in Ray. For years past these deposits
have been well known to the entire
geological world. 1t was not a great
while ago that Maxwell C. Milton
had been prepared at the instigation
of Ira B. Joradomen, chief engineer of
the Calumet and Arizona Mining COM
pany which among other matters
stated that $500 tons of lead and silver
had been blocked out and that he had
every reason to believe that the doing
of development work along the lines
that were then in progress would
greatly increase this tonnage 1t is
known that the last report prepared
was submitted to John H. Erskine of
New York city, who is well known in
the financial world
With this new activity in the lead
and silver mountain and the announce
ment of the incorporation of the Lit
tie Bobbie Mining company to work an
adjacent property together with the
work now going forward on the Ray
Broken Hill, Ray promises to become
famous in the mining world, not only
by reason of the being the home of
the Ray Consolidated, one Of the big
porphyrys of the world, but also as
camp high up in the list as a lead
and silver producer We hope to next
week give the details and if possible
an official statement of the future
plans of the new organization

LOSE APPEAL

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 9.-The appea.
weather, former members of hte 10th
U. S. Cavalry stationed at Douglas
who were tried and convicted of muir
der in the first degree for killing Ar
mando Hernandez, Mexican chauf-
feur between Douglas and Naco, on
February 6 last, was denied by the
Supreme Court here last Saturday in
a lengthy and exhaustive opinion in
which much of the evidence in the case
was quoted and discussed. The ponion
was handed down by the court exactly
one year from the date of the crime.
The court in discussing the evidence
draws attention to the fact that each
of the defendants testified at the trial
and that the evidence of each was
practically corroboratory in every par
ticular except the fact of the firing of
the shot, and who did it. Merriweather
and Dingle according to their own tes-
timony planned to desert the service
of the U. S. and hired Hernandez to
drive them from Douglas to Naco. On
the way the driver was shot to death
and the next day the body was found
lying beside the deserted automobile.
Meantime the men had attempted to
dispose of their clothes which had be-
come blooded, and had returned to their
quarters at camp. The shooting was
done with an army rifle, and the un-
thinking driver was shot from behind,
the bullet going clear through his body

MANY WITH A TUBERCULAR
TROUBLE NOT AWARE OF IT.

Lansing, February 10th. About
sixty per cent of the sixteen thousa *
persons SO far examined in the Sta r
Board of Health Tuberculosis survey
have been found to be entirely free
from the disease. From this the cor
clusion was drawn in some sections
that the state was thus examining
MANY persons who do not need the
service, and that the survey should
concentrate on the active cases eS--
clusively.
But the State Board of Hea'I'zs
maintains that the examination Of
the sixty per cent OF persons Tree
from the disease represent perhaps
the best part of the anti-tuberculoais~
movement. tuberculosis, it is pointe3
out, can best be cured when in til
pre-tuberculosis stage. Practical ,
all of the sixty per cent are perso.s+
physically run down who would in tn
natural course of events have fallena
victims to the disease. Through the
instrumentality of the State survey
they are being faced about and helpc's
back to health. And though they d.
not figure in the statistics of positive
cases., they do figure very decided p.

Sinuie File.

When the Indians travelled together
they seldom walked or rode two OF
more abreast. but followed one anoth-
er In single file. 1t has been thought
by some that this practice resulted
from the lack Of roads. which com
PEELED them to make their way through
woods and around rocks by narrow
paths. If this were the real reason
for the practice. then we should expect
to find that the tribes who lived in
open countries travelled in company, as
do whites. The true reason for jour
neying as the Indians did in single file
seems to be feeling Of caste. This
feeling was at the bottom of other
customs Of the Indians. 1t made their
women slaves and rendered the men
silent and unsocial. This popularity
is Asiatic. How it has warped and
disfgured Hindu life is well known.

SALT IN THE FOOD.
Why Its Flavor at Times 10 Too Weak
or Too Strong.

Why Its Flavor at Times 10 Too Weak
or Too Strong.
The average housewife wonders why
she often over or under salts her
dishes when she knows" that she
sailed them just right, as she always
did and as the recipes called for.
The reason is just this: The season
ing value Of different brands of salt
varies widely. This is easily proved.
Take five slices of ripe tomatoes: apply
equal parts OF five makes Of salt upon
the separate pieces. Eat as soon as
sailed. The difference in flavor, per
meation, rapidity and equality Of dis
solution and seasoning value are read
lily detected.
A table salt should be fine, the crys-
tails of equal size, quickly soluble and
free from ingredients which absorb
moisture from the air. Large and
small crystals will not dissolve uni
formly; consequently the full sailing
effect Is not obtained until the large
crystals are dissolved. The quickly
soluble salt diffuses itself through the
food at once and gives an equality of
SAVIOR. Sticky salt Is an intrusive nui-
sance.
Failures In sailing are largely due to
other. Get the best grade, grow ac-
custOmed to its use and stick To it

of perpetual term in any Office.
Judge Des Voignes has had his two

his name was r. p. (Dolph) Smith,

Paw Paw when boy. He was bon
in Paw Paw in 1848, and lived here in
this vicinity until 1866 when he went
