Report Rich
Gold Mine is
Found Mexico
BY Press staff Correspondent

CALEXTCO, March 15--The news
that valuable high grade gold
mine has been located in Lower Cali
fornia, a short distance south of Te-
cate, is arousing a great deal of in
terest and excitement among the
people of Mexicali, and has greatly
enthused number of prominent
Mexican city officials who are in
terested in the find, and samples
submitted and assays made have
shown such high value as to raise
hopes to the highest pitch.
The story or the find may be lik-
|ened somewhat to the fable of 50 cast
ing bread upon the waters, for
some months ago, when Jose Teofilo
Chavez, the dlscoverer, approached
some of has friends and acquaint
ances in Mexicali and tried to inter
est them in his discovery, his claims
were greeted with incredulous smiles.
But Chavez persisted, and more be-
cause they desired to help Chavez
out of the goodness of their hearts
than from any idea of ever gaining,
some of them provided him with a
small sum for Il Cruz stake.
Brings Samples
About three weeks ago Chavez
came to Mexicali with a number of
samples of ore from the mine, taken
from the 20-foot level, and the sur
! prise of his friends may be imagined
when the samples showed specks of
freegold plainly visible to the naked
eye. Grub stakers became enthusi-
astic and determined to secure as
says showing the values, these be-
ing sent to Denver, Colorado; Sacra-

FREEDOM FROM

Discovery BY Scientists Has Replaced
Them.

Pills and salts give temporary re-
lief from constipation only at the ex-
pense Of permanent injury, says an
eminent medical authority.
Science has found q newer, better
way-a means a. simple as Nature
Itself.
In perfect health q natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat.
ural lubricant Is not sufficient. Medi.
cal authorities have found that the
gentle lubricating action Of Nujof most
closely resembles that Of Natures own
lubricant. As Nujol Is not a laxative
II cannot grippe. 1t Is in no sense q
medicine. And like pure water 1t Is
harmless and pleasant.

Combats the film

One purpose is to combat film
on teeth-that viscous film you
feel. It clings to teeth, enters
crevices and stays. It absorbs
stains, making the teeth look
dingy. Then it forms cloudy
coats. Tartar is based on film.
Film also holds food substance
which ferments and forms acids.
It holds the acids in contact with
the teeth to cause decay. Germs
breed by millions in it. They,
with tartar, are the chief cause
of pyorrhea.
No ordinary tooth paste efec-
lively Combats film. So, under

Two ways found

To meet this situation, dental
science searched for ways to
fight film, and two ways were
found. One acts TO curdle film,
one to remove it, and without any
harmful securing.
Able authorities proved these
methods effective. Then a new
type tooth paste was ,reated,
based on modern research. The
name is Pepsodent. These two
great film combatants are en-
bodied in it. Then dentists the
world over began to advise its
use.

day night.
Shortly before II O'Clock Saturday
morning Private Mercer was found in
the rear of Capt. f. VI. Barnum's
quarters, cavalry post, in an uncon-
scious condition. A mark on the con-
crete curb indicated that his motor

sharp angle. II is believed that he
approached the curve in the street at
too high a speed TO make the turn
successfully, striking the curb and be-
ing thrown head-first to the pave
ment.
Upon being found he was rushed to
the station hospital. After examina-

entertained. as he sustained severe
