Back From the Grave

We cannot come, but we can often
stay our progress thither. Disease,
like everything else, must have be-
ginning sAll chronic maladies tend to
shorten life, and render it species Of
martyrdom while they last. Malaria,
kidney complaint, chronic indiges-
ton, rheumatism-al have small be-
ginnings, and may he stayed at the
outset with Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. This excellent tonic and alter
alive is adapted alike to the preven-
ton of disorders of the system and to
their removal, and its early use can
not be too strongly advocated. To
renew appetite and insure tranquil
rest, there is no surer and pleasanter
means than the Bitters. The effects
Of overwork and exhaustion, mental
or physical, are counteracted by it,
and the busy merchant, the tired
clerk or operative. and the brain
weary student, aut hor or newsp per
man, derive from it present reliefaand
future energy.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one Of
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local
treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the
bladder, was created for one purpose,
and if not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except
in rare cases. 1t is situated back of
and very close to the bladder, there
fore any pain, disease or inconveni-
ence manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder or urinary passage is often.
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be
easily avoided. To find out correctly,
set your urine aside for twenty tour
hours; sediment or settling indi-
Gates kidney or bladder trouble. The
mild and the extraordinary effect of
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, and bladder remedy is soon
realized. Ifyou need medicine you
should have the best. At druggists

Cyanide Mills on Dumps.

The Importance of the cyanide pro-
cess in the reduction of ores is illus
trated by the fact that there are now
five cyanide mills at work upon the
tailings of old mines, some of the
dumps being from fifteen To twenty
years old,
The Young American mine in Sierra
county, California, has now an Ameri
can cyanide mill in operation upon it's
tallings and is treating 100 tons per
day, the tailings averaging $500 per
ton, at an expense for treatment of Al
cents per ton.
The Bodie Mining company at Bodie,
Cal, is operating a 10O-ton mill upon
tailings: the Gold STANDARD, also at b.
die, also has l00-ton mill treating its
tailings, both tn ase mills using the Nc
Arthur-torrest process.
The Congress and Harqua Hala

Arizona is enjoying a season of min
ing activity. The rich gold discover
les and new copper finds in Yuma,
Pima and COchise counties, in the
southern part of the territory, during
the last three months are unequalled in
the history of Arizona. The monthly
output of gold has passed the million
limit, and the monthly copper output
is over eleven million pounds. The
UNCHANGED value of red metal has eX-
cited great activity in prospecting for
the same.
Cochise is undoubtedly the banner
mining county of Arizona, and has
more promising mines under course of
development than any like area on the
Pacific cost. Among the most
prominent. and which have come to
the front during the past month, is the
Herbert Downey and John Burke
group of gold properties in Huachucas
bonded to eastern parties who, we un-
derstapd, are welt pleased with the
showings thus far and 1t is almost a
foregope conclusion that the bond will
be taken up at it's expiration. The
Montezuma Mining and Milling com
pany, capitalized at S1,00O,0 900, has
taken hold of the Henry Forest group
of mines, said to be the most prOmisin @
groups in Arizona. In the Huachucas
there are many prOspectors diligently
developing their properties, and min
ing promoters are expecting to reap a
rich harvest in that section during the
coming summer,-Prospector.
