A cure for pronsx.


Ashley, North Dakota, June I'D.
H Hanson of this place has found a
cure for Dropsy.
For years Mr.. Hanson himself has
suffered with Rheumatism of the
Heart and Dropsy, and of late has
been so bad that he could not work.
He has tried many remedies, but
nothing he could get helped him in the
least, and he was growing worse and
worse.
Finally he began a treatment OF
Dodd's Kidney Pills and to his great
delight he soon found that the Dropsi-
cal Swelling was gradually going down
and that the Rheumatism of the Heart
was also disappearing. He says:
81 have taken seven boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and am feeling better
than have for five years.
Il am able to work again and IL the
Dropsy or Heart Trouble ever comes
back ! will use Dodd's- Kidney Pills at

THUNDER MOUNTAIN. iDAho,
MINERAL TREASURE HOUSE

fortunes of Gold Are Being Found In
the Center of the STATE of Idnho-
Thunder Mountain, the new Idaho
gold field, is the most promising min
eral region in the United States. The
richness of this country was not
known until late in the fall OF 1901.
after heavy SHOWS had closed all ave-
nues by which the region might be
reached except upon snowshoes- Not
withstanding this fact, Colonel w. HI.
Dewey of Idaho, and others who have
had wide experience in mining, have
expended vast sums in the purchase or
undeveloped claims. The surface indi-
cations are marvelously rich These
gold bearing lodges, from 100 to 300
feet, will run through a mountain par
allel to each other. In the Dewey
mine, this vast deposit has values rum
ming from 81 to 81 900 per ton. and the
plates of the 10-stamp mill which runs
accretions of gold every six hours.
In a few weeks two miners last
spring cleaned up 81 500 in placer gold.

the gravel, the water coming from q
small reservoir on the mountain SIDE
The mineral zone covers a large Sec
ton of hitherto unexplored country.
and is about ITS miles from railroad
There are five routes leading to the
Thunder Mountain country. viz: via
Ketchum, Mackay, Boise and Weiser.
Idaho, and Bedrock, Montana, all on
the Oregon Short Line railway. A
great rush to this mecca for miners is
predicted, and ''On to Thunder Noun
tain will be as familiar as the old
watchword, Pixies Peak or Bust as
soon as the SHOWS disappear so that
the camp may be reached with sup
plies, which will probably be between
May Is and June 1. A scarcity of pro-
visions at present keeps miners away.
as flour at $50 per sack is considered
somewhat of a luxury even in the gol-
den land.
Surrounding Thunder Mountain is a
large section of country adapted to
agriculture and stock-raising.
d. E. Burley, general passenger
agent of the Oregon Short Line rail-
road, at Salt Lake City, sent an expert
to report upon that country, and will
cheerfully give any information re-
quired as to the routes and general
conditions in and around the great
mining camp.

Peculiar and Fatal Duel.

A remarkable duel took place a few
days ago in Warsaw, Russia, between
M. Gerkeffski and M. Kanitzow, both
residents of that city. Pistols were
used, and on the signal fire being
given by the officiating second both
combatants seem to have shot exactly
at the same moment, for both were
killed on the spot. One had a fatal
wound in the head, the other through
