PloCHE BRISTOL GETS
SETTLEMENT ON CAR

silpped from the property since it
was Incorporated and taken over by
SAT- Lake men. The car contained
ABOUT thirty-six tons, for which the
net settlement at the smelter after
all costs except mining, was approx
mately $315 or $12S7 ton net. The
ear, 1t is declared, contained consjd- :
erable low grade rock, which was
necessary in cleaning up to get out
the shipment
The second car is on the road and
will be settled for in the next few
days. In the meantime it is declared
That there are several cars. of ore
broken down in the mine which the
management will ship as soon as pos
sible. 1t is the intention to shortly
SEND out car week as the devel-

TINS can be done regularly.
The recent washout at Phoebe has

Forests are dependent, and must also
show the general location of the pro-
posed road and its estimated cost.
AS already stated, in general states
and counties must be prepared to
furnish cooperation equal to at least
80 per cent of the estimated cost of
surveys and construction. This CO.
operation may be in the form of
money, labor and materials, or the
construction of roads. Where other
factors are equal, the approval of a
project may be determined upon the
relative amount of cooperation offer
ed. Many applications have, it is
stated, already been received for ex.
penditures upon specific projects.

MINING ENGINEERS
TO MEET IN ARIZONA

Prominent mining and metallur-
gical circles have for almost half a
century participated in the work of
the American Institute of Mining En-
gineers, which on the 18th of Sep
tember will open a weeks session in
the various mining fields of Arizona.
A study of the work of some of the
present officers of the Institute, most
OF whom will attend the Ari2on9
meeting, reveals somewhat the
strength of the Institute.
l.. d. Ricketts,, consulting engin-
eer, has served as president of the
institute since last February. He
succeeded William l.. Saunders,
chairman of tn Board of Ingersoll &
Rand Co. and vice-chairman of the
Naval Consulting Board. Mr.. Saun-
ders has invented apparatus for drill
ing rock under water, pumping by
compressed air, Ingersoll track and
bar channelers and gadders for quar-
rying stone. Benjamin r. Thayer,
president of Anaconda Copper Mining
Co., is former president of the In
stitute. Mr.. Thayer is thoroughly
familiar with mining operations in
many parts of the world, and in adj
dltion to displaying great technical
skill has infused into his company a
loyalty and efficiency that are excep-
tional. He will accompany the New
York special train in his private car

ident of IT, S. Smelling, Refining and
Min ng Co., and has charge Of the

presidents of the Institute are H. C.
Hoover, now known throughout the
world as chairman of the Commits
sion for Relief in Belgium, and Karl
Eilers, metallurgist and specialist in
smelling lead and copper
Among the directors of the Insti-

lation of additional capacity in the
flotation department of the mill has
proved to be very beneficial. higher
extraction being obtained at the pres
ent time than at any other time since
the mill begun to operate. The
grade of material being fed to the
mill is substantially higher than the
calculated heads assay, and the ton
mage has been 10 to 20 per cent
greater than specified when the mill
was designed. Almost no running
time has been lost.
In the mine the DEVELOPMENT on
the 1400 level south of the dixie is
very interesting. A water course

countered. The mine crew has been
substantially increased within the
past ten days.
The Pioche Pacific railway has
been extremely busy keeping the
mill supplied with ore, and taking
the concentrates away from it. There
has also been large coal business.
The Jack Rabbit division has been
busy almost every day bringing in
the large tonnage from the Bristol
mine

Mouse as Enuineer.

A field mouse which had fallen into
Il hole dug to receive u telegraph pole
displayed great ingenuity and perse-
verance in effecting its escape. The
first hour or so he ran round the bot
tom of the hole trying to find some
means of escape, but could not climb
out. Then he settled down to busi-
ness. He began steadily and system
atically to dig a spiral groove, round
and round the inner surface of the
hole, with a uniformly ascending
grade. He worked night and day, and
as he got farther from the bottom he
dug little pockets where he could
either lie or sit and rest. The tele-
graph workers, who had noticed his
plight and were curious to know how
he would escape, supplied the little
engineer with food. AT the end of two
weeks the mouse struck a rock. This
puzzled him. For nearly a day he
tried to get under, around, or yer
the obstruction, but without success.
With %unflinching patience he reversed
the spiral, and went IN tunneling his
way in the opposite direction. At the
end of four weeks he reached the top,
and probably sped away to enjoy his
w~ell-earned freedom. His escape was
not observed.

RECOGNIZE VALUE or FIGS
Mothers Of Young Children Make Them
Part Of the Daily Menu-Some
Methods Of Preparation.

Figs are becoming a national deli
cncy. Little need be said Of their
medicinal value, save that as a laxa-
tive they are particularly good for
children and are advisable to use rs
part of the daily diet. Preserved
skinless figs are delicious and may be
bought in Jars or cans. Many like
them for breakfast with hot buttered
rolls or with the natural strip drained
off and cream substituted. Have you
ever tried fig pudding?
One-half pound figs, two plnts milk,
three heaping tablespoonfuls corn
starch, two heaping tablespoonful
sugar, three eggs, one-half teaspoon
full lemon extract.
Wash the figs, cut them in small
pieces, then put them into a buttered
casserole dish. Put the cornstarch
into a saucepan and moisten ii with
half a cupful of the milk. Bring the
rest of the milk to the boiling point,
pour 1t over the cornstarch and stir
till 1t boils ten minutes. Add the
sugar, lemon extract and the eggs, well
beaten.
Pour over the figs and bake in n
moderate oven for half an hour. Serve
with cream or milk.

Ruby Wardell was madly Jealous of

the fact. Certainly he was handsome,
chatty, accommodating. but all of his
impulses were of the friendly and hui
nan order and he idOlized his wife
solely as the apple of his eye.
He had noticed the first gloss of
sweetness and perfect happiness some
what dissipated after the first six
months of married life, but he at
tributed the growing pettishneSs of
Ruby to loneliness, ennui, the absence
of close girlhoOd friends. Arnold was
away a good deal of his time, being u

Ruby IN this account. As to Ruby,
she continued to hear what terrible

her, like the sailor who has a sweet

If Arnold had understood his wife
and her concealed suspicious better,
he would never have telegraphed her
one summer afternoon:
Man away for two days. Expect
