advertiser in newspapers, its aggregate out
lay annually has been comparatively small,
so that the steady and rapid increase in
sales to their present large proportions GER
tainly indicates that Piso's Cure for Con-
sumption possesses high merit as aremedy
for coughs, colds and throat and lung
troubles generally. The pleasant taste OF
the cure has doubtless contributed mater1-
ally to its popularity.
Growth in business has necessitated the
invention of numerous labor-saving ma
chimes. Notable among these are apparatus
for washing, filling, corking and sealing
bottles with which three men easily turn
out 1900 bottles an hour. In the advertis-

THE NINA RIGA MINE.
One of the Richest Ore Bodies
 Found.
Quartz That Runs One Hundred and Fifty Dollars Per Ton and
 Growing Richer.

From the Yuma Sentinel.
 The richest strike ever made at PIca- cho was that of Saturday, in the Nina Rica mine. Running across from the Goshen group nearly west. is a wide belt of bastard. barren, dirty looking quartz, among which, Ill years past g large amount of placer gold has been gathered up. Last week the miners at work opening up this mine, thought that they would run an open cut across this belt and see if by chance, there might be stringer or vein that carried gold. At the commencement of their work. they found that at a depth of 20 inches, the barren stuff changed to a rose quartz which prospected from $5 to $S per ton. They could only get no " and then color from tho top rock and even this, they thought came from the dirt and not from the ore. As the work proceeded they found little further on and deeper that the rose quartz carried from $15 to SIS per ton. When they had reached 20 feet in length with the cut they sunk shaft, which at the depth of five feet carried ore yielding from $15 to SIS per ton in free gold. At the depth of ten feet the ore prcspected from $35 to $50 per ton, all the time growing richer. From 17 to 20 feet the ore rose too, from $50 to $15O per ton, still growing richer as they gained in depth.
 The cut and shaft show the rich ore body to be 20 feet wide, with neither wall in sight and 20 feet deep with no signs of any bottom. The Nina Rica lies east of the Mars mine and south

 The c-oppings of the barren quartz. under which the ore lies. are more than 700 feet wide and show for nearly a mile in length and cross three or four other mines. Where they enter upon Mars ground they are fully 700 feet in width. They also cover portion of the Dulcenilla mine.
 The Nina Rica is one Of the mines tended to Denver parties, by J. M. Men divil and Allan J. Smith few weeks since.
 It could have been bought Jan. 1, for $25O. Now $l0O,000 would not touch it.
 It has always been mystery where so much placer gold could have come from as has been taken from the Mars, Venus, Dulcenilla, Nina Rica, Goshen and other mines adjoining, but the secret is now solved by the finding of this immense body of very rich ore, for there is no doubt in the minds of the miners familiar with the formation, but that this fine ore body now underlies the whole area of this peculiarly barren quartz on the surface.
 This find only adds another well earned laurel to the Picacho gold mines.

 SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5.-The holders of California bonds of all classes are alarmed at the recent decision of Judge Ross declaring the Wright irrigation law unconstitutional.
 Bankers believe that the decision, if it stands, will rot only invalidate out standing irrigation bonds, but that it will have like disastrous effect upon all sorts of securities of the same character. The most serious phase of the case is that it may nulIify millions of dollars worth of municipal bonds which have been issued by various cities of the state to cover the cost of municipal im- provements.
