A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.


All doctors have tried to cure cat
arrh by the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste
form. Their powders dry up the
mucous membranes, causing them to
crack open and bleed. The powerful
acids used in the inhailers have en-
tirely eaten away the same men,
branes that their makers have aimed
to cure, while pastes and ointments
cannot reach the disease. An old and
experienced practitioner who has tor
many years made close study and
specially of the treatment of catarrh,
has at last perfected treatment
which when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but perma-
nently cures catarrh, by removing
the cause, stopping the discharges,
and curing all Inflammation. 1t is
the only remedy known to science
that actually reaches the afflicted
parts. This wonderful remedy is
known az "Snuffies, the guaranteed
catarrh cure" and is sold at the ex-
tremely low price of One Dollar,
each package containing internal
and external medicine sufficient for
n full month treatment and every
thing necessary to its perfect use.
"Snutfles" is the only perfect cat
ar-h cure ever made, and is now rec
ognized as the only safe and positive
cure tor that annoying and disgust
ing disease. 1t cures all inflamma-
tion quickly and permanently and is
also wonderfully quick to relieve
hay fever or cold in the head.
Catarrh when neglected often
leads to consumption "Snutfles"
will save you if you use it at once.
1t is no ordinary remedy, but COM
plete treatment which is positively
guaranteed to cure catarrh in any
form or stage if used according to
the directions which accompany
each package. Don't delay but send
for it at once, and write tull particu-
lars as TO your condition, and you
will receive special advice from the
discoverer of this wonderful RENE
dy rega riding your case without cost
to you beyond the regular price of
"Snnffies," the guaranteed catarrh
cure"

Complaints are louo ana 1erVant
that the mining stock business il in
a bad way. Two years ago it was
far otherwise. In the words of Carl
Schurz: "Kieryting vas lofely und
der ganz haengt hoch." Companies
were floated that had little merit,
stock was forced upwards far be-
yond any chances of tair returns on
the investment, and many illeg1ti-
mate methods were resorted to. The
inevitable reaction has occurred,
and the mining stock markets are
depressed. We extend but little
sympathy. 1t is right, however, to
state that the Colorado stock ex-
change, during the past year, has
taken steps to prevent the hotation
of wild cats and to insure far better
protection for the public i'll the fu-
ture. Today the Colorado stock ex-
change. is nearly model organiza-
tion.
Stock exchange mining suffers
from several ineradicable defects.
The worst defect is that the mining
ope rations are, in most cases, con-
Quoted chiefly according to condit-
ions set by the market" Suppose
good mining judgment would call
for certain work to be done immedi
ately cntailing temporary cessation
of dividends, or, at all events, would
canse poor showing to. be made tor
a period, would those whose interest
it was to keep up the price OF the
stock consent to the work being
donep Experience in the past goes
to show that in the majority OF cases
good mining work is sacrificed to
the exigencies of the stock market
or is deferred 80 long that the tx
pense of carrying out the operations
is greatly enhanced. The best min
ing work OF the West is done by
private individuals, or by such stock
companies as are controlled by good
mining men with heavy financial
interest in the SUCCESS of the ven
ture.
Another objection to the mining
methods OF the stock gamblers is
that whether the mining venture
succeeds or tails the manIpulators OF
the stock issue generally come out
ahead.
The investment of money in a
bona tide mining company, the oper-
ations OF which are in the hands OF
honest and competent men, IL as SAT-
as in that OF any other business; but
buying stock i'll properties in which
he stockholders have little CIR moth
ing to say, and in an exclted market,
IL very poor business. The loser
torgets that he has been gambling
and condemns mining investment s
as a whole to the detriment of the
industry. In steady mining, where
profits are regular and OF fair re-
munerative cha racter, the bulls and
the bears have little scope for their
peculiar genius. At any rate the
operations of these gentry have
very little to do with Legitimate
mining, which is the field OF this
journal. The bulls and bears do
more harm than good to the mining
industry and we are not at all wor-
ried because their pasture at pres
ent affords but little nutriment. In
the meantime the actual mine opera
tor, in spite of some dra w backs, is
doing very well and has prospects
of doing better. The lesson to be
i 4 4
stimulating; let gambling alone and
stick to legitimate mining.-Denuer'

THE WEATHER.

During October has Seldom il
ever been EquaIed in this Sec
ton Of Country.
This Is the last day of October
and the weather, with but very
slight exceptions, has been ideal
throughout the entire month. The
bright sunshine and balmy days
that have prevailed, almost unin-
terrupted, have made it the banner
month Of 1902.
The present month has been de-
lightful beyond description, and In
no section of country IS there a
month equal 10 beauty 10 that of
the West Virginia October. Ask
an individual who has had nothing
that has been dependent upon a
supply of rain, and he will read
lily agree with you that the weather
has been par excellence. Call his
attention, also, TO the beautiful for
ests and the exhilarating breezes
that gently fan them, making a
combination that at once produces
health and happiness.
But without regard to Its utility
the autumn season throughout the
great Ohio Valley Is certainly most
delightful. Whatever might be
sale, about the rest of the year, with
reference to the uncertainty of the
climate; about the heat and mois-
ture, the fact remains that nowhere
is there more enjoyable climate
than that of the month of October,
In the State of West Virginia, to be
found. The air Is always fresh aud
invigorating.
