RAPID MOTION AFFECTS CHILDREN

"Migraine" May Develop ms q Result
of Swift Riding.
From the Medical Record.
DR.. John Madison Taylor. in an article on
Children of Feeble Resistance: Their Care
and Management" published in the Medical
Times and Hospital Gazette, December ID.
1886 says that it Is very unwise to submit
babies to rapid journeys and the looking
out of windows at swiftly passing objects
while flying along. He says that he has
seen migraine develop apparently through
the custom Of giving small children exer-
else In a carriage with a pair Of fast horses
every day. Certain instances Of profound
disturbance have been caused by this
means, and 1t Is reasonable to infer that q
continuance Of such measures may produce
lasting damage upon SO delicate an organ
as the eye, and the whole sensitive organ
ism is thus inperiled. 1t Is also unwise to
encourage child to sleep while being driv-
en- about. The motion Is both regular and
subject to sudden irregularities. The per-
sistence of one kind Of motion up and down
is bad. not only producing unsound sleep,
but keeping up a molecular agitation which
has little to recommend 1t. If the infant be
sufficiently old to sit up or be held up by
the nurse, strain is put upon the spinal
column. Thus continuous mild concus-
sions are administered to the brain and
spinal cord; the eye Is put upon a strain
thus acting directly upon the brain: an eie-
ment of excitement is introduced, and ply
siologtcal irritabflity is the probable result

4 BIG DEPOSIT OF COPPER.
Remarkable Copper Properties Dis-
 covered in the 5. H. Mountains.

Since the discover of the King of
 Arizona there has been a thorough search in the s. H. mountains by
 prospectors who rushed in there
 when the news of the big strike,was made known. A number of small strikes have been made since, but probably no copper deposit has been found that equals the dis made by George w, Norton a few weeks ago. MT. Norton be- lieves that the "I.ost Frenchman" mine has never been found, and for a number of years he has tried to locate whatis yet only mythical mine. In this prospecting he has come across a mum Der of good prop critics, the latest being a copper deposit of great magnitude He has located two claims on the ledge, the Buena Vista and La Mexicana. MT. Norton's strike is about fifteen miles southwest of the King of Three shafts have ben sunk two of them to depth of ten feet and one twenty-five feet, but no development work has been The ore is free milling and carried by horn-spoon test in the neighborbood of $40 per ton.

Still Another Rich Fiad.

c. M. Moote and Frank Cox have returned from lengthy prospecting trip in the $. H. Mountains and have located several claims in that much advertised and talked about mining district known as Gleason's Bonanza.
 They like everybody else, give glowing accounts of several finds in the district.
 MT. Moote informs us that during his prospecting trip he run across an old shaft and On cleaning it out dis covered a large vein of nearly pure lead ore running high in silver. On his return to Yuma he told of the wonderfully rich lead and silver mine he had found and located and on giving description of the same he learned that w. L Hopkins was the original locator and when silver went down abandoned the mine. Mir. Moote located with him B. A. Haraszthy and J. R. Cox. They are all worthy citizens and 1t is to be hoped the "boy's" have discovered the second Bonanza in the s. H. mountains.

The AntIer Group of Mines.

Frank Guerra, who is now in charge of the development work on the Ari- zona King, came in "Wednesday fer the purpose of visiting his group of mines known as the Antler group situated at Picacho. New York cap italists have had an expert by the name of Wright examining this group of mines for some lit tie time and also all the mines ia that mining district MT. Wright says the ore will run as high as $1O per ton. When it is taken into consideration that crop ings can be traced over eight acres square and the main vein is 500 feet wide in one place it will be under stcod that that mining district in the very near future will be one of the richest and largest mining camps on the Pacific Coast.
 MT. Guerra says if the ore averages $4 per ton he will be perfectly satis- fled. He returned from Picacho Thursday and left the same evening for camp Gleason.

Haunted!

The human tenenment is often haunted-to the grlevous discomfort ofits possessor-by those malignant spirits, constipation and biliousness. But the abominahle pair may be speed fly driven out with the potent help of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This genial alterative, while it relieves the bowels and regulates the liver, never, IS drastic purgative does, produces violent effects and weakens the in testines. On the contrary, the action of the Bitters is precisely analogous to an effort ef nature seeking to resume her proper functions. This furnishes pretty conclusive evidence that it is better to us persuasive means, so to speak, than to endeavor to coerce nature to a return to duty. Violent remedies produce only temporary effect, followed by hurtful reaction. For indigestion, malarial and kidney complaints, rheumatism and nervous ness, the Bitters takes highest rank among remedies of the philosophic school.

THE BULL FI9HT
After Five Days Closed Sunday Night Having Completed One of the Greatest Seasons of HilaritT
 Ever Witnessed in Yuma.

Sunday evening the grand fiesta wound up with several savage bull fights, in one of which Jim Meadows, brother of "Arizona Charlie" came near losing his life. In an attempt to evade the bulls sharp horns he landed upon the animals back, but was un- able to retain his seat on the frenzied bull. The next second the spectators with bated breath, saw him under the bulls feet, being gered by the en- ragged beast. He would undoubtedly have been killed but for the timely arrival of young Albert Hodges, who attracted the bulls attention with g red serape, and allowed Meadows to scramble to his feet, torn and bleed- ing, and make his escape.
 The animal was tied down, and bags containing pieces of money were fastened to it's ho ns and any per- son was invited to keep the money who succeeded ill taking it off. Young Frank Crane, farmer of the Colo ado valley took it off with remarable dexterity. A short time afterward the grand fiesta closed. It was one of the greatest amusement events ever seen in Yuma.
 The Meadows Brothers took their departure the following day as also did the balance of the performers.
