M0RROW'S kID-NE-0iDS
Are n Wonderful Medicine for Nervous
Consultations.

Constitutions. ,
Most that makes people nervous is
lack of pure blood and plenty of it.
You let few drops of uric acid into
the blood and it destroys it as quickly
as so much sulphuric acid would.
With the blood destroyed. the
nerves have nothing to feed on. Then
they become jerky and twitchy and
unreliable. Then people find them
selves nervous. Nine out of every
ten % to taking nerve stimulants,
and they dull or deaGen them. Dur
ing this time the patient imagines
himself better. When the stimulant
wears off, the same state of nervous
ness returns. This operation is re-
peated time and again until the pa
tient breaks down.
We doctor the cause. When Won
take Morrow's Kid-ne-oids they stop
the production of uric acid and the
nerves get strong themselves. Frank
&. Canedy, who is stock clerk at Sech-
ler's Carriage works. Moline. and
resides nj S04 Fourth avenue. Rock
Island, says: Il was not feeling well
as nv system has been out of order
fer some time. | suffered with 4
sharp pain across my back. and all
was felt tired, more so in the morn
ing when l got up than at night when
going to bed. L went along this way
for some time, and as / had read
about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids 1 got
some and took them according to
directions. | was soon relieved and
have not experienced the same trouble
or feeling since. i believe that Kid
ne-oids are all that is claimed for
them. as they did me great deal of
good in n very short time
Now, if Morrow's Kid-ne-oids will
do this much for Mr.. Canedy why not
try them for yourself if annoyed with
nervousness, sleeplesness and any
form OF kidney disorder? Kid-ne-oids
cost only 80 cents I box, which is
enough for about two weeks treat
ment and will save you many bodily
aches and pains. Morrow's Kid-ne-
oids are yellow tablets, not pills.
YoI do not have to stop work while
taking them. They are for sale by
all first class druggists or mailed by

The Late Mr.. RosenfieId.

In the passing from the scenes of
earthly life of Norris Rosenfield, the
cities of Rock Island and Moline are
deprived of one of their foremost,
most representative citizens. Both
have lost equally in his demise. While
his residence was always in Rock Isl
and from the time of his coming to
America, his business interests dating
from the moment he EN- barked in the
enterprise which he placed among the
foremost industries were allied with
Moline. Hence he was essentially the
ideal twin-city man. And he was
true alike to both cities. He thought
rs much of one as he did the other,
and no circumstance would have given
him more sincere qualification than
the union of the two cities, as has
so often been discussed. \ great man
nfacturer and leading business man,
Mr.. Rosenfield was in many other re-
spects a citizen whose usefulness and
value to the community was con-
stantly felt. He was the first man
thought of in any great undertaking
in either city, and his advice and
counsel were as earnestly sought
as his influence and cooperation were
valued. No worthy enterprise failed
to enlist mis- support. He was broad
minded and public spirited, of kind
heart and generous impulse. Busy
as his life was. he was always cordial,
and those friendships that he formed
were staunch and lasting.

Charles II. Dckie of Baltimore arrived
here !ast week. and, through Manager
Hewett of the Basin Gold and Copper
Mining company, has secured an option
on the famous Hope mine, the price
agreed upon being 100000. Mr.. Dickle
has as days in which to make the first
payment of $780, providing everything
proves satisfactory to him at the end of
that time From that time on payments
will be made as follows $25O,00O at the
end of sixty days and the balance, $150,0GO
in ninety days. The Hope mine is unques-
tionably a property of great value, and is
destined to become one of the greatest
gold producers in the west. The present
owners are pushing the development
work in the mine ahead with great vigOr.
The 6O0-foot level has been reached in
the shaft, and now a l 5-fOot sump will
be sunk, after which a station will be cut
and a cross-cut driven to the lead. An
immense body of ore was found to exist
on the 500-fO level, and the company
confidently expects to find a continuation
of the same ore body on the 900.

MINES AND MINING
Mineral Title to Thomas Lode
Sold.
WILL PROSPECT FOR LEDGE
Supposed to Contain Silver and Gold
Ideal For the Hope at
Basin.
WILL PROSPECT FOR LEDGE

A deal for the mineral title to the
Thomas lode was cOnsummated in Butte
yesterday by which a New York syndi-
cate is said to have secured the right to
mine on that lode claim, which extends
from Missoula gulch almost to Main
street and takes in considerable valuable
ground in the business portion of the
city. The surface rights of all the lode
have been disposed of many years ago.
John A. Leggat was the owner of the
mineral title to the Thomas lode. No
on the property, and it attracted little or
no attention until a short time ago when
q strike was made on the Silver King.
The later claim adjoins the Thomas lode
on the west and it is claimed that the
Silver King lead, which is very rich in
silver and gold, passes diagonally east
and west through the Thomas lode.
The price paid for title to the property
was $4,000 and it is understood the par
ties who purchased it will turn it over
to New York capitalists for $4,000. The
leased to Curry & Co. who are sinking a
shaft in the hope Of striking the Silver
King lead. The property is not belleVeo
! to contain copper in paying quantities
but there is said to be a very large lead
running through it which may, after be-
| ing developed, prove to carry good values

THE COPPER MARKE {.

A prominent copper-p producing interest
is thus quoted by the Boston Financial
News: "The position of copper is GER
tainly remarkable. 1t is simply ques-
ton of demand and supply, and the de-
mand is not only sufficient to take care
of the production, but it has practically
eaten up the visible supply. Copper is
going direct to the manufacturer or con-
sumer; there is no middeman today in
copper.
II believe that the large producing
mines will average fully Is cents for their
copper delivered for the year 1899. 1t
must be remembered that while pro-
ducing companies are getting II to Is
cents for their copper today, they are still
delivering copper sold last October and
November at from u to 13 cents.
Most of the large mines, l think, are
sold ahead to May or June, and possibly
to July. I do not think that Is cents will
check the consumption of copper, though
20 cents might When general trade is
prosperous, even the man who constructs
a house or building feels that he can pay
a little more for his material.
"At the moment there is evidently a
panic among the buyers of copper, who
believe perhaps that if they do not pur-
chase now they will be obliged to pay 20
cents When this acute demand is salts
fed the price may fall off slightly

The hauling of the great accumulation
of tailings from the old Comet mill to the
Northern Pacific siding at High Ore for
shipment to the new works at East Hell
ena has been stopped for the present. An
experiment of a few weeks it is said, has
demonstrated that full values were not
being saved, and alterations in the plant
and process became necessary.
And now another promising property
is about to be added to the list of produc-
ing mines of the great Basin district-the
First Shot on Rocker creek. All the nee
essary development work having been
done, the leasers are now beginning to
take out ore for shipment.
1t is rumored that next spring Messrs
Higgens and Farrell will build a mill on
the Silversmith mine, the Galena gulch
property they have been developing un-
der lease and bond from Patrick Mullins.
James Davidson was out from Butte
this week looking a fter the work on the
Baltimore mine. He is confining his op-
erations to development work on this
mine during the winter months.
Work is going ahead steadily in the
Katie shaft, which has now reached a
depth of 400 feet.
