DANGEROUS sGNORANcE.

Next to the danger of a wonlan's ignorance of her own needs is the danger of ignorance in the treatment of her diseases. That such ignorance abounds IS shown by the testimonials published by permission, and often by request of grateful women who wish other sufferers to know the way to health
 The result of this ignorance is that women suffer for years, going from practitioner to another, trying various medicines, snatchng vainly at every straw in their desperate desire for help and healing
 It is the cure of such women, suffering from dis eases of long standing-diseases which have bafied all physicians and defed all treatments-which has placed Dr. Pierce's Favore Prescription i'll the very front of all put-up medicines designed for the cure

What Makes Women Weak :?

The chief contributing cause to woman's weak ness and ill-heath is her ignorance ot the important truth that a womans general health depends upon the local womanly health. If women knew and understood this fact they would not attempt the impossible feat of developing the general health while ignoring unhealthy local conditions. Money is wasted in vdoctoring" for headache, backache, nervousness sleeplessness and other ills familiar to women if the treatment of these diseases does not cure the primary disturbing cause-dlsease ot the delicate womanly organs. It is of course possible that there may be general -health i'll spite ot sound local health But 1t is absolutely impossible that the general health can be good when there are disagreeable and unhealthy drains, inflammation alteration or female weakness. The first step to sound health is to cure these diseases, and the quickest and surest cure of womanly diseases IS accomplished by the of Dr. Pierce's Favorlte Prescription.

SOONER SUFFER THAN sURssfT.'' .''

That is the sentiment of many woman who knows the source of her suffering and yet shrinks from submitting to the offensive questonings, the indelicate examinations and the obnoxious local treatments considered necessary by some local phy- scians It is due to this cause that many ot the women who gladly take advantage Of Dr. Pierce's offer of free consultation by letter, are suffering from diseases far advanced in chronic form. But, however far advanced the disease may be- in ninety eight cases out of every hundred the result IS perfect and permanent cure. Even the two women in each hundred for whom perfect cure IS possi- ble are made glad by larger measure Of health and happiness than they have enjoyed for years
 Every sick and aiIing woman is invited to take advantage of Dr. Pierces offer of free consultation by letter Address Dr. R. V. Pierce Buffalo, N. Y Tn this way may avoid the things which offend her modesty and at the time, enjoy the benefit of a consultation with one of the foremost specialists i'll the treatment and of the diseases peculiar to women.
 Absolute privacy guards every wonlan's letter, each letter being read and answered under the guard of the same professional privacy observed by Dr. Pierce and physicians generally in personal consultation.
 "Favorite Prescription " contains no alcohol and is free from opium cocaine and all other narcotics Do not accept substitute for "Favorite Pre- scription," if you want the cures performed by uFavorite Prescription" only. No "just-as-good' medicine can take its place.

10 the Secretary of the Interior and Is an interesting presentation Of facts re- rardine some of the mineral resources of Yuma county, and description ot two of the richest gold mines; also something of the Castle Lone lead mines:
 KING OF ARIZONA.
 The collaborating property, known for a time as the Gleason has been transferred Uo the King fArizona Mining and Milling Company, cor poration organized under the jaws Of the Terri tory of Arizona, with a capitalization of 5OOOOOO shares of par value or Sl each This company owns four full cl;timS-the HomeStake, the King Cf Arizona, the Last Hope, Gld the MuchO Bueno This district lies about thirty live lniles due east of thd Castle Dome Land ing, on the Colorado River. It is north of The Sila River and about 40 miles from Mohawk summit, on the Southern Pacific Railroad. This is the nCareSt station on the railway. There are several other locations besides those conveyed to the King of Arizona.
 The homestake location covers the chief workings up JO this date There IS on this claim a strong vC jn of gold-bearing quartz. This lode or vein has three well-marlIed divisions CT layers. On the hanging wal there Is soft layer from to 3;a inches Wlde which averages about S2, 800 per ton in value. Next below this there is a middle layer or body of quartz about 20 inches thick, which vii average about $50 to SlG0 per ton ill value. The remainder of the vein, so far as it is exposed by the shaft, aver ages about S24 per ton. Test hoes have been drilled feet deep into the foot wall and all are in ore. The shalt by which the exposure Of the nature of the vein has been made is POO feet deep and follows the dip of tne hanging wall distance of 40 feet easterly and 30 feet westerly. These show a continuity of vein, having the same characters and values develop cd by the shaft. The hill rises rapidly both east and west of the shaft so that the height of backs on the lode above the drifts is greater than al the shalt. At point about 30 feet west of the shaft and on a level with the collar Of the shaft the vein has been croSScut from wall to wall showing it IS feet wide at that point. The ore in the croSScut Is of about the same grade as that in the shaft. The croppings of the veir may be followed for some 7U0 feet of the Home stake shaft to a second opening, known as 'lrht king Of Arizona shaft This shaft is about 5l feet deep, and by means of drill holes the veiI Is shown to be II feet in width and has an aver age value of Sl0 per ton. At point 300 feet easi Of the HomeStake shaft a tunnel has been ma6C which cruSScutS the vein 161 feet below the sur face. At this point the hanging wall vein is lt inches wide and has an average value of $50 pel ton. The tunnel then passes through 30 feet o vein matter running about $ pel ton, thenc, through feet of ore carrying S2S per ton to tht foot wall. The total distance from hanging wal 10 foot wall along this tunnel is 4O feet. 4 drif has been run along the foot wall to the Home stake shaft at Q distance of 300 feet and tht average Faioe Of the ore exposed is Sl4 per ton
