DRUGGISTS KEPT BUSY.

According to the druggists the grip epidemic
continues to spread in New-York. Only one Of
those seen last night took cheerful view Of
conditions. The general opinion seemed to be
that a continuance of the mild weather meant
the spread Of the disease. Cold weather and
plenty of it, the druggists said, was needed for
general return to health.
+. G. Schoonmaker, at Forty-seCond-st. and
Park-ave, the man who was hopeful He
said that judging from the business done over
his prescription counter, grip was on the de-
cline. Doggett & Ramsdell, In Thirty-fourth
St, near Fifth-ave. seemed to think that, al
though conditions were worse, yet there was
no improvement. They were as busy yesterday
they have been any other day this week
and could signs of a decrease. At VIII
sons, Sixth-ave. and Thirtyfourth-st., the chief
pessimist was found There 1t was declared
that the disease was spreading and would con-
tinue TO spread. Hegeman's Broadway and
Thirtieth-st.. held out hope. 1t was said there
that the grip not decreasing, but that 1t
seemed to have reached its height, and de-
cline in the prevalence of the disease could now
be looked for.

a.
DR.. S. Santoire, of No 14S Clinton-st.. Brook
lyn, said last evening that the grip in Brooklyn
was almost epidemic, and was complicated with
pneumonia. 1t had appeared in a mild form
and had not proved fatal in many cases, except
IN those complicated with pneumonia kidney
diseases or consumption Grip was more preva-
lent IN Brooklyn now than at any time since
1889 and 1890, when there was epidemic Of
the disease. In the winter of 1890 the doctor
treated about fifty cases a week, when there
were a greater number of deaths from the dis
ease than at present.
My theory of the prevalence of the grip at
this time" DR.. Santoire went on to say. is
that it is due to the soft winter, with its foggy
atmosphere, and the baciIli instead of being
frozen have developed. The only preventiVes
are precautions in wearing warm clothing. a
natural mode of life. regular meals and hours
OF sleep l am treating a young man who has
the grip confined to his intestines, caused by
neglecting his meals, and by irregular hours Of
sleep. There are undoubtedly many thousands
suffering from grip in Brooklyn. I have been
astonshed the number of who have
come to my office recently to be treated for the
grip, who had always enjoyed the best of health
The cause of grip is very indefinitely known
and traced We have never been able to seize
the proper bacillus to make a regular antitOXin
for it, and have to treat cases as they come along
with their complications they develop. Grip
for a who has the smallpox would be sure
death and grip complicated with pneumonia is
a very serious matter. Grip with diabetic
patient forms a serious complication, and in
grip is almost always fatal. It is apt to be
fatal to old age, but infancy is very seldom sub
ject to grip
DR.. Santoire added that the prevalence of grip
in NewYork might be due, in part, to the bad
condition Of the drinking water in the different
boroughs.

FORTUNES IN MINES.

selling it's first issue OF treasury shares II
i. no trouble at all to look back over the
field OF active operation and enumerate
hundreds OF companies that to own 1000
shares OF their stock would mean an in
come OF no small amount.
1000 shares OF Quincy or Tamarack
would insure an income OF nearly $1,000
per annum The same number OF shares
in the Calumet or Hecla would return
about $S5 900 annually.
The stock OF the Portland Mining Co.
bas paid dividends OF $S,S07 ,oSo, being
SS07 900 more than the entire capitaliza-
ton OF the company.
The Alaska Treadwell, with very
poor rock, pays $500 annually on each
1000 shares while the great .Homestske
OF South Dakota pays 5000.
As rule a company sells its first H.
sue Of treasury shares very cheap, 10 to
90 cent. per share; so il one estimates
from basis OF first cost he is receiving
all the way from 200 to 500 per cent on
his actual cash investment. For ex-
ample the lie Roi stock was sold for
about 95 cents per share when the mine
first started This stock Is now quoted
in London at s25. Isabella, OF Cripple
Greek, which sold as low as 10 cents or
isinslly is now worth 81 Is; that Is TO
sav, one could have bought 1000 shares
for 800; they are now worth $3.50, and
the mine has paid $450, 900 in dividends.
The buying OF treasury shares, when
they are being sold at discount by .
good reliable company owning promis-
irg property, is both profitable and
legitimate.
Tie Heppner Mining Co. has the very
best OF prospects, and the quartz from
It's ledges shows good values. The com
panys property is surrounded by mines
worth millions, ana is situated IN q
we.l-known mineral belt.
The men composing the Heppner

reason to believe that those who buy its
stock at the low price OF 10 cents share
