IF HAIR Is TURNING
 GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Here's Grandmother's Recipe tn' Darken and Beautify
 Faded Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brewing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and Sulphur enhances it's appearance a hundredfold.
 Don't bother to prepare the mixture; you can get this famous old recipe im- proved by the addition of other ingredi- ents for 50 cents large bottle, all ready for use. It is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color and lustre of your hair.
 Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and Sulphur Compound now because. it dark ems so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. Ysu simply dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; hy morning the gray hair has disappeared and after another application it becomes beauti- fully dark and appears glossy and lus- trous. This ready-to-use preparation is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire dark hair and a youthful appear ance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.

TELL ALL ABOUT YOUR MINE
 IF YOU EXPECT TO SELL IT

Owners of mining prospects very often are to blame for the failure of mining men and corporations to take interest in offers of such property for sale, in the opinion of Charles F. Will
 lis, director of the Arizona State Bu- reau of Mines, at Tucson, expressed in a recent article in the Mining Am erican magazine. MT. Willis article on the Business of Selling Mining Property" is as follows:
 Probably the greatest complaint that prospective purchasers of mining properties make is on the question of reports and valuations, and this will be taken up in detail.
 It is really amusing to read the common type of report issued by the prospector or even by men who claim to be engineers. Frequently long de- scriptions of scenery, climate and general conditions constitute the nla- jor portion of a report, while it is not uncommon to have a long disser- tation on original geology. A strong point is often made of the acreage owned. The description of the mine and its workings and the many fea- lures that have bearing on whether or not it would be a paying venture are seldom, if ever, presented and statements as to width of ore, assaG vs and tons developed are given in round numbers, usually not the result of measurement or calculation. Costs are generally neglected, and the value of the ore in sight is given at it's gross value. In general, the economic and business features of the enter prise are entirely neglected and, since the investors engineer can usually get from the report no idea of this most important feature, he cannot ad- wise his client to spend several thous- ands of dollars in the examination of the prospect. If this one point were borne in mind in the making of the re- port submitted to possible purchasers, much of the difficulty would be over come,
 Do not forget that the examination of a prospect is unproductive insofar as the purchaser is concerned. The presentation of the case must be such as to induce him to pay for the exam ination.
 Of course, in the case of prospect, all such data are not available, but even then, some data of economic value can be given. Most prospectors lose sight of the fact that, in many cases, much information as to the distribution and value of the deposit may be obtained by exposing a vein, by crosscuts at frequent intervals and by taking samples and measuring widths. A man who can stake claim certainly should be able to make a rough map showing the vein and the points where samples were taken and their widths.
 The seller should remember that the prospective purchaser does not know him and is passing his judgment upon a report. The conservative, brief report will bring more re- suits particularly if accompanied by maps that are readily interpreted by the prospective purchasers engineer.

state in the United States and also can be found in Canada, Porto Rico, Cuba, Hawaii Island, Philippines and in various other countries. The mem bers are furnished free with hats, handle bar pennants, membership but tons, streamers, and signal flags. In the Fisk Club manual which is sent to the boys every effort is made to show them how to obtain the greatest amount of fun from their bicycles and other outdoor sports.
 The Fisk club chief who is at the head of the national organization is located at Chicopee Falls, Mass, and the members report to him regularly of their club runs and other activi- ties.
 It is expected that several thousand more boys will become members of this organization before the riding season is over.

NEW MOHAWK
 IN HIGH GRADE
 AT SOFT. LEVEL

Number shaft on New Mohawk is down 50 feet below the collar. This is an incline affair and is following the footwall of the vein, a sort of slip being utilized for the roof of the incline. Within the last few feet a small oreshoot has been following this slip, this ore now being eight inches wide. An assay made Monday by Manager Robertson of a sample taken from two inches of apparent highgrade returned proof of silver and lead contents amounting to S571.- 84 per ton, S87 of this being lead. Another sample was assayed, from which all highgrade from the 2-inch streak was carefully eliminated, and this showed values amounting to S53.- 36, nearly all silver.

The leasers on the Mary Bell have been throwing aside as lacking ship ping value a portion of the vein that apparently carried nothing but an. abundance of white iron. Recent as says show this ore to carry gold and silver to the amount of S40O0 per ton, there being one and one-half ounces gold. Since this determination the ore is being carefully saved for shipment.
Mohave County miner., 1917-09-08

The Diana's west drift on the 200 level has been advanced 25 feet, with the oreshoot maintaining an average width of six feet and holding an av- craze of $20 per ton in gold and sil- yer. This drift will be carried 75 feet farther, when a crosscut will be start ed from the shaft to cut what is known as the north, or principal, vein on the property. Big results should be expected when this vein is broken into, if the phenominal results attend ing the opening up of the drift on the south vein may be utilized as a criter- ion.
Mohave County miner., 1917-09-08

It should also be remembered that
 the purchaser and his engineer are
 ordinarily busy men and, even though
 they have the time, they generally have not the inclination to wade through a mass of indefinite data to select the most important facts.
 The engineer wants to know pri- marily whether or not there is a reas- .sonable chance of making a mine, the operation of which will return the money invested and will pay a profit.
 Naturally, two men may differ as to what constitutes a reasonable chance, but the data they require will always be the same and will consist of such information as the extent of the vein it's width and the width of the ore, the value it carries and the distribution. All of this may be embodied in an assay map. An engineer would want to get an idea of the composition of the ore and the cost of production (if such figures are obtainable), the cost of drifting and sinking, wages paid, etc.; while data as to the climate, topography and means of access are of interest only as they affect the cost of operation. All these and other data are, of course, what go to make up properly constituted engineers re- port. If the purchasers engineer, after considering all the data pre- sented, examines the mine, they are what he will himself gather to verify the vendors statement; but if all these points are presented by the sell CT and in such way that the calcu- lations that make up the totals may be checked, he will find that his prop osition gets much more attention than if he presented a rambling descrip- tion containing hardly a figure. The seller may have to employ an en- gineer to get up such a report and assay map but there is no doubt that this is the cheapest way and will well repay him. Many meritorious propo- sitions fail to attract attention be- cause of the indefinite and unbusiness like way in which the facts regarding the property are presented.
 Some of the larger syndicates have issued suggestions for a preliminary description of the mining property,one of which is shown below:

Wheeler, Ranous and Homfeld, op- erating the lease and bond on the Cor nish property, which sidelines the Puzzle claim of the New Mohawk, have sunk shaft to depth of 80 feet and are opening up some good look ing ore. Stray assays indicate val ues in the neighborhood of $700 gold and several ounces silver. The ore is identical with the rich ore now be- ing opened up on the New Mohawk, with the exception that ruby silver is absent. They are hopeful that with further depth they will find an in- crease in the values in the ore.

Information reached Chloride this week that Frank F. Peard, one of the principal stockholders of the Union Metals Company, and several promin- ent Eastern bankers are coming West about the middle of this month to in- vestigate the Fredonia and Golconda Annex properties of the Union Metals company. While here they will make a thorough survey of the Cerbat range generally, the better to inform their friends on mining conditions here on their return. It was mainly through Mir. Peard's efforts that the Union Metals Company was successful in ac- quirfng ownership of the Fredonia, which lies alongside the highly pro- ductive Golconda, from the lower levels of which the Fredonia vein is to be tapped and developed.
 W. s. Brown, until recently mill foreman of Eagle Shawmut Mines, at Shawmut, Cal, is in Chloride, where he expects to establish himself. He was associated with the milling end of this company's property for near ly 20 years. Negotiations that have been on for several days between him and the Rico Consolidated Mines Com pany will probably result in his be- coming attached to this company.
 A. c. Beeman, an experienced mill man, lately of Treadwell, Alaska, was in conference here Saturday with D. V. Snowgoose, on Rico Consolidated milling affairs.

Barney Perkins, while digging for water on the Makeup Jim mining claim, a short distance from the Elm erald Isle, found good vein of ore, containing values in silver and lead. The hole that exposed the vein is down only 12 feet, so little can be said ex- cepting that it looks very encourag- ing.

 F. E. Steffy, of the Steffy Custom mill, who has been i'll at his home in Salt Lake, is reported greatly improv- ed and expects to be back in Chloride in a few days to take charge of the operation of the new plant.
 While the new plant is working un- der difficulties on account of the non arrival of the jigs, yet some of the ore on which it is operating is being turn ed from a very low grade ore into a high grade concentrate It all looks very encouraging.
