situation to see if there is anything he
needs here.

Apples are coming in from the Ami

The political horizon is thickening,
there are rumors of innumerable dark
horses for the different offices and the
| chances are that we shall have a spirit

The Queen No. 1 of Kingston is pro-
ducing some fine sulphide ore. Leas-
ers on the Calamity Jane, U. s., Lady
Franklin and Caledonia are all getting
good ore. R. j. Hill is still sacking
silver ore on the Black Colt. There is
money in Kingston yet even If "silver's
down to CO."
Pete Crumrine, Gilbert Harris and
another party have leased the north
end of the Opportunity mine for a long
term. They have to sink a shaft to
make connections with the workings
and some dead work to perform, yet
they feel sanguine of their having a
good lease.
The Hornet mine at TERRA Blanca is
in bonanza. The %leasers, Messrs. Hois-
niger Bros, G. Cox and p. Anderson,
have out four or five tons Of high grade
ore. j. M. Webster and G. Myers paid
the mine a visit last week and each
brought back a nugget of pure horn
and sulphide silver combined that was
taken from The ore pile.
z. C. and John Silver, the former
from Mexico and Che latter from King
ston, were looking after mining inter-
ests in the HIllsboro district lately.
During Docs absence in Mexico his
claims were relocated n0twith landing
his compliance with the law. The par.
ties who located them supposing them
to be abandoned will be out their assess
ments.
The Eel Orc mine shipped sixteen
tons of ore to the Bonanza mill and
ground out nearly a pound and a half
of gold and two tons of concentrates.
This is the first shipment from a mine
that produced thousands of tons of ore
in the early mining boom Of Hillsboro
years ago, and with the exception of a
few small shipments by %leasers, has
been practically a non-producer for a
long time. The company leasing now
are making air connections which will
be completed in about a week when
the force will be augmented and pro-
duction resumed.

Huffman, who saw Rodgers and Powell
going along,h trail. He had frequent
ly forbidden Rodgers and others to 60
up into that part VI the range. although
the land is q part Of the United States
public domain, and on this occasion
he called to Rodgers to come back.
Rodgers turned back toward where
Il huffman stood, when Huffman began
abusing hum using the most filthy,
obscene and Yituperatiye language.
Rodgers tried to paelfy the apparently
demented man aud suggested that they
talk il over quietly. Huffman eoutin-
ued to abuse Rodgers while both walk
ed toward the house, Huffman while
walking along glanced stealihily at
Powell who was riding along while the
TWO principals in the tragedy walked.
Huffman apparently wanting to see If
Powell WAS ready or prepared for a
fracas. After taking in the situation
TO his satisfaction be made a sudden
motion to draw bus pistol but it stuck
through the ~scabbard In such manner
as to catch upon the sight Of the pistol
and retain ii in the seabbard. Rodgers
who had been watching Huffman
closely. at the first motion made by
Huffman gave him a push forward
turning him partly around so that his
back and side were presented, at the
anne time he drew his own six-shooter
and commenced firing rapidly. Five.
shots took effect, one III the back, two in
the side, n in the groin and one
through the head. Huffman was APP
parently dazed by the first shot aud
tried to grapple with Rodgers instead
Of using his pistol which he had sue
ceeded IN withdrawing from the scab-
bard and which fell close by him when
he dropped dead. The deceased is said
to have been a man of violent temper
and when in anger would brook no
counsel or interference; he had fire.

"Tom Holman is working ffty-one
men upon the GoldeEs slant mine. The
shaft is now 800 feet deep, but Levels
have not yet been driven at that depth.
The ore being extracted is taken from
the 200 and $50 levels. The slopes are
400 feet in length on each side Of the
shaft and the ore continues through
out the entire distance of 500 feet, be-
sides showing well at the side of each
level. A cleanup was made Mt the
Pacific mill last week with returns Of
1876 ounces in gold from 1893 tons Of ole,
besides which there were shipped
twenty-five tons of concentrates that
will average two ounces IN gold per
ton. bringing the average value of the
ore to about an ounce and a quarter Of
gold per ton. The Mammoth mill will
finish cleaning up the Golden Giant ore
this week, on a mill run Of 145 tons.
From indications the cleanup was
about 220 ounces, besides a tN enty-ive
ton lot of concentrates. The entire
cleanup from both mills was about 3s5
ounces OF gold from the plates, and
forty-fve to htty tons of Concentrates.

An Able Physician Explains the After
Effects of Grip. the Condition in
Witch 1t Leaves People, and the
Only Thing to Do.

1T is very slow proccss.''
The speaker was a prominent physician. Con-
tinuing, he said:
Il mean getting over the after effects of the
grip. Any one who has seen much of 1t as i
have easily understand it. The grip lasts for
long time, and it seems to take special hold
upon the system. II frequently runs into pneumo-
MIA sometimes leaves the hearing partially i'm
paired the throat with an irritating soreness and
the stomach with impaired digestion. 1t seems 10
take long time 10 the strength, the en-
ergy or the ambition after has had run of
the grip 'and frequently find neuralgia, rheuma-
tism and even worse things following 1t.
Now, what should any sensible man woman
do under these circumstances? The answer seems
hard. but is really easy. Simply help Nature to
get over the trouble-stmulatc the body and fac
ulties just Il little. This is what every good ply
stefan in the land advocates in order to drive grip
out of the system. II should he remembered, now
ever, that the stimulant must he pure. and that
nothing for this purpose is equal to good whiskey.
1t is unfortunate, however. that there is little
pure medicinal whiskey to be found, and, in fact,
IT can he truly said that there is but strictly
medicinal Whisky upon the market, and that is
Duly Pure Malt. 1t is not like ordinary whskey,
however much druggists and Grocers may say So.
1t has, III fact, properties possessed ny other,
and is beyond question Il stimulant which can
safely and effectually be taken prevent the grip
or drive away its most disastrous attcreffects."
