An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the AmericP
people are to day dying from the g.
fects of Dyspepsia or disOrdered liver
The result of these diseases upon the
masses of intelligent and valuable
people is most alarnli g. making life
actually a burden instead Of a pleasant
existence of enjoyment and usefulYesS
as il ought to be. There is no good
reason for this, if you will only thtow
aside prejudice and skepticism, take
the advice of druggists and your
friends, and try one bottle of Green's
August Flower. Your speedy relief
is certain. Millions of bottles of this
medicine have been given away to try
its virtues, with satisfactory results
in every case. You a buy a sample
bottle for 10 cents to try. Three doses
will relieve the worst case. Positive-
ly sold by all Druggists on the Yves
tern Continent.

a few days ago a man passed our
Office with six dozen eggs, in a bas-
ket, which he had purchased on Main
Street. In answer to u inquiry
what he paid per dezen for them, he
said: The number OF cents which [
paid for the entire lot, is equal to the
number Of eggs I received for each
eight cents Of the amount paid
What wal paid per dozen. Answer
10 this must give the method. and
reasoning by which it is arrived at.
Ansuer to problem of last week.
Mr.. r. F. B~etterton gives the correct
answer viz: 3OI sheep. He squares
Z, and then squares the 49,. The
product, 24O1, he divides by 6 42>43.
His reasoning is not furnished us.
Our own saIution is as follows.
1t must be evident that the least
commo multiple of 2. 8. 4. 5. e 6,
which is 90, vill when increased by
/, answer to the first conditions OF
the problem. But when we udsrtake
TO divide it by I, we fail, for I into
90 goes s times with 4 over. 1t is
evident we must take some multiple
of 60, which when ! is added to II
will be divisible by 7 without remain
der. Now 90 is composed OF the 90
plus 4. Plainly any multiple of the
56 will when one is added to the
product be divisible by z. Bat We
must take such a II rs when
applied to the remaining 4, will
come in / of containing Z without
q remainder. The first number
which answers this purpose IS
s. Thus 4 times 5 are 20, adding
TO 20 We have q, which is divia'ble
by /. Then 90 must be multiplied
br S and / added 10 the product

REMARKS:

The times may be considered hard, and
money scarce, but n few dollars invested
for the "Seven Springs Iron and Alum
Mass are worth $40 to every one thus
spent to any person who is not perfectly
well and hearty. There are persons that
would give $40 q bottle rather than be
without it. A gentleman in Mississippi
says he would give 500 for a single bottle
if he could not obtain it for less. The re-
tail price is only sl.0O per bOttle-sent
post-poid to any post Office. This Mass is
for sale by BUNTING & PEPPER, and J. A.

Murder.

Nearly three weeks ago some cattle men, camped few miles from Gila City found partially disinterred corpse of an American. He had been hastily buried face down and the coyotes had eaten most of the flesh from his back. His skull was crushed in two places, apparently by blows from pick. Ills boots had evident. ly been appropriated by the murderer, who had thrown hIs own brogans into the brush. No papers and no clew could be found to identify the body. It was evi- dently that of a prospector, his gold pan, outfit and part of his provisions having been found concealed near by. He was a man of about five feet nine inches, weigh ing some 165 pounds, complexion sandy; light mustache and chin beard.

Barnett has arrived here with Lord & Williams train, bringing 15000 pounds of wool and several lots of high grade silver ore. He leaves tomorrow or next day with 6O,0OO for Tucson. Wards train is due here to-day and will load merchandise for Globe District. Ward himself got here yesterday, having been to San Diego for the holidays. The Gila road is in ex- cellent condition, but transportation is scarce. The great influx of machinery for the past few months has almost mon- opolized transportation. Increase of bus mess and population have used up stocks of goods in the interior and merchants are badly in need of goods waiting for teams. Hauling quartz for the mills is occupying old teams faster than new ones come into the country and taking them of the freight roads. This demand in Mohave alone is now immense

A SETTLEMENT was made this week of Samter's loss by the late fire. The stock was insured for 5000 and the building for 5000. An agent of the Insurance Con- panies came down and settled the matter by arbitration, Col Barney, MT Lyons and the two parties interested appraising the loss at 5000 on the stock and at $500 on the building. Mir. Samter has gone to San Francisco to receive his money and to lay in new stock of goods. All this shows the benefit of iEsuring.

While coming down from San Francisco, and while the train was running some 35 miles an hour he accidentally stepped off the hind car, receiving severe bruises, but breaking no bones He was soon missed and the train was run back few miles to pick him up.
