THE REST CURE.

This is often the best But many
people cannot afford to rest indefinitely.
Worse still. the very knowledge that they
cannot. seriously intcrferes with the best use
of the rest they have. Too often going to the
doctor means that the patient shall stop short,
while cares and duties and expenses continue.
Many, therefore, hesitate and delay.
Drs. Starkey & Palen's Compound Oxygen
Treatment presents an easy way ont of the
dilemma; it has done SO for moro than score
of years and for more than three score thous-
and people. The agent used is the Compound
Oxygen. The method puts it where it will do
the most gocd-in the lungs. The treatment
neither iutcrferes with business nor pleasure.
This simple thing has made multitudes of run

The King of Arizona mine in the S. H. mountains is surprising its owners It is richer than any of them had dared to prophecy. Recent develop ments show that the initial shaft. which has now reached a depth of 100 feet, is but mere prospect hoe
 The proprietors have made severai unsuccessful attempts to develop a water supply at the mine, and they are still prosecuting the work with V1gor. They are now working at a point on the Noche Buena claim. which rests al the foot of the mountain near the des- ert. Tn drilling for water on mining claim adjoining a rich producer there was naturally a keen interest fslt by the proprietors of the property The matter clinging to the drill was washed frequently, and the work of sinking for water was combined with pros pecting the claim. At a dep,h of some thing less than 100 feet the drill brought up a quantity of dirt that showed remarkable values in free gold. The computations of the foreman gives the ledge struck a value of $2.00O to the ton. Drilling was continued through the ledge which showed a width of twenty-six feet No definite estimation of the value of the new strike can be made The nature of the prospecting is a somewhat novel thi- g in quartz mining in Arizona. But the strike shows that the world will be richer by many millions when the mine has been fully worked. A well- known mining man of Tucson who wis ited the mine few days ago said there was S11;OO0, 900 in the property with out sinking another foot.
 The King of Arizona is remarkable mi1e. in many respects The forma- tionV robbed it of the conldeace of many mining men from the start. In the development of the mine thus far no walls have been encountered The ore in the bottom of the shaft is the same conglomerate rock which was found near the surface. Most Of it shows the same fine. free gold which met the eye of Eichelberger when he was trying to climb over the ledge last February. The average value of the ore is about $60, at the present depth
 Edward Eichelberger, who discov- cred the mine, has sold his interest to Col. Epes Randolph, Eugene $. Ives and R. c. Duncan. MT. Gleason has sold his interest. and the mine is now owned by the gentlemen named above. It is just entering on it's phenomenal career, although it has been a rich producer for many months. The late strike makes the property all the more deserving of the name given it by EicheIberger, ''The King of Arizona" :"

Valuable Suggestions About Picking and

Many farmers gather their apples by
shaking them from the trees upon the
ground. where they are more or less
bruised by striking one another or the
ground. Where apples have a ready
sale hand picking ought to he
practiced. although it adds quite large
~ to the expense of gathering. Better,
however, than the shaking of the ap-
pies upon the ground is the use of such
contrivance as is shown in Fig. l.

branches of nearly the whole OF one
side can be shaken, the apples falling
upon the cloth and gently rolling down

be made in two parts. as seen in Fig.
