P. J. McDougal, who has been a.
the Fisher mine as foreman, came
in on snowshoes Sunday. He says
no work is now being done at the
mill on account of the water supply
giving out. He informs us that
Superintendent Eugene ANTI has
solved the problem of saving the
gold and has made good returns
from all ore crushed while the
water supply lasted. It will be
remembered work on this mine had
to be suspended on account of a
lack of knowledge Of how to save
the gold-there appearing to be
some base mineral in the ore.
Under Mr.. Antz's management the
Fisher promises TO turn out a large
quantity of gold next season.

upon the Chinese in America to
arm to the teeth, and prepare to
defend themselves against any vio-
lent and unlawful assault; and he
claims that in San Francisco they

The sale of Syrup of Figs is
simply immense. Everyone is TAX
.ing it, and admit that it is the best
medicine ever used. Children cry
for it on account of its pleasant
taste, and grown people who have
used it once never take anything
else. Unlike other remedies for
biliousness and constipation it
never loses its power to act, and it
always leaves the organs on which
it acts stronger than before. Besides
one feels. fresh and bright and
realizes that it is Natures own true
laxative. Geo. J. Lewis is agent
for Kctchum.
