WOMAN FINDS ORE
 IN COLORADO MINE

RICO, Colo, Aug 8. (P-Samples of quartz recently taken from the Columbine gold mine located at Vance Junction, owned and operat- ed by Mrs. M. A. Meenen of Dolores, show that the mine lies in the per- main red beds and assays a con- plex ore which carries one ounce of gold to the ton.
 Mrs. Meenen is being congratu- lated upon having faith in her 12- foot streak and seemingly it is go- ing to be a real gold producer.
 Should this group prove a money maker, it would not only assist this territory morally in the gold min- ing industry, but will actually help to take the depression out of this region.

PATENT |S GIVEN ID
 APPARATUS F0R THE
 LOCATION MINERALS ]

Apparatus for taking electric eadings involving the electric cur rent and potential as it passes through a given section of the earth's crust, for determining geo. logical structure and as a means of locating ores, minerals, etc., has
 been invented by Oliver H. Gish.
 of Somerset, Chevy Chase, Md, to
 whom has been granted an Amer ican patent. Rights in the patent
 have been assigned by the in- ventor to Carnegie Institution of Washington, corporation at Washington, D. o., according to the United States Daily.
 The depths explored by the ap- Iparatus, it is stated, vary from
 few feet to 2,000 feet. This meth cd, however, promises to be suc- cessful, the inventor asserts, in ex- ploring to even greater depths.
 The purpose of the invention" ," it is explained, lis to explore the earth's crust by means of electrical measurements or readings made at the earth's surface. and thereby ascertain the subsurface geological structure and it's varia tions both
 laterally and with depth, and thus
 assist in the location of minerals 'of many and varied sorts, in the
 location designing, etc., of mines
 or deep foundation structures,
 bridge piers and other operations where a knowledge of the geologi-
 cal structure is needed"
 The measurement in a region of homogeneous earth taken by this method, says the specification, ap- piled in suitable formula or euua- tion, yield the resistivity, or resist ence of the unit cube of earth. Resistivity of different geological formations, it is stated, differs over wide limits. Thereby is found a l possibility of distinguishing differ ent types of earth structure.
 The method consists in passing a measured current through the earth between two selected points and measuring the potential differ ences between two other selected points resulting from the flow of the current.

WOODEN DRESS FOR GENERAL
WEAR.
The wooden dress has much to say
about fashion these days. 1t seems
to be the rule for general day wear.
Here is an effective color COM
bination in deep brown wool crepe
with green rever and cuffs. Brown
bone buttons accent the side clos
ing and attractively fared sleeve
cuffs.
The wrapped closing at the front
combines with the sharp diagonal
lines and the vertical line of the
plated skirt inset, to fatter the
height of the figure.
Style No. 500 may be had in sizes
IA, is, Is, 20 years, SO and SO inches
bust. Size l6 requires 3Ss yards of

TURKEY DINNER
TO Be CHEAPER
THAN YEAR AGO
Thanksgiving Birds viii
Sell for rs Cents Pound,
Dealers Predict.

Bountiful Thanksgiving dinners,
with turkey and all the trimmings,
should cost indianapolis families
less this year than for many years
past, according to local dealers.
With turkeys plentiful, the king
of fowls" is expected to command
a wholesale price here of about Is
cents a pound, dressed, compared
with last years average of 81 cents.
The retail price, of course, will be
several cents higher. Prices this year
are expected to be only a little more
than half those of two years ago.
With the price of groceries gen.
orally about 80 per cent lower than
at the same time last year, accord
ing to chain grocery heads, tur-
key dinner for six this year should
cost about $4.25, as compared with
about SIS last year, and consider
ably more in 1929.
Other Fowls Cheaper
This estimate by grocers was
based on the following suggested
menu: Tomato cocktail, celery,
olives, turkey and dressing, creamed
cauliflower, cranberry sauce, can
died sweet potatoes, grape fruit sal
ad, bread and butter, pumpkin pie
and coffee.
The turkey required would weigh
about ten pounds, costing about %
or 80 cents a pound.
Co., III
geese for turkey, the cost would be
reduced, although there is little
change in the cost of these items
compared with last year, it was re-
ported.
Cranberries Cheaper
One commission wholesaler, in
quoting prices, pointed out that
cranberries, which last year sold
wholesale at from So to 1925 a box,
are selling at about 81 this year;
celery, which has been about half
Of last years prices, is due for a
slight rise because of crop damage
in the north, but still will be below
last years cost; caulifower is about
10 cents a bunch cheaper.
Sweet potatoes almost are being
given away, he said, with medium
grade, Indiana grown, retailing at
about cents a pound.
Pumpkins are plentiful, retailing
at from Is cents to IS cents, while
grapefruit is even lower than it
was last year, fine large ones selling
for no more than 5 cents, as a rule,
