BOISE, Idaho. (UP)—Higher gold prices and an improved outlook for silver have brought stirrings of life to some of Idaho’s ghost cities—famous mining centers where millions of dollars in gold and silver were obtained during the early days of the territory and state. While such stirrings have not yet attracted general attention, it is known that several projects have been moving steadily toward large scale development work. Especially is this true in Silver City, most famous of the Ghost cities. More than 100 miners have been working since weather became favorable this spring. Among properties being Worked

Mountain properties. On the Mountain Chance property, 40 men are being worked in day and night shifts and the prediction is made by mining men that this force will soon be increased to 75 or 80 men. Below Silver City, on Jordan creek, a dredging company has secured ground and plans to put in a large dredge in the near future. E. H. Dewey. Nampa, whose father, Col. \V. H. Dawey, made a fortune from his strikes in the Florida Mountain properties, and Janies Murray, Xar.ipa, old-time mining man, are among local men who are working for the rejuvenation of the district.

drill, Dr. Drozen said.

— and they do something like that to mellow good tobaccos

VyTHERE THE RARE WINES come W from they know that the two most important things in wine-mak-ing are the selection of the grapes and the long years of ageing in the wine cellars. ITS VERY MUCH THE SAME in the making of a cigarette. You have to get the right tobaccos, then put them away to age and mellow in wooden casks. | You can’t make a good cigarette like Chesterfield in a day. It takes over two years to age the tobaccos for your Chesterfields—but it adds something to the taste and makes them milder. Everything that modern Science really knows about is used to make Chesterfield the cigarette that's milder, the cigarette that tastes better.
