This Sarsaparilla Is combination of

drake Y elbow Dock-with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full Alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still so effectual as
to purge out from the system those
IMPURITIES and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from it's cures, and the confidence
which prominent ply ysicians all over
the country repose in it proves their
experience of it's usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stantly being received, and as many
Of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other Alternative medicine.
So generally is Its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no moro than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

AN old turkey raiser gives the fol-
lowing experiment: Four turkeys
were fed on meal, boiled potatoes and
oats. Four others of the same brood
were also at the same time confined in
another pen and fed daily on the same
article, but with one pint of very finely
pulverized charcoal mixed with their
food-mixed meal and boiled potatoes.
They had also plentiful supply of
charcoal in their pen. The eight were
killed on the same day,and there was a
difference of one and one half pounds
each in favor of the fouls which had
been supplied with charcoal, they being
much the fattest, and the meat being
greatly superior in point of tenderness
and favor.-lN. Y. Herald.

The Silver King Mine Operations
 af Picket Post.

| The Silver King mine is situated
 in the northern part of Pinal County,
 Pioneer District, in basin at the
 foot Of d steep mountain range, was
 discoverred in 1875, by c. G. Mason, B. w. Reagon, w. L. Long and Ike kOplin, amp was the first location
 placed on record in Pinal County Long and Koplin sold their interests to the other partners in June lS69, and in December following Mason
 sold his half interest to Col James
 NJ. Barney for S30O,000 Six months
 later the Silver King Mining Com
 pany was incorporated with capital stock of S10,000,000 in 100, ,000 shares
 Previous to the Incorporation S26O,- 900 had been divided among the owners, derived from sales ofore, and since it's formation the company has paid to its stockholders in dividends S450,000 No assessment has been levied The property has paid all expenses since discovery, built ten stamp mill complete, which is now in full operation, and furnished hoistiDg works, which will be in op- eration some time during this com ing weeH. The veln matter isquartz. the minerals consisting chiefly ot chloride and black sulphrets, with quantities of pure silver in nuggets
 The old shaft is down 257 feet and drifts and tunnels in all directions show that the mineral is not only..ie- posted on top of the ground, but ex- tends down into mother earth. A new working shaft has also been commenced which is to bo sunk 1000 feet. There is now in sight, by act ual miners measurement S1,OOO,OOO besides $750,0 900 worth of ore on the dump and tailings at the mill, which latter are to be reduced by amalga- nation, a process the company IS about to introduce to their otherwise perfect mill and thereby save that which is lost by present process The entire cost of the mill was S6O,- 900. Wood and water are in the vicinity of mine and mill, and the property is distant from terminus ot the Southern Pacific Railroad but sixty miles. the ore is hauled from the mine to tho mill, four miles in wagons. About fifty men are employ ed by the company. Picket Post and the town of Silver King both show considerable activity-YucsonCiti

The Atchison and Topeka

A correspondent of the New York Times, writing from New Mexico de tailing the affairs 0f the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, says The Boston Company are backed by unlimited capital, and have deter mined on the construction of 8 road from Guaymas thls way, meeting the road from this side at a point called Soldiers Farewell, 420 miles from Las Vegas, the presnt terminus, and nearly midway of the route. The distance Gall raiD from New York to Guaymas will be about $500 miles. Noly 5000 miles further than from New York to San Francisco. Guay- mas is an average distance of 500 miles nearer the principal ports of China than San Francisco, and up- wards of 1000 miles nearer Aus tralia.
 The Chicago Ranlray Rerieqc says of the Sonora Railway: The Massa- ehusetts- paIties who are principal owners in the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, have received permission from the reilroad commission to take out a charter under the name of The Soncra Company" for building road in Mexico A special act has been passed by the Massachusetts permitting such corpor- ations.

WE WILL HAVE THE PAY OR KEEP OUR
 GOODS!

We hereby notify our friends and the public generally that from this time forth we will cease to sell for credit on any terms whatever. We are aware that in order to do this we will have to sell cheaper than our neigh bors, and we are prepared to do so. As we are building we are very much pressed for cash, and therefore it will be better for us to sell for cost than to sell on ever so short a time, no matter how good the buyer. The facts in the case are just these: 1t is a necessity with us to have our goods or to have the wherewith to buy Of course we do not expect to do so much business, but we are de- termined to do what we can.
 Our Lumber Yard is now full and nearly com plete.

 which a new market does not open for some American product or manu- facture, and often in the least likely places That the distance of this mar llet at the antipodes has no deterring effect, is shown by the fact that this city ships horse cars to New Zealand at the cost of transportation ot over $20O each, and agricultural imple- ments to Australia.

Lake Waramaug,

Have you ever been there? No ?-then go at the first opportunity. We had heard of it's beauties and go we mast. It was one of sum- mers perfect days-Our party, ''select few" were in readiness at an early hour so that the fifteen miles of hills might be accomplished in the cool of the day. The lunch 5asket, care fully packed, was not forgotton-Oh no Without any special difficulty Tn finding the lake we arrived in good time, having had a charming drive over roads for the most part new to us, for not one of us had ever been to Waramaug. The day was passed quite de- lightfully in rambling, boating and ndlunching- Seemingly there was nothing to mar enjoy- ment. Of course we must finish by drive around the lake. ''It is only few miles, there is but one hill, and we shall soon be around, will not say it was farther than we supposed, that we took the road at our left one time too many, an! only by retracing our steps were saved from drive into the water-Suf- flee it to say that when the tsoelce mtle circuit was finished not one of our party doubted that the hour had arrived for setting our faces homeward- and when home Was reached and we were assured of the fact that we had con- pleted journey of forty miles, do you think one of us questioned it? or do you wonder that when urged to an excursion to Waramaug the following week, we sorrowfully(?) declin- ed? Nevertheless it pays, even at torty nss5es aid when you go you will say so.

The Gunnery Encampment.
ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT ON LAKE WARAMAUG OF MR. F. w. GUNN's WASHINGTON
 SCHOOL AND r 8 FRIENDS

"Point Beautiful having been sold and con- verted to base uses of civilization by the erec- tion on it's hallowed surface of Summer Cot tage by Mir. Black of New Milford, the annual encampment of the Gunnery was transferred to point nearly opposite and just in front of the residence of Mir. Norris, genial Connecti- cut carpet-bagger, recently from Danbury. There were grave misgivings in regard to the change of site. For years, Point Beautiful had been associated with the most delightful of these always delightful reunions. For years it had resounded with joyous songs and it's pier had sent good cheer and stood for beacon of hospitality all round the Lake. ''We can't possibly like the new place. was the cry of every tongue-except that of MT. Gum himself, who with his usual perspicuity took in the situation and saw more and further than any one else Charley Beeman who is the fortunate owner of tle point, was sanguine that it would take precedence of the old loca- tion, but then landlords are prone to speak with pardonable prejudice. But he was right and so was Mir. Gum. Point Beautiful is beautiful still, but the new point is making strong inroads on it's popularity.
 By the way. it is little interesting to know how Point Beautiful received it's name. It was originally known as Bean Point for no better reason perhaps than that the man who years and years ago lived in an old house nearby raised beans. The ruins are still visible, but the beans and the bean-raiser are no more. On one occasion, at an encamp- ment we believe, Mir. Gum gathered his pu- pills around him and pointing up and down the lake, called their attention to the beautiful prospect on either hand. The sun was setting

The most exciting incident of the week is the shooting of J. s. Kalloch, formerly of Massachusetts, a clergyman who was all but convicted of adultery in that state, and who has since been notorious in Kansas politics. He is now the workingmen's candidate for Mayor of San Francisco and has been engag- ed in bitter personal controversy with De Young, editor of the Chronicle of that place, in the course of which the latter accused Kal- loch's father of immortality: and Kalloch call ed De Young the bastard son of a prostitute. On Saturday, De Young called Kalloch out of his study, and shot him twice; once in the thigh, and once through the lungs. A crowd assembled, and was kept from hanging De Young with the greatest difficulty. Luckily Kearney advised leaving the prisoner to the law, or riot and lynching would have been almost certain to have ensued. The Chronicle has made itself extremely obnoxious by indecent personal attacks, and popular feel ing was very strongly against it's editors. At last reports Kalloch was doing well, with a fair prospect of recovery.

The financial depression in Canada during the year past has been very serious. There has been joss in Canadian stocks alone of over $50, 900, 900. The protective policy re- gently inaugurated has no other apparent ef- feet, says Consul Mason, of Quebec, than that of decreasing the revenue and increasing the expenses of living. ''The opinion is fast gaining ground that the productions of the Dominion are too limited, and of such char acter as not to be benefited by protection. But worse than all is the condition of the working classes. In Quebec during the past winter, there was scarcely any employment. The few who labored on the Dufferin Ter race received from 40 to 60 cents per day, being mostly carpenters. The present wages paid on the new Government Building is from 50 to 80 cents, and on the harbor improvement from 80 cents to $1; many of these employees being skilled mechanics It is estimated that there are not less than 1000 workingmen at present out of employment in Quebec and it's suburbs. The controversies about the distri- button of the small. amount of work to be done culminated in the riot of the 18th inst.
