THE NARROW GAUGE CIRCUIT.
1t Has Yielded About $l25,OOO During
the Past Three Months.

Superintendent Wilson, of the Mar
row Gauge-Bannack group of mines,
up Narrow Gauge gulch, Deer Creek,
was in town to-day, expecting returns
from his last shipment of ore to Salt
Lake. During the past three months
the mines in charge Of Superintend-
ent Wilson have yielded an average
of 81 tons per day, of ore that will
probably yield an average of $500
per ton, or total of about $4,000.
This has been done not only without
straining the mines, but without
scarcely any stopping, much of it be-
ing the concentrates of second class
ore which accumulated on the dump
before the jigs were put in. Next
year these mines ought to be good
for at least half a million dollars
worth Of ore. The mines are p,inci.
pally owned by J. V. Farwell, of Chi
caUO.

Purify the Blood Now!

1t is not claimed that BROWNS
SARSAPARILLA and Dandelion,
with lodide of Potassium, will cure
every disease, but it has been proven
in a thousand cases that no other rem
edy can compare with it in curing
Scrofula, Tumors, Kidney Diseases
Ulcers, rheumatism, Cancers, Dys
popsia, Fever Sores, Syphiitic
Diseases, Boils, Constipation, Erysip-
elias, Sick Headaches, Salt Khcum.
Why is Browns Sarsaparilla best for
curing these diseases? Because it
purities the blood, corrects the inaction
of the Liver and Kidneys, and cures
constipation and dyspepsia by giving
tone to tie stomach so that all food is
readll v digested. Use only the best
medicines. DIR. Brock, Bellevue, a.

About Postage.

The friends of postage reduction
claim that the two cent stamp might
apply rather to the ounce than the
half ounce letter. The argument for
this Legislation is that it would be Il
great convenience to IA large class Of
correspondents who desire the change.
1t is stated by the Postmaster General
that little benefit would accrue if the
proposition were adopted. He finds
from investigation at the New York
and Philadelphia Postoilices, that 81
and half per cent. of the letters there
handled weigh less than half an
ounce.

The waterworks of the Alturas
Water Company are appr, aching com.

"A day or two later water will be

These works are being put in en-
tlrely by capital subscribed by resi-
dents of Haley. A couple of months

capital stock of $4,000, divided into
10000 shares of the par value of Fl

Something About Coal Oil.

The Standard Oil Company,o of Cleve-
land, Ohio and New York, have ap-
pointed 1sador Morris & Co., of
Haley, their sole agents for the
Wood River country. The Standard
Oil Company is the largest manufac-
turer Of Illuminating oils in the world,
consequently the cheapest seller. Re-
ject all statements by interested
dealers, and insist on having Pearl
Oil, always kept in stock by the com.
pany or its agents.
In offering to consumers our cele-
brated brand Of Pearl Oil, manufac.
tured in Cleveland, we recommend it
for the following reasons:
LIST. 1t is strictly pure and of East.
ern manufacture; packed in patent
fauce, cans, and it is HIGH TEST, non
explosive and absolutely safe.
I'd. 1t is clear, steady burner,
does not encrust the wick nor smoke
the chimney, and is free from unpleas.
ant odors while burning.
Sd. 1t is water white, and presents
a handsome appearance in addition to
its burning qualities.
4th. Being made by the larg.
est manufacturers Of illuminating
oils in the world, it is the result of a
wide experience, aud is sure to give
satisfaction.
CAuTIoN.-Beware of inferior oils
put up in secondhand cans of above
brand. If pure Pearl Oil is desired
be sure that you get the same packed
in new original cases and cans.

"Slippery JIM"

AS a legislator, Jim Fair is the big.
gest humbug that was ever seen in
Washington. His money alone se-
cured his election, and, like the ma
jorlty of men who have devoted the
better part of their lives to the acqui-
sitlon Of wealth, his head is empty of
everything but thoughts of dollars
and cents. "Slippery JIM" although
worth perhaps s50,C00,o0O, is a dis
grace to the Federal Senate. Such
slaves of avarice should never be sent
where brains are required. But Fair
combines viciousnoss with ignorance,
and instead of endeavoring to ascer-
tain his duties and how to perform
them, contents himself with the pas
time Of establishing Iiaisons with street
walkers - Stockton Mail.

 NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-The Rev. Charles Loyson, "Pere Hyacinthe," arrived to-day from Liverpool in the steamer Alaska. He was met at the wharf by Rev. Henry M. Field, editor of the New York Evangelist. and the greeting between them was very cordial There was no demonstration and no one but Mr. Field was present to welcome the distinguished polemic, which was in marked contrast with the elaborate reception extended to him on his former visit to this country soon after his rupture with the Catholic church. He seemed to feel the change keenly. To 8 reporter he said: T expected that my wife would meet me here, but Mir. Field informs me she is i'll in Washington.

 The Fat Woman BuF1ed-SceAes and In-
 cidents or she Funeral
 BALTIMORE, Oct. 28.-The funeral of Mrs. who died suddenly Friday, took place yester- day morning about 10 o'clock. An immense crowd blockaded the vicinity of her late boarding house, on the northeast corner of Jay and Fayette streets, as early as o'clock, although it wac well known that the funeral would not take place until len. The corpse lay upon bed in the back room Of the sec- ond floor. How to remove the remains from the bed to the enormous essket prepared for them was question not yet solved When everything was ready the undertaken pro- duced couple of boards, one eighteen inches wide by six feet long. and the other shaped like coffin lid. having long straps attached to the bottom. The long board, square in shape. was placed on top, and the cofin-shsped board with the straps was put underneath. The sheets upon which she had lain were wrapped around her, and after much effort the body was placed upon the boards and carried down stairs prspara- tory to putting her in the cssket The uni ted strength of dozen men was necessary to lift her from the bed and place her upon the boards, to which she was strapped. Then everybody took hold and the remains were carried by tortuous route to the spa cious lower hall where the immense casket stood, resting upon two undertaker'g stools. It was of black walnut, covered with black cloth, and, as stated yesterday, was feet long, fe0t inches deep and 8 feet wide, When the corpse was brought down into the hall, it was lifted up by pallbs&rsrs and care- fully placed in the casket. There were no handles to the casket, so that considerable difficulty was again experienced when it was carried ont and placed in tho undertaker's wagon by twelve attendants The procession through the city attracted many curiosity seekers, and large number followed 1t to Mount Olivet cemetery, where the intsrment took place, the Rev s. H. Pearee, of the Methodist church, conducting the services at the grave
