Mineral Wealth Along the Colorado
 River.

THE mining developments along the Colorado river aIe rapidly de- veloping into large proportions, and they are all most promising gold mines. Outside of the mining re- suits, there must of necessity fol- low some important railroad de- velopments. A mining man thor oughly conversant with the situa- ton predicts that there will be early railroad building in that sec tion of the Territory but he adds the railroad that the Territory, needs most and what 1t Is most likely to get, will be the extension of line from San Diego eastward, crossing the Colorado about Ehren- berb, then east by way of Phoenix and to junction with the Rock Is land in the Panhandle. That road would open up the greatest mining district along the Colorado, the best mining region of Central Ari- zona and the great agricultural re- zion of the Salt River valley to direct communication with the east and sea port at San Diego; that road will be built" There Is not much doubt that when there is another overland route to be con- structed the road predicted by that gentleman will be the one to ma teriaiize; it would be the best pay ing of the overland roads because it would pass through a largely productive country for long dis tances where all other overland roads traverse barren regions. But to return to the gold mines of the Colorado, since the first settlement of the Territory, in fact since its first discovery gold in large qaanti ties both in placer and quartz have been known to exist and have been largely worked by small con- panies in sort of desultory way and pro- bably the most of the placer gold of the Territory has come from that region. However there is now promise of.the opening up of mines in that region by large capital and we may anticipate important set dement's on the banks of the Colo rado beyond Yuma and the Needles. O,d Ehrenberg promises to rise from the ashes of her decay, become inhabitable and a permanent and important point on the river. The stars are propitious. .-Phoe'ajr Herald.

The vein is zoo feet in length 20 to 25 feet wide. Tie oreifrom end to end tested by old miners and thorough prospectors, averages over $50 per ton.

 that human beings suffer from. It is so common that nine-tenthS of all the sickness in the world is traceable to it. It is merely that simple, common thing-constipation There is no telling what it may lead to, but it is sure to lead to something bad. Its inn mediate effects are unpleasant in the ex- trene. It makes people Estless, gives them headaches, makes the digestion poor, causes dizziness, loss of appetite, loss of sleep, foul breath and distress after eating. All this merely because Nature has been imposed upon, and has been refused the little help she needed.
 This little help is furnished by Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. One pill Is gentle laxative and two a mild catliartic. There are two remarkable things about the Pellets" One IS that they never gripe; There is no other medicine that does cure permanently You can take any othef medicine you like, as long as you like, and if you stop, your trouble will come back quickly, and the chances are the trouble will be worse than 1t was before. This isn't true of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. You take them until you get yourself into perfect working order, and then you stop. You don't have to take airy more Pellets" " unless after while you do something that deranges your digestive system again. We are not guessing about these facts, and we don't ask you to take our unsupported word for it. Thousands of people have found that they are true, and have testified to them.

NATith better understanding of the
 w transient nature of the many phys ical 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 constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup pof Figs, prompt ly 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. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without facilitating the organs on which it acts. Itis therefore all important, in order to get its bene- fcial effects, to note when you pur- chase, thatyou have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep utable druggists.
 If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxa- tives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most sl1illful physicians, but if in need of laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informede everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.
