Strange beginning of Friendship

The victim, who nearly tainted, bore

half century later, when showing his

Good Health

And a good appetite go hand in hand.
With the loss Of appetite the system
cannot long sustain itself. Thus the
Notifications of good health are brok-
en- down and the system is liable to
attack of disease. L. is in such cases
that the medicinal powers Of Hoods
Sarsaparillaare clearly shown. Thou
sands who have taken Hoods Sarsa-
parilla testify to its great merits as a
purifier of the blood, its powers 10 re-
store and sharpen the appetite and
promote healthy action of the diges-
tive organs. Thus it is, not what we
say but what Hoods Sarsaparilla does
that tells the story and constitutes
the strongest recommendation that
can be urged for any medicine, Why
not take HoOf's Sarsaparilla now?

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There Is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-

no such word as TAIL, and in spite OF the

that money had been secured from the

GENERAL. FiSHBACK'S REPORT.
He Writes to His Son Of the Grand En-
Campment District.

The following letter is self-explana.
tory:
Sierra Madra Mountain, Gold Camp,
Dec. IL, 1S96.-Hon. Charles F. Fish
back. Seattle, Wash. Dear son: l ar
rived here on the 5th inst, after three
and one-half days travel in an open
wagon. | came in company with c. F.
mines in this wonderful mining camp.
His company has located about 10 miles
in length of placer ground, up and down
Cow creek, and over 100 lode claims
on the northeast foothills of the Sierra
Madre mountains near the source of
the Grand Encampment creek and Cow
creek. in the County of Carbon and
State of Wyoming.
These claims have all been discovered
and located since the month of Septem-
Der last, and there are now about $50
men at work in the camps, who will
probably work here all winter, on the
gold and copper leads. A great many
of the men are employed by English
capitalists: and have made some Won
derful discoveries in gold, very often
running $500. 1000. 81 see, and in the
Golden Eagle lode it is claimed on good
600 to the ton, at a depth of not over
20 feet from the surface; and they have
found in the Stetson lode, at a depth OF
not over IS feet below the surface, gold
quartz that runs over $l5,0 900 to the ton.
This is "A recent strike on the extension
of the Yellow Jacket lode owned by Mr..
c.. +. Wray, Sclutelger L. Co, and is
less than 500 feet from it. The mineral
belt runs north of west and south OF
east, and the lead follows the general
course of the belt, the formation is
slate, granite and gneiss. A greater de-
velopment of states than any Other
character of rocks, great dykes of
luartzite and trachyte are i~nterspersed
throughout the entire zone, showing
the formation to be Of the jurassic, and
yet in places carboniferous and creta-
ceous representatives are also present,
while to the east and thanking the val
ley of the Platte great masses of erup-
tives and basalt appear, showing the
upheaval of the Sierra Madre t. have
occurred before the middle c%retaceous
time. The veins or lodes are from two
to 40 feet in width on Cow creek and
can be readily traced for miles. They
are mostly of a contact nature, being a
trachyte and talcose slate, carrying a
heavy clay gouge. With a dip to the
mountain, the ore shutes dip invari-
ably to the north. The Mammoth
Consolidated and Yellow Jacket lodes
are contact veins and are large, strong
veins, carrying free gold as well as an
auriferous, arseno pyrite. The lodes
run northwest and southeast and cut
the deep dip of the states at a high
angle. The NJ. b. and G. S. and l.. G.
and C. b. lodes are large, strong con-
Iacl 'eiHs carrying Tree sIu. Inc II. +.
lode Is also a large contact vein carry
ing free gold and chalco pyrite. The
Bunker is a large free milling lead 90
feet in width. Deep canons u these
veins, from 400 to 1.500 feet in depth,
and all show as well at the bottom of
the canon as at the top of the noun
tain The ore. seems to increase in guam
tity as depth is obtained. Cow creek
contains 5000 cubic inches of water,
with a fall of 300 feet TO the mile.
There is plenty of timber. Very truly
yours, w. H. FISHBACK.
