Ouray, Colo, Feb. 5.-To-day,s re-
port from the Governor mine in the
Mount Sneffels district, indicates that
the Governor mine will provo the rich
est ever opened up in the San Juan
country. The permanence of the vein
has been determined without q doubt
and at tho first stage of development
shows a width OF five feet three inches
and assays of ore taken to-day from
across the full width of the vein show
over Ave thousand ounces of silver,
eightythrse ounces in gold and sufficient
lead and copper to pay all mining and
developing charges. Old miners say
that the ore is undoubtedly the richest
ever uncovered in the San Juan country
and it is generally believed in mining
circles to be one that will excel Thomas

To the Afflicted I:

Although have been more or less in
terested in the pathological condition
known as "goitre," or enlarged neck, on
account of it's unsightly appearance and
the great distress which it occasions, L
did not become deeply Interested in the
subject until during the summer OF 1886,
when my cousin, Mrs. L. II. Earl, OF
Darlington, Wisconsin. brought to me
her daughter, beautiful young lady,
suffering with the disease, with the as
sertion that she had consulted the most
eminent physicians of the United States,
Thereupon resolved that il it were pos
sible would find out the cause and it
might be the remedy. With this deter
mination at once set to work, but being
convinced that the text books were all at
fault as to the cause, 1 undertook series
of observations entirely Independent of
any theory whatever-simply to study
the disease as found it. This was fol-
lowed up very closely for several years,
until became 30 interested that deter
mined to visit Switzerland, where the
disease is very prevalent, that l might
have a much larger field OF observation.
This did in $780, with the result that l
not only found the cause OF the disease,
but alse the remedy. Returning home
l Immediately began treating the young
lady mentioned, who soon showed
marked signs of improvement, which
resulted in a complete cure. From that
time to this have treated a great many
cases and have not failed to cure in a
single instance undertaken. Indeed, 30
positive am of curing the disease that
l will contract to return every cent paid
me for treatment, in case of failure, and
in this instance it does not require an ex-
pert to decide whether a cure has been Of
fected or not, as it is patent to the most
casual observer.
The above terms apply to all cases
which accept for treatment.

GIRL DISAPPEARS
The Fourteen Year Old Daughter
of P. Shurts Leaves Home in a
MYSTERIOUS Manner.


The officers Of the law are hot on the
trail of q young girl who disappeared
from this city ON Tuesday night the 9th.
1t ID said by some that che disappeared
with man who has worked in this city
for some time posi- and who was seen
with her on the night of her disappear
ance, at the Union depot near the hour
of midnight.
The name of the young girl who dis
appeared is Blanche Shurts, whose age
is about fifteen. She was rather nice
looking girl, judging from the state
ments of her friends in this city and she
has been out with the man, whom it is
asserted, she disappeared with quite fire.
quently Of late.
According to the story OF her father,
which was given to a Sentinel reporter
this afternoon, she was sent on an errand
after supper on Tuesday night, a. near
rs he can remember, about ten minutes
after seven. She did not return and
nothing was thought Of tho matter until
about ten o'clock, the PARENTS thinking
that she was at the home of some of her
friends or at one of the neighbors. AT
that hour her father, P. Shurts, and his
grown up son. Adelbert, started out in
quest Of her, but they could not find her.
Wednesday morning the disappearance
was reported to che city marshal's Office
and also to Sheriff Wallace.
P. Shurts and family reside in the lit
tie frame building on the north side Of
Colorado avenue, between Fifth and
Sixth streets. he il the father Of seven
children and makes living by freight
ing. Lately he has been employed by
Chris 0'Neil in hauling coal. He says
that the man WHOM they think she left
the city with has been paying the girl a
great deal of attention lately and it is
their opinion that he has bsguiled her
away from her home.
Yesterday at noon a drop letter was re-
ceived from the young woman through
the postoffice, which was mailed here in
the city yesterday morning, saying that
she had gone to her homo at Vernal,
Utah, but they disbelieve the contents of
the letter as it was mailed in the city,
showing tho girl has some confederate
who has mailed tho letter and is en-
desvoring to throw the parents off the
track.
The father stated this afternoon that
the girl assigned as a reason for her dis
appearance that she had not been treat ed
we'll at her home for the past three or
four weeks; but this, he says, cannot be
true, as she was always treated like any
of the rest OF the family.
The mans name is withheld because
it is hoped that he can be located with
the girl, as she has certainly been in
weighed away by this man, who is old
enough to be her father.
