The Bane of Hot Weather.

There is no time that is looked for
ward to by the mothers of small child
rem, with more mortal dread, than the
hot weather of the summer months, es-
pecially is this the ease when their
children are teethlng. The number OF
children that are carried away annually
by bowel complaint, in its various
forms is prodigious. Yet almost every
case could be cured by proper care and
treatment. During the past fifteen
years, it has been abundantly proven,
that the worst cases could be cured and
by a remedy within the reach OF all.
Chambcrlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhna Remedy has cured thousands of
cases, that were considered hopeless, it
has cured them after physicians have
failed TO relieve, il has cured them after
other medicines had been tried without
benefit, ii has even cured them after
they had become Unconscious. 1t Il
always be depended upon, and should
be kept ut hand, by every mother OF
small children. When children are
teething, the diarrhna can not be check
ed permanently, as the same cause that
produced it will bring it on again, but
it can and should be controlled by
giving Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhna Remedy, as the case may
require. Then when the child is
through tcething, the diarrhpa may be
etlectually checked. This remedy has
been the sole reliance Of thousands of
mothers throughout the west for over
fifteen years. and its cures have shown
it to be the best and most reliable rem
cdy ever produced for the rposes
When reduced with cold water and
swectened, it is pleasant to take. Many
children like il. Ii is put up in % cent,

Wyoming Oils,

This office is in receipt Of advance
sheets of Prof G.. +. Bailey's pamphlet
on Wyoming oils. with an accompany
ing map showing the location of the
various districts. Referring to the tests
thus far made, the Professor says:
Every test made so far has shown a
heavy oil near the surface, and lighter
oil below but none of these wells are
deep enough to test the second, third OF
fourth sands of the lower part Of the
Dakota group.
Speaking of the Park Spring district
he says:
The conditions favorable to the exist.
ence of large reservoirs of oil are all
found in this district. Home companies
of limited means have proved the
existence Of oil in the upper portion OF
the Colorado group. The region is easy
of access, and centrally located on the
main lines of travel. The rocks below
the depth, reached by the present
shallow wells, is known to be oil bear
ing elsewhere in the territory, and offer,
at least, four thick sands for develop
ment. The oil is here and of excellent
quality. If here at all, why not in guam
tity?
This district should be tested down to
the bottom Of the Java Triassic group.
AS boring is the only proper method for
prospecting, provision should be made
for going down, if necessary, two thou
sand five hundred feet.

From Red Canyon.

NJ. l.. Kenable and cred" Sowash
came in from the Red Canyon coal fields
Tuesday evening. Mr.. Kenable informs
the Star that development work on the
mines is progressing very satisfactorily.
The tunnel has been driven about fifty
feet into the bank at which point the
vein has an average thickness of five
feet and the quality is first-class. The
boys are pleased with the prospect and
think they have a bonanza in their coal
lands at that point, and it may be said
that the indications seem to warrant
that belief. This is nb longer simply a
prospect but a s~ure-enough coal mine in
every sense Of the word, with a five foot
vein Of solid bituminous coal underlying
the entire country and easily accessible.
The mine is now in q condition to be
profitably worked and the owners are
only awaiting the completion of a rail
road to that point when the product of
the mines will be placed upon the market.
MIR. kenable stated that several loca
tons of oil lands have been made in the
canyons by parties who will sink ex-
perimental wells at once. 1t is said that
there is every indication of an album
dance Of oil in that region. A corps of
b. u M. surveyors are now at work
making the final survey up Red Canyon
and driving the grade stakes, which
would seem to indicate the early COM
pletion of the road to that point. The
surveyors were very reticent regarding
the intentions Of their and
their objective destination. 1t is hardly
probably, however, that permanent
grade stakes would be set if there were
not the intention of the TO
build into that country during the
present year, as many of the stakes
would be destroyed before another sea-
son, necessitatiug q new survey in MANY
places, and mourning much additional
expense Hot Springs Star.

The following from the st. Paul
Pioneer Press will be dull reading for
over-confident residents of the towns
expecting an early boom, as a result of
the opening of the Sioux reservation:
Chamberlain and Rapid City are look
ing for a boom az well az Pierre, as the
result of the opening Of the Sioux
reservation. Like some other places in
Dakota they must not bank too much on
vacant land subject TO settlement. Their
growth rests upon the actual develop
ment of the country. and with that they
can expect much. Before it happens
great expectations are apt to be de-
feated.

The Chicago Mining Review of the
18th inst. contains another letter from
S. G. II. (who ever that may be- of this
place, devoted to a description of the
various tin locations tributary to this
city. The letter is quite lengthy, filling
nearly four of the wide columns of that
journal, and will serve to impress the
public mind with the magnitude Of the
tin resources of this region. Among
other claims referred to at length, we
note the New Zealand, st. Joseph, Nc
kee, New York, Tin Queen, st. Elmo,
First Find, Feay, Meyers, Lincoln, Odds,
Pitcher, Dickson, McFaddcn, Rose, Rey-

familiar with the various tin districts in
this locality, as shown by his faithful
descriptions Of the leading locations
and that ne is a confirmed believer in
the actual existence of tin in paying
quantities in this region, is clearly shown
by the high degree of enthusiasm mani
tested in such descriptions.

A Huron special to tho Sioux City
Journal says: "The opening of the
great Sioux reservation will be no special
advantage to the people at large for
several years. 1t will require the re-
mainder of this year to secure the nee
essary number Of signatures by the
Indians. All of 1889 will be required to
survey it most of 1890 will be used up
in having these surveys put through the
United States land office. Not until the
end of that year can settlers occupy the
land, and then only homesteaders can
take it. They must live on it four years
and then pay 80 cents an acre for it."
