Warrington Placer Mining in 'sI.

Not since the rush to Boise basin and
the stampede to the upper Columbia In
the early eos has there been such sc-
tiviiy in the placer. Hundreds Of old
diggings, mined super6cially IN he few
erich days Of 30 years ago. and sbsn-
doned because of hope OF better things
and the excessive price Of supplies and
provisions, are being reclaimed and
worked with profit. A great deal OF
virgin ground is also being staked out
and developed, and in many places i'm
proved appliances and machinery return
profits where primitive methods failed.
The extraordinary high water also makes

ground hitherto beyond reach

ment. Their finds giving no immediate
returns great deal Of costly energy has
been expended with no compensating re-
turns. The movement to the plscers re.
verses this procedure. Instead Of going
out in the spring with several hundred
dollars and returning In the fall with
nothing. the prospectors nov go out with
Q few dollars and return with several
hundreds Of thousands. Some Of them
will make nothing better than wages,
but when several thousand men put In

Bright Spring Days.

The spring should be pre-eminently &
season Of contentment, happiness and
hope. In these bright and pleasant
months the country should enjoy its
highest degree of tranquility and pros.
perity. But spring, it is we'll known, is
often period of discomfort and distur-
bance in the physical system. Impor-
tant organs of the body become torpid
or irregular in their action, and the fact
is instantly reflected in the mental con-
dition Of the individual. A disordered
liver means disordered nerves and dull
and unsteady brain. Anything which
will bring the physical system into har-
mony with budding Nature confers an
enormous benefit upon the nation, be-
sides the mere allaying of physical dis
comfort. Hoods Sarsaparilla does this,
as thousands OF grateful and happy men
and women can testify, and increased
use of this sta dard spring medicine is
of more real practical importancein pro-
noting health and quiet in the business
world than reams of abstract theorizing
