Japan's Experience With Silver.
The attempt of Japan to maintain a
mint ratio that was different from the
market ratio was failure and resulted
in denuding the circulation of gold. BIZ
metallism had failed in Japan as else
where.
The decline in the value of money had
in Japan the effect it always has had of
robbing the laborer and enriching the
capitalist. The miserable pittance paid
to the wretched operatives must at no
distant period lead to social revolution
unless the rate of wages be considerably
improved.
In 1879 family consisting of five
members Of the lower middle class could
subsist Oh 20 yen year. In 1898 the cost
Of living had risen to 180 yen a year.
During period of s2 years the silver
yen declined very nearly one-haf in its
gold value, about two-ffths in its power
to buy merchandise and about one fourth
in its power to buy labor.
The gold value Of the exports from
the United States and England to Japan
was over SIS, 600, 900 in 1892 and nearly
$31, 900, 0O0 il 1896. while the imports
of the two from Japan were over $780,
900, 600 in the first year and less than
$31, 10000 in the last year.-Fred

A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New Discovery
for Curing Dyspepsia.

The Rev. F. I. Bell, highly esteeme ed
minister residing in Weedsport, Cayuga
Co., N. Y, in recent letter writes as fol-
lows: There has never been anything
that I have taken that has relieved the
dyspepsia from which I have suffered for
ten years except the new remedy called
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Since taking
them l have had no distress at all after
eating and again after long years oAN
SLEEP WELL. Rev. F. I. Bell, Weedsport,
N Y, formerly Idalia, Colo.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is remark
able remedy, not only because it is GER
tain cure for all forma of indigestion, but
because it seems to act as thoroughly in
old chronic cases of dyspepsia as in mild
attacks of indigestion or biliousness. A
person has dyspepsia simply because the
stomach is overacorked, all it wants is a
harmless, vegetable remedy to digest the
food aud thus give it the much needed
rest.
This is the secret of the success of this
peculiar remedy. No matter how weak or
how much disordered the digestion may
be, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets aviU digest
the food achether the stomach aUorks or
not. New life and energy is given not
only to the stomach but to every organ
and nerve In the body. A trial Of this
81 lendid medicine will convince the most
skeptical that dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles can be cured. The tablets are
prepared by the Stuart Chemical 90, of
Marshall, Mich, but so popular has the
remedy become that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets can now be obtained at any drug
store at 50 cents per package. Send for
book on stomach diseases free.

"The foregoing does not include the
amount of ore these properties have pro-
duced and now have lying on the dumps
awaiting mill treatment. 1t, is estimated
that the dump on the Lone Star contains
5000 tons of ore of an average value of
500 to the ton, the Grown Point dump
consists of some 5000 tons of $18 ore,
the Washington dump 1000 of 500 ore,
the Albemarle 1000 of ore averaging $16
to the ton, and the Union, Little Mollie,
Ellen L., Iron King, No Name, Black
Girl, Good Hope and number of the
less developed properties an aggregate
amount of several thousand tons of ore
that would pay to mill, and out of which
small percentage of shipping ore could
be sorted"
The NEW MEXICAN has watched the de
velopment of the Oochiti mining district
with the deepest interest during the past
four or five years and has been the stead
fast friend thereof from the very begin
ming of it's history. 1t now possesses in
formation that the foregoing figures are
exceedingly conservative.
The Herald might truthfully have added
that, owing to the first cost of transport
ing the ores of the district by wagon to
the Santa Fe railroad at Thornton, and
thence by railroad to Pueblo, Ell Paso,
and Silver City, it has not been prudent
to ship ore that would average much less
than $40 per ton in gold and silver and
this has involved sorting expenses that
have often exceeded the cost of mining.
1t thus happens that there are probably
10000 tons of from $15 to $40 ore on the
dumps of the district and fully 100000
tons of from $40 to $50 ore in sight in
the slopes of the different mines.
All this ore and vast quantities more
will be turned into money as soon as
modern and suitable methods for tr eat
ing low grade gold bearing quartz are
provided either at Bland or on the Rio
Grande river few miles below.
The ores of the camp are not seriously
refractory and fully 80 per cent of them
can be rendered free milling by roasting.
Hence it is safe proposition that those
that run even as low as IS per ton will
ultimately be mined and reduced at a
profit.
The question is often asked by the un-
informed, "Why, with such immense
bodies of low grade ore In sight in the
Oochltl ledges, ore that would long before
this have made booming camp in Colo.
rado, have four years passed by without
witnessing the erection of proper reduc-
tion plants in the districtY" The an
swer is easy. Until the recent decision of
the United States supreme court. sustain
ing the decree of the United States court
of private land claims, the titles of the
district have been under a land grant
cloud, and it is needless to add that
moneyed men are not much addicted to
making Investments where there is q
shade of uncertainty concerning titles.
But this dark cloud, having been happily
dissipated by the court of last resort, no
doubt is entertained that the capital
needed to develop the mines and reduce
the output therefrom will be forthcoming
before another year is folded up among
the things of the past.
