A MAN
LOST.

Lost! No man understands the full
meaning of that word like the man who
has been lost. He will tell you: 81 was
in the woods going ahead steadily when
l realized I'd missed the trail. With a
cry of 'Lost!' l broke into a run heed
less or ignorant of the direction l was
going"
The first impulse of a man lost in the
woods is to run. The only safe thing is
to sit right down and reason out the
position.
Sometimes a business man gets up at the
usual hour, breakfasts, kisses his wife and
starts for the Office. He has for some
time seen signs that he was off the trail
of health. To-day the signs multiply.
His brain is dull and dizzy, his heart
does not beat right, his breathing is DIFF
hcult, his limbs feel trenulous. He is
scared. He realizes that he's far away
from the trail of health, and suddenly
like a panther from a tree, the thought
leaps on him, "You are a lost man."
The first impulse is to run for help,
though the way is honey-conbed with
pitfalls of quackery. But the rational
; man faces the facts, sits down and
thinks over the position and its proba-
bilities.
That is the man we want to talk to.
Disease in almost any form is gen.
orally accompanied by the failure Of the
organs of digestion and nutrition. Re.
establish these organs in healthy action
the blood is at ono enriched, the body
nourished and the general health re-
stored. This result is invariably ac-
complished by DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. 1t is a stomach-strength-
ening, erve-nourishing, matchmaking,
blood-purifying medicine. 1t has cured
thousands who thought their health
entirely lost. The Discovery" is not
a stimulant and contains no alcohol OF
whisky. Sold at all medicine stores.

Is IT RIGHT
For An Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines2

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevar, N. G.
1t may be a question whether the edi-
tor of a newspaper has the right to pub
licly recommend any of the various pro-
prietary medicines which flood the mar
ket, yet as a preventive of suffering we
feel it a duty to say a good word for
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family for 20
years and have always found it reliable.
In many cases a dose of this remedy
would save hours of suffering while a
physician is awaited. We do not believe
in depending implicitly on any medicine
for a cure, but we do believe that if a
bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Rem
edy were kept on hand and administered
at the inception of an attack much suf-
fering might be avoided and in very
many cases the presence of a physician
would not be required. Atleast this has
been our experience during the past 20
years. For sale by A. G. Ireland.

COAL and IRON.
The Supply in 0tero County Pronounced
Large 0v One VIII Investigated.

We had heard it stated that the coal
supply at Salado, or Gray, was in very
limited quantities. We can say without
fear of successful contradiction that the
Salado coal deposit is the largest and of
the best quality in New Mexico, and we
speak with a full knowledge and reallza-
ton of the magnitude of che statement,
says the Ell Paso Times.
The coal beds so far prospected cover
an area Of several square miles, there
being three measures varying from five
feet six inches to ten feet in thickness.
The general formation of the country
belongs to the cretaceous period, and the
coal has first-class cooking qualities, and
for steam purposes can not be eXcelled.
The mines are being opened up in first
class shape by the New Mexico Fuel
company, who are now working owe 40
men getting things in readiness for the
| coming of the railroad and about 800
tons of coal is now on the dump ready to
be transported to market. Two slopes
are now being opened up and slope No.
/ is now down about 400 feet In good
coal. The cap rock is sandstone, the
| surface next to the coal being as smooth
as a board, not even requiring timbers
to support the roof in many places. Be
| tween the sandstone and the coal vein
there is a very thin sheet of slate. The
coal is clean and free from dirt or dust,
and will be a favorite in the Ell Paso
market for this reason as well as its
cheapness. The plans around the mines
are for the erection of more than 200
coke ovens in the near future. When
| these coal mines are made accessible to
Ell Paso and Mexico points the price of
coal can be reduced atleast one-half and
then leave a handsome profit for the
New Mexico Fuel company. There is
coal at Salado OF the best quality and the
supply will not be exhausted for many
generations yet to be born.
Coal is not all the natural resources
around Salado. Immediately adjoining
the coal fields on the east are immense
hills of iron ore that runs GA per cent in
iron, thus making the location of iron
furnaces here Il foregone conclusion.
Ell Paso may have the steel works and
%foundrics, but Salado will furnish the
supply of pig iron, for here she has the
ores and all the other elements that are
required to make the pig iron.
