 Following closely on the heels of the big strike in the Crowned King mine, comes one in the Silver Trail mine, one of the Sundance group on the Hassay- ampa, near the Senator mine. For some reason or other the news of this strike has been kept concealed from the public, probably awaiting further development to ascertain how extensive it may prove It has, however, leaked out, and from reports, which seem to be authentic. the strike rivals that made in the Crowned King few weeks sgo. It was made at a depth of 220 feet, and the ore body, which is four feet wide, is said to be fabulously rich, although no values have been reported. The ore was first encountered about four days ago and it has continued both in size and quantity ever since. The Silver Trail mine has produced some very rich ore near the surface and has always been considered good property. It lies about mid way between the Howard mine which produced such rich ore near the. surface,, and the Senator, which has also produced thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of the shining metal. There are a score or two of other properties within distance of & few miles, which are being worked and which are now and have in the past been good gold producers.-Journal- Miner.

Rheumatism often causes the most in- tense suffering. Many have for years vainly sought relief from this disabling disease, and are to-day worse off than ever.
