Makes the lives of many people miser- able, and often leads to self-destruc- ton. We know of no remedy for dyspepsia more successful than Hoods Sarsaparilla. It acts gently, yet surely and efficiently, tones the stomach and other organs, removes the faint feeling, creates good appe- tite, cures headache, and refreshes the burdened mind.

Arizona Copper Company Notes.

Two furnaces are kept constantly running by this company, and it is re- ported that they are now producing more copper and at less cost than al any time in the history of the corpo- ration. The management of the diff ferent departments ot the concern is HOW in most capable hands, to which fact may be attributed the very satis- factory manner in which operations are carried on.
 Three of the four furnaces. have now been fitted up with large brick stacks. The remaining one will be similarly arranged. Superintendent of Shelters Colquhoun reports that the large chimneys are a great i'm provement over the old iron ones, the furnaces smelting much larger pro- portion of their own flue dust. The amount that now escapes is hardly
 
 appreciable.
 The large amount of f1ue dust which has accumulated and been piled up near the smelters-in. quantity about 1000 tons-is being smelted at the rate of thirteen tons daily. This dust runs from 8 1-2 to 12 per cent copper.
 The extremely muddy condition o1 the water has caused some annoyance at the works, aud necessitated the shutting down of the concentrators yesterday pending cleaning up and washing out. The tanks were found to have been almost completely filled up with mud. The concentratorS started up again this morning.
 The company's Detroit mine wa: compelled to shut down for the same reason. but it was thought that the water would be sufficiently settled fol the hoisting engine to resume work to-day or tomorrow.
 It is said that Superintendent o1 Mines Ferrie has under consideration the advisability of putting in hoist ing engine at the Longfellow for tho purpose of raising the concentrates the work having reached such deptf that the horse whim is entirely toe slow.
 The mines of the company being worked are reported to be looking well, and generally there is nothing in the outlook of a discouraging na ture, but, on the contrary, the indica tions point to very successful year for the A. c. Co.,, with probably al increased output over 1888.
