Thurday Evening.
The show that the Empire Athletic
Club will hold, takes place at Pyle's

December 30.
The three bouts on the program are all
good ones and that a large crowd will
turn out there is little doubt. This club
should be encouraged for the game in
this city is now dead and the Empire ex-
poets to revive the sport in this city.
The club will permit no taking and
there will be no disorder or delay be-
tween the bouts.
The ten round wind-up between Jack
Farrell and Pat Mcconnell will be the
warmest argument ever seen in the
building Farrell has not appeared in
this city for number of years and then
he was only beginner. He was then
known for his cleverness. Farrell has
been putting them all to sleep down
around Washington. Pat Mcconnell is
known as punisher. He never knows
when he has enough, therefore these lads
will surely put up very clever bout.
The second contest will bring to-
gether Jack Ward of this city and Billy
Farren OF Philadelphia. Farren has been
helping Joe Cans train and on Friday
night at the Arena in Philadelphia he
put out Neal Call in the first round.
Everybody knows Ward to be a good
clever lad.
The first bout on the carpet will bring
together Bubby Pierce of this city and
Kid Grayson of Chester. Pierce is known
by his great bouts with Charles Saville.
Grayson is considered the cleverest los
pound lad around Chester. Don't for

THE PROBLEM SOLVED.
The New Medical Discovery Tested. Results of the Test in Various Forms of Dyspepsia.

Chronic indigestion or dyspepsia, while very common trouble, has for some time been looked upon by able physicians as 8 serious thing, and that no time should be lost in treating it properly at the start, because recent searches have shown that the most serious, fatal and incurable diseases have their origin in simple dyspepsia or indigestion
 Diabetes is simply one form of indi- gestion, the sugar and starchy food not being assimilated by the digestive organs. In Bright's disease the albu- men is not properly assimilated.
 While consumption and dyspepsia are twin diseases, and it is beyond question that dyspepsia makes a fer tile soil for the seeds of consumption
 But the trouble has been to find a remedy that could be depended upon to cure dyspepsia, as it is notoriously obstinate and difficult to cure
 This has been the question which has puzzled physicians and dyspeptics alike, until the question was solved three years ago by the appearance of new dyspepsia cure in the medical world known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which it was claimed was as a certain, reliable cure for every form of stomach trouble.
 Physicians, however, would not ac- cept such statements without first giv- ing the new remedy many tests and carefully observing results. For three years the remedy has been thoroughly tested in every section of the country and with surprising and satisfactory results.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be honestly claimed to be specific, a radical lasting cure for indigestion in the various forms of acid dyspepsia or sour stomach, gas or wind on stom- ach, too much bile, undue fullness or pressure after eating and similar symp- toms resulting from disordered diges- tion. Stuart's Dyspesia Tablets were not placed before the public until this three years trial left no doubt as to their value and they have recently been placed in the trade and can be found on sale at all druggists at the nominal price of 50 cents per package | No extravagant claims are made fol the remedy. It will not cure rheuma- tism, pneumonia, typhoid fever nol anything but just what it is claimed to cure and that is every form of stom ach trouble.
 No dieting is necessary, good whole some food and plenty of it and yor may rest assured that Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets will digest it.
 Druggists claim for it that it is ; pleasure to recommend it to dyspep tics, because it gives such universa satisfaction.

From O'Brien's camp it is a little over mile to J. K. Mur- phys camp. The Gold Bug mine, owned by Messrs. Murphy, Hutchin- son and Driscoll, is a well known mine in the northern part of Mari copa county. Its development has been watched with interest for some time. A crosscut tunnel runs into the mountain from Slim Jim gulch 106 feet where it encounters the ledge. A drift follows the ledge for 200 feet and shows up a continuous body of ore which grows in value as the end of the tunnel is reached. There it is honeycombed the width of the ledge which is three feet, and the gold values run up to $500. It is the bonanza pros pect of the district. The owners value their property at s1O00OO.

H. B. Quick, who exported the ground for the com pany is on the ground and has charge of the work of placing the machinery in readiness for work. A reservoir is being made at the river and a pump house will be placed there to supply the placer plant. The placer machine l is the largest ever brought to the | territory. It is capable of handling 1,500 yards per day. MT. Quick says | that the plant will be ready to begin operations in three months.
 The camp of the Sterling Placer Mining company will be at what is known as the Pete Videre property, a | mile up the Hassayampa river from | Wagoner.

Thirty-six men will be employed, and the machine itself will require twelve men to operate it. Tn company has enough ground to keep it running with one machine for over a century. The same company also owns thirty-six quarter sections of placer ground at Weaver which will be worked in the same manner. S. E.
