To the Editor: SIR-As my name and face
have appeared in your paper and the pub
lie prints lately, and as many of my profess
sional brethren arc wondering al it, l feel
it only Just that should make an explana-
ton The statement published over my
name was made ten years ago, after long
and mature investigation, and | have never
changed my mind as to the facts then
stated. At that time | said, rs physician,
that believed Warner Safe Cure was the
best of all known preparations for the
troubles il was advocated to cure, and / say
so still. know it is considered the proper
thing for the medical profession TO decry
proprietary and other advertised articles
but why should they do so? As the late DR..
J. G. Holland, writing over his own name
in Scribners Monthly, said:
1T is Il fact that many of the best proprl-
etary medicines Of the day are more sue
cessful than many physicians, and most of
them were first discovered or used in actual
medical practice; when, however. any per-
son knowing their virtue aud foreseeing
their popularity secures and advertises
them. in the opinion OF the bigoted all vir-
tue went out of them"
Dr. Holland was an educated physi ian,
an unprejudced observer, aud he spoke
from broad and unusual experience. Pro
prietary medicines should not be decrieu.
The evidences of their value are over

THE BIG BONANZA MINE.
A Smoking Hole In the Ground Which
Yielded Mackay S15O.OOO, 900.

Yielded Mackay S15O.OO0,OOO.
l was strolling with Maclxay some
years ago in Virginia City, when we
looked down smoking cavity in the
ground that was soon lost in the dark
ness, and at the mouth of which a wind
lass was slowly grinding. ''Out of that
hole" he said, II took S150,O00.00O in
bullion" This was one of the famous
Bonanza mines, whose history all men
know The Big Bonanza, as it was
called. and rs Maekay described it to me
at tie time, was a kidney" or ''pocE-
ct of crude ore about as high as the
steeple of Trinity and in area as large
as the city hall park of New York.
This ore, shoveled out and reduced,
gave the stupendous yield to which Mr..
Mackay referred, and was the founda-
ton of the Bonanza fortunes. AssOci-
ated with him we're three other gentle
men, whose names were to win a world
wide mining fame-James u. Fair,
afterwards senator from Nevada. whose
skill as n mining expert had attracted
the attention of Mackay, William
O'Brien and james c. Flood. OBrien
and Flood had come to California as
friends in the Argonaut days, and had
like other men taken their humble parts
| in the creation of the Pacific states In
| those times men who were to be major
generals in the army drove drays for a
living. Others who We're to become
luminous in craftsmanship and juris-
prudence joyfully mended their own
| trousers and washed their own
linen. They were partners" term
which Bret Harte has pathetically ex-
| planned in one of his exquisite stories.
Partners that is to say, friends, with
| a friendship such as we who live outside
| of the atmosphere of adventure which
embodied the Argonaut days cannot un-
derstand. and which would be but
vaguely explained if we compared it to
| the love of man and woman.
BILLY was my partner once, as Mr..
Flood said to me one day in MenlO,
while we were looking at the portrait
of O'Brien; Billy was my partner once.
He is Iny partner now, will be my part
ner forever'-a speech which made Il
deep impression, coming as it did from
the lips of one of the most reSolute,
self-restrained, and undemonstrative
of men. Flood was the financial repre-
sentative and ally of the two young
miners who were at work on the Bo-
nanza; O'Brien. the partner in the
firm, because Flood could have no in
terest he did not share, OBrien passed
away in Bonanza time-Flood not many
months since in Germany. He was a
brave, Independent. reserved. conscien-
tious man, especially charming and true
in the higher relations of life-no bet
ter citizen, no truer friend-''in all that
goes toward the true development OF
manhood. the best man L have ever
known" as Macllay said to me when
the hour of irrevocable silence had fat
len. ~ know only one man in the
world that can break me, and that is
Mackay- This Flood said to me and
note it as showing the strong links
which in those days bound the Bonanza
firm and gave it strength and conf
dence which were the basis OF its power.
