shipped The marble is to 60 to
San Francisco. where it will be cut
and polished, eventually to decorate
some Of the new buildings that will
grace the coast city. The heavy
storms about the quarry prevented

discovered and developed in the
state 1t is clasSed as even finer
than that coming from Africa, and

IN the building line.
The quarry was located by the late
VIM. Lindsey, who was an expert in
his line of business. He interested
Los Angeles people in the enter
prise and was about to place the
product on the market when he died.
The owners have decided to utilize
thi, valuable product and the placing
OF the present order in the hands Of
Mr.. Fransham will undoubtedly lead
to another enterprise in Mineral
county.
Aside from the black and gold
marble other cOlOred marbles are
found in and about the section. Some
Of the notified marbles are of ex-
trcme beauty and when polished
command a big price on the market
The placing Of the first carload on
the coast market should open up an
avenue of trade that will mean much

An Indian Marathon.

In the early days of Ehrenberg,
Ariz.. a man was frightfully
burned by kerosene. There was
no physician and no drug store in
the town, and so a noted Mohave
runner who lived near by was
hastily engaged to run to Fort
Yuma, government post direct
lv across the Colorado river from
the present town of Yuma.
The distance from Fhrenberg to
Fort Yuma, as the crow flies, is
sixty miles. By the shortest trail
that the Indian could take it was
at least seventy-6ve miles, and he
had to swim the river once each
way. The Indian was to get $40
for the trip and $40 additional if
he returned in twenty-four hours.
He prepared quickly for the I'M
dertakins and disappeared down
the trail.
Within twenty-four hours he
was back in Ehrenburg, bringing
with him the packages of medi-
cine Jor which be had been sent.
Each package bore the labels of
the Yuma dispensary. There
ives no living being along the trail
between the two places from
whom he could have obtained any
assistance whatever. That Iu-
dian ran150 miles in less than
twenty -four hours over a barren,
stony desert, intersperaed with
deep, dry gulches and ravines' in
and out of which he was forced to
climb, and in addition he swan
the Colorado river twice.
When he got his $40 he bought
some of his favorie food, crawled
into the sheltee of some mesquite
trees, ate and slept alternately
for two days and then reappeared
in perfect condition. From A.

Canned Foods.

The can in canned took pro-
ducts serves not only as q contai-
but also as an index of the quantity
of food therein. 1t, therefore,
ought to be as full of food as is
practicable in packing processes
without injury to the quality of
the contents. Some food product
may be canned without the adj
ditlon of anv other substance
whatsoever, such as tomatoes,
and the addition of water in such
instances is deemed adulteration.
Other foods may require the ad-
dition of water, brine, sauce,
syrps or sugar thereto, either to
combine with the food or for its
proper preparation or for the pur-
pose Of sterilization. Thus, in
the case of peas, the can should be
packed as full as particable with
the peas aud should contain only
sufficient water to fill the inter
stices and cover the product.
In accordance with rulings Of
this department. and those of
other states and the federal gov
eminent in the following in
stances canned food may be deem
ed to be adulterated;
Vegetables greened with sui
fate of copper, for instance, cop
per colored French peas.
When found to contain brine,
water, sauce, syrup, etc, in ex-
cess of the amounts necessary for
their proper preparation and
sterilization.
