EsAN CANYON WORKS BURNED.
Fire Destroys the Hosting Works
and shaft.

White Pine News. September 4: A cloud
rests on our citizens today at the misfor-
tune that befell the North Mountain Com
pany at Egsn Canyon on Thursday night.
At 70 O'Clock an alarm OF fire Was given.
The blsEe was discovered in the hosting
works, in which was situated the black
smith shop. There being no water, the
building was quickly consumed. when il
extended to the shaft, down which 1t sped
it's destructive course, and the extent Of
the damage done will be unknown until
the mine is ~reopened. Willing hands
FASTENED to the tunnel mouth to close IL
while the shaft and other connections
were covered over, with . view to ex-
tinguish the flames by smothering them.
The mine is we'll timbered from surface to
tunnel level, about 600 feet, and being
very dry, great damage may be done.
However, il Is hoped that the FIRE may be
limited to $50 or 200 feet. The black.
smith, M. Fl. Cochran. states that he
thoroughly extinguished the fire in the
forge by water at s O'Clock when he quit
| work, but a spark must have been smould-
| ering somewhere, from which resulted
such q calamitous FIRE. Everything was
ready for q long and successful run and
dividends we're expected in the near fu-
ture. The owners are live and energetic
men and ii is expected they will lose no
time in putting affairs in order, replenish
their Golfers and gladden. the hearts Of this
community by giving employment to the
unemployed. The mill will be kept In OPP
GRAFTON as there are immense quantities Of
ore on the dump.

now 1T AFFECTS UNCLE sam.

The recent decline in silver affects the
treasury. The present available cash
balance, IS given in the official treasury
statement, is in round numbers, S222,-
900. 900. says the Mining and Scientific
Press. In estimating this balance on
hand, the government stock of silver
bullion is reckoned at it's original cost, in
stead Of its present. market value. The
amount Of this silver bullion now on hand
is slI4,O 900, 900. giving il the value OF lite
original cost. But considering the pres
ens market value Of silver, this bullion
would not sell for more than $50, 0O0.-
600. Aside from this large part OF the
cash balance is made up from standard
silver dollars now held in the treasury,
each one of them being counted as 9 full
dollar. The amount OF this coin silver is
1891, 600, 900. The government stamp
upon these coins gives them their dollar
value in current circulation, but. If they
we're measured at their actual bullion
value Of about 40 cents each. this asset
Of the cash balance would also suffer a
shrinkage. The two items OF coined and
uncoined silver amount to S505. 900, 900,
and it is at this amount that il goes onto
the credit side Of the cash balance. Al
its market value, however, it would be
worth only $3.50. 900. 900.

Dehorn the Cattle.

Wyoming cattlemen who are shipping
cattle to Nebraska and other feed farms,
are advised by Chicago commission firms
TO dehorn all cattle shipped for feeders.
II is stated that cattle when dehorned will
feed better and when shipped to market
will travel quietly and arrive at the yards
without bruises. Eastern shippers and
exporters will pay from 10 to Is cents per
100 pounds more for dehorned cattle. all
other conditions being similar. a. the
cattle show up in so much better condi-
ton at their destination. Horned cattle
hook mi another and fight more oil less.
and consequently injure the sale Of the

ONE IN EVERY FOUR
one Person I'm Every Four Suffers
from Piles.

About one person in every four suffers
from some form of rectal disease. The most
common and annoying is itching piles. in
dicated by warmth. slight moisture and in
tense, uncomfortable itching in the parts
affected.
The usual treatment has been some simple
ointment or salve which sometimes give
temporary relief. but nothing like 4 per-
manent cure can be expected from such
superficial treatment
The only permanent cure for itching piles
yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile Cure, not
only for itching piles. but for every other
form of piles, blind, bleeding or protrudng.
The first application gives instant relief,
and the continued use for a short time
causes q permanent removal of the tumOrs
or the small parasites which cause the in
tense itching and discom ort OF itching pies
Many physicians for long time supposed
that the remarkable relief afforded by the
Pyramid Pile Cure was because 1t was sup
posed to contain cocaine, opium or similar
drugs but such is not the case. n recent
careful analysis of the remedy showed it to
be absolutely free from any cocaine, opium,
or in fact any poisonous. injurious drugs
whatever. Sold by druggists at % cents per
package.

free book on cause and cure of piles.

FRUITS OF SCIENCE.
Research That Has Resulted in Great
Industrial Changes.


German chemists have long led the. world
in their marvellous discoveries in synthetical
as we'll as analytical chemistry of organic
and inorganic compounds. The discovery
made in 1869 in dingy little laboratory by
a German chemist that the coloring mat
ter found in the madden root could be ar
officially produced has entirely wiped out of
existence an industry of enormous extent
formerly carried on in India and elsewhere
at large profit. 1t is estimated that in India
alone between there and four hundred
thousand acres of land were utilized in
growing madder prior to this discovery
The average value of the crop exceeded
S., Zoo coo annually. In 1868, the year pre-
eeding this remarkable discovery, the vast
Importance of which was rot at first APP
preciated, the enormous quantity OF $1,000
tons of madden root was sent 10 market.
Ten years later a quantity OF artificial
aliZarin Che name of this coloring sub
stance) equal to the natural product of
chemical factories. A very conservative
estimate of the value of the artificial ali
zarin produced annually would be $4,000, 600,
and the cost OF the artificial dye is now less
than one-third the former cost OF natural
alzarin produced from the nader root
The immense economic value of this great
discovery is hard to fully appreciate The
land which was formerly used for growing
madden is now utilized in growing coffee,
cotton, corn, wheat and other food products
This artificial aliZarin is produced from
material which was formerly refuse, and,
withal a most disagreeable substance
namely, coal tar. There is perhaps no other
material which has formed the foundation
of so many and such various useful, beauti-
full and understanding products.
There is in Switzerland a factory COM
mercially producing from similar refuse a
substance called ''saccharine, which is
sold everywhere as a substitute for sugar,
especially for invalids who are afflicted with
ailments which prohibit them from the use
of cane or beet-root sugar. This material
is also produced from coal tar; and ii is
so intensely sweet that a single grain dis
solved in coffee, water or other solvent Will
actually sweeten the fluid as highly as will
200 grains of ordinary sugar.
