the pane, but leaving only hole as large

LA BELLE GOLD DISTRICT.
Interesting Budget Of News Item
from Prospective New Mexico
Cripple Creek,

The Boston Gold Mining company has
commenced work at the "Old Hamilton"
shaft.
J. W. Snyder is working on the Jim
Dandy in which he has fine vein. A
part Of the vein matter is jaspor.
More preparations are being made for
extensive work on the Bessemer group,
owned by Ferguson, Downey q Doney.
Oh. Brigham is keeping things NOV
ing In his part of the district. The Sun
rise group is showing up nicely and the
ore assays we'll.
FIN. Anderson will resume work again
on the Snowstorm in few days. The ore
taken to Denver from this claim gave
much higher returns than were expected.
Four of the boys at the Keystone tun-
mel were poisoned Friday by condensed
milk. They we're quite sick for several
DAYS, but are all better and able to be
around again.
Paul Baca's tunnel on the Bitter Greek
Sentinel is in 265 feet. 1t is estimated
that so feet more will cut strong vein

A deal has just been completed on the
Belle of Mexico. The Adams Investment

tire claim from john H. Young. The
price is not stated, but it ls understood
that the amount ran up into the thou
sands. This is one of the Oldest claims
in camp and has splendid showing, as
saying from s. to $50 per ton.
Hannah and Baker returned from Grip

William Snyder, and will be found at
their claims near Midnight from this time

GIudness Comes

with a better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms OF
sickness are not due To any actual dis
ease, but simply TO a constipated condi-
ton of the svstems which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt
~ removes That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due 20 the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which IL acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which Is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then Taxa
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skilltul
physicians. but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1896-02-29

THE country seems to have fallen up
on bad lines. Witha Congress in Wash
ington which amoua is absolutely to
uothng:a legislature which is wasting
time in tireless and disgusting scram-
Ole for Office. and peanut politics every
where taking the place of patriotism and
craftsmanship with the revolutionary
acts of city council in Baltimore to
dethrown ITS Mayor of lawful power.
the people are indeed to be pitied. Light
weight politicians, says the Centreville
Observer, filled with green eyed envy
and greed seem now to have hold of the
throttle, and they are apparently much
more anxious about some petty appoint
ment for some tied waiter than for the
interests Of the people who pay the lid
dler aud who suffer from business stag
nation as the result Of iucOmpetency in
high places. A whole winter has been
spent by Congress and not even one use
ful measure has been passed Two
thirds of the session OF the Legislature
has passed and nothing. other than Il
few local laws, has reached the Governor
for approval. The wild scramble for
Office has not only disgusted the Demo-
Gratis who voted for Governor Lowndes
bnt has even disguised the Republicans
themselves who view the scene from a
distance, while the effort to both parties
at Washington to skirmsh for position
before the people in order to win the
presidential election. has taught the
American people, if they can be taught
by. forcible example, that the wrong
has been done 10y the people at home in
sending such men to represent them.
The Republican party has much to
answer for in this matter, and We are
truly glad that this wOeful condition Of
things cannot be charged to the Demo
Gratis, because they are not in power at
either place where the diSgraeeful scenes
are being enacted.
This condition, however, ought to
serve to warn the people of all parties
against sending mere politicians and
place hunters to the halls of legislation.
The standard needs to beelevated. Bet
ter and ADLER men should be selected;
men who have high aims, lofty ambi-
tons aud patriotic impulses. Brush
aside the light weights, and the fellows
who wear collars and select the best to
be found and the country will be inn
proved by the effort.
