On every hand are heard express
sions of approval. not only of the sug-
gestion made by The ARGUS that the
entire system of operation of the
waterworks pumping station and
filter be investigated, but that steps
be taken looking to the removal of
the plant from politics entirely. The
present state of affairs illustrates the
worst possible phase of a situation
developed entirely through partisan
ship. When May or McConochie went
into office little less than two years
ago, it will be remem bered that
the council opposed his wholesale
removal of appointive officers then
serving. and it became necessary for
the mayor to file charges against
those whom be desired to supersede
in order to make room for his pets.
The change at the waterworks was
one of the ones most vigorously
fought, not only because the manage
ment of the plant was above re-
proach, but because the city had just
inaugurated its reservoir and filter
ing plant and it was felt that 1t would
be advantageous. until it was in
operation at least, to have the benefit

ANOTHER RICH STRIKE

RADIO Mining.
The following from the Denver
Times will be read with interest here:
Idaho sSprings, March 2O.-A good
strike has just been made by the
Mary j. Mining company in the De-
lesseps mine, located in ellison gulch.
Some shots were put into the hanging
wall with the result that much bet
ter grade of mineral was encountered.
The ore runs $42 gold, $1OsC silver
and so per GEM lead. This streak is
10 inches wide where first encoun-
tered, but holes yesterday proved it to
be wider farther into the hill. This,
however, is not the only streak on the
vein. A wide body of mill ore was
followed and at the breast it measures
six feet across. This mill ore has
proved continuous for $50 feet.
The Delesseps is one of the old-time
locations on Seaton mountain. One
good pocket of ore was stopped and
then the mill ore came in and the
production was mainly of that grade.
A junction of cross lodes gave the
better values. The drift was con-
tinued ahead on the big vein, but there
was no change from the lower grade
ore. A short time ago Thomas H..
Dougherty and associates, of Rock
Island, ILL.,, secured the property and
began plans for development A
close examination of the walls con-
WINGED the manager that that hanging
wall had not been found. He then
started prosecuting for it and opene1
into ore which had never been found by
the former operatives. Since first
prosecuting the company has put in
holes and disclosed the ore for a
length of so feet. Development will
continue and the drift will be changed
to the higher grade ore instead of fol-
lowing the wide body of milling ore.
1t is the intention to also sink on the
vein, all work heretofore having been
carried on through the level.
The Delesseps is one of the big
veins lying to the east of the New
house tunnel about the length of one
claim. If not on the big vein cut in
the tunnel, then it doubtless helps
make the wide body of ore cut there.

of the knowledge the then superin-
tendent had of the added plant.
But the waterworks superintendent
cy was one of the places that the
mayor was set upon giving to one of
his particular pets, and no compro-
mise would be considered that did not
involve tie change he desired at the
waterworks in particular. The con-
sequence was Insignificant charges
were trumped up against the super
intendent then serving and the expert
enced man had to give way to an I'M
known quantity-and the people have
had the result.
The condition of the water that is
drawn from hydrants about town to-
day indicates how little the filters are
in operation, and one object of the
investigation desired is to ascertain
when last the filtering plant was used
and to what extent, and how far the
present management of the water
works is competent to operate the
filtering plant properly-and for that
matter how much it knows about the
waterworks in general.

THE HEALTH HABIT.

just as Easy to Form as Any Other.
We do not deliberately form our
pet habits, but they are unconsciously
acquired and grow as we grow, and
by the time we learn they are hurting
us, we find them too strong to be
easily broken.
Then, why not form good habit,
habit which will counterfeit the
many bad ones, in other words con-
tract the questionable habit of being
always well.
The best health habit to get into is
to have and keep a vigorous stomach;
if you have a healthy digestion you
can drink your beloved coffee. smoke
your favorite brand of tobacco with
little or no harm; the mischief begins
when these things are forced upon the
faithful stomachs without any assist
ance.
Form the habit of taking after meals
some harmless but efficient digestive
which will relieve the stomach of so
much extra work.
Nature furnishes US with such di-
gestives and when they are combined
in such a pleasant preparation as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, they give
the overworked stomach Just the nee
essary assistance to secure perfect
digestion without any of the harmful
effects of cathartics and similar drugs.
The habit of taking Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets after meals is as neces-
sary to the weak stomach as food it.
self. and indeed to get the benefit
from food eaten, nothing better and
certainly nothing safer can be used.
Many families consider Stuart's
Tablets as essential in the house as
knives and forks.
They consist entirely of natural
digestive principles without the effect
or characteristics of drugs; they have
no cathartic action, but simply 60 to
work on the food eaten and digest it.
Take into account your bad habits
and the expense they entail and
then invest so cents in a box of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and see if
your digestion for the next month is
not vastly improved.
Ask the clerk in any drug store the
name of the most successful popular
stomach remedy and he win say
Stuart's.
