Deafness canaot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot, reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, ard that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused-by an in. famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustschian Tube. When this tube is infamed you have D rumbiing sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases ont of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition. of the mucous surfaces.

The San Pedro LumbsrComoacv.

The TRIBUNE contains this week m attractive advertisement of the above company, which is the most cxtensive lumber dealer on the Pacific coast. The general manager of the company is MT. |. ". Blinn, whose name has for years been household word in the lumber business in Arizona. Some time ago he dissolved connection with the retail firm which bears his name, and is now sdevoting his entire time and attention to the iobbing and car load trade as represented by the wholesale yards ut San Pedro. These yards are by far the fergest on the coast, having fully quarter of a mile water front in the harbor, where vessels may at all times ebe seen un- loading. In addition there is also the largest mill on the coast, up to date with the latest improved machinery. Facilities are so complete that com petition is not feared, and prospective purchasers of carload lots are invited to obtain prices. From an acquaint- ance of many years with Mr. Bliun. the TRIBUNE has no hesitsaey in recon meuding the company'he now repre- sents. The mining ufen 'of'our county ean probably make money by eefrss bonding with him, as he makes mining timbers & speeiaaty.

FLORENCE AWAKENING
4 MIMIC BOOM IS ON, AND RAIL
 R0ADs PROMISED.
1 Namsef of Sales Of Mining Propert, Effected and Active Development
 Work Progressing.

The mining boom near Florence has evidently come to stay. Three camps, out ten to twelve miles from the town, ere already established and about twenty-five men are now at work. The-sound of the pick and the drill has replaced thatof the melodious coyote. The basin of copper is one of the largest and richest, according to the opinion of experts now on the ground, that has yet been discovered in Ari- zona.
 Mr. J. R. Mclean, of Boston, Mass, has bought the Harris, Neesom and Cochran group of six claims and two -ill sites inst below tho mouth Mineral Creek, for the Newport ana Arizona Copper and Gold Mining com- paDy ,vhose offices are 60 State Street Hostou, Mass. aud Florence, Arizona. Il is joint stock company, and they willBt once commence extensive work ing on the property, which is one of the richest in Arizona and doubly valuable from the fact that it adjoins the property of the great Ray Copper company, who have now over 300 men at work and who will also build rail read through the property. Mir. Mclean and President. Hill held con ference last week in which the right of way was granted the Ray company by Mir. Mclean.
 Messrs. Chittenden and Ladd, of Washington, D. O., have purchased a group of four claims. from Messrs. Stone, Harris and McGee, cash down. The claims are just below the Buttes, only ten miles above Florence. Ex- pert Corbett, who recently sold a group in the same locality to New York capitalists, has a force of ten men now at work developing them.
 Chittenden and Ladd purchased also a group of six claims from Charles Hardy and Joseph Mulhatton on the south side of the Gila river, opposite the Bu.tes, and have a. force of men now at work on them. It is rumored that five thousand dollars, part cash and short time, was tine consideration.
 Smith and McNamara have pur- chased group of four claims from District Attorney Stone near those of Mulhatton and Hardy and have force of men taking out very rich ore which taey are now saeaing Tor shipment. Ar Smith is wealthy real estate axnsr and mining mar from Los An- geles, is totally blind, yet knows 3 good thing in the way of a mine when he SIZES it.
 ] Mr McNamara and his good looking assistant Mir. Davenport have opened an assay office in Florence, with the most complete and modern assay. out fit ever brought to the town.
 The old town is. once more awaken ing to the old time activity of the palmy days of the Silver King. The big teams of Shields & Price and others are moving vast quantities of freight from Casa Grande to. the Ray mines. The hotels are filled with mining men going to and from the great copper fields. There is g perceptible advance in real estate 1T view of the near approach of rail road, and spirit of enterprise hs' taken the place of the lethargy of [ few months ago. The outlook fo, Florence.and Piual county was neve brighter.

A Great English State smen's Secret


 The secret of celebrated English statesmal's long life was his systena- tic way of eating. Every bite of food was ehewed thirty times before swal- lowing. The result was he naturally enjoyed good health. Most men and women bolt their food, and eat things which were never intended to be eaten. They become costive, have bad conn plection, lose flesh, are irritable and nervous, and the first thing they know they are played out" It is gratifying to know that Hostetter's Bitters cures stomach troubles. It is purely vegetable medicine that has stood the test of many years. It cures cases which seem to be hopeless Sufferers from any disorder of stomach liver cr bowels should try it.

The American people are surely be-
coming more refined race. Only a
few years ago prize fight could be
looked upon as Il source of amusement
even in New England and no one was
molested. Only short time since the
fists were too tame for our western
friends and six shooters were daily
reso1ted to to effect settlement in the
disputes of good citizens. Times have
changed now for even in far away Ore.
gon John l.. Sullivan had to sneak out
concealed in an engine cab. At this
rate prize fighters will follow in the
trail of the lost red men whom civiliz-
alton has either driven into the Pacific
or corralled in the cactus brush of
land unfit for any other purpose.
