The Eye Sores Gone.

It is with pleasure that we announce to the public that we have discarded all cuts, advertisements and notices of patent medicines, and other foreign advertisements that are always clam oring for the best positions at starva- tlon' prices to the exclusion of home advertisers.
 This week we assigned them to their proper places-in the waste box, where they will never be resurected by us to rob our readers and advertisers of space. Rather than illustrate our columns with such trash, frauds and cheats we will let our surplus space be blank.

half the population walked hundreds
of miles to get there. No railroad ran
through Southern Arizona In those
days, and the awful Colorado and Mo
jave deserts had to be crossed in
wagons or on foot by the multitudes
of fortune seekers from California.

The region is 5000 feet above the sea

This entire product, valued at nearly

The gum is taken from the bales and

freed from tree bark and chips by
steaming and picking. Then it is
ground in mills making 3,4OO revolu-

The ground gum is subject to a con-

hardships that the fortune-seekers suf-
fered in the mountains will never be
fully known. A large number of men
coming out of the warm, balmy air of
the semi-tropic valleys lost their lives
amid the snow banks and ice in the
mountains, and many a man was made
an invalid for life because of exposure
to the biting cold during the stampede.
A severe blizzard ragged in the noun
tains for several days while the miners
were slowly trudging through them.
In n party Of 100 men from New
Mexico four men were frozen to death
one morning, and it is thought that
fully twenty more died in the same
way in the mountains ut that time. To
this day there are in California and
Arizona gray-headed miners who lack
a finger, a toe or an ear lost in the ter
rible cold of that stampede.
When at last the Rocky Belle dig
gings We're reached 1t was soon seer
that there was no ore in the district
worth the digging except in the claims
held by Hank Binford and his friends,
and that the reports of their finds had
been exaggerated beyond all reason.

year or two later. and he got only q
few thousand dollars from it.

A Morbid Conscience.

1t is Well, in seeking to initiate the
apostles exercise" to have always "a
conscience void Of %offense," to remem-
her that the phrase was followed by
two clauses: toward God and toward
men, Augustus Hare, while a Still
dent at Oxford, met an undergraduate
whose morbid conscience made him an
oddity, amused his friends, and Offend
ed strangers. In the "Story of MY
Life Mr.. Hare describes the man,
called r., as follows:
His arms and legs struggle away
from his body. and he holds his hands
Up like Il kangaroo. One day a man
said to lin, How do you do. re-" and
he answered, "Quite well, thank YOU"
The mex day the man was astonished
at receiving from r. the following
note:
Dear Sir: I am sorry to tell you
that I have been acting a deceptive
part. When 1 told you yesterday that
I vas quite we'll, 1 had really a head
ache; this has been upon my conscience
ever since"
The note amused the man, whose
name WAS Burton, and he showed it to
a friend. who, knowing RS weakness.
said to him:
"Oh, r.. how could you act so wrong
ly as to call Mr.. Burton dear SIR there
by giving him the impression that you
liked him, when you know that you
dislike him extremely"
Il. was sadly distressed. and n few
days later Mr.. Burton received the fol-
lowing:
Burton, 1 am sorry to trouble %
again, but 1 ave been shown that, un-
der the mask Of friendship. l have
been for the second time deceiying you:
by calling you dear sir. l may have led
you to suppose 1 liked you. which I
never did. and never can do. 1 am.
