authorized by the city's two banks,
and the various mercantile house,

The progress and prosperity Of
Sumpter, and the development Of the
mineral resources Of the district are
we'll evidenced by the prevalent
business conditions, and . comparison
between Sumpter today and one year
ago. Sumpter IL headquarters, AZ IL
we'll known, Of one Of the richest gold
fields In the country. Its trade IL
dependent upon their development,
and the business situation Of the
city reflects the condition of the min.
ing industry In the surrounding Sec
tion. The vast mineral wealth Of
the Sumpter district Ia attracting the
attention Of the world, and there
is steady acquisition Of mining
property by the leading capitalists
Of the country. This influx Of capt.
tai has brought new people and new
interests to the city more than doub-
ling the volume Of business within
the past year. The incident increase
In population has rendered IL difficult
to obtain residence property, not to
mention the scarcity Of offices or
business property. The fact Of the
matter IL that there IL not "a vacant

that this IL II profitable field for in

and residence property was lying
idle without renter In sight.
The situation may best be judged
from the testimony Of the business
men themselves, and u conclusion
formed as To the difference In the
volume Of trade now and year ago.
The leading dry goods and grocery
firms Of the city estimate that their
business has increased anywhere from
to five times, over the same
period last year. Several concerns
more conservatively inclined, say
that their business has doubled, while
Others place their increase ut five
times. 4 safe key to the situation

HVOmei The Latest Scientific Discovery
For The Cure Of Catarrh.

The discovery of Hyomei has
wrought wonderful change in. the
treatment of catarrh.
Prior to three years ago the medi-
cines ordinarily employed in the cure
of this disease were nauseating drugs
and worthless tonics. In some i'm
stances they benefited, but the inn
provement was not lasting.
With Hyomei you take into the air
passages of the throat and head bal
samic air that goes to the minutest
cells, etfectually killing all germs and
microbes of catarrh. 1t enters the
blood with the oxygen, killing the
germs in the blood, and restores
health to the whole system. Many as
tonishing testimonials have been re-
ceived from those who have been cur
ed by Hyomei.
N. G. Durham, % Wellington St.,
Boston, Mass, writes: IL have suf-
fered from catarrh for a number of
years. l have tried Hyomei, and
found it the only cure for this disease
i ever used"
Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given to doubters is the fact
that Feldmeyer Bros. have so much
faith in Hyomei that they sell every
package under positive guarantee to
refund the money if it does not cure.
Now is the time to begin the use
of Hyomei.

of more building permits issued last
month than a year ago. There is no
complaint of traffic congestion that was
so frequent last year at this time, rail-
way earnings, 81 per cent higher than
in November to date in 1902, testify

An Improbable Gift.

noted for liberality, are usually very
willing to give lift" in their wagons
to pedestrians, unless the PERSONS ap-
pearance is decidedly unprepossessing,
and provided, of course, the request is
made in proper form.
A farmer, returning from town with
an empty produce wagon, overlook a

discouraged air OF city man unusued
to dirt roads.
"Hullo, Jersey" cried the stranger,
briskly, Can a man get lift to Vine

II don't see why he can't" respond
ed the farmer, in a non-committal way.
Then III take a ride" said the
stranger, vaulting into the wagon, and
making himself comfortable.
After two or three miles had been
traversed, the stranger paused in his
inconsequential talk long enough to

farmer.
Another mile was passed, and then

about how far is it to Vineland"
"Well, replied the farmer, medita-

five thousand miles; but il you Il get

A Notable Owl.

The Geological Gardens have inyar-
iably possessed specimens of the owl
family in superabundance, but a new
arrival is OF an unusual character. An
owl from Australia, which has the tech
ncal name Of Hieracoglaux connlyens
and the pseudo-vernacular name OF the
"winking owl" is quite novelty to the
collection. Blinking owls are we'll
known; wnking owls open new chap
ter; but after all, if it has to connve,
as the Latin name seems to urge, it
must wink rather than blink. On the
same day there arrived barn-owl from
foreign parts. This bird has the widest
range over the globe OF any bird, or, at
any rate, it is not exceeded by any.
There are barn-owls even in the remote
Galapagos. They "snore" and hiss"
not merely from China to Peru, but
throughout the habitable globe, save
Sweden and New Zealand.
