There has been considerable prospecting done though mostly on the surface. 4 tunnel run m B. feet only cuts into the capping of the ledge, but various cuts and prospecting holes made al different places all show that here there is an immense deposit of cop per ore ranging from the pure brown oxide of copper. yielding 90 per cent. to varieties of copper and iron which will give 20 per cent.

Why Is It.

The truths of sciene and progressive thought
have always been compelled to batter down
the bulwarks of prejudice and disbelief, or re-
main forever unknown. Why is it that peo-
pie are SO reluctant to receive facts that re-
late directly to the phenomena of their own
existence? Astronomers, upon discovering a
star, assign it place at once, and it is forever
fixed. The rule by which a mathematical
problem is once solved becomes forever an
axiom; but no matter how clearly the prin-
ciples which govern health and sickness be
demonstrated, some refuse to believe. DR..
Pierce's Family Medicines, which are now so
generally used, and deservedly popular, were,
in their early days, very reluctantly received
by the people. To-day, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery has outrivaled the Old-time
sarsaparillas, his Pellets are in general use in
place of the coarse, huge, drastic pills former
1y so much employed, while the sales of his
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and his Favorite

pimples, or where there are scrofulous swell
lings and affections, a few bottles of his Gold

cures, leaving the liver strengthened and
