STATE IS SWEPT BY A STORM
RACES Almost With Severity of Cy-
clone Here,

The windstorm which swept over
Americas and this entire section last
night welInigh reached cyclonic pro
portions ere its fury was spent, raging
far into the night and resulting, no
doubt, in very great damage to prop
erty.
The wind blew furiously, while O
perfect deluge of rain came down.
The storm began late in the after
noon and lasted far into the night ere
it's fury was spent. The result can
only be ascertained this morning.
Fences, billboards, street signs and
everything else movable was sent
whirling. At an early hour the cleo
trio lights went glimmering and the
city was left in stygian darkness but
for the frequent and vivid lightning
flashes.
Hundreds feared the approach of the
dread cyclone, but it came not.
The wires were reported down in
many places, cutting off communica-
ton, 1t was learned, however, that
the storm was general over the state,
doing vast deal of damage, no doubt.

MAKES OLD AGE VIGOROUS.
Paine's Celery Compound the GreatestNere Tonic

Paine's Celery Compound is the
greatest nerve tonic ever given to the
world. 1t is particularly effectiva when
the system is gradually wasting away
in old age, and when each separate
organ is predisposed to degeneration.
Paine's Celery Compound renders q
vigorous old age possible. 1t keeps the
nervous system in normal condition
of health; it keeps the digestive organs
in perfect condition; it keeps the liver
and kidneys active and in perfect
health; it nourishes nerve fibree, as
we'll as muscle tibres and other TISSUES |;
it keeps the nerve force strong; it aids
digestion; it max es rich, pure blood
and gives strength and health to those
in whom the energies of the human
body have begun to wane
In the treatment of the iufirmities
common to old age, Paine's Celery
Compound is the worlds greatest
remedy.

great Alice vein. 1t is over 300 feet in
width as shown upon the surface and,
strange as it may appear very little de-
velopment work has been done upon
the property. Its ores average from So
to $40 per ton and there are millions of
tons in sight, literally and truthfully
speaking. All the money that has been
spent ON the property in the past has
been spent by those not familiar with
modern methods of mining, if, indeed,
familiar with mining at ALL
To illustrate this fact 1t is only neces-
sary to state that mill was construct
ed and for time operated and in this
mill it was necessary to employ steam
force to hoist the ores from the pit into
the mill 1t is a well-understood prin-
ciple in modern mining that a low
grade proposition is one of the best for
the operator, but everything must be
done by gravity where it is possible.
In this instance it would have been
possible to have placed the mill where
the ore could have been released from
the pit to the mill by gravity but the
party in charge preferred to have it lie
other way.
A party of gentlemen from Lincoln
and Omaha, Nebraska, now have
charge of the proposition and have re-
organized it under the name of the Sill
yer Greek Mining Company. c. o.
Wheedon, the well-known attorney, of
Lincoln, Nebraska; A. b. Minor, George
W. Holdredge of the Burlington road
and others are interested in the prop
osition and they ought to make it go.
With this one proposition opened up
and producing as it should produce,
Yankee Hill would become one of the
greatest mineral producing points in
the county, not excepting Idaho
Springs or Georgetown and Silver
Plume The great Alice will become a
Homestake for the new company if
properly operated. Its success will
mean railroad line to that point and
then development will follow much
faster.
Mark Hackett, who is now in charge
of the Alice properties, is a practical
mining man and the representative of
this paper is under many obligations
to him for a trip across and through
the property. Mr.. Hackett is firm
believer in the theory that the Alice
will become one of the greatest pro
ducers of the country. 1t is simply a
question of getting the ore out and
treating it at a profit. 1t is there by
solid acres.
One thing that seems to indicate that
the Alice company means business is
