There is little doubt that many per-
sons suffer for years with ailments
that could easily be cured by the use
of some simple remedy. The following
incident is an illustration of this fact:
My wife was troubled with a pain in
her side the greater part of the time
for three years, until cured by Chamber
lain's Pam Balm. 1t has, I think, per-
manently cured her. We also have
used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
whenever needed and believe 1t to be
the best in the world. P. NJ. Boston,

A trip through the Upper Hills the
first of the week proved very interest
ing and instructive to the junior
proprietor of the STAR, and his
cousin, Orv,lle N. Benedict,of Darling
ton, Wis. The outward trip was made
over the B. & M. route, which is noted
for its picturesque scenery. At Dead
wood we had the pleasure of visiting
the ryratic smelter and chlorination
works, and through the courtesy of
Editor Bonham, of the Pioneer, we
were recipients of special favors, which
were highly appreciated. Mr.. Bon
ham also accompanied us to the stamp
mills at Lead, and thus we we're given
insight into the three different pro-
cesses of reducing ore, the pyratic
smelter, the COLONIZATION works and the
stamp mills. We are also under ob.
legations to DR.. Carpenter, Supt. OF
the smelter, and to John P. Rothwell
Supt. Of the chlorination works for
favors shown. The pyratic smelter is q
new invention, the honor of the dis
coyery of which belongs to DIR. Carpen'
ter, and the success of which is already
assured. By this process not only
the gold but the silver and copper
are retained. The works will b.
speedily enlarged to a greater capacity
Another plant for the COLONIZATION
process is soon to be built also. Til,
