little organization, and in few
months more than 100, 900 men voted
for the amendment. We hope to have

Miss Moore, instituted the orgauiza-

Is dangerous disease. 1t may lead
directly TO consumption. Catarrh is
caused by impure blood and the true
way to cure it is by purifying the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla cures ca

it by purifying the blood. Thou

other on north and south line. The
one on the north is called Preston. then
Terry, followed by Ragged Top. The
Elkhorn has surveyed a branch from
Portland into the Ragged Top country
and as soon as the weather permits it
will build into the towns.
The reports sent out about Ragged
Top seem to indicate that it is a para
disc for poor men, but until the mines
are thoroughly equipped there will he
no demand for skilled or common labor
in that country, because there is a sur
plus of idle men in the vicinity. The
man who spends his last cent for q
ticket to Lead or Preston and lands
there without enough to buy him a
meal will not be allowed to starye but
he would better remain where he is.
The miners are all thoroughly organ
lied in that section, the Harvey Peak
Miners Union alone having more than
1000 members in good standing. At
Lead they have a fine hall built by
themselves at cost of 100000. The
fame of the mining country has attract
ed many queer characters to that sec
ton. Prominent among these is DOC"
Middleton, the noted scout, who landed
in Lead the other day with Is cents and
a box Of poker chips, with which he

expects to make fortune In Ne hills.
DOC" is curious relic OF the early
days in the west, and is always ready
to recount some tales of his exploits
when Deadwood was rough border
town In the '70s. Doc wears his hair
after the style of Buffalo Bill" now.
and with his goatee he looks as though
he had stepped out of wild west show.
He is now city marshal of Edgemont,
S. d., and lately, thinking that he was
about to pass in his checks" he Joined
the church. He has not changed his
ways, though. He is quite gray, but Is
1.-the and active as in the early days
when lifting hair from an Indian
warrior or lodging a sheriff in the sand
hills of Nebraska.
No more picturesque scenery can be
found in a weeks travel than in the
vicinity of Lead sAd the Ragged Top
mountains. To the northwest Of Lead
towers Bald mountain, fully 1850 feet
above the sea level, while Clusters peak
to the south presents magnificent
view. Thousands of years ago the en-
tire country, according to scientists.
must have been submerged In shallow
water and the hills were formed by
volcanic eruptiOns, which changed the
entire surface OF the country. The
theory of the mining men is that the
gold now being found at Ragged Top
was at one time In a molten state and
was projected from the mouth of one
of the volcanoes during this period.
The gold, mixed with the lava, flowed
down the sides. of the mountains and
cooled. A subsequent eruption again
changed the surface of the earth, this
time standing the hardened formation
on end, forming the "verticals" that
are now being worked by the miners.
Somewhere below the surface the
source of all the gold exists, and when
the mother lode is struck there will be
gold enough to supply the world. The
road to Ragged Top camp abounds in
beautiful situations. Near Portland the
trail winds around the mountains for
miles and when one gains the summit
1t is enough to make timid person
