Mexicans Dry Many Foods.

Although experts OF the United
States Department Of Agriculture
have been endeavoring to teach Amer
leans dehydration OF foods as novel
process, it is IN old trick with the
McXicans.
In Juarez, Mexico. and in Mexican
quarters at El Paso, Texas. Mexicans
are dchydrntlng all sorts of fruits and
vegetables. They take advantage of
the climates hot sun and dry atmos-
phere to dry their food on the sides
of their houses, on the roof ard In
the yard.
On one street In I'll Pnso there Is
Il stretch of Mexican vegetable and
fruit stores The dealers have con-
verted the edge of the sidewalk into
q dehydration plant. Rows Of sliced
tomatoes and cucumbers are spread
on boards to dry.
On being told that dried cucumber
slices are not known to the average
American, one Of the storekeepers de-
clarcd they were "fine fried with
eggs" He said he preferred dried
vegetables TO those In cans and that
most Mexicans did.

GOLD FEVER RETURNS

Excitement Shifts From Oil as
Stores of Yellow Metal Are
Uncovered i'm Manitoba.

BY Associated Press TO Every Evening
The Pas. Man., July Gold fever
has temporarily displaced excitement
here incident 10 tho rush 20 the oil
fields, and prospectors are leaving
daily for the scene of the reported rich
mineral strike.
Reports OF ore bodies rich in gold
content having been uncovered come
from several sections, but the richest
is reported at Elbow Lake in the
Athapapusizow Lake mineral area and
east of the famous Gordon Dyke. dis
covered last summer. Elbow Lake is
about 200 miles northeast of The Pas.
Mining men who have visited the
spot have returned here with an ac-
count of a vein s,-ty feet wide where
In free gold is freely seen. Untn il
is stripped, they declare. however. II is
possible only TO approximate the value
and tonnage.
Other prospectors who visited the
region following the report OF the
strike declare that mineral body
forty feet wide and traced for $50
feet in length has been uncovered,
throughout which free gold is heavily
deposited. Another prospector had
dwo pounds OF ore. of which the gold
content was estimated at not less than
two per cent. These samples are con-
sidered the richest ever brought here
Another strike, the exact location OF
which is vague, also has thrown Peace
River into the tIiroes of gold fever. The
cause of the excitement was the recent
arrival of party who investigated a
claim which furnished an old Indian
trappcr. about 90 miles northeast of
here, with n number of small nuggets.
