America is Justly proud Of Charity Mar
tin. Much has been said of her Of late,
but too much space cannot be given an
American girl that has Won such fame in
SO short a time. Charity Martin was born
in Honghton. Michigan, and at an early
age showed marvellous musical qualifica-
tons. Her father, John 7. Martin. with
his family moved to the Black Hills when
Charity was but ten years of age. And
here her voice attracted the attention Of
the miners throughout that entire section
of the country, until she was known
throughout the land as the Black Hills
Nightingale. Her first study in Boston
at the Conservatives closely followed her
fifteenth anniversary, and while there her
wonderful voice. thoroughly skilled and
trained, was developed under John O'Neil.

BUYS A MEXICAN MINE.
II. C. BACORN A MEMBER OF TIE
PURCHASING SYNDICATE.

A letter from the far south brings news
that the ancient Siverijoa mine in the
State of Sinaloa. Mexico. has just passed
into the possession of an American syn
dictate, of which p. j. Donohue of Salt
Lake and II. c Bacorn of Montana are
members. the consideration $4,000, OF

adding that r. A.. ii. TaNs. general man

had received the purchase for the syndi-
cate.
The Siverijoa mine, said he. is one of
the most antique propositions of which
the Spaniards had control. Its location
and active operation dates as far back
as 1910. While the record shows that the
government alone derived as much as
S25. 900, 900 from it.
1t was operated. says Mr.. Donphuc for
0 100 years in the primitive manner
of the Spaniards, when. at a depth 0f 400
feet, water was encountered ard to this
they had to finally succumb. The work
ings at present are flooded. but with
modem machinery may be unwatered at
a cost of about $25. 900. The Mrxica1.s
sacrificed a hundred mules or more in the
effort to keep down the water With a
whip but gave it up. since Chat time
the Siverijoa mine has been abandoned.
The intention of the purchasers is to
install a modern pumping plant at an
early day and, getting the water under
control. begin active work underground.
The record at the government mint.
through which shipments were made.

FALLING HAIR STOPPED.
BALDNESS CURED BY DESTROYING
THE PARASITE GERM THAT
CAUSES IT.

Badness follows falling hair. falling
hair follows dandruff. and dandruff is the
result of a germ digging its way into the
scalp to the root of the hair, where it saps
the vitality of the hair. To destroy that
germ is to prevent as we'll as to cure
dandruff, falling hair, and, lastly. aid
ness. There is only one preparation
known to do that, Newbro's Herpicide,
an entirely new, scientific discovery.
Wherever it has been tried it has proven;
wonderfully successful. 1t can be other
wise. because it utterly destroys the
dandruff germ. You destroy the cause,
YOU remove the effect"
