fer say $50, 900 cash. They reason that they found this mine easily, and there are plenty more chances somewhere else; that $50, 900 is a good deal of money; and that with it they can live at ease for few years, or they can go on and find another mine equally as good
 1 But now step in the capitalists, who are eau tious and coOl-headed' They are not going to throw away their $50, 900 on a fraud or worth less piece of property. They have got to find out exactly the capacity of the mine before investing. Hence they say to A and B "We will give you $10,0O0 each, cash down, for the privilege of buying your mine three months from date at the fixed price of $50, 900 ;that is, $1O, 900 now and $40, 900 at the expiration of that time. Meanwhile we are to have full control of the mine, and to have the right to work it and get out ore to to the value of $1O,- 900, the amount that we advance. If at the end of three months we conclude that the mine IS not worth purchasing, or if we fail to raise the extra $40, 900, the mine reverts to you, and you keep the $10,000 which we have mines in the LtadVe9 hR as f h5& b "aRsf bond for different amounts. -LeGdgile (C0!) letter to Chicago Times.

there are no traces of these near the surface The city occupied a tract of country extend ing over many acres, but the principal quarter appears to have been situated on neck of land between the river and the sea.
 We crossed the he'd of the stream, which was quite dry except near it's mouth, and tray | elled over considerable range of artificial
 mounds covered with short fine grass afford | ing pasturage to herds of good looking cattle. l At frequent intervals are wells used by tine
 Arabs for irigating their fields. 1 examined several of these, and feel convinced that they or reservoirs such as are to be seen in remark able preservation at Carthage.
 The debris is not extensive on the right bank of the river, but the surrounding hills are covered with detached ru1ns for many miles away.
 Near ttfe sea shore, about mile from the post, are the remains of stadium and thea atre, both much ruined.
 In 1919, Captain Smyth, of the British Navy, visited Lepis Magma, while surveying the coast of Africa. He was able to trace many of the ruins much more clearly than can now be done, and he male plan of the city in which are located most of the principal edifi- cies, and the lines of the walks The Captain spent several months in his explorations, and it is said that he persuaded the then Boy of Tripsi to cede the ruins to Great Britain. It It is claimed by the present authorities that the transfer was illegal as it never received the sanction of the Porte. However this may De, Capt. Smyth took to England many specimens from the ruins. and would have taken more, probably, had he possessed the facilities. To gain this imperfect idea of the great city we had walked many miles at a brisk pact, and the sun had set behind the ruined arch on the hill as we pushed our boat from the sands of the cotton, and returned to the Gettysburg.

THE COLORADO BONANZA. The question is often asked, Is the mineral wealth of Leadville really as great as had been claimed, or are the stories told about it wild and exaggerated !? After a careful examination of the district feel justified in saying that the silver depeslt is so extraordinary and the ground is so easily worked that the value of the diggings can hardly be exaggerated. Certain mines per haps, have been forced up to price beyond their actual worth, or are talked about in a general way as capable of producing untold millions. This, of course, is wrong. 1 feel safe in saying that there is no mine in the camp, occupying only a single claim, which ought to sell for $1 1000, ,000. There are cer- tain mines, it is true, which include two, three or more claims, and are therefore valu- able in proportion to the territory they occupy. The Little Pittsburgh is consolidation of four separate claims. and the Iron covers six consecutive claims of ten acres each. The majority of the paying mines, however, are on single locations. Mines, being merchant able property, are generally in the market and can be bought at reasonable figures. A frst-class one in this camp can usuall be pur- chased for $150 000 Many are bonded as soon as ore is struck in them. In fact, the common method of disposing of the Leadville mines is by bonding them to eastern or western capital ists
 It would, perhaps, be proper to define the word 'bonding" for the benefit of those read CTS who have never dabbled in mining stocks Suppose A and B to be the original prespec- tors or discoverers of a mine. They have sunk their shaft with their own efforts, and have found mineral. By working with their simple machinery and putting in their own time and labor they may succeed in taking out enough ore to pay their expenses and to gradu- ally branch out and increase their facilities. But it is necessarily slow work for them, and, not being ambitious or far-seeing men, they were willing to sell out the mine to capitalists

From the Rondout "Freeman.",

A CLEAR lNFRRENCE.-It is too true that
 most of the patented medical preparations | thrown on the market emanate from men who can lay no just claim to professional educa- | tiOn, and who are, consequently, totally un- | qualified to originate really valuable prepara- tion. But we have the pleasure of stating that we know of one exception, at least, to this | rule. We refer to Dr. Kennedy of RondOut, N. Y, the discoverer and proprietor of the
 popular medicine entitled the Favorite Reme- dy. He is not stranger in this region of the country but a regular and favorably known physician and surgeon of ROndout, where he
 has practiced his profession for eight years
 with degree of success which has surprised
 not only the general community. but also other
 members of the medical fraternity. Dr. Ken nedy is a graduate of the CollegeOf Physicians
 and Surgeons of the city of New York, and
 was for three years a surgeon in the United
 States army during our late war. He has also
 been member for several years of the Ulster | County Medical Society. AS a surgeon he has no superior in the State-being siugularly | bold, skillful and unprecedentedly successful | in his operations Is it not fair inference. we | ask, that when surgeon, who has operated in | so many vital cases and never lost one oftheuI assures the people that the Fayorite Remedy puri6es the blood thereby curing Scrofula and ! all Scrofulous Affections, Billious Disorders,
 Kidney Complaints, Constipation of the Bow
 els we'll as all that large class of ,i1s pec,l-
 liar to women-that they simply take'hi:n at
 hls word and are cured according to promise :?
 In fact the Doctor himself does not hesitate to
 admit that part of his success in surgery is due
 to the use of the Favorite Remedy in the after
 treatment of the patient, which preUented the
 return of the abnormal formations removed by
 the knife by giving tone and strength to the system of his patients which had become de-
 bilitated and weakened by disease.
 In conclusion, we hope that no one who may be suffering from any of the diseases for which the Favorite Remedy is recommended will
 hesitate moment to secure bottle and test
 the truth of what we herein allege. We
 are willing to pledge our veracity for it that
 none will be disappointed or deceived.
 t8-Dr. Kennedys Favorite Remedy is now
 for sale by all our druggists at one dollar l bottle. 2-4w Pete, of Memphis, was great exhorter in
 camp meeting, and always concluded his ex-
 hortatOn by saying that whenever the Lord called for him he was ready to go. So darkey 1 Sam, to prove Pete's sincerity, called one
 night and knocked at Pete's door. "Who
 dat p shouted Pete. ''The Lord" responded
 sam. ''What de Lord wantY' asked Pete. | ''Come for Pete" answered Sam. "Oh !" re turned Pete, ''dat darkey moved from Mem phis nigh on tree year ago"

that I sfterward bought % cent bot

The dose is SO small (only five drops
every two hours when headache is

The Hiram correspondent of the
DEMOCRATIC PRESS, Ravenns, sends
the following ID that paper: z L;'.
Regarding the intelligence of Sd-
ters, another idea occurs. The town
of Garrettsyille gives about l40 major
ity for the Republicans. l give few
specimens of Republican advertising
in that place: "Go to for the
best BARGINs in clhoths." "Go to -
hardware store for IRN and MALES"
For the best TEA % go to -----
store" "For the best bargains in
drugs and oILEs go to - Drug
Store"
The facts regarding the above are
these: Some two or three years ago
an illiterate tramp came to Gsrretts-
yille and solicited the job of doing
come "fence advertising" on the fences
of the principal streets leading to the
village. A few of our merchants-ir-
of party-employed him,
and the man, who was neither an ar
tist nor q scholar, disfgured the fences
with the above quotations, which can
not be attributed to Garrettsville busi-
ness men, Grant nor John Sherman.

Mr.. Frank Proctor of this township

from an Indian said to have participate
ed in the Minnesota massacre in 1862.
The implement consists of an elk horn
handle about foot in length, with q
buckskin loop in the small end for at
taching it to the wrist, while the lash
is composed of two pieces of buffalo
hide, not braided, but with openings
in each through which the ends have
been drawn alternately, terminating in
two thongs several inches in length.
This is attached to the larger end by
being put into the socket and fastened
with a wooden pin passing through
the horn. If the information received
