EXPERTS ARE SEEKING
QUICKSILVER SURSTITUTE
New methods of treating quicksil
ver ores are being undertaken by the
California state mining bureau.
The importance of this work, un
der way by Fletcher Hamilton, state
mineralogist, is shown by the fact
that no substitute for quicksilver in
Hie manufacture of fulminate of mer
cury for detonating caps, has been
discovered.
During the present war, Germany
lias been depending on the Austrian
• mines for quicksilver. The ulhes J
have the American and Spanish j
minis to draw upon.
Kcgnnling the jueseiit studies on
quicksilver, its ores and production
Hamilton has this to say:
'i
For many years California lias
been, and still is, producing from 70
to X0 per cent of the quicksilver yield
of tile United States.
This metal is absolutely essential
from a military standpoint. *
in tills connection, the investiga
tion of the possibilities of concen
tration for quicksilver ores, wliie.i
lias been under way for the last tw.
years by an engineer of the stnti
mining bureau staff is particularly
opportune.
Iteturns on the production of quick
silver in California for the calendar
year Itilti shows a considerable in
crease, both in quantity and value
over the previous year.
The total number of flasks (con
• mining seventy five pounds) amount
,.,l to 21,400, mill were sold for :i
total of $2,000,900, by the mine opera
tors .
The quotations varied from the
high level of $300 tier flask, in Feb
ruary, to an average around $75 for
the last six months of the year.
lieeause of the rapid fluctuations
'in prices during the' first six months,
quotations did not always mean sales.
For this reason .although the aver
age of quotations for the year was
$125, (he actual saleaby the produc
ers averaged but $03.50.^
Nearly 50 per cent of the above
total came from San Benito country,
with about 20 per cent from Santa
Clara county, and the balance made ]
up of smaller amounts from Lake, |

In the bureau's investigation a wide :
variety of ores has been tested by
water concentration, flotation wMh
oils and a wet method by solution
with an alkaline sulphide. Each of
these methods has shown some ores
particularly amenable to it.
take Iron, Says Doctor, if You
Want Plenty of “Stop Chore”
Strength Like an Jltblete!
Ordinary Nuxated Iron Will Make De
licate, Nervous, Rundown Poeple 200
Per Cent Stronger in Two Week’s
Time in Many Cases.
NEW YOUK, N. Y.,—Most people
foolishly seem lo think they are going
to get renewed health and strength
from some stimulating medicine, se
cret nostrum or narcotic drug, said
Dr. Sauer, specialist who has studied
widely both in this country and Eu
rope, when, us a matter of fact, real
and true strength can only come from
the food you eat. Dill people often
fail to get the strength out ot their
food because litey haven't enough iron
in their blood lo enable it lo change
food into living matter. From their
weakened, nervous condition they
know something is wrong, but they
con’t tell what, so they generally com
mence doctoring for stomach lisrer or
kidney trouble or symptoms of some
other uifinent caused by the lack of
lion in the blood. This thing may go
on for years, while the patient suffers
untold agony. If you are not strong
or well, you owe it to yo.urself to make
the following test. See how long you
can work or how far you can walk
without becoming tired. Next take two
live grain tablets of ordinary nuxated
iron three times per day after meals
for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see for yourself
Irbvi much you have gained. I have
seen dozens of nervous rundown peo
ple who were . ailing all the while,
double and even triple their strength
and endurance and entirely get rid of
all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and
other troubles in from ten to fourteen
days’ time simply by taking iron in
the proper forms, and Ibis after they
Had in some cast's been doctoring for
months without obtaining any benefit.
But don’t take the old forms of re
duced iron, iron acetate or tincture of
iron simjiy to save a few cents. You
must take iron In a form that can be
easily absorbed and assimilated ,ikc
nuxated iron if you want it to do you
any good, otherwise it may prove worse
than useless. Many an athlete or prize
fighter has won the day simply be
cause he knew the secret of great
strength and endurance and filled his
blood witli iron before lie went into
tlie affray, while many another lias
gone down to inglorious defeat simply
for tlie lack of iron.
Note.—Nuxated Iron recommended
above by Dr. Sauer, is on# of the
newer organic iron compounds. Un
like ttie older Inorganic iron products,
it is easily assimilated, does not injure
tlie teeth, make them black, nor upset
the stomach; on the contrary, it is a
most potent remedy, in nearly all
forms of indigestion, as well as for
nervous, run-down condit'ions. The
Manufacturers have such great confi
dence in Nuxated Iron that they offer
to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable
institution if they cannot take any
man or woman under 60 who lacks Iron!
and increase their strength 200 per]
cent or over in four weeks time pro
vided they have no serious organic
trouble. They also offer to Refund
your money if It does not at least
double your strength and endurance
in ten day’s time. It is dis^nsed in
