LUN|NG DISTRICT IS
MAKING BIG OUTPUT
WALTER NORRIS OF GOLDFIELD
NOW SHIPPING FROM
TWO PROPERTIES

The Santa Fe district has settled
down to mining in earnest and
shipments of copper ore from this
point are steadily increasing in
volume. New York canyon continues
to lead the procession but prepara-
tions are being made by several
properties in the north end to send
out ore. The Wedge Copper is
getting its machinery installed and
will soon he in condition to ship
a large tonnage.
The Calavada is said to be get
ting ready for the extraction OF
ore and lessees on the Copper
Queen, Finney and Shipper proper
ties will do likewise. The Luning
Idaho has completed it's wagon
road and will soon join the ship
pers.
In the New York canyon section
the Mayflower, Wall Street and
Turk are the heaviest shippers in
point of tonnage. Both the Wall
Street and Turk mines are in oper-
alton under supervision of Walter
Norris shipping % to 80 tons a
day. Evans and Shannon have q
lease on part of the Turk and are
getting out ore. The Mayflower
company is sending out a car a
week and the Manson lease on the
same mine is breaking a much
larger tonnage.
E. C. Watson and Con Bach
mar recently received a check for
$500 for a lot of ore from the
Neversweat mine. Watson bought
ore of the lessees which had opened
a rich shoot of ore on the Never
sweat and is sinking on the ore
with most gratifying results. The
ore is largely sulphide and is go
ing off on an incline, following the
fractured planes of the lime in
which it makes. Lessees on the
Electrolytic ground. which is own
ed by Watson and al Bachman,
superintendent of the Nevada
Champion mine. shipped two car
loads of ore, one of which carried

cation and Silver Guardian, are
maintaining steady production.

A large force of men is employ
ed in the canyon and the Two
boarding houses are taxed to ca
pacity to accommodate them. The
demand for skilled miners has
caused wages to advance to S. per
day, with plenty of work for good
men.-Gazette.

Forest Fires &

For the past two or three days
forest fires have been raging in
the Sierras, and while 1t was nee
essary to enlist the service of 500
men to fight the flames in the vi
cinity of Redding, no serious prop
erty losses have resulted from the
fires. During the course of the
fires, smoke has been drifting over
northern Nevada and as is usual in
the case of forest fires, they ap-
peared to be but a short distance
away. Crews on eastbound freight
trains state that the forest ran
gers are rapidly getting the
flames under control.

.Milady's Cosmetics
Called Poisonous .

nitrate, paraphenylene dlamine and
resorcin.
1.-THE beauty washes and face cnam-
els contain an even more impressive
array Of dangerously potent drugs,
including flake white. or lead carbon
ate; diachylon, or lead plaster; cor
rosive sublimate, or mercuric chlor-
ide; calomel, or mercurous chloride;
white preciDitate, or ammoniated mer-
curry; pearl white, or bismuth sub
nitrate; zinc white, or zinc oxide;
Chinese white, or commercial zinc
oxide; zinc soap, or zinc stearate.
1.-THE first of the list the ordinary
white lead Of commerce, is also
known as body white, silver white,
Dutch white. French white. London
white, Roman white and China white.
1t is generally recognized as the most
common cause of Industrial lead pois-
oning. The list Of Industrial polsons
is long one.
MANY OF the substances are wide
ly sold as cosmetics with the claim
that the preparations containing them
are absolutely harmless.
Women Run Grayest Danger.
Females are more susceptible to
plumblsm than males. This is thought
to be due to the harmful effects OF
lead upon the blood and the blood
making organs of the body and the
greater dependence Of females on n
normal blood supply. For this same
reason, no doubt, young women are
more susceptible to plumbism than
are those more advanced in years.
From study of the available da-
ia 1t may be concluded that:
"The poisonous nature OF wood al
cohol, in all of its several forms, is
so well established that its presence
IN cosmetics or other preparations
for external use on the human body
should be prohibited by law.
Salts Of the heavy metals. partic-
ularly salts Of lead, zinc, mercury and
bismuth, may be absorbed from cos
metic preparations and produce their
characteristic constitutional effects.
Women are more susceptible to
these several intoxications than men,
and the resulting symptom is more
likely to be overlooked or mistaken
for a natural physiological disturb
ance.
Cosmetics as ordinarily used tend
to clog the pores or irritate the skin
and thus likely to Interfere with the
normal, healthy action Of that organ.
ITO prevent serious intoxications
and to preclude obvious deception and
fraud cosmetics should be classed as
drugs and proprietary preparations
sold as cosmetics should be required
to state on the label the name of any
poisonous ingredients that may be
therein"

WAS OF Nervous Disposition.

"a year or so ago saw administered
to player of this kind a lesson he
will never forget. This fish was one
Of the nervous kind. He was accus-
toned to playing in 80 limit, and
when called upon to bet that amount
his hand would tremble like that OF
man who is recovering from over
indulgence in the red stuff. Why,
none of the other players could de-
termine. Whenever he entered pot
it was cinch he was loaded. He
never opened on less than two pair,
the few bluffs he made were directed
against the losers. Naturally he was
about as popular as case of measles.
Several of the regulars were play
ing for him, but in limit game 1t
was almost impossible to land him,
so for his benefit 1t was decided to
stage table stake contest. The next
Saturday night he was on deck early
as usual. His play was always to be
on hand half hour before the game
started in order to be sure of seat,
so there was no chance of freezing
him out. The game was absolutely on
the level, but there was general I'M
derstanding that II legitimate OPP
portunity presented itself we were to
go after him.
Did Not Want $50 Worth.
1.-THE usual buy-out was $50, but
the banker gave to each man that
night $50 stack.
Twenty will be enough for me,
said Mr.. Tightwad, reaching for his
roll
"It's $50 or nothing This is going
to be table stakes replied the bank
Mt was with some hesitancy that the
man for whom the party was organ
lied came across with the other $40,
but he finally produced. Then he sat
down and tried to keep from tremb-
ling.
Unused as he was to a table stake
game. it was evident before many min
utes Of play that to separate him from
from his chips would require a cold
chisel and a stick Of dynamite. I've
seen some tight players in my time,
but this boy was the limit Every time
he was called he was there with threes
or better. In less than an hour he
had doubled his stack and was be-
ginning to tell funny stories. We all
know how enjoyable joke is to los
err, but this bird was having the time
Of his life.
Loses His Stack Quickly.
"The chap to my right was the
worst sufferer His first stack lasted
about half an hour most Of 1t going
to little sunshine.

banker. This chicken feed amt
enough to last for more than a round.

the nervous gent, who by this time
had about $3.50 and was looking at
his watch every five minutes, opened
under the guns for 50. Knowing he
would not open in that position un-

average, the others. with the ex-

"Harmless" Beautifiers Con-
tain Dangerous Drugs Says
Federal Analyst.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-"Of the
many and varied abuses OF drug pro
ducts there is none in which fraud
deception and a wanton disregard fol
human health, and even life are sc
clearly evidenced as in connection with
the manufacture. sale and use Of So
called Cosmetics" says DR.. M. J.
Wilbert, Of the public health service
in report.
while no one can deny that emol-
lient, irritant and even caustic drugs
applied as cosmetics have a legiti-
mate and important field of useful
ness, their abuse, because OF the mis-
leading claims made in connection
with many Of the so-called cosmetics
Of proprietary nature, involves a
menace that should be recognized and
guarded against
"Including the value OF the pro-
duct made by laboratories primarily
engaged in compromising the regular
Pharmaceutical preparations to the
consumer would be In excess Of $780,

Among the preparations usually
'classed as cosmetic for use on the
head and face we have hair washes,
hair tonics. hair dyes. shampoo pow
ders, complexion powders, toilet pow
ders, moth and freckle lotions, face
anamels, toilet waters, toilet vine
CARS, grease paints, face creams, liz
uid enamels. beauty washes and the
many preparations that are offered
as a skin bleach.
New Laws Are Needed.
1.-THE misuse Of drugs in the form
Of identifying agents is principally
due to the fact that the federal and
many Of the state food and drug laws
do not include preparations made and
sold as cosmetics unless curative
claims are made.
I'm only five states and the terri
tory Of Hawaii is the definition OF a
drug sufficiently broad to include
preparations sold as cosmetic, but
even in these states no provision is
made to warn the purchaser Of the
presence OF harmful or deleterious
substances.
1.-THE dangerous character Of wood
alcohol is so well established that it
would appear almost incredible that
any one would dare to offer prep
aration containing it for use on the
human body. Many state laws, how
ever. specifically permit its use In
preparations designed for external ap-
plication, and even in states In which
such use is illegal it is difficult to Sc
cure the conviction of persons selling
preparations containing it.

gent covered the raise.

1.-THE opener bet $50. AS have re-
marked, caution was his middle name
and he was taking no chances on go

forced.

Balancing at the two cards that had
come to him in the draw, his oppon-
ent suddenly sat bolt upright In his
chair.

"Call YOU said my nervous friend,
and pushed in his remaining chips.
I've got four mines.

the man who had started the trouble.
1T would have been good had you

But he added with twinkle in

can't say he didn't have a good time.
