How to
CureCataprh.

Every sufferer from Catarrh should
know that it is impossible to cure the
disease with sprays, washes, inhala-
tons, ETC., which are universally used.
In fact, the experience of growing
worse all the while is proof that the
treatment is all wrong. Many
who have been under treatment for
years and met with disappointment in
stead of benefit are willing to doubt
that there is any cure for Catarrh.
The trouble is that all of the treat
ment they have received has been mis-
directed, and has not touched their
trouble. Catarrh is a stubborn deep
seated blood disease, and everybody
should know that to simply treat the
surface, that is, the local irritation,
does not reach the disease. A blood
remedy is needed, but it must be good
one; a remedy which goes down to the
very bottom of the trouble and forces it
out. SIS. (Swift's Specifc) is the only
one which can have the slightest effect
upon Catarrh, for it is the only one which
goes to the seat of the disease, and per
manently gets rid of it. This is the only
reasonable way to treat Catarrh.

Mr.. B. P. McAllister, of Harrodsburg,
KY, had Catarrh for years. He writes:
81 could see no Improvement what
ever, though | was constantly treated
with sprays and washes, and different
inhaling rernedies-in fact, could feel
that each winter I was worse than the
year previous.
"Finally it was brought to my notice
that Catarrh was blood disease, and
after thinking over the matter, saw it
was unreasonable to expect to be cured
by remedies which only reached the
surface. then decided to try S. S. S.,
and the results were gratifying, for
after a few bottles were used, noticed
a perceptible improvement. Continu-
ing to take the remedy, the disease was
forced out of my system, and COM
plete and permanent cure was the
result. 1 advise all who have this
dreadful disease to abandon their local
treatment, which has never done them
any good, and take S.S.S. (Swift's Spe-
ciic), a remedy which can reach the
disease and cure it,"
To continue the wrong treatment for
Catarrh is to continue to suffer- Swift's
Specific never fails to cure even
the most aggravated cases. 1t is a
real blood remedy, and cures Catarrh,

Eczema, Cancer, Scrofula, and all other

IN TUNNELS AND SHAFTS.
The Lance Young Man Seeing some Of the
Mines by the Light Of Candies.

The story OF the Lead King mine covers
a period of seventeen years and is another
of those cases frequent in the annals of
mining where men worked almost in
sight of mineral without finding it, other
miners came to make other errors, and at
last came the handtouched with fortunes
wand or guided by knowledge gained by
years of research, to wrest from natures
depository rich stores of mineral.
In 1880 Eli Pitcher, an old prospector
located it first as the ben Butler No. T.
and five years later sold it to Al johnson
who did some development work but in
1894 abandoned it. The following year
it was relocated by Andy Burnett, w. S.
Smith and Geo. Ii. Tays, who christened
it THE Lead King" These gentlemen
are all practical miners of long experience
in this district and the result has proved
their judgment of this splendid property
correct.
The mine is located at an altitude of
10000 feet, about one mile north of Crys
tai, on Meadow mountain. The main
Il
tytwo feet deep and fifty feet of upraise
over the shaft to surface, at 40 feet
from the mouth of tunnel. Another
tunnel is being driven % feet below the
level of the bottom of the shaft. The
lower tunnel is on the contact vein in a
lime and shale contact-one which in
variably carries strong lead of mineral,
and in this case it is four foot vein of
copper. The shaft in the upper tunnel
is sunk on fissure vein which breaks up
from the contact below, and a drift being
run from fifty foot level below the tun-
mel is yielding nice lot of copper and
lead ore, taken out by underhand stop
ing. To this mine the ''pay ore from
grass roots" paragraph may properly be
applied, for where the lower tunnel be-
gins two boulders of solid copper were
rolled out, one of which weighs ton,
and the other third of a ton.
The first shipment of ore from the
Lead King was made about the first of
about five tons day, which is being
shipped as fast as it can be moved to the
railroad by jack trains.
A whim put in couple of weeks ago,
to hoist ore in the shaft is the first pow
er machinery of any description put in
this property. All of the development
work has been done with hand steel, and
the mine has paid the cost of all develop
ment work, done by the present owners,
out of its own product, and probably a
little more.
A short time ago Burnett, Smith &
Tays refused an offer Of $4,000, spot cash
for the property. 1t is a close company,
owned exclusively by the three gentle
men, who have too good evidence of its
value to sell for song. The Lead King
embraces three full claims, and is all
patented.

AMONG THE MINES.
Float Picked Up Around the Crystal District and
Echoes From the rlany Mines.


John Larson has just located five good
claims on Bear Mountain, on which he
will have prospecting work done soon.
The Inez is only running small force
and all the work is being done ON the
ore streak. taking out ore, and prospect
ing for body.
Jack Wise is doing assessment work on
number of claims on Sheep Mountain
and may begin development work ON one
of his best showing claims.
The Scofield concentrating mill is re-
ducing considerable ore, and an immense
amount of development work work is
making times lively around the old camp
again.
John Larson, Gus johnson and Ola
Carlson have taken contract to drive a
fifty foot tunnel on Crystal Mountain
property of Al Ferris. They will begin
work the first of the week.
The Lead King added two men to its
force this week, to push the work in the
lower tunnel and in the drift at the fifty
foot level. In another article in this
issue will be found description of this
property.
The Crystal Mountain Mine tunnel
has been extended some fifteen feet the
possible and it is the intention of the
management to operate this mine all
winter.
Messrs Fisher and Boucher who are
working some good showing clrims up in
Bear Basin have been opening a trail
this week to haul ore down by jack train.
They have already sent several shipments
down to the Marble Smelling & Refining
Company.
The fires at the Marble Smelter were
blown in the last of the week, but in the
first run met with an accident which will
require some time to repair. The run,
though short seemed to indicate that the
ore of this district can be treated sue
cessfully at Marble.
The new pump has reached the Belle
of Titusville, and on thenday it arrived
the shaft cut into body of water which
is being handled without difficulty. The
shaft is being sunk rapidly but will re-
quire some weeks to complete it. The
pump is being run night and day.
Mrs. Sarah May, of Chicago, Illinois,
arrived in camp this morning to look
after the Catalpa mine which is owned
and controlled by ner. 1t is probable
that while here she will execute bond
and lease on the property. The Catalpa
is located on Sheep Mountain, near the
famous Black Queen, on the same con
TACT and is probably one of the most
promising mines of the camp. There is
also possibility that Chicago and Lon
don capitalists will take hold Of this
mine.

When the full moon shines brightly
Over old Whitehouse sparkling crest,
And Fairies tripping lightly
Wander from the mountains breast:
Then love to go dreaming
In the land of sweet repose,
Where through some wakeful seeming
A sweet zephyr gently blows;
Comes to whisper strange fancies
would never dare to dream,
Even in loved Luna's glances
Ger the inirrored mountain stream.

Over which it hap's to roam,
But nowhere meets prettier fairies
