BUILDING, FENCING
AND FUEL.

One of the special advantages which
this county possesses over the treeless
plains of Western Kansas is found in
its timber, coal and stone. The average
width of timber belts is half mile or
more, and the quality is excellent, fur
nishing a reasonable supply for all prac-
teal purposes, as is shown by the fact
that the price of good hard wood in the
towns seldom exceeds $3.50 per cord. In
the eastern and less timbered portion OF
the county coal of fair'quality is mined
in quantities sufficient for domestic
purposes, and will no doubt be devel-
oped as the wants of the county require.
For building aud fencing stone of an
excel,en. quality abounds in many local,
tiles, yet SO disposed as to interfere but
little with the cultivation of the soil.

COUNTY SEAT.

lola, the county seat of Allen county,
is pleasantly located near the confluence
of Elm Greek and the Neosho River,
and on the L. L. & G.. railroad. The
Neosho at this point only needs to be
improved to furnish good water power
for mills and manufactures. Good pure
water can be obtained at depth of from
fifteen to twenty-five feet. It has three
churches, Baptist, Methodist and Pres.
byterian, and an excellent school build
ing. The different branches of business
and the professions are we'll represented;
and property can now be purchased at a
reasonable price which must steadily
increase in value.

The lola Mineral we'll is at this time
the chief attraction of the town. The

have proved that its healing properties
are second to none in the country. A

AMONG the many localities in Kansas
which offer peculiar advantages to the
Home-Seeker, Allen County, as regards
Location, Soil, Water, Timber, Cheap
Land, Convenience to Market, Facilities
for Transportation, Towns, Settlements
and Society, stands second to no other in
the State, as brief reference to the above
mentioned particulars will show:
LOCATION.
This county is second from the East
and third from the South line of the
State. 1t is one hundred miles south
east from Topeka, seventy-fve miles
south from Lawrence, one hundred south
west of Kansas City and twenty-five
miles west from Fl. Scott and lies mainly
within the celebrated Neosho valley.
SOIL.
The soil of the uplands is black or
dark red calcareOus loan of great depth
and inexhaustable fertility, while that
OF the bottoms is the black alluvial de-
posits usually found in such localities,
and varying from four to ten feet in
depth. No better soils forthe successful
production Of all the grains, grasses,
fruits and vegetables of this latitude can
be found in the State.

halfpast ten o'clock tllis forenoon. 1t
was a fine exhibition of artistic
combinations, rare animals ard handsome
horses, the caYalcade being headed by the
band chariot, gorgeous with golden carvings
and silken canopy. The herd OF five ele-

features Of the procession, but the entire
turnout was one Of extensive proportions

were most complete, ard Mr.. Fore.

AYERS CATHARrIc PILLS are the best Of
all purgatives for family use. They are the
product of long, laborious, and successful
chemical investigation, and their extensive
use, by Physicians in their practice, and by
all civilized nations, proves them the best
and most e%fiectual purgatiye Pill that medi-
cal science can devise. Being purely vege-
table no harm can arise from their use. In
intrinsic value and curative powers no other
Pills can be compared with them and every
person, knowing their virtues, will employ
them, when needed. They keep the system
in perfect order, and maintain in heal .hy
action the whole machinery of life. Mild,
searching and ellectual, they are specially
adapted to the needs of the digestive appa-
ratns, arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are the
best and safest physic to employ for children
and weakened constitutions, where a mild,
but effectual, cathartic is required.

SAN JUAN SILVER FIELDS.

The Silver World, at Lake City, of July
2Sth, gives the following notice of Mineral
Point mountain, the rich silver region where
the Dakota and San Juan company are in
terested:
The entire mountain region about Mineral
Point is a perfect net work of veins, which
do not run in any one general direction but,
with the exception OF the great Mastodon
vein seem to be grouped about three great
centres these centres were extinct craters
and toward them the majority of the veins
enter and dip, as naturally as the sum rays
toward the sun or the spokes of a wheel to
ward its hub.
The mineral formation Of this portion of
San Juan is more marked and clearly dein.
Gle than any other mining region on the face
of the globe. The immense veins crop IN
above the surface of the ground often to the
height OF three or four feet and are trace.
able with the eye over the mountains for
miles. Some of these veins are very wide,
thirty and forty feet being very common,
while one hundred feet is reached in instan.
ces. The famous Mastodon vein is a manuel
and the wonder of scientific mon it stands
up like a great wagon road and runs in al
most a straight line over mountain and
through valleys upon it are some fourteen
locations.
The same paper thus alludes TO a former
Yanktonian:
Capt, A. w. Burrows, one of San Juan's
pioneers and most honored sons, whose un-
firing energy, enterprise and money have
been for years devoted to the welfare of this
rich country, is at Mineral, having returned
during our visit, and is pushing his opera
lions with zeal. OF his numerous mining
interests in other localities we shall speak in
our mention Of the various portions Of the
districts.
