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, cs.
pecially is this the case 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 Il remedy within the reach OF all.
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Dlar-
rhpa Remedy has cured thousands OF
cases, that We're considered hopeless, it
has cured them after physicians have
failed to relieve, it has cured them after
other medicines had been tried without
benefit, it has even cured them after
they had become unconcious. 1t can
always be depended upon, and should
be kept at hand, by every mother If
small children. When children are
tecthing, the diarrhna can not be check
ed permanently, as the same cause that
produced ii will bring it on again, but
it can and should be controlled by
giving Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhma Remedy, rs the case may
require. Then when the child IS
through teething, the diarrhpa may be
etfcctually checked. This remedy has
been the sole reliance of thousands OF
mothers throughout the west for over
fifteen years, and its cures have shown
1t to be the best and most reliable rem
cdy ever produced for the purposes.

children like it. 1t is put up in 20 cent,

My child, seven months old, was taken
sick with summer complaint. | called
on our family physician and procured

We feel satisfied that Chamberlain's
Coic, Cholera and Diarrhua Remedy
- the best medicine we handle for all

it IA thorough test. A member of our

Profitable Enterprise.

Too long and too generally the inn
preston has prevailed that loss was a
shadow that like a ~vulture followed the
pathway Of mining enterprise. The
untruth that 1.-TWO dollars have been put
INTO the mines for every one taken out
has almost crystalized into a croaking
proverb, Notwithstanding the fact that
the metallic currency of the world came
from the mines, and is largely absorbed
in other industries while the gold and
silver mines of this country are pro-
ducing over eighty-six million dollars
annually. If it be true that this product
of the past year cost S172,000,000, then
mining must be admitted to be an un-
profitable business. The absurdity of
the charge, however, is sufficient to
prove its falsity While it is true that a
great amount of money has been paid
that brought no return, that the record
of losses charged to the account Of min
ing, is appalling in its magnitude, il is
nevertheless true that the mining indus
try can show larger and more reliable
returns for the money invested in it
than any other recognized business that
can be named. 1t must be understood
that money paid for stock certificates
offered by strangers, based upon location
stakes and an assay certificate, is not
money put into a mine nor into mining.
1t bears no more resemblance to mining
than wheat deals on the Board Of Trade
do to farming. Blind purchases Of in
terest in mining claims, without ex-
animation of the character of the man
agement or the ore, cannot upon any
reasonable basis be recognized as min
ing, rs no one would claim that an
unconsidered investment in any direc-
ton was business. A thorough inverti-
cation of the available facts shows
conclusively that a large majority of the
business men ofthis country have almost
universally found legitimate mining
investment profitable, when made upon
business principles, as they would make
any other investment. AS a matter of
fact a majority of tEe heaviest capitalists
and millionaires of the nation owe their
vast accumulations of wealth to judici-
Gus mining Investment, and it would be
difficult to find in any ofthe larger cities,
east or west, a prominent and leading
business mar who is not largely and
protitably interested in mining. These
facts are well established and so gener-
ally prevalent that now, in this stage OF
mining history, an acknowledgment OF
repeated or serious loss and failure is
such a reflection upon business ability
and good judgment, that a mar may
well hesitate before he condemns him
self by such admission.-Mining Re-

SURVEYOR Taylor, Declines.

Gov. Church must have experienced
no small degree of vexation and chagrin
upon the receipt of the following caustic
letter from Mars Taylor a few days
since:
Sir While fully mindful of the fiat
tering recognition shown me BY the
convention of Saturday, over which you
presided, In my election with others as
a delegate to represent the county of
Beadle in the approaching territorial
convention at WATERFOWL, such election
having been comprised in my absence
and contrary to my previous warning, !
am impelled to take this occasion to
decline the appointment. The execu-
tive order of July IL. 1856, transmitted
to me through the honorable secretary
of the interior, is a proper instruction
from an official superior, and until my
commission is surrendered its faithful
performance is guaranteed. The order
was issued for a just, sincere and useful
purpose by the honered head of the
national government. whose every act
and ~admonition have been guided by a
single and patriotic desire for the public
welfare and for the common advantage
and political tranquility. and no form of
duty or seeming eXigency contemplates
its violation. | am in the peoples
service, and they, not myself, shall rule.
| desire in this connection to further
say that | do not agree with the resolu-
ton of your convention endorsing, with
ampler fulsomeness than fact, the
present governmental administration Of
this territory and object to wearing the
craven badge of appearing SO to do.
disavow concurrence in such resolution
and decline the election of delegate.
Very respectfully,
MARIs TAYLOR.

Low Grade n

A good many mining investors,
wearied with disappointment in the
chase for wealth, have declared with
bitter emphasis that they would never
put a dollar in a mine that ASSAYS or is
said to assay very high. So many OF
these have proved failures that there
has been, during the last decade, a
revulsion of opinion in favor of low
grade quartz properties instead of rich
ones. That the feeling is a sensible one
is easily demonstrated by showing the
larger percentage of successes in work
ing the large, low-grcde properties than
in any other kind of mining. The best
paying and most permanent gold mines
in America are properties like the
Homestake in the Black Hills, which
have divided upwards of four millions
among stockholders; the Treadwell in
Alaska, which is said to be paying $1,000
per day profit; and the Plymouth Con-
solidated in California, whose net in
come has been almost as much as the
Homestake's. All these, and many
more Of the most successful gold mines
in the world, work no ore producing
more than SO per ton. 1t might, were
there not notable exceptions, be deemed
almost a rule that paying and perma-
nent gold quartz mines have no rich
rock. -Oregonian.

be, until changed by act Of congress or
an act Of the territorial legislature, the
same as though said act had not been
passed
The approval Of the president is o.
alone required to put this act in oper-
alton, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that this will be promptly given.
The interests Of the territories will GER
tainly be promoted by this act allowing
the investment Of foreign capital in the
development Of our mineral resources,
and it can bring no possible danger to
the state, such as we believe might fol-
low the alien ownership Of large tracts
of agricultural land. We hope that
foreign capital will now seek more freely
than ever the profitable investments our
unrivaled mineral riches offer TO those
who combine prudence and honesty
with knowledge in investing. There is
no other country that offers such rich
property and such security for invest
ment as is offered in our mineral dis
tricts, both east and west, under the laws
Of the United States. And if the floating
Of wildcats and dishonest enterprises
could be prevented, the profits on
legitimate, prudently made mining in
vestments here would quickly bring to
us vast sums Of money from foreign
lands. 1t is the disappointment which
follows the investment of millions OF
dollars in worthless property (the mil
lions going for the most part into the
pockets Of dishonest promoters and not
into the development of the mines) that
discourage the investment Of capital in
legitimate enterprises and brings injury
and discredit on whole states and terri
tories.-N. Y. Engineering and Mining
