When man breaks down with that
dread disease, consumption, and recognizes
his condition, he starts out to fish for
health. He tries this thing and that thing
He consults this doctor and that doctor.
He INDUCES in all kinds of absurd athletic

then another. He tries the rest cure and
the work cure. He grows steadily worse
That is the story of most consumptives.
Finally, when the cOT1Surnptive dies, the
doctor strugS his shoulders and pronounces
consumption incurable. A thirty years
test of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery has demonstrated that it cures %
per cent of all cases of consumption, if
taken in the earlier stages of the disease,

even the lungs. That spot is the stomach.
A consumpt1ve never really begins to die

From your conversations with Barns
who did you understood was to get his
property?
1 always understood that it was to go
to Lamb and the girls.
The cross questioning was brief and
uuimportant in it's results.
Judge Coldwell took the witness
stand and testified to receiving a
packet of letters from Lambs attor-
ney at Dublin. The letters were pre-
sumably sent to Lamb by Burns, and
among them was the letter Roach testi-
fed to having written at Burns's dicta-
ton, but laid aside and another substi-
tuted for it and mailed.
Mr.. Coldwell wanted to introduce
this discarded letter as evidence to
show the condition of Burns's senti-
ments toward his relatives at the time
he dictated 1t.
Roach's testimony concerning the
letter was read to the court by Mr..
Harvey from his shorthand notes
taken at the county court trial. The
contestee's attorneys objected and the
point was argued at great length by
all the attorneys. Attorney Turney
made lucid and forceful address and
Coldwell with his usual persistence
and energy insisted upon the letter be.
ing admitted. The other attorneys
spoke briefly and to the point. The
Judge took the matter under advise
ment and court adjourned until this
morning.

Mining Country.
MINING IN ALAMO CANON.

In Alamo canon, four miles south
east of Alamogordo, initial work has
been done on several copper properties,
and q vast stratum of onyx OF very fine
quality. Comparatively little develop
ment work has been accomplished on
these claims as locatOrs thereof are
men of small means, and are inter-
rupted in their work by financial
stress. Hill and Ruark have located
one claim in which iron predominstes,
carrying some gold; another. 2Z inch
lead, of copper bearing silver.
Mr.. Crozier has claim OF copper
bearing silver, and Alexander & Co.
have an onyx claim of unknown dimen-
sions, and yielding very beautiful
variegated stone.
1t is believed by prospectors that
large values will be uncovered when
capital is invested in the alamo
mining district" by men skilled IN
mining. If assays have been made
bolders of certificates are quiet as to
present and prospective values, but
look wise and well satisfied that they
"bold something good" In this new
district, which seems to be OF large
area, prospectors are busy and are
locating claims in what they predict
will be a very rich mining camp in the
near future.

"Lamb and daughters; he said that

what was the trouble between him and

Burns estate and all he wanted out of
it was what was owing to him. 1 told
him he could easily get that.
