Tile hand Of time
deals lightly with a woman in
perfect health. But all func-
tional arrangements and dis
orders peculiar to women
leave their mark. You needn't
have them. DR.. Pierce's Fa~
vorite Prescription comes to
your rescue as no other medi-
cine can. 1t cures them. For
periodical pains, prolapsus and
other displacements, bearing
down sensations, and all "fe-
male complaints I" and weak
nesses, it is a positive remedy.
1t is a powerful, restorative
tonic and nervine, imparting
strength to the whole system
in general, and to the uterine
organs and appendages in par
ticular. 1t keeps years from
your face and figure-but adds
years to your life. It's guar
anteed to give satisfaction in
every case. If it doesn't,
your money is returned.

ATLANTA AND RocKY Ban.

Atlanta is one Of the richest as
well as most unfortunate OF all the
mining camps. The Tahoma, the
Atlanta and the Big Lode are only :
few of its valuable properties. No
mining camp could by possibility
be more favorably located. A branch

just above the village is ; hot spring.
Quartz creek and another small
stream strikes the river disgonaIly
and there is abundance of timber
still standing in the vicinity. For yeas
it has been reported that the Atlanta
and several other mines were Just
upon the point Of being sold, but
"hope deferred zmaketh the heart
sick, and Atlanta "never is but al
ways to be blessed" A superstitious
person might be led to believe the
town laboring under some heavy

Rocky Bar is not doing as we'll as
it should. A great deal of develop

rior gulch. The Henry Clay is be-
ing worked with a small force profit
ably, while some labor is being per-
formed on the Vishnu. The camp
has not dome as we'll during the past
year AS it should, its good mines con-
s;dered. 1t is bountfully supplied
with crushing apparatus, there being
more than hundred stamps avail
able. About four miles from Rocky
Bar there is 100000 mill erected
in the mountains to crush ore from
the Bonaparte lode. So far as known
the ore from the lode is rich. The
mill was completed, not pound of
ore was ever attempted to be crushed.
One man is employed to watch it,
and so it has been for the past eight
years. The owners are said to reside
in St. Louis aud engaged in the con-
temptible business of endeavoring to
freeze out the weaker stockholders.

He anticipated great sale of this

the sign and having plenty of fun
over it, he thought he had made a
hit, and went out to see what was the
occasion. He was surprised to learn
that his friend VIM. Scott Lee had

cents a pound" Wolfe invited the
