Judge W. w. Dunbar and Emil Peter
son returned yesterday evening from
a two weeks trip to the Grand Gulch
country. They went in by way of st.
George and came south sixty miles,
where they located four copper claims.
The new locations are on the road from
the Grand Gulch to Modena. Judge
Dunbar believes that they have some
thing good, as the ore, besides running
high in copper, carries good values in
gold. These mines are all on the
northerly strike of the great jerome
copper belt and are liable to prove bo-
nanzas. The sale of the Apex mine, in
West mountain, or Virgin range, for
250OO0s has stimulated copper mining
in the region south and west of st.
George and many properties are ship
ping to Salt Lake City by way of
Modena. The Copper Mountain com
pany is shipping its ore through st.
George. With proper railroad facili.
ties Judge Dunbar believes that Mo-
have county north of the Colorado
river would become one of the greatest
copper producing sections of Arizona.
The copper values are much higher
than in any of the mines now worked
in the other counties of the territory,
but owing to the wagon haul of nearly
two hundred miles only the very rich
est of the ores can be marketed.

The Blackfoot mine has always been
considered one of the big mines Of the
Stockton Hill country, having pro-
duced thousands of dollars in gold,
silver and copper. The shipping ore
carried about fifteen per cent copper
and the values in gold and silver
ranged very high. Mr.. Collins, who
owns the original Blackfoot, shipped
about thirty thousand dollars worth of
ore within short space of time two
years ago, but since that time he has
| been deyoting his time to other pur-
suits. On the Stinson end of the mine
the ore shows up well in copper and
Mr.. Stinson has been taking a great

said the people here had always boon
solidly democratic, but there were
now issues now to worry them until
explained. He told Of the natural
expansion Of child aud contrasted
it with that Of man suffering from
dropsy. Tho unnatural expansion
would sap valuable life-so it was
with tho "expansion" Of which you
now hear. The Philippines were 30
hot that you have to lap your hens
on cracked ice to keep them from
laying boilod eggs. Mr.. Homphill
then entered into plain, clear and
forcible argument against the gov
ernment's policy Of imperialism. If
this is followed we must shoot Fill
pinos eternally. Let tho Filipinos
live IN their homes with their fami
lies and with their liberty. If we
are to keep these islands we have to
shoot the people or keep Il great
army there indefinitely. You must
pay for this army in an ever flowing
stream of money. He told, too, Of
tho pensions, explaining tho system.
He dealt for while with the trade
side of the Philippine question. His
arguments were the same as ut
Union, several good stories being
given by way of illustration. No
greater humbug than this imperial.
ISM idea WAS ever concocted in the
world, he said. Whan man begins
to shake off principles and take on
otbors it is pretty safe to say that he
has no principle himself. 1t is doubt
full if any nation ever made dollar
by colonization. He quoted striking
figures as to England and said that
moreover the old countries are SO
densely populated that their people
have to seek homes in other countries.
while we have only twenty five peo.
pie to the square mile. We need
population. The proposition of the
republicans was worry different
thlng-we will have additional race
troubles. Great Britain had had the
Philippines once, but sho sold out
for less than we paid and sailed away.
He then devoted his attention to the
ship subsidy, using the arguments
previously published. In the course
of his remarks he said faith was the
faculty which made a man believe
what he knew was not so. He con-
cluded with some jokes and anec-
dotes.
The audience today was one of the
most patient and undemonstrative
of this preliminary campaign. Those
present listened most attentlvely to
the arguments, hut it WAS only once
or twice that there was any attempt
at real campaign applause. Each
speaker was we'll received, particu-
larly when he told pointed joke.

a Successg

to Do More Work.

The Emporia Gazette in a recent is
sue discusses the question, rs the Santa
Fe pool system for locomotives a sue
cess?" 1t reaches the conclusion that
under present conditions the pooling
system is a necessary evil, but that
when more locomotives are secured Cor
use it will be very undesirable. It says
in part:
"On July 1. 1898, the present pool sys-
tenn used by the Santa Fe engine crews
went into effect on the Cottonwood divi-
sion. The system was first put into
service on the Chicago division of the
road, and snow used throughout the
entire Santa Fe system
THE question of whether or not the
pool system is a success, all things con-
sidered, is one that an stand much
arguing pro and con and opinions are
expressed in favor of and against it.
Besides the officials of the road there
are few who favor it, but under the cir
cumstances their can not be
quaShed. Master OF
Newton, was here recently and his opin-
ion of this question was that the pool
system is a success in that the business
of the Dad could not be handled with
the former system by the very limited
number of engines now in use. There is
little getting around that position, out
there is one barrier.

are dying every day. If each crew had
its own pet engine the death rate would
be so diminished that it would make
up for extra work obtained by
the line Engines continually. The saw
ing in this case would be on the wear
and tear of the engines as well as to
cut down the shop work.
Locomotives in a pool will last on the
average of about three years before a
complete overhauling is necessary.
Those on specified runs. ZACH of which
has it's own engineer, similar to the for
mer engine system, will last from five
to six years The saving is obvious.
Division Foreman Goodhue, at this
place. who is up to date on mechanics,
says he could argue an hour on either
side, but under present conditions, with
a limited supply-in fact, a shortage
of engines-the pool system is the only
salvation An engine man, from his
standpoint, expressed the situation in
a nutshell. He said, You can not let
Tom, Dick and Harry take a turn at
running the same engine and expect all
to run it as Harry would When an
engineer reaches a station now he is
done with the engine, and if a half
dozen bolts are broken or as many leak
might have wooded, it's all the same in
AS a conclusion it can be said that ut
because engines are scarce, but in the
long run, considering the feelings of the
engine men in the bargain, a saving
proposition would be to furnish more
engines and let each crew pet its own
horse"

when superintendent of the St Louis,

they came upon a wreck-a head-end col

Heart trouble, at least among the Amer
leans, is certainly increasing and while
this may be largely due to the excitement
and worry of American business life, it is
more often the result of weak Stomachs,
of poor digestion
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in a hundred of heart trouble
is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves,
the sympathetic and Pn-eumogastric-
In another way, also the heart is af-
fected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food. There is a feeling of
oppression and he~a vinesS in the chest
caused by pressure of the diStended Stom-
ach on the heart and lungs. interfering
with their action; hence arises palpitation
and short breath
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making 1t thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can be done by the regular use af-
ter meals of some safe, pleasant and eff
fective digestive preparation like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found
at most drug stores, and which contains
valuable, harmless digestive elements in
a pleasant, convenient FORM
1t is safe to say that the regular per-
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at meal time will cure any form of stom-
ach trouble except cancer of the stomach.
