No use to hunt tigers with

tiger any and it's awfully risky
for you.
Consumption is a tiger
among diseases. 1t is stealthy

eats up the flesh and destroys

it with ordinary food and med.

DESIGNS FOR GRANT STATUE.
Designs Are on Exhibition at the Cor
coran Art Gallery.

Washington, April lO.-The designs
for the proposed Grant memorial
statue, designed by American sculp-
tors. are on exhibition at the Corcor.
an art gallery. The design of Mrs.
Caroline Shaw Brooks of st. Louis
has been accepted for the competi.
ton, but had been delayed in transit.
II is expected that 1t will be received
in time to be placed in position on
Monday. Twenty designs have al
ready been arranged for inspection,
and several others are still to be
placed.
Mrs. U. S. Grant, widow of the late
president was one OF the first Wis.
itors at the gallery. She was accom-.
panied by her daughter. Mrs. Sartoris,
and her daughter-in-law. the wife of
Brig. Gen. Frederick Dent Grant. All
were greatly interested in the collec-
tion, and each design was eyed criti-
cally. Mrs. Grant was visibly af-
fected as she looked upon the differ.
ent figures of her distinguished hus-
band.
1T is hard to say which Is the
best" she said to the guide who pi-
loted them about the collection.
Realizing that only one would be
decided upon for the memorial. she
asked: ""Why couldn't they all be
preserved in marble just as they are?'
The commission appointed to Sc.
lect the final design will probably
hold its first meeting next week. Six
designs are first to be selected by the
commission from the number submit
ted, and from these the final selection
will be made.

Several excellent assays have been
obtained from the "Boer" group of
copper and silver mines at the head
OF Armells creek and there is lit
tie doubt but that with development
work the property would show
large body of ore. Samples brought
to town by Golden Jack Lee. the
owner of the property, show values
of from twenty to thirty per cent cop
per and from fifteen to twenty per
cent silver. beside small values in
gold. The silver contained in the ore
is in the nature of tellurides. which

cious stone industry of the United
States for 1901. and the accompany
ing table, showing the production OF
precious stones in that year. have
been sent to the Division OF Mining
and Mineral Resources Of the United
States Geological Survey by Mr..
George F. Kunz. special agent in
charge of precious stones.
The principal items of interest con-
cerning precious stones during the
year 1901 are as follows:
The yield of sapphires in Fergus
county, Montana, was greater this
year than in 1900, and two companies
are now operating In the region where
the blue stones are found. Explora-
tion for the many fancy-colored sap
phires has been carried on still fur
ther in the Rock Creek region, Gran
ite county, Montana.
The deposit of rhodolite garnet in
the Cowee Valley, Macon county,
North Carolina, was worked extensive
ly. Mining for dark blue, green and
yellow beryls. for amethysts, and for
emerald matrix was carried on in
North Carolina.
The tourmaline deposits at Mesa
Grande, San Diego county, California,
were actively worked, and a new
nearby deposit was discovered. The
localities described In previous re-
ports of this survey as producing the
golden green chrysoprase have been
purchased, or a control of them for
stated period has been acquired,
and more or less mining for this min.
eral has been carried on.
Several new turquoise companies
have been formed, SO that seven COM
panies are now actively engaged in
mining that material and are placing
it on the market, accompanied by
their respective trademarks as q
guarantee that such stones as may
change in color will be exchanged for
others. New Mexico is the chief
source of the turquoise supply.
The finding of one diamond in Lee
county. Georgia, is of interest as COM
ing from a new region.
Epidote crystals, magnificent as re-
CARDS size and capitalization, have
been found in Prince of Wales Is
land, Alaska.
Emeralds have increased greatly in
public favor.
The diamond importation has been
greater than in any previous year,
and at no period have more fine and
more very large stones been imported.
The presentation by Mr.. Max Brav-
erman of his collection of gems and
minerals to the Golden Gate Museum
of San Francisco, California, is
worthy of note.
Within the last few years more at
tention than ever has been paid to
the quaint and fanciful cutting of all
precious stones, the diamond includ-
ed; and whereas. ten years ago.
scarcely any other forms than the
brilliant" and the rose" in dia-
monds were used, during the last
year there has been great demand
for stones that are ''pear-shaped,'
"marquise," ''briolette;" also for ia
ble-cut stones in all forms triangular,
circular, hexagonal. and in the dou-
BILE rose form also; and a modifica-
tion of the last form has been pat.
ented.
The following table gives the pro.
duction of precious stones in the
United States during 1901:

The kinq.Barnes Property.

The development work which has
been conducted on the north end of
the King Barnes property has been
very satisfactory and the results gain
ed are better than was anticipated.
A 15O-foot tunnel has been run and a
fifty-foot crosscut run both ways from
the end of the tunnel in exceptionally
rich cyanide ore. This has demon
strated to the entire satisfaction of
the owners that the northern end Of
the company's ground is fully as val.
liable as that which Is now being
worked and in all probability mill
will be erected in that locality this
season.

silver ores now most available con-

A Cutting Scrape.

Last Sunday night after church
services at the schoolhouse in
Jeddo neighborhood, a row be-
tween two of A B Cases boys and
Edward Leonard took place which
wound up in cutting affray, and
might have resulted more serious
ly had not the participants been
separated by bystanders. 1t seems
from accounts ON both sides that
the trouble was over young lady
whom Mr. Leonard had escorted
home from some entertainment
In the discussion one of the Case
boys called Leonard a liar and
was promptly knocked down.
Then the. other Case boy, who is
folder than Leonard, attacked him
from behind with knife cutting
a long deep cash in the forearm
and nearly severed the fore finger
from one of his hands, and cutting
the back of his hand severely. At
this point the young men We're
separated. Ell Leonard, who was
carved so seriously is not consid-
cred troublesome young man, by
those we'll acquainted with him,
but attends to his own business,
though physically able to take
care of himself If need be.
We are sorry that such an affair
occurred in the community, but
hope that it may be adjusted with
out court costs and a possible
criminal prosecution. Observer
