As you may suppose, we took good
care not to let our fire go out. Every
night before father and mother went
to bed the embers in the big kitchen
fireplace were drawn together and
covered with ashes. so as to keep them
alive until morning.
We'll, one sharp October morning
early, when we went into the kitchen
to get breakfast, and mother raked the
ashes-behold, the fire had gone out.
There had been rain in the night, and
it had blown down the chimney so that
the ashes were damp.
"'Here's a fine state of things!' said
mother; no fire, and Mr.. Bell Dor
rowed the finder box yesterday to
start a fire in his clearing, and didn' I
bring it back. Jason, you must go and
ask Mrs. Winn for a chunk of fire, and
be as quick as you can about it, do you
hear@
sit was no unusual thing to send for
a chunk of fire, odd as it may seem
now You had to hurry to keep it alive,
and so we had the saying, to 60 for a
chunk a. fire. when anybody was in a
terrible hurry.
"'Oh. mother. let me go, too ex-
claimed.
Well. don't care; but be quick
so Jason and I've were twins and
always did things together-set off for
our fire. The Wins were our nearest
neighbors and best friends. The two
families had come from Virginia and
taken up land together.
Eve found the family at breakfast.
Mr.. Winn made each of us eat a piece
of hot buttered hoecake, while his wife
filed the tin pail we had brought with
hickory Goals and covered them with
ashes.
"'Has your father heard anything
of a panther about? = asked Afr. VIM.

that, No. we said.
"'Now, Mr.. VIM, don't you scare
those children. Run along home,
dears, and come bacl; when you can
stay longer.
we set off. not without some mis-
givings and walked fast. We were in
the middle of the woods, halfway
home. when we heard the far-off cry
of a wildcat. We had heard it before
and knew it at once There was hope,
however, that the animal did rot know
of our presence in the woods. We
hurried on, and had nearly reached
our clearing when we heard the cry,
fearfully near this time. We fairly
flew, and were at our fence when
looking back, we saw the panther, only
a few feet behind us. Yes. he was chas
ing us-were we to be killed so near
home and safety? Neither of us could
scream; fright always took away my
voice and Jason was the same way.
All of a sudden / remembered how
crazy cats are about catnip-I reckon
God put il into my head-and | flung
the bunch square at the beast 1t hit
him plump in the face. and he stopped
with snarl We didn't wait to see
what he did next. but just jumped over
the fence and tore home Mother was
so astonished when we tumbled over
each other into the kitchen door.

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
A Positive Cure for Dyspepsia

This may read as though we were putting it a little strong because it is generally thought by the majority ol people that Dyspepsia in it's chronic form is incurable, or practically so. But we have long since shown that Dyspepsia is curable, nor is it such a difficult matter as it first appears.
 The trouble with Dyspeptics is that they are continually dieting, starving themselves, or going to opposite ex- tremes or else deluging the already over burdened stomach with 'bitters," ''after dinner pills,' etc., which invarl- ably increase the difficulty even if in some cases they do give slight tenn porary relief. Such treatment of the stomach simply makes matters worse.

ORC BLANCO MINING.
Promising Outlook for the Guiias
 Gold District.

Says the Star: Parties ill from Gro Blanco speak encouragingly of the country thereabouts The mineral prospects of that section were never more promising 2ni cattle interests never looked better. The old grass is still on the ranges and the new grass coming up makes feed doubly good.
 The Guijas Gold Mining company of which there has been considerable talk of late, is still pushing developments with satisfactory results. The prop erty is now opened up to a depth of 100 feet and an ore body of nearly solid pyrites exposed. These pyrites carry a heavy percentage in gold some running as high as S1,1uO to the ton. Two hundred tons of high grade ore are now on the dump.
 The Golden Star property adjoining the Grant group is pleasantly surpris- ing it's owners. A crosscut to cut the main ledge has been driven 15O feet and the ledge when cut fully jus s5ified d all expectations. A tunnel has been driven along the vein for 250 feet and the ore demonstrated to be of like character to it's famous Grant neigh for. A sample of five tons of unas- sorted ore shipped to Fl Pasof gave an average value of S35 per ton in geld.
 The Velvet group, west of the Golden Star, and also a continuation of the Grant group lodges, is also in process of development and showing up we'll in free gold. Assays running as high as $500 per ton in gold are of frequent occurrence.
 The general belief is that the Guijas district is fast coming to be recognized as one of the most promising gold dis tricts in southern Arizona Develop ments thus far made carry with them an assurance that the ores go down. The ore in character is pyritic as depth is attained, but the gold is easy of extraction and the grade of the ore is almost universally high.

NUGGETS FROM THE HILLS.

Major John Reese from the Santa Maria reports a great deal of mining development work going on in that section.
 John Kelso has secured a 200 foot contract from A. M. Welles at Tur- Guoise, south of Pearce, and has en- ployed ten men to go to work at once.
 William Johnson, formerly of the Gold Cliff at Pearce, was in Bisbee Wednesday from Tombstone MT. Johnson has some copper prospects there and is to work them.
 W. B. Gerard was to start his mill in Lost Gulch, near Globe, on Monday, for a test run of 200 tons of ore. Mr. Gerard is negotiating for the sale of his mines which are regarded as good property.
 J. M. Isgrig, superintendent of the Mammon mine, south of Casa Grande, represents the Turning Point mine, adjoining the old Jack Rabbit prop erty, in active operation. Large bod ies of gold and silver ore have been opened up and a mill is shortly to be put in. The property is owned by St. Louis people.
 MT. Heil Hale from the Blue Jay mine in Pima county reports having struck several good ore bodies. Four men are employed and all are working in ore. Seven tons are now on the dump that are expected to bring the company about thousand dollars Unfortu- nately the ore is pockety, but the in dications are that on greater depth being attained solid formation will be struck.
 A letter from s. A. Taught, Jr., of Rye, Gila county, gives information of the discovery of two coal beds on Eos sil creek, near the surveyed line of the old Arizona Mineral Belt railroad. The two coal seams are about sixty feet apart, one being twenty inches thick and the other about four feet. The coal burns well and looks to be Of first class quality. The discOverers are Fred Pranty and David Gowan.- Silver Belt.
 MT. John W. Mackay, his private secretary, R. V. Dey, and Manager Payne returned from the Grand Reel mine Friday evening. MT. Fillmore, manager of the Pacific system Of the Southern Pacific company, who was returning from an official trip to Fl Paso, had his car side tracked here until the arrival of train No. 20 and spent the intervening time in social conference with MT. Mackay, who left Saturday morning for New York. That MT. Mackay was pleased with the Grand Reef goes without saying. The power drills are now in over three hundred feet and the mine will be thoroughly exploited before reduction works are erected. MT. Payne is highly complimented for his able man. agement of the mine-Range News.

What the stomach wants is rest. Now how can the stomach become rested. recuperated and at the same time. the body nourished and sustained?
 This is the great secret and this is also the secret of the uniform success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is comparatively new remedy, but it's success and popularity leaves no doubt as to it's merits
 The tablets will digest the food any way, regardless of condition of stom- ach.
 The sufferer from dyspepsia accord ing to directions is to eat an abun- dance of good, wholesome food and use the tablets before and after each meal and the result will be that the food will be digested no matter how bad your dyspepsia may be, because, as be- fore stated, the tablets will digest the food even if the stomach is wholly in active. To illustrate our meaning plainly. if you take 1,SOO grains of meat, eggs or ordinary food and place it in a temperature of 9S degrees, and put with it one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets it will digest the meat or eggs almost as perfectly as if the meat was enclosed within the stomach,
 The stomach may be ever so weak, yet these tablets will perform the work of digestion and the body and brain will be properly nourished and at the same time a radical, lasting cure of dyspepsia will be made because the much abused stomach will be given, to some extent, much needed rest. Your druggist will tell you that of the many remedies advertised to cure dys- pepsia none of them has given so com plete and general satisfaction as Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets and not least in importance in these hard times is the fact that they are also the cheapest and give the most good for the least money.
