UNITED AMERICAN
 RUM0RED IN QUARTZ

Report has it that the crosscut from the bottom of the $40 shaft of the United American mine has enter ed quartz vein, but nothing regard ing the values found have been given out. There are five veins traversing the property of the United American and all of these will be crossed by the
 lateral work now under way. The fact that good ore body was encoun- tered on the level above would indi- cate that something worth while may be opened on the 500.

DIAMOND CANYON
 GOLD HUNT

An Indian this week brought into Blackberry some gold rock that he said had come from a vein in the Dia- mond Creek country. Several white men immediately formed party and went with the Indian to the find, but we have not learned the result of their visit. Diamond Creek was so named because of the report fifty years ago of the finding of diamonds in that region. Later Pioche, Nevada, men went in there to hunt for gold and reported that the creek bed carried considerable of the yellow metal. Hundreds of men prospected the re- zion without success. The mining editor of this paper also worked there several weeks and found not trace of gold in the gravel beds of the can yon, although some fine gold was to be had in the bars of the Colorado river. After the throwing open of the reservation a few months ago report was brought in that an Indian had found a gold vein near the head of Diamond Canyon, but nothing further came of it other than the report un- til the present time. s.

It is one of those joyful romances that Miss Clark does so well. Packed full of love and startling twists and every thing: She is wearing widows weeds, but cheer up, she only dons the sombre garb only to do a little masquerading for girl friend-all for a good pur- pose of course. But it leads into strange difficulties and out of the mess the gay little deceiver gets something she wasn't looking for. One of the very best Miss Clark has. done. Also a Briggs Comedy. ...

Maud may be all that your fondcs'

Maud may be all that your fondest
fancy Graves. She may be pretty, and
dainty and sweet and appear 80 amiapie
that the proverbial butter would not melt
in her mouth. But all the same, look at
Maud's mother. Is mother sloppy, and
souchy, and thrlftless? Is her house
always in confusion? Does the parlor sofa
need sweeping under? Are the curtains
crying aloud for soap and water
Don't marry Maud unless you want to
live in the same disorder and dirt, Tor
Maud has been brought up to be lazy,
shiftless and untidy, and she will always
think you are an unreasonable crank IL
you desire a well kept house.
Is Mauds mother wasteful and extrav-
agant? Does she live beyond her meansY
BE sure that she has taught her daughter
that clothes are the most important thing
on earth to woman. and that she must
have them, no matter how she gets hem.
In her very cradle Maud was taught TO
worship the great god-Appearances and
when she marrics she offers up her nus
band as the sacritical goat.
And look at Mauds father, Is he care
worn and hump-shouldered? Has he got
that deprecating, hopeless, furtive ex-
preston OF henpecked man,-the man
who is afraid of his wife? II you don't
want to understudy him, beware OF lead
ing Maud TO the altar She has been
taught that a husband is good for nothing
but bill payer She had been so used
20 making door-mat of her father that
she will not even know that a husband
has right to be regarded as a household
ornament.
But il Maud's mother is an intelligent
open-minded woman; if she is good
housekeeper and thrifty manager; II she
is good natured, tolerant and sympathetic,
and if her husband looks happy, con
tented and well fed, go along and marry
the girl without fear.
Such a mother teaches her daughters
to be good wives. and to do their duty.
They will know how to cook, sew and get
the worth out of their husbands money;
and, above all, they will treat their
husband with tenderness, consideration,
and respect, as they have been taught
to treat their father
Don't marry girl, son, under the fatu-
Gus belief that YOU can make her over
TO suit your ideal. Her mother beat you
to that Job by some six or eight or ten
years and you cant undo her work any
more than YOU could make over Jug
that potter had shaped.
The only safe thing IN matrimony is To
pick out the kind of mother-in-law you
like and marry the girl she has reared.

CEREAL FOR BREAK FAS

There no doubssof the fact that we'll
cooked break as cereal is one o the
more ooonom; cal sort of 'oods 1t is !; lso
wholesome. Sometimes when taken with
a large amount Cf sugar its bench, In the
breakfast diet may be disputed. 1t is,
therefore,. very good plan never to let
children beeom accustomed 10 eumg
ais with sugar Any one who axes
cral sugarless will tell you that t is
ent rev a ma ter OF hab and hat once
YOU are used to taking them without
upar the ide of eating cereal with sugar
seems almost repulsive.
Perhaps a Scotchman can eat oatmeal
every morning OF the year, but most OF
us like variety. The housewife should,
therefore. never overdo one cereal. If she
does she will soon find that her family
have grown really weary Of 1T. 1t is better
to keep five or six possible cereals going in
rotation at once and In that way you
never run one into the ground.
If YOU use cold cereals of the dry sort,
it is a good plan to alternate these with
the cooked hot sort. Always see that
cereals are crisp. Certain cooked cereals,
oatmeal for instance, may be heated over,
but In general hot cereals should not be
made in such large amounts that they
have to be served two mornings in sue
cession. If there is little left over cereal
YOU might add it TO the soup or use it in
mullins or even incorporate 1T In a seal
loped vegetable dish.
1t seems odd that every housewife can
not cook cereals well, but such is the case.
There is little excuse for lumpiness. If
you always take pains to have the water
bubbling and then pour the cereals in
slowly and then letting the whole come
to boil over the direct fire before putting
into the double boiler section you need
have no humps. Use tn am UNITS sug-
gested on the packages. Usually this
means one part cereal to two parts water
in coarse cereals such as oatmeal, and
with fine cereal such as farina, four parts
water to one Of the cereal. A level tea
spoon of salt to part of water used is
always a good rule.

PRINCE TANTO's WIFE -PARTL

Once upon time there lived king
who had son named Prince Tanto,
and when he was old enough to marry
his father found to his surprise that his
son would not have princess for a wife,
but wanted to choose one from the poor
classes in his fathers kingdom.

said the Prince "She will spend all
the money you will leave me. want
wife who knows only poverty, that
she may save and make me the rich :
est king in the world"
In vain did his father plead that
he should marry one of his own class,
but Prince Tanto was obstinate and
went to look for his wife among the
poor.
When the news spread abroad that
the kings son was looking for wife
all the peasants made their daughters
