HAPPY OLD AGE
Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating.

As old age advances we require less
food to replace waste. and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs,
while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape
Nuts made of whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action OF diastase
in the barley which changes the starch
into most digestible sugar.
The phosphates also. placed up un-
der the outer-coat Of the wheat, are
included in Grape-Nuts, but are lack
ing in white flour because the outer
coat of the wheat darkens the flour
and is left out by the miller. These
natural phosphates are necessary to

One of the most important and
richest discoveries at great depth in
the Cripple Creek gold mining dis
trict has been made on the property
OF the Gold Dollar Consolidated Min
ing Company On the eastern slope OF
Beacon hill.
The tenth annual report of the Jer-
ry Johnson Gold Mining Company. for
the fiscal year terminating August
81, has been issued at Cripple Creek
and shows production for the year OF
1880 tons of ore with gross bullion
value of $S6. 1866.
Reports of the American Smelling
Company and the American Smelters
Security Company for the last six
months of the fiscal year show gross
income for that period OF $6,67l.6ll.
In 1912, for the same period. the gross
income was $7,5s7,s42.

| In driving the west drift on vein cut
f,44O feet from the portal OF the tun-
mel, streak of solid ore six inches

ues of 1.5 ounces gold. S3 ounces sill

| That the Cripple Creek mining dis

| will rival the marvellous development
OF its early period is the prediction
| OF prominent mining men, who Tor
months have been cognizant OF new
development that has opened rich

seemed to be pinching out.
Production of gold in the United
States during 1912 amounted to $685.
451 500, a decrease of $3,438.500 as
compared with the previous year. and
the lowest American production since

production, putting out $2S.OOS.O0O: :

A new ore zone. rich in gold val
ues, at an altitude above sea level OF
