Nothing was said for a few min
utes, then Jack looked up from the
pine st;ck he was whittling and ob- i
served in a matter of fact way; I
•'You may be right, all right, but we i
are not any better off with this re
fractory gold that we can’t pan or
amalgamate.”
‘■flow is that?” asked Larry, and
J~ck answered, “we haven’t any
way of running cur samples except
by panning, and the Old Judith ;s
*00 far front the road to be contir.-1
nally packing qul samples. II we
did go in again to that claim, we
would have to go it blind.”
“We could tell by the grey crys
tals,” replied Larry, but his partner
■■ejoir.ed:
“There are lots of grey minerals.
T didn’t take the short course that!
you did but I know there is grey
copper, and arsenical pyrite, and
another kind of grey pyrite, and
some other minerals like black jack
are often grey, especially if they
are a little weathered.”
Larrv looked thoughtfully at the
stove for a while and then said:
“We can get the assayer to reter
minc the mineral and give us a
test for it. He must have saved j
some of the sample If we only i
bad a small assay outfit we couid j
make our own fire assays for gold |
or silver. I learned that in the
Short Course. We wouldn’t neeu
to run the samples as close as the .
experienced assayer, because we
wouldn’t be interested in the low
grade ore, at least not for the pres
ent. I ran sure ,ne vaiues are there
in the Old Judith, if we can ,,uo.
find a way to make this fire assay.”
Next installment: “A prospect

Lucky is a marvelous pal—
the toasted flavor overcomes a craving '
for foods which add weight*”
Reach
for a
Lucky
instead
of a
sweet.
George M. Cohan,
America’s Stage Favorite
NO longer need a trim, slender figure be
your envy. No longer need you face the
rigid requirements of harsh dieting methods.
Overweight is banished when you banish fatten
ing sweets and eating between meals and light a
Lucky. “Reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet.”
20,679 physicians have confirmed the fact that
Lucky Strike is less irritating to the throat than '
other cigarettes. These professional men realize
the value of toasting, the secret process that elim
inates impurities and irritants. Lucky Strike is
a delightful blend of the world’s finest tobaccos.
And toasting develops a flavor which is a delight
ful alternative for fattening sweets.
Many prominent athletes testify that Luckies
steady their nerves and do not harm their physical
condition. Men have long known this and practic
ed it successfully. These are the men who watch
their health, who keep trim and fit, realizing the
dangers of overweight. And now, women may en
joy a'companionable smoke with their husbands
and brothers—at the same time slenderizing
in a sensible manner. That’s why folks say:
“It’s good fo smoke Luckies.”
A reasonable proportion of sugar in the diet
is recommended, but the authorities are over
whelming that too many fattening sweets are*
harmful and that too many such are eaten by
the American people. So, for moderation’s sake
we say: —
“REACH FOR A LUCKY
INSTEAD OF A SWEET.”
