These sharp, raw, capricious days Of
February are blamed for much sick
ness that is simply the direct result
of nervous weakness.
Perfect health will keep one above
any depressing influence from the
weather.
Pure, richer blood and better fed
nervous tissues will make people feel
well, even in February.
During his many years of hard and
wonderful work, Professor Edward E.
Phelps, Dartmouth's great professor,
had in mind the thousands who were
weak and run down. His study Of the
many cases of nervous prostration,
neuralgia, rheumatism, dyspepsia and
debility led him to that most marvel
Gus discovery of the century, Paine's
celery compound.
In every city, as we'll as the smaller
villages scattered through this coun-
try, are men and women who for
years have relied upon Paine's celery
compound whenever they found them
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-02-22

as we'll on the run as on a halt, and
just about the time the folks at home
got ready to put on sackcIoth and
wood ashes, the glad tidings would be
received that he had mauled the life
out Of some British Communicating
chief, and that victory was roostinS
on his banner with not a tail feather
missing.
George was elected president That
has hurt many boys, for their fathers
have told them they, too. could become
presidents. Many a lad has tried the
task, but failed. Willie Mckinley and
joey Foraker Of Ohio are notable ex-
amples. Even older men have essayed
to attain the place and fell down ere
the plum was reached. John Sher-
man, who could not be elected presi-
dent of a hen convention, stands out
as an awful example of what may be
expected of the person who tries to
do what Washington did.
But although George has caused a
great deal Of inconvenience by the ex-
amples he set, he was not to blame.
No one ever heard him tell any
youth to grow up as he did. 1t has
always been some old foolish papa. or
mamma who was at fault; and people
remember this when they celebrate
his birthday We observe the occasion
in many ways. In the city the banks
close so a. man with a check cannot
get a cent to relieve his distress; the.
Legislature adjourns, the evening pa
pers do not GO to press, several people
hoist flags and the mail carrier only
makes one delivery, so that the reg
istered letter one expects is always a
day behind. Out in the country the
farmer foregoes the heavier duties of
life and spends the day tinkering at
the line fence. while his son and heir
goes out and shoots at a mark behind
the barn. IF it is on a school day,
the schools close and the kids all for
get the lessons and there is a, general
old time when the session convenes
once more, and black marks ARE en-
tered with d frequency alarming to
behold.
Still we celebrate; and it is a good
thing, for if we did not, Washington
would be forgotten in four years, save
by those who pass his old farm every
day and wish they owned it, instead
of the government.

Mt. Nebo, where the Mt Nebo Irri-
cation company, with its superb water
system, has reclaimed many thousand
acres of fertile land, so that now all
that the husbandman has to do to
transform the arid land into a garden
is to turn over the soil. plant his seed,
and turn on the water; when loi the
desert will blossom as the rose, and on

undisputed sway, neat and pretty
homes will soon spring up as if by
magic
The Mt. Nebo Irrigation company

placed on the market at from $50 to
$40 per acre with perpetual water

One prominent and pleasing feature
of this enterprise is the fact that this

WATER WAS THE THEME.

Prof. hingsbury Lectures at the
University.
Professor Kingsbury delivered a very
interesting lecture at the University
last evening. He. by experiment,
proved the composition of water to be
hydrogen and oxygen, that ordinary
drinking water contains oxygen, nitro
gen and carbonic acid gas, and that
water is a great solvent He showed
how water may be purified at home
by simple means and waste water dis
posed Of and grease and other organic
matter separated from the wash water
and thus avoid filling our yards with
putrid, dangerous substances. Streams
are not readily purified of organic
matter as many people. believe, as the
water may run for long distance and
still retain much of the material with
which it may have been contaminated.
The kind of water necessary to use
in the manufacture of sugar, starch,
in brewing, tanning and for boiler pur-
poses was briefly discussed. Taking
as a basis the leading theory in re-
gard to the crust of the earth. water
would gradually become consumed
and by it's consumption, the atmos-
pllere gradually, in the far distant flu
ture, would be changed to- hydrogen
and nitrogen from mixture of oxy-
gen and nitrogen.

The Cannon Gold Mining & Milling
company. which entered the mining
world not long ago with string OF
five groups of claims, besides a few
detached properties, has made Won
derful showing within a very short
time. The capitalization Of the COM
pany was placed at 10000 shares of
par value of s. each, and already
blocks of this stock have found ready
purchasers at $40 q share, and Angus
NJ. Cannon president Of the company,
says that it is well worth a hundred.
Not long ago, as exclusively men
toned in The Herald. the company
parted with one Of its groups to the
Wonder Mining company. receiving in
consideration therefor 100000 shares
of the stock of the Wonder company,
tna par value Of which is placed at
IS per share. and which Is now readily
selling at 81 per share.
Yesterday the directors of the Can
non company met and declared a
stock dividend, which entities the
stockholders of, the Cannon company
TO sixty shares of Wonder stock for
every share of Cannon stock held IN
their names
The Cannon company is still the own
er of four groups of claims, surveyed
for patent. as follows: Thirty-three
and one-fourth acres adjoining the
Mercur mine; fifty-five acres adjoining
the Golden Gate mine eighty acres ad-
Joining the Eagle mine and forty-five
acres on the summit between Mer-
cur and Ophfr; besides which there is
due the company on options on outside
claims S72, 600
Mr. Cannon feels very well pleased
at the record made by the company
so far, as well he may, for it would be
hard to beat it in any country.
The dividend of Wonder stock is as
good as cash. for it will sell readily
for cash; but it will prove a good stock
to hang onto as an investment. as

however. at 1910 and $6.15.
Mercur was quiet but firm at $3.50
bid and $3.50 asked.
The demand for Mammoth was good,
but no stock was offered. Starting at
$3.50 bid it advanced to $160, and any
part OF 1000 or 5000 shares was want

viii Put in a Stamp Mill on This
Fine Property.
S. H Chase of Salmon City, Ida, is
in the city and when not busy can be
found in the office of the Gold Dust
Mining company, rooms 16 and II,
Walker bank building.
Mr. Chase, with his associates. is the
owner of the Daniels group of gold
claims, seven miles northwest of Sal
mon city, and the object of his visit
to this city is to purchase a stamp
mill for the property.
On one of the openings on the Dan
ielS group Il three-foot ledge is exposed
at forty feet that averages $40 III gold
to the ton, while in the face of g hun
dred-foot tunnel there is from six
inches to a foot of ore that carries $50
in gold. The property has been Suf-
ficiently developed to prove its value
and permanency, and now all that is
needed to make it a paying PROPOSE
ton is a. mill, and Mr.. Chase proposes
to secure one while in this city, if pos
sible.
MI Chase informs The Herald that
in about month work will be re-
sumed on the Kirtley and Bohanan
which large amounts of gold have been
taken in the past and that at an
early day work will be begun on the
Leesburg bar, better known as the
California bar, in Leesburg basin,
where from 200 to 500 men will be
employed this season.
According to Mr. Chase, some very
f1attering reports have been received
at Salmon city from the Gold Dust
properties near Leesburg. and he says
from all that he can learn the mine
will be dividend payer soon after
the new mill begins dropping stamps
on Gold Dust ore.

The stock Finding Ready Sale at
Good Figures.
A deal was consummated yesterday
whereby B. T. Lloyd sold $1,000 shares
of stock in the Syndicate Mining COM
pany to Arthur Murphy at 99s cents a
share.
The Syndicate company owns six
valuable claims in the western foothills
about two miles southwest of Mercur,
and this deal is a significant one, as
Mr.. Murphy was one Of the original
locators Of these claims several years
ago, and at that time he had his pick
of the whole country. Mr.. Murphy
now realizes the fact that he made a.
mistake when he let go of his interest
in this ground and he is regaining lost
ground as rapidly as possible, and now
he is the heaviest stockholder in the
company.

just effected, gives the following board
