10 tons daily is worked A late purchase
to which not much Importance was at
first attached turns out Unexpectedly
rich, and is apparently the best claim
in the group of II which the company
owns. In this, the Ticonderoga,a body
of sulphide ore four and half feet
wide has just been opened, running
from $40 to $225. This strike is with
in forty feet of the mill and right in
the center of the town of Chaparal.
An adjoining claim, the Little Jessie,
was formerly worked under lease by
Frank Wright, an old Pasadenan, who
made 100000 out of it, and it was sold
last week for $350,O00. Mr.. Wright now
lives at Prescott and owns the entire
street car system of that city, as we'll

Ancient Fashion Jargon.

The language of the fashion plate
and the woman's paper is sufficiently
appalling to the mere man even In
these days Of emancipated and, we
may presume, more grammatical wom-
anhood, but, according to an extract
from fashion journal of 1851, the jar
gon of over century ago was even
more astounding. This is how the pa.
per described the dress Of certain
Mile. D. at the opera:
She appeared in a dress Of "stifed
sighs," ornanented with "superfuous
regrets" the bodice cut in perfect
candor" point and trimmed with Gin
discreet Complaints" Her hair was
dressed ii Sustained sentiments"
with headdress of Sustained con-
quest" ornamented with several ely
aways' and "downcast eye" ribbons,
and her collar was "beggar on horse
back" color.
No doubt all these marvellous terms
conveyed some meaning to the fash
ionable woman Of The days when
French society danced on the edge of
the volcano of 1889, but to their de-
scendants Of hundred years later
they have absolutely no meaning.-San

way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-

you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear

the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
