[MINING NOTES]j
Walter M. French, who has been
mining the Ellis property at Cache
creek, reports that the strike on the
Ellis property is of a high grade and
the ore now being taken out is assay
ing very high. Recently two pieces
were mined, one of which had $00.00
worth of pure.gold and the other $10b
worth. The “pay dirt” is now being
gathered from the slice boxes, the for
mation being such that hydrulicking is
possible. There is a quartz vein run
ning across the placer properties and
the vein on the Ellis property, now
being worked, is decomposed quartz.
While the operators are sluicing out
the decomposed quartz to get at the
hard quartz underneath, the run of
high grade gold continues.

YANKEE BREAKFAST
FOR FRENCH, HIS
FOOD PRESCRIPTION
BORDEAUX, France, July 12, (By
Mail).—The American breakfast of
ham and eggs, liver and bacon, beef
steak and other meat, vegetables and
porridge, as a substitute for the mea
ger European morning meal, is recom
mended for France by Or. Bergonic,
professor of the Bordeaux Medical
Faculty. Dr. Bergonic regards this
substitution as one of the reforms
most likely to relieve the economic
situation, by providing rational nour
ishment and avoiding a great deal of
waste.
He bases his argument on the fact
that man requires sustenance most at
the beginning of the day when he is
about to make his effort, whereas in
Europe he takes his principal meal
when his day’s work is half through,
when he is half tired out and is incap
able of so digesting his meal as to give
him proper support for the balance of
the day’s work.
