pretty white frocks she may be for
tunate enough to possess.
Let's suppose, for instance, that a
pretty sleeveless all-white frock num-
bers among those present in your
wardrobe. Why not take a cue from
the winsome model in the picture,
and with few deft gestures stylize
your color-lack gown to the queens
taste?
Assuming that the dress you are
going to touch up is sleeveless. the
first step would be to buy square of
white crepe or white-fabric such as
that of your dress, making it into a
bandana, to be tied about the neck
line after the manner pictured.
These kerchiefs add ever so much
of chic to the gown sans sleeves. And
now for the coveted flash of color!
Cut vanished circles in confetti col
ors of any tidbits of silk crepe which
you have been boarding up to use
when the psychological moment ar
rives. These circlets of silk, if APP
pliqued as you see, are wonderfully
decorative and quite up-to-the-mo-
ment when it comes to modernistic
design.
If your urge is to hand-paint instead
of applique, the patterning could be
brushed in with colorfast dyes. Or
perhaps your talent runs to embroid-
ering. All well and good. There is
nothing mere alluring in the way of
a summer frock than one of white
silk or jersey cloth, embroidered in
colorful gay yarn.
A kerchief neckpiece worked with
cluster of wool flowers in true-tO-life
colorings with a matching floral mo-
tiff positioned on the frock somewhat
as are the bright circles in the pic
ture, would pay dividends in beauty
well worth the time and talent of the
designer.
Answering to the call for white
with color, peasant frocks of white
crepe gaily shocked and embroidered
are listed among this seasons leading
modes.

The omelet can be cooked in three

OR, continue the cooking on top of

place under a low broiler fame for
two or three minutes. Or, If pre-
ferred, cover the pan during the whole
period and so cook the top of the

Omelets with different names are
simply variations of plain omelets,

onto the platter. Chopped fried ham
or bacon, grated cheese, or cooked
vegetable such as peas, mushrooms

chopped onion, green pepper. celery,
and parsley delicately fried in butter,
are some suggestions for variations Of
plain omelet. Sweet omelets spread

AMERICAN CREEK
 MINING COMPANY
 SURVEY COMPLETE

The work of surveying the big mineral holdings of the Ameri- can Creek Mining Company, on American Creek in the upper Bear River section, has been completed by Dalby B. Morkill, B. c. Land Surveyor, according to Oren F. Hill, president and managing director of the com pany, who returned to town Tuesday, after spending most of the past week on the prop erty. MT. Morkill is now en- gagged in survey work in the Marmot River section.
 MT. Hill informed the Herald that work on the company property, comprising fifty-two claims and fractions, is prog ressing steadily under the di- rection of A. Pasco, local met allurgist and assayer. Between 10 and 12 miles of trail has been built leading to the many different known ore bodies and shoWings, from which hun dreds of assays have been made during the past four or five years. The work now in progress is confined entirely to systematic development of the surface showings. The com pany is also constructing a good camp, so located that the various and widespread ore ex- posures can be reached by the shortest route possible to at tain.
 No more convincing evidence of the confidence of local min ing men in the future of the American Creek Mining Go. property could be found than is presented in the authoritat- i've statement that William H. Tolin, manager of the Mount ain Boy Mining, has purchased a very large block of stock in the former company, the prop ties of which adjoin the Mount ain Boy.
 The Mountain Boy is already proven mine and sensational developments on the property are expected to be announced in the very near future, accord ing to those in a position to know the inside facts regard ing recent operations.

PRELIMINARY WORK ON POWER PROJECT
 WELL UNDER WAY

Activities on the new Ameri- can Creek power development project of the Power Corporal ion of Canada are now well un- der way. A crew of about 2O' men is engaged in clearing a road from the Bear River high way to the site of the proposed power plant and in clearing the timber from the site of the projected dam and power house. A large amount of pre- liminary investigation work is necessary before actual con- struction work is started, ac- cording to the Corporation rep resentatives. This will include examination of the rock found ations of both the power and dam sites.

MONARCH VEIN SHOWING STRONG
 IN NEW TUNNEL

From few stringers at the surface to a heavily mineral ized ore body four feet in width within a distance of 19 feet from the portal of the new prospect tunnel is the interest result attained under the de- velopment program launched in recent days by the Hyder- Monarch Gold Mining Comp any on the Monarch group, lo- cated between the Riverside mine and the Fish Creek prop critics of the American Mining and Milling Company.
 The vein is clearly defined, with both walls free, and is strongly mineralized across the entire four feet of width, al- though the heaviest concen- tration occurs along the foot wall, according to Arthur Moa, general manager of the comp any.
 Values at the new level have not been determined but ore appears of good commercial grade. Samples taken from the surface exposures a short dist ance beyond the present face of the tunnel have given assay returns running over 1000 ounces ill silver per ton and high values are expected when this area is reached. The tun- nel is now in 27 feet and is ex- pected to reach the lower ex- tensions of the high grade zone within a short time. The ore is galena and carries con- siderable gold in addition to the silver and lead values, ac- cording to the surface assays.

A cable report covering de- velopment progress on the B. c. Silver, issued by the London office of the Selukwe company July IS, provides an interest ing insight from official sour- ces regarding the recent high ly promising ore discovery on that property in the announce ment that the ore body encoun- tered in drift 636 on the 9th level had been opened for a distance of 120~ feet, with the ore continuing in the face. The average value for the whole 12O- feet was given as $22 per ton across a width of ' feet. As ore was still to be seen on both the hanging and foot walls, indications pointed to the ore body being of some what greater width, the esti- mate being around ten feet. Some of the cut samples were said to have given assays rang ing between $60 and $100 per ton.
 The ore body is considered the downward continuation of the rich All Premier stope, ac- cording to the report.
