GOLD CIRCLE IN
PRODUCING GLASS

G .
Gold Circle has long passed from
the prospect stage and Is now
looked upon as one of the most
substantial camps in the State,
with many mines that have been
developed into producers Of the
precious yellow metal. Perhaps
the most interesting property in
the district at the present time is
what is known as the Elko Prince.
This estate is opened for over
600 feet along the strike of the
vein and at depth of $40 feet by
tunnels, and there is a Wine down
ninety feet from the lowest level.
The vein, which is about eighteen
inches wide, shows great per-
manency and regularity of values.
At the bJttom Of the winze ore is
being hoisted that assays $43O to
the ton and in all the other levels
the ore shows good values. A 25-
ton carload shipment is to be sent
out right away from this property
and the samplin ing shows that the
lot will average $500 to the ton.
The Esmeralda' is another
property in the camp that is pro-
ducing bonanza ore. The owners
Of this property at the present
time are extracting ore that runs
from $500 to $1,000 to the ton in
gold and this rich ore is being
worke d in an arrastra. In what is
Known as the reserve block of
ground on the Esmeralda, which
is under operation by the owners,
very rich ore is being extracted.
The Colorado G:andees' property
has been taken over under option
by Messrs. Moore and Howell and
the shaft which is being sent down
on the estate is opening up a large
body Of milling ore. Mr.. Moore of
the new management is expected
to arrive from New Jersey about
April /, when extensive operations
will be started.
The lower tunnel. ION the Rex
property tapped the Ledge at 1875
feet below the old workings, ex-
posing big body of milling ore.
The ore at this point is so soft
that the greater part of the vein
matter is picked down with
very little powder being used. Mill
operations at the Rex are to
resumed shortly after the 1st of
April.
High-grade ore is being ex-
tracted from a fraction located
between the Hardscrabble and
Esmeralda properties. The ore is
being taken from q shaft that is
being sent down on a good sized
vein.
Considerable activity is shown
on the Eastern Star property
situated on Fraser Creek. The
Management has gasoline hoist or
the road which is expected in camp
any day. When this equipment is
installed deep shafts to be sent
down.
There are good showings of
high-gradc gold ore in all the
workings on tn isproperty and the
company that purchased the es ate
is so we'll satisfied that the pay
msnts for the same are made ahead
Of time.
A great deal Of development
work was accomplished this winter
on the Three Fishes estate with
the result that good ore bodies
are exposed.
There are many other proper ties
in the Gold Circle camp that have
fine disclosures of ore and regard
less of the stringent times the
district is slo Wy forging ahead

much less in the way of gifts he could
do than he would have liked.
But what hurt worst was that, nav

buy the bicycle that he had promised
his boy Santa Claus would bring.
He was sorry for the disappoint
ment that he knew the lad would feel
and he decided that it would be best
not to wait and have the disappoint
ment come on Christmas day. So he
went to the lad, manly little chap,
and said:

enough now TO understand things. Each
Christmas when you received gifts you

"BIack and Blue" Bruises Explained

The color of blood is due chiefly to
iron in the little blood cells. When
the iron is kept in these little blood
cells, which are living and travelling
around in the blood vessels, the color
Is red. Hit the skin hard enough to
break some Of the little blood vessels
beneath the surface and the little red
cells escape from the injured blood
vessels, wander around for a while
in the tissues, and die.
When they die the iron that made
them red before then changes to
black-and-blue coloring. After a while
this iron is taken up by the glands
called the lymphatics and made over
again into nice red cells The iron
is taken up very much more quickly
by the lymphatics if the black-and-
blue spot is rubbed and massaged.
