The market during the past week showed
increased activity in the better class OF

Index" copper stocks are now going
East freely. TO meet a steadily increasing
demand. and a, the present rate the lint
ed amount OF stock that has been sold by
the leading companies for development
purposes viii have been absorbed. The
shipment OF ore from several of these
mines will preclude any further occasion
for selling treasury stock. Several car
loads Of ore will so forward 10 the smei.er
next week from the Sunset mine, and
shipments thereafter will be continuous.
Contracts for extensive development are
daily being made, and in many Instances
the miners prefer TO take stock in the
property fer their pay No more practical
evidence OF confidence In the future OF his
immense copper region could be asked.
There Is NOT a wild cat proposition on
the market from Index" as yet. and any
of the treasury stock now offered should
prove Il good investment. We confidently

Fishing for Health.

When a rian 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 ' :ndulges in all kinds of absurd athletic
 -ciscs. He tries first one climate and tn another. He tries the rest cure and the woTs; cure. He grows steadily worse.
 That Is the story of most corsuInptives. Finally. when the consumptive dies, the doctor shrrgs his shoulders and pronounces consumption incurable. A thirty years test Cf Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery has demonstrated that it cures oS per cent. of all cases of consumption, If taken in the earlier stages of the disease, before the lungs are too far wasted. In cousumptive there is a weaker spot than even the lungs. That spot is the stomach A consurptive never really begins to die until his stomach gives out. The Golden Medical Discovery not only braces up the stomach, but acts directly on the lungs, healing them and driving oCt all impurities. Honest medicine dealers will not urge you to take an inferior substitute.
 'I had a very bad cough also nightsweats and was airnos, in my grave with consum o.iou." writes Mrs Clara A. Mcintyre, Box I7I. Ash land. Niddlescx Co. Mass. A friend of mine . dream and tod me to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. and. thank the lord, did %. By the time had taken half Cf the first bottle felt much better. lep, on until had taken three bottles. That was all l needed l got well ard strong again"
 Whenever constipation is one of the con- plicating causes of disease. the most perfect remedy is Dr. Picrce's Pleasant Pellets. which are always effective yet absolutely mild and harmless There never was any remedy invented which can take iheI place. They never sripe.

This claims that the project of state cession is advocated in Arizona Snly by two or three nswspa peTs which are known to be working ia a certain interests, and as there is a large amount of money at stake on the one side, and only the general good of tue public on the other, !he people of Arizona ie ar that the scheme may possibly be successful in the end.

A DOG STORY
How a Vicious Dog Precipi-
 tated a Row

It is au old axiom that one of mans best friends ia his dog. It is also universally agreed that in many cases e dogs best friend is bic master. The lst,er. apr lies particularly to a certain dog who is owned by B. F. Smith, the we'll known Iancher. Mir. Smiths dog answers to the name of Bull-nct very poetic name, but there is also nothing poetic about the nature of the canine, for his pedigree shows him to come from a family of partic ularly ferocious bulldogs.
 Bull has belonged to . score O! owners, each pariiog ownership be- cause of the hereditary failing of the dog in evineing most ferocious and savage disposition on the slightest provocation. In his puppy Bull belonged to a Tombstone preacher. shortly after change of ownership: Bull proved recresut to his early Christian influence and bis Jackey Cowsn. . Tombstons youth. Jsckey'. father swore vengeance against the dog, bu, 1t was not until yesterday. nearly year since the biting incident and Bull meantime had . dozen different homes, that Cewan ST. had seen the dog or had opportunity to visit re- tribution on his ballship. Mir. Smith Aince coming into possession oi Bull has found him to te c very valuable watchdog al the ranch. and the dog has formed a warm attachment for his las. owner. Smith permitted the ucg to come to town with him bu., in justice to him, it may be stated he was unaware that Bull was "wAnted' her e for o6enses committed. Shortly after his arrival, however, Smith discovered to his dismsy that Bull was held in bad rsPute. Cowsn, with the fire of vengeance awakened, was not long in finding Balls trail.
 What happened when A was dis covered that there was designs extsn on the life Of Bull, is not of record, bu, l subsequent events showed that . dozen or more residents of town were so on involved in 6 warm controversy of confused wrangle of words and crossfre of doGology. Happily TO TOW was precipitated; dog was the only theme discussed and all hands congregatsd were giving their opinions st once. IL is ssfe to say had Bull been turned loose ip the crowd the informal m eeting would have adjourn ed sine die. and all delegates beat a hasty retreat: instead the crowd con- tinued to grow and meanwhile some , one led Bull of to . secure hiding place where he will be kept prisoner | until Smith returns home and takes his dog with him. Mir Smith says he will never bring the dog to town again while Cowan still "hss tin" for Bull. Bull is unconscious of the trouble he precipitated but he owes his life to his protecting master.
