SALTY HISTORY OF
EARLY DAYS IN NEVADA

In the early days of Hamilton.
Eureka. Phoebe and Typo, when
much salt was consumed in the
mills, a canny Scott by the name
Of M'Donald conceived the idea
Of supplying the local demand from
the natural salt succeeded so well
that he was christened the Salty
and went by that name ever after.
Salty's works were located near
where the Saline company is now
drilling for potash and whilr not
extensive, seemed to meet all re
quirements.
Indian squaws we're employed
for labor and were paid so cents,
usually producing two tons of sa t
each per day. Their bucks put
in their time killing jack rabbits,
which were sailed. dried in the
sun and sold to the miners in the
various camps as jerky.
The tools consisted principally
of boards lv4 inches and 3 feet
in length with a handle, by which
the surface of the ground was
scraped smooth. After this was
done the sQuaw went over her plat
with a sprinkling pot and by the
next morning there always was an
inch or more of pure. clean salt
over the surface of the ground.
which needed no refining. 1t was
then sacked and delivered in the
various camps at from SO to SIP
a ton.
Some furnaces also we're used for
cooperating the water and making
what was then known as rock salt,
which was used by the bull .camS,
then the ,nly means of delivering
freight TO the various camps at
long distance from the railroads.
A popularity of this section Of
Railroad valley is the fact that
fresh water can often be had at q
distance of orly a few hundred feet
from saline springs or wells.
Water can be reached at almost
any point in that section of the val,
ley at a depth of IRON two e
three feet from the surface. II
the same ncighborhood are d.
posts of soda which the miners il
the early days used for making
biscuits, and was found to be AZ
excellent substitute for bakinC
powder.
A great portion Of the valley il
low and marshy and impossible u
cross with a wagon. but in one sec
ton there is q gravel bar crossing
the valley, which the Saline com
pany used as a roadway. Anothe.
peculiar feature is the sand dune
which stand up like monuments 70
several miles along the west sid,
of the valley. The sand in thcs.
dunes is packed so hard it cal
hardly be knocked loose with
single jack. The entire vale.
presents an int csting field of re
search for the geolpgist.-Fx

ACTUAL STARVATION.
Facts About Indigestion and Its
= Relief Which Should
Interest You.

Although indigestion and dyspep-
STA are so prevalent, most people do
not thoroughly understand their
cause and cure. There is no reason
why most people should not eat
anything they desire-if they will
only chew it carefully and thor
oughly. Many actually starve them
selves into sickness through fear of
eating every goodlooking, good
smelling and good-tasting food, be-
cause it does not agree with them.
The best thing to do is to fit your
self to digest any good food.
We believe we can relieve Dys-
pepsia. We are so confident of this
fact that we guarantee and promise
to supply the medicine free of all
cost to every one who will use it,
who is not perfectly satisfied with
the results which it produces. We
exact no promises, and put no one
under any obligation whatever.
Surely, nothing could be fairer. We
are located right here and our rep
utation should be sufficient assur-
ance of the genuineness of our Of
fer.
We want every one troubled with
indigestion or dyspepsia in any
form to come to our store and buy
box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets.
Take them home and give them a
reasonable trial, according to direc-
| tions. Then, If not satisfied, come
to us and get your money back.
They are very pleasant to take;
they aid to soothe the irrita-
BILE stomach, to strengthen and in
vigorate the digestive organs. and
to promote healthy and natural
bowel action, thus leading to per-
feet and healthy digestion and as
similation.
A 25c package of Rexall Dyspep-
STA Tablets furnishes Is days treat
ment. In ordinary cases, this is
sufficient to produce cure. In
more chronic cases, a longer treat
ment, of course, is necessary, and
depends upon the severity of the
trouble. For such cases, we have
two larger sizes which sell for soc
and $1.OO. Remember, you can OBJ
tain Rexall Remedies in this COM
munity only at our store-The RexI

What a fine gospel message to
The tboughtless and unwary who

NOW EGGS ARE CHEAPER
GOOD THINGS TO EAT

In the March Woman's Home
Companion, Fannie Merritt Farmer
says that many requests have come
to her for dishes in which eggs play
an all-important part, and she has
been waiting for spring, when eggs
are low in price, to publish several
recipes of good dishes containing
eggs. Following are two of her rec
ipes.
vienna Cake-Beat the yolks of
four eggs until thick and lemon
colored, and add gradually. while
beating constantly, one cupful of
fine granulated sugar. Then add
three tablespoonfuls of cold water.
Put one and one-half tablespoon
fuls of corn-starch in a cup, and fill
the cup with pastry-hour (sifted
once). Mix with one and one-fourth
teaspoonfuls OF baking-powder and
one-fourth teaspoonful of salt.
Combine mixtures, and add one tea
spoonful of lemon-extract and the
whites of six eggs, beaten until
stiff. Turn into q buttered and
Toured angel-cake pan, and bake in
a moderate oven from thirty-five to
forty minutes. Remove from pan,
and cut cross-wise so as to make
four layers of equal thickness. Put
between the top and bottom layers
chocolate mocha filling. In the GEN.
ter and over top and sides Of cake
put vanilla mocha filling, and
sprinkle entire surface with nut
Brittle.
Mocha Filling-Scald two cup
fuls of milk in double boiler. Mix
one-third cupful, each, of sugar and
-four, and one-fourth teaspoonful of
salt. Add milk gradually to mix
ture, and cook in double boiler fif-
teen minutes, stirring constantly
until mixture thickens, and after

one long grave in the Hawesville
cemetery, the Inflated boat having
been towed to this side just follow
