Great Newspaper.

Without a single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer /;
or a more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John y. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
It's circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour.
mails failing 10 arrest its onward march
and high appreciation Of the public
for IFS true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
Of the campaign year was offered at
50 cents . year, and its circulation
increased by the addition Of over
200, ooo new subscribers; the mos,
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret Of such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers
The Enquirer has no opinions TO force
upon ITS patrons, il simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. by
maintaining the price Of the paper.
moro news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class Of business
Interests catered to, which a cheaper
Journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer BY the public at large, makes
It incumbent upon the management,

Gentlemen-Some five years ago
my wife, Mrs. Charles H. Hall, now
IS years Of age, was taken with
dropsy and heart trouble, growing
worse from month to month. Two
years ago she was so sick that she
was compelled to stop work of every
kind. The best physicians in this
city we're secured, but she grew worse
so rapidly, and her heart go bad. that
year ago they said nothing more
could be done for her, Is death was
liable at any time.
At this time she measured 10 feet
around the waist, and weighed over
800 pounds. Owing to her heart
trouble, the doctors would not tap
her. only to keep her from bursting.
These operations did no good ~ they
failed to get . drop Of water from
her. claiming that it was in sacks all
over her. and they couldn't reach it
For four months she could neither
lie down or walk. The Iongeet sleep
she had during that time was 25
minutes. Tie smallest cracker
would distress her SO that she could
hardly breathe, yet she dare not take
stimulants. Her suffering was 90
terrible that che prayed day and
r'oht for death to relieve her from
he. ~iseries.
Her kidneys did not act more than
one gill 10 4s hours. aud then thick
with brick dust. Her bowels could

Among tho books Of a comparatively
recent date, il the seventeenth century
can be described as such. is, rs the FL.
zevir collector well knows, the famous
''Patissier Francois, a small duodecimo
printed by Louys and Daniel Elzevir at
Amsterdam in 1855. A faulty and poor
reimpressjon of work of little value
issued in Paris two years previously,
this book has become the most sought
after Of all he Eizevir works, Just be-
cause it is wrongly thought to be the
scarcest. 1t has fetched prices reaching
in France as high as 1900 francs. The
reason for the supposed rarity is Of
course that, instead Of being placed on
its first appearance on the shelves of the
curious or the studious, the little vol.

the Central Pacific Railroad, in the
T gan range of mountains, near the
',rn of Ely, the county seat.
The mines of this district we're,
some Of them, located as early as
1909, about the time of the discov1
cry of the celebrated White Fine
mining district. They were at first
believed to be silver-lead mines and
we're worked for that kind Of min
sral. A smelling furnace was erect
ed for the purpose of working the
oses. and consid cradle of it was re-
dueed in that wav, but ct that early
day smelling had not got TO that de-
gree OF perfection that it has since
attained. and this process was aban-
doned.
From the surface indications and
the distinct character OF ore found in
this district it is the Judgment of many
that there arc tive ore veins that are
separated by Robinson canyon. The
vein on the 4orCh side of the canyon
contains ore that is valuable largely
In silver, lead and very little gold,
while the vein on the south side OF
ahe canyon contains ore that is valua-
BILE largely In gold and very little
lead and silver. This Is net the case
In each Instance as the mines shat are
situated next to the canyon ON the
north side are, some of them, very
Aa.ilar to those on the south side OF
the canyon This is especially true
OF the mines located east OF The Great
Western, while those lying farther to
che north and higher on the mountain
are of the silver-lead character Il
may be that the gold vein, or the vein
ON the south side of the canyon is
separated, and forms spur, or at
ahls point, becomes wider aid eXtends
further to the north and beyond the
canyon.
Before proceeding further. in this
description it will be well to state that
che ore zone passes through the dis
trict In q north westerly and south
easteriy direction and Robinson can
ron cuts through the district in
south sasterly course near the middle
Of tbs ore zone.
= Returning again to the work done
In tho early days of the district, while
ahsy were prospecting chiefly for sill
YER and lead it was discovered that
che lead bullion. carried a large
amsunt OF gold. Upon investigation
as was found that the
AULTMAN MINK
Was furnishing the greater portion of
enls valuable metal. The ore Of this
Mine was Of such character that it
