows the work from the foun-
dation to the stack. When asked
concerning the progress of the smell
ter at the company site neal Wa
buska recently, he stated that every
thing is progressing as well as could
be expected and that there are no
delays in sight. He was shown the
following from the Salt Lake Tele-
gram which he confirms In every par
ticular:
Unless some Unforeseen mishap
occurs assurances are given that the
Mason Valley smelling plant will be
blown in on schedule time and the
mines OF Y%erington and Mason will
be given an opportunity TO ship their
ores. Some OF the interests in min
ing properties have become impatient
at the delays. but the large interests
that have had this construction work
in hand have every confidence in the
final outcome. Careful experiments
have been conducted in commercials
cation of the ores, and IL is a%nticipat-
ed that the smelter will have no trou-
BILE in converting the product to a
marketable material at a cost that
will permit Of good profits TO the
companies operating the mines. OF
the new smelter company Thompson,
Towle q Co.. who are the prime NOV
ers in Mason Valley, have the follow
ing TO say:
- Aag,r1fn2 To lauf ..Vnrta fr.n,
Mason Valley the work of construct
ing the smelter has been proceeding
without interruption. the weather
having been exceptionally favorable.
The warehouse, carpenter shop and
boarding houses have been finished
and the boiler houses are about com
pleted.
On the smelter construction the
concrete foundations have been fin
ished and the framing of the ore bin
material is under way. Sixteen EAR
loads of lumber have already arrived.
The smelter excavation Is about two
thirds finished, $4,000 yards having
been removed. Work Is now in pro-
gress on the excavation for the power
house and reservoir. Grading for the
ulEn llit ihllNds Ihih Will Dt Npi1-
pleted this month and the track laid
as far as the ore bin trestle.
As TO the equipment at the mine.
surveys have been made and quota
tions received for the tramway ma
terial. This line will be approxim-
ately $500 feet In length. The upper
terminal will be at the mouth Of No.
4 and the lower terminal near Mason
City. The railway grade at the lower
terminal has been completed and the
contract for the track of the tram
way will probably be let within the
next two weeks. Quotations are be-
ing received for the electrical equip
ment, such as motors. electric loco
motives and switch boards and other
electrical machinery has been order
ed and will be shipped in about sixty
days"
Engineer LaBarth stated that he
believed the smelter would be blown
In about the first of September. The
smelter will be of 500 tons capacity
with room left for additional ton
mage as 1t is needed.

The L|BERTE
IS BLOWN UP
Great French BattIeship De-
stroyed in TouIon Harbor.
OVER 400 MAY BE DEAD
Victims of Other Ships - Many
Drowned in Boats Sent to Res
cue Which Sank After Explo-
sion-Men Extricated Alive.

Toulon. France. - The battleship
Liberte was torn apart and totally de-
stroyed by an explosion of her maga-
zines. Between $50 and 400 officers
and men are dead or missing. The
battleship Republique was badly dam
aged, and the battleships Democratic
and Nerite also suffered severely
from the masses of twisted iron and
armor plate that were hurled upon
their decks. Other vessels in the
harbor also were damaged, and the
loss of life was SO great that only
estimates of the number of dead
could be obtained
This is the greatest disaster that
mas ever fallen on the French navy,
and in magnitude it almost without
precedent in the annals of the worlds
fighting ships. The grief which pros
trates the fleet and nation is made
more intense by the memory of the
recent review here, a notable display
OF Frances naval greatness, in which
the doomed ship was one of the finest
figures.
The explosion, which wiped out one
or Frances newest and most powerful
battleships, occurred at 5:53 o'clock
in the morning. 1t was the result of
an outbreak of fire. The flames
spread rapidly despite all efforts to
master them and reached the maga-
zines before there was time to flood
them. The magazines exploded with
tremendous violence, scattering death
and destruction. While the naval au-
thorities estimate the killed at be-
tween $50 and 400, it is feared the
figure will be larger. 1t will be nee
essary to go through the ships mus
ter rolls, task of several days, be-
fore full list if the victims can be
prepared. Several men were extri-
Gated alive from the torn and twisted
mass of wreckage which was once
the Liberte.
Exactly from what cause or when
the fire broke out has not been es-
tablished, but it is believed it had
smoldered for several hours. OF the
vessels full complement of 742 men
Captain Jaures, brother of the Social
ist leader and the second officer in
command were both ashore on leave,
as well as l40 officers and men. The
command of the ship devolved on the
senior lieutenant, who perished. The
bugler who sounded an alarm to all
the men on the Liberte to save them
selves, was blown to the deck of the
Republique and hurt badly
The crew rushed to quarters and
fought desperately the spreading
flames, but it was soon evident that
the fire had obtained a firm hold
