LEARN FROM MINNIE
APOLlS HOW TO KEEP
THEIR CITIES CLEAN

Minneapolis is blazing a new trail
She has found out that no city that
wants to be clean city can neglect
it's garbage handling, and she has
gone to work to set a pace for the
rest of us. The real beauty Of it,
too, is that she has solved the garbage
problem-or more nearly solved it
than has anybody else, up to date
She may be said to stand first in the
list of cities in America in the sOlu-
ton of the sanitary disposal OF refuse
and other towns are sending delegatio
to inspect this garbage system. Win
nepeg has already patterned after it.
Nearly four years ago this cam
paign to handle garbage without nui-
sance was started and today it is
pronounced an unqualified success.
No more are there foul maggOty gar
bage cans and all because a city or
dinance provides that every house
wife shall drain the garbage of all
moisture and wrap it in a paper be
fore putting it in the can. This not
only insures a clean can, but the
spaces between the paper allow the
air to circulate and keep the garbage
from freezing and adhering to the can
in cold esaosns. In other words, heat
moisture and the fly are all eilminat-
ed. Any kind of paper can be used,
but as a rule there is plenty Of wrap
ping paper that comes around pack
ages from the grocer and butcher, as
well as old newspapers, that the
housewife is glad to get rid of. That
all this may be done properly the
board of health issues printed card
of directions for the housewife and ad-
vfses that it be hung in her kitchen.
But this is only an important in
PRODUCTION to the story Of the garbage
system which is being adopted by a
large city as unit. When the gar
bage man comes around to collect his
quota he finds clean can, he is not
faced with wet and dripping refuse

He deserves to be and is the most valuable and respected man in the entire west among people who under stand what he has done in the past and is doing now.
 No amount of hard work ever con- vinces him that good luck IS not just in the next gulch and so he goes on. There is probably not prospector in the field who has followed the calling for ten years who has not had in his possession one or two fortunes.

 A Single Shipment.

All former bullion shipment records from the Consolidated mill were brok- en Saturday afternoon, when twenty four bars of bullion valued at 535, ,000s were turned over to the We'll Fargo Express Company for conveyance to the Selby Smelling Company at San Francisco. The total weight of the consignment was 2l37 pounds. The bullion left Goldfeld under heavy guard Sunday morning. The express charge was l6O3 sos. This shipment represents the final cleanup for the month of March, and is undoubtedly the largest single shipment of bullion ever made by any mining company. The next largest made by the Con- solidated company was sent out March 24th, and was valued at A. .500S The next best, made about a month ago, was valued at 337, ,OOOs.
 Since the new refinery was put into commission, the bullion is turned out at about 900 fine, so that a compara- lively small weight contains a very large amount of wealth.-GoldfielC Tribune.

Big Property is Virgin Mine.

Sensational discoveries have been made in the old Commonwealth mine, near Pearce, since it was taken over by the Clark interests of Nevada short time ago. IJhas been found that reserve of commercial ore in sight is 75,OOO tons instead of 25,0O0, as had been supposed, that the enrichment extends to the hanging wall as well as the foot wall and that the mine is practically a virgin property, though it has produced SlO,0O0,O00 worth of gold and silver.
 When the Clarks were negotiating for the Commonwealth the former own CTS represented their ore reserve to be 25,OOO tons. Now engineers say that the Clarks secured the mine for a mere fraction of its value, simply be- cause the owners did not know what they were selling.
 As soon as the Clark crowd took charge. engineers were sent to the Commonwealth to make a more thor
 
 ough investigation. From the bottom of the shaft, which is now down 45O feet. a crosscut was run to the hang ing wall and It was found that all the rock in between the hanging wall and shaft was rich in gold. Before that it had been regarded as worthless. All the ore taken out and treated had been from the other side of the shaft,
 What is more. the gold values were greater at the 450-foot level than above. They showed a steady increase from the surface down, while the sil- yer held about the same.
 A member of the Clark coterie passed through Phoenix two or three days ago. He is reported to have said that arrangements will be made at once to work the Commonwealth on a scale more extensive than ever in it's history.
 The Clarks exploited the famous Nevada Hills mine, finally selling it to the Goldfeld Consolidated company at a profit of millions of dollars. They also worked the Florence, another Ne vada bonanza, under. an engineers lease, with great profit. They now believe, however, that in the Common wealth they have better proposition than either the Nevada Hills or the Florence.
 No mine in Arizona has a more in- teresting history than the Common wealth. It was located nearly twenty five years ago and when the shaft had been sunk 35 feet it sold for Sl35, GOO Several American millionaires were started on the road to wealth by Com. monwealth dividends.
