CAUSES OF DEAFNESS.
The Most Common Cause Only Recent
Discovered.


The Most Common Cause Only Recently
Discovered.
1t has been stated on good medical atl-
thority that nine -tenths Of cases of deaf
ness are caused from catarrh or from
sore throat trouble.
The little tube which leads to the ear
from the throat is lined with a sort of
velvety structure called mucous men,
brane. This membrane is simply a con-
tinuation of the mucous membrane lining
the throat When disease Of any sort at
tacks the mucous membrane of the throat
it is very liable to extend into the Eusta-
chan tube and up into the ear.
The history of neary al cases of deaf
ness is like this; cold is contracted and
neglected other colds are taken, the
throat becomes sore and inflamed, which
is aggravated by particle. OF dust and
germs from the air. This condition cause
the disease to spread into the tube that
leads to the ear.
It seems a little far fet .hcd to say that
most cases Of deafness are caused from
catarrh, bu. i is '-rtainly true, and any
one who has had a severe catarrhal cold
must have noticed how the hearing was
effected while the cold lasted.
With catarrh sufferers this impairment
Of hearing benomes chronic and grows
worse the longer the catarrh is neglected.
You can cure catarrh and deafness by
the regular use of an excellent new prep
I: ration called Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
composed of antiseptic remedies which
act both on the mucous membranes but
Principally and most efectually on the
blood, elm mating the catarrhal poison
from the system.
People whose hearing is defective may
think it a little remarkable that SIM
pie and harmless tablet would very Of
ten remove all traces of deafness, but
when it is remembered that catarrl
CO SEES the deafness and that the ca
tarrh is easily cured by the regular use
Of Stuart's alta Tablets there is no
mystery about it.
If you are subject to nasal catarrh or
catarrh Of throat, bronchial tubes or ca
tarrh Of stomach and live the safest and
most effective treatment is the new ca
tarrh specific, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
sold by all druggists at 20 cents for full
sized package.

THE GL0RIETA MINING DISTRICT.
Five Copper Claims Located by Cleveland
Capitalists--Fine Surface Showing in
Copper, Running II IL Per Cent.

j. Fl. Hemler of Cleveland, Ohio, who
has been for several months in the
Macho mining district in this county,
developing some mining properties and
who represents Cleveland, o., capital
lists, and J. Fl. Harney, mining ex-
pert and practical miner, who has had
about 25 years experience in the Black
Hills in Montana, in Colorado, Cali
fornia and other mining states, have
located five claims in the Glorieta dis
half miles northwest of Glorieta and
near the Cunningham copper property,
which Is down about so feet and max
ing very good showing of copper ore.
The claims located by Messrs. Hemler
and Harney with whom is associated
J. H. Bullock, practical miner, are
the Cleveland, the Jo, Red Ribbon and
two others. Assays from these claims
show a small percentage in gold and
silver and II 1-2 per cent in copper
The ore samples from which these as
says We're made were taken from the
outcroppings of the claims. Mr.. Bullock
is now at work with a force of men
prospecting these claims thoroughly
and getting ready to do the assessment
work on them. He Is sanguine that
upon development the claims will
prove to contain high grade copper
ore. Messrs. Hemler and Harney are
in the city today and have had the To-
cation notices of these five claims rec
orded in the county clerks office. II
upon development and doing assess
ment work on these claims their eX-
pectations are realized as to the value
Of the ores contained in the veins they
propose to put large force of men at
work and make these claims yield what
there Is in them. Messrs. Hemler and
Harney figure that If the average of
the ore in the veins, which are said to
be quite extensive, ranges Is per cent
in copper they can afford to ship to
the smelter and make a handsome
profit. They will have to haul their
ore product three and one-half miles
to Glorieta station, but they have not
yet decided which way to ship the
ores whether to Pueblo Colo, or the
smelter at Cerrillos, or the Ell Paso
smelters. They feel very much encour-
aged over the outlook and propose to
do systematic and thorough work on
these claims.
The prospecting and developments of
mineral claims in the northern part OF
Santa Fe county and from the city OF
Santa Fe to Glorieta and further east
and north is active and has been so
for several months. AS yet but SUPER
fetal work has been done as sufficient
time has not elapsed for big work. but
the prospects are very good and In
some cases excellent.
