A Rich Strike of Silver.

The richest strike that has been made
in the Leadville mining district for
years has just been made in the Bohn

rison avenue, Leadville's main thor
oughfare. Last week it was deter
mined to sink this shaft, and diamond
drills were brought into use and went
down 312 feet and struck thick vein

which assays from 200 to 300 ounces OF
silver to the ton.

Mexicans Starving.

Advices from many points in the state
OF Coahuila and Durango, Mex, are
condensed into water scarce, crops poor,
and no money. A deputation of citi-
zens recently visited the City of Mexico
to induce the government to remove
the duty on American corn, but met
with no success. Many of the poorer
classes of Durango are destitute, and
their needs have converted them into
very dangerous characters.

of rich, pretty and educated girls
clipping with negroes, tramps and

girls are more or less hysterical, ner-
vous, very impulsive, unbalanced;
usually subject to headache, neuralgia,
sleeplessness, immoderate crying or
laughing. These show a weak ner-
vous system for which there is no
remedy equal to Restorative Nervine.

the Salton sea until it becomes a lake
of 800 feet in depth and $50 miles long
and finds its outlet through the bed Of

Southern Pacific engineers have ex-
amiued the river break with IA view to
finding some way TO turn the river
back into its old bed. They reported
that such could be done by piling, but
it would be too expensive for the COM
uany to undertake.
The cause of this break is explained
by the doctor in this manner: The
Colorado river flows as far as Il point a
few miles above Yuma directly south.
At Yuma it meets the Yuma river, and
turns 10 the west nearly at right
angles. There it strikes small noun
tain called Pilot Knob, and is changed
again back to the south course. Re-
Gently, instead of flowing at an acute
angle ut Pilot Knob. the river has been

force of the stream against the west
bank of the river, which soon washed
that bank away and formed the break
The break would not have occurred
had not the river left its bed near Pilot
Knob.
The people of Yuma. the doctor says,
are glad Of the change, and the new
sea will be benefit to the climate. as
well as provide them with means of
a new method of transportation, since
vessels could come into the sea from
the gulf of California.
