The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreadful disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrah. Halls Catarrah Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrah being a constitutional dis ease, requires constitutional treat ment. Hall's Catarrah cure is taken internally, acting dire ,tly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the found ations of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing it's work The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

THE URES DISTRICT.


 west side in that of Batuc,
 In the Suaqui region are the mines Fl Progreso, La Fortuna, La Colorado, and others. Fl Pro- greso has the making of a great mine. Its ledge is large and we'll defined, and it has yelded some very rich ores. Samples have gone as high as I3,ooo ounces of silver and twelve ounces of gold per ton. One piece of the ore which weighed goo pounds was sent to the Paris Expo. sltion and put upon exhibition. It was afterward broken up and treat ed and yielded goo ounces of silver and two ounces of gold.
 Some eighteen months ago an American company took bond upon Fl Progreso, paying at the time SIo,ooo aud having year in which to pay the remainder of SIoo, GOO; but in short time after the first payment they got to quar- reling amondg themselves and dropped the deal iorefeiting the $Io, 900 they had paid. The owners are desirous of selling the property to strong company which will de- velop it; because they believe that such an outcome would greatly en- Aance the values of other properties they have in the vicinity.
 La Fortuna, La Colorado and other mines in the vicinity are being worked by their owners, and the ores reduced by small lux iviation plant owned and operated by MT. Pablo Os,erman, at Fl Ca ion, within the same jurisdiction. MT. Osterman Is also interested in some very promising mines in the vicinity.
 Upon the Batuc side of the Lista Blanca range. and in that jurisdic- tion are the San Francisco. Santa Certrudis, Fl Porvenir and other properties which are being con- stantly worked with good results.
 A small lixiviation plant is in operation at Batuc and the ores from these mines are reduced there, yielding goodly returns. The own CTS are of limited capital and work the mines in a small scale In the hands of big company, with ex- tensive machinery and worked upon scale of corresponding mag nitude they could be made to pay very handsomely.
 In this same vicinity is large, undeveloped deposit of quicksilver, owned by MT. F. c. Aguilar of Ures. The original denounce- ment of forty pertenencias, was worked in a crude way several years ago and with very good re- suits although with the primitive appliances employed for reduction of the ores fully fifty per cent of the value they contained escaped. That property is named La Esperanza. Mir. Aguilar has recently denounc- ed an extencion of La Esperanza, which he has named the New Al madep. It includes 100 perten- encias. It is believed that the de- velopment will prove the property ot great value.
 In the Matape jurisdiction are the Colorado Ures, Chipiona and other properties. The Colorado Ures mine is owned and operated by the Mexican Gold & Silver Re covery Co.,, who are reducing the ores Tn lead smelter, recently erected, which includes all the latest and most approved furnace appliances. The ore body is ex- fensive and well develoDed and |
