I'VE have always encouraged the
operation of the smelter, believing
that 1t was for the good of the home
mines. We gave rate from all
points to the smelter OF about one
cent mile per ton, giving the com
pany also rate of $3.50 a ton on
coke from Sunnyside. Utah, and
transported their bullion from Wa
buska to New York for about SIS a
ton. In every way possible, as good
business principles would permit, we
have encouraged and will encourage
the smelter at Wabuska, and every
other industry that will make a

Nevada. The transportation com

aroused he asked the man how he
could afford to sell the drug so cheap

would be done to interfere with his
business he described his method.
Every spring he filled his pockets with
the seed and went out into the cOun-
try. Wherever he saw q good wide
hedgerow he sowed the seed broad
cast. Then he went his way and wor-
ried no more over his crop until the
fall, when he revisited the scene of his

hedge, offering to cut them down. for a
shilling hedge, an offer which the
farmer gladly accepted. Thus was the
ground furnished free and he was paid
to cut the harvest. ~

TRY THIS CREOLE RECIPE
Chicken Saute That Is Declared to Be
=. Delicious by Those Who Have
Partaken of 1t.

Take nice, tender chicken, wash
and clean thoroughly and cut into
small pieces at the joints. Separate
the breast from the back and split it
first down the center through the bone

being careful not to let them
burn in the least. Add one tablespoon
full of flour and let this brown. Then
add three large fresh tomatoes Cor one

mixture to simply simmer. Add one
tablespoonful of chopped parsley, one
teaspoonful thyme, one bay leaf and
one Glove of garlic finely minced. Stir,

three, taking the seeds out and slicing
very fine and stir well. Let all smother
gently for 20 minutes at least, keeping
well covered and stirring occasionally.
Then add one cupful consomme if you
