They REFUSE TO EAT

At periods IN most childrens' lives
theyfail to relish their meals and refuse
to cat even the delicacies prepared to
tempt their appetites. They lack am

which causes anxiety and worry.
To compel them TO cat is a grave
mistake, because nutrition is impaired.
Healthful exercise in fresh air and sun
shine is important, but equally import

to develop into a mine as rich as anything yet discovered in this sec ton. is now being developed on a considerable scale. and plans have been perfected 10 carry on the work throughout the fall and winter. This property Is the Black Diamond group of claims. located on the south side of the bay and lying be tween the bay and the ThreeIn-On group. on which an unusually rich vein has been developed.
 The Black Diamond claims cover two distinct veins, one of which is the same that runs through the ThreeIn-One, and the other a paral- Tel vein several hundred feet way. Beth of these veins have been traC- ed the full length of the claims. The property has been located for several years during which time a considerable amount of develop mcnt work has been done. This work has demonstrated that the ore in the lead crossing the Three In-One carries the same values on the Black Diamond as in the former property. On the parallel vein. where the work is at present being done, it has been demonstrated that his vein carries ore equally as rich as the other.
 The development work now in progress is being done under the direction of Frank Kempier. an eX- perienced mining man He is very enthusiastic over the showing made on these claims. and declares that the Black Diamond will develop into one of the richest properties in this section. He will carry on the development work throughout the winter, and by spring he says he will have the property in such shape that mill will be warranted.
 During the past week about six tons of supplies for the work have been taken up to the claims. and the work of development will be pushed with vgor.
 Specimens of ore brought to town recently from this property are highly minerali2ed and show much free gold The claims are the prop .rty of local people. who have no =tock to sell, but are backing their f. tn in the claims by putting their money into it's development.
