ADA GOLD FIELDS
Frank Quinn, an Ottumwa Boy,
Returns From the West
TELLS OF RICH YIELDS OF ORE
Has Spent Two or Three Years in the
GoId-Bearing Regions of the Great
American Desert, and Prophesies
Grand Future for Country.

Nevada has a gold field which, if
entered by the railroads, will yield
riches which are almost fabulous
when compared with the yield OF the
famous "Homestake' mine at Lead
City, in the Black Hills. The supply
is almost unlimited, and even now men
get rich there in few months, but
with a railroad into the country for
tunes could be made out of ore that is
now thrown away by the miners be-
cause they cannot afford to use it."
The above statement is made by
Frank Quinn, former Ottumwa young
man, who is in the city for the present
on visit to his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
John Quinn, who reside at TIA West
Fourth street. He has just returned
from Nevada, where he has made his
home for the past two or three years,
and says that when his visit is finished
he will go back to the western country
again. He is interested in several
good claims near Tonepah, and already
he has been successful in collecting a
snug bank account as a result of his
labors in the gold mines.
A Great Future.
MI. Slulul Is SHIuuSldSIlC over Ln6
future of Nevada, He has prospect
ed extensively there and knows
whereof he speaks. Gold and silver
are. he says, to be found in abundance
by prospectors who are lucky, and
even working as a miner in the en-
ploy of mine owners will net man a
fair amount. There is little opportun-
ity to spend a great deal of money,
says Mr.. Quinn, on account of the fact
that few of the surroundings are
those found in civilized communities,
or rather in more advanced ones.
Money, according to the OttuEiwa boy,
is the easiest thing to get, and for this
reason fortune is not counted as
great deal when compared with sever
al good square meals" Neverthe-
less, men leave the country literally
weighted down with gold sometimes,
and more will be doing the same way
when railroads open up the country
and make it possible to work ores
which, though rich, are thrown aside
now because of the enormous cost at
tendant upon getting them to mill
for refining.
The Big Discovery.
The field in which Mr.. Quinn has
been most of the time is near Tonepah,
Nevada, town of about 5000 men and
thirty women, located 112 miles south
of Austin and sixty miles east of Soda
vile, to both Of which points are rail-
roads, The story Of the discovery Of

Second street, says:
I'm the fall of 1897 and winter of
! 1898 l suffered more than l can ex-
press with my back and kidneys.
There were times when | would
have taken any sort of medicine if
there were any possibility of obtain
, ing assistance. / was fortunate in
some way to notice an announce
} ment about Doan's Kidney Pills in
one of our papers, and with very lit
tie faith in their advertised claims,
, l procured box at Will l.. Sar-
gents drug store. A few doses
convinced me that had at last OBJ
tanned remedy which was having a
visible effect. Continuing the treat
ment after this encouragement, can
conscientiously say from experience
that the relief obtained from the use
! of Doans Kidney Pills has been
more than transitory. l am not the
only one in Ottumwa who has advis-
ed the use of Doan's Kidney Pills to
their friends and acquaintance, nor
am the only one who has good rea-
} sons to recommend that prepara-
ton"

Mr.. Geo. Winpigler, Of West Sec
ond street, carpenter by trade, en-
ployed at the Ottumwa Brick and
Construction Co., says: Besides my
own experience l have other reasons
for considering Doan's Kidney Pills,
a remedy for kidney complaint I'M
equalled by anything which has
come to my notice. l suffered from
this trouble and its consequences so
much that | ardently longed for
something to bring me relief, and
was constantly on the lookout for
the same: When Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought to my notice l
reasoned that if they performed half
what they promised they might do
me little good, and procured
them at Will L.Sargent's drug store.
They cured me. You are at liberty to
send anyone suffering from kidney
complaint Or any of the symptoms
which indicate that far too
prevalent disease to me for minut-
er particulars and assurances that
the remedy which cured me, name
ly Doan's Kidney Pills, can be de-
pended upon to act up to the repre-
sensations made for them"
