laris vein. The vein was cut al ITO feet
from the entrance Of the tunnel into
the hill. 1t is impossible to give full de
tails of the strike at the present as the
vein is very wide and not entirely cut
across. Some OF the ore was assayed
and it runs as good as any ever found in
the upper workings. The discovery of
the vein so far below the present work
ings is significant and it further proves
that this vein is one of the largesttand
best in the Clear Greek Gilpin belt
This additional find comes very handy
as the Company will increase their mill
ing facilities very extensively. Some OF
the large concerns are now figuring on
the mill, and a contract will be closed
within a few days. This means two new
discoveries of ore for the Company dur
ing the past 10 days.

J Idaho Springs Sirtings: "You can say

me of this and believe he knows what

We should have preferred a line from
Idaho Springs, but under the circum-

opinion the entrance Of the railroad will
stimulate work and give the camp an i'm

many ways" The editor of THB OBsER-

that the new road is to run through Rus

less in Central tina in Idaho Springs,
and they feel very much delighted that
they will have chance in a few months
to test the generosity of their Gilpin

Tendency ofthe Times.

The tendency OF medical science is
toward preventative measures. The best
thought Of the world is being given to the
subject. 1t is easier and better to pre-
vent than to cure. 1t has been fully de-
monstrated that pneumonia. one OF the
most dangerous diseases that medical
men have to contend with, can be pre-
vented by the use of Ceamberlain's g
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from cold or from an attack of
influenza grip, and it has been observed
that this remedy conteracts any tendency
OF these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousand Of cases in which this remedy
has been used during the great prevail.
ence of colds and grip in recent years,
and can lIb relied upon with implicit con-
tidence. Pneumonia often results from q
slight cold when no danger is apprehend
ed until it is suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty in breathing
and painsln the chest, then it is annouc-
ed that the;patient has pneumonia. Be
on the safe side and take Chamberlain q

tracted. 1t always cures. For sale by
