Every one knows that Royal Baking
Powder is absolutely pure. - Hence the
housewife uses it with implicit confidence
and without question, and she is justified
in so doing.
But how. few realize that Royal Baking
Powder in its chief ingredient Is a direct prod
uct of the healthful and delicious grape! This
constituent of the grape, crystallized and ground
to an impalpable powder, is ihe cream of tar?
tar which forms the active principle of every
pound of Royal Baking Powder.
Fruit properties are indispensable to the v
healthfulness of the. body, and those of the
grape as used in the "Royal" are the most
valuable and healthful of all.
Hence it is that Roval Baking Powder
produces food superlative both in flavor
and wholesomeness.

New York, March 18. Special trade
advices from correspondent of the
International Mercantile Agency
throughout the United States chronicle
interruptions and changes incidental
to breaking from snow storms Into a
semblance of spring weather and the i
usual season's Increase of labor dis
turbances. The latter despite their
seriousness at New York are offset by
the conservative action of 190,000 soft
coal miners, who Tiave decided to ac
cept a reduction in wages.
Prices for wheat and cotton dropped
further than many bears expected.
Over a considerable period wheat
should range relatively high on 60,
non 000 bushels decline in domestic vis
ible and invisible supplies within three
years. The long predicted freer move
ment of cotton from the Interior with
growing short sentiment has, had the
natural effect. The unusual accumula
tion of funds at New York, by which
banks are strengthened , against the
day, of Panama settlement and pos
sible needs by banks at European cen
ters, due In oart to checked demands
for mercantile accommodation. , In
Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Chicago and
St Louis there Is a slackening m de
mands from banks also. On the other
hand. Boston banks report no such
check. Except at Chicago, among
other cities, railway shipping facilities
have vastly Improved since' last week,

olements and swelling volumes of sale

Spencer Gulch Make Showing of Frea
Milling Ore.
Jacksonville. Ore, March 18.-Jck
and James McNulty. who have beea
prospecting Jn the upper Applegat
district for some months past, are de
veloping a quart ledge on Spencer
gulch near Unlontown, about 11 mile
southwest of Jacksonville. The ledge
has been traced about 480 feet on the
Burface and a shaft has been sunk 4
feet at which depth the ledge is over
four feet wide and assay made from
various ports give flattering evidence
of the richness of the mine. At the
depth of 45 feet a vein of sulphite 1
inches wide was struck that yield
high values., One sample of 1 l-
ounces that was burned out In a fry
ing pan yielded 30 cents in gold and
a specimen of quartz sulphite weigh
ing one-half pound when mortared
and the gold collected with quicksil
ver gave 75 cents' worth of the yellow
metal. These tests show that values
run about $2000 per ton, and the ore
80 far Is free-milling. McNulty
brothers are going to sink their shaft
to a 75-foot level and then run a tun
nel to meet it. There is every indi
cation that the mine will prove to be
a money-maker, 4
