lie Stopped the Pain.

A Mexican named Francisco Ruiz,
 who died at the county hospital last
 Saturday night. furnishes indisputable proof that there has at last been found a sure cure for indigestion. He care 1 fully located the pain and then placed
 the muzzle of 40" against his stom- ach and let Ter go Gallagher. He had previously tried various other remedies but this was the only one that proved efectual. It must be conceded that this treatment is in class known as heroic, and is not to be advocated in the general practice of medicine; but any one who has ever suffered from acute indigestion will readily under stand and appreciate the prOvOcatiOn and not judge the man harshly for his act. He was stopping at mining camp near Castle Dome when attacked
 with a fit of indigestion, which caused
 him great pain. Unable to get relief otherwise, he took the lead cure as SbdLGu dOON .. 1A hbiAJli " llO lllCU u prevent what she considered the rash act was accidentally shot through the arm. The wounded man was brought to Yuma, but was past human
 aid when he arrived, and is now 'gone to that bourne" where dyspepsia is supposed to be unknown and remedies for indigestion are entirely unnecessary.

AlasNa's New Mines.

The recent report Of expert miners in Alaska confirm the former reports of the discovery of a new silver mine in the Valdes district, also of the finding of several mountains of tin 150 miles distant, making this season of discover ies Alaska has ever known. Among family remedies the greatest discovery was made about fifty years ago, when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters was first introduced. It is a specific remedy for such ailments as loss of appetite, dizzi- ness, belching, indigestion, dyspepsia, ccnstipated bowels, biliousness, malaria, often efTecting a cure when other rem edies have failed. If you are weak and sickly try bottle of the bitters. It will restore you to robust health by strengthening the entire system. The genuine is for sale by all druggists.

MT. J. B. Dippincott, resident hy- drographer for California and consult ing engineer of government reclama- tion investigations on the Pacific coast, who was in Yuma for several days, left for Los Angeles last Friday. While here he met number of the business men and others interested, at the court house last Thursday night, and told something of the work that had been done by the government engineers along the Colorado river. Most of the information he gave has already been printed. MT. Lippincott stated that the government had expended fifty thousand dollars in it's operations along the Colorado river, and gave it as his opinion that the Colorado river country presents the greatest field for reclama tion of lands by irrigation to be found in arid America. As to what the gov ernment proposed to do for this locality
 Mir. LippincOtt was not authorized to state. The situation in this valley with reference to securing benefits under the national irrigation law is the same as that in the Salt river valley, and Mir. Lippincott advised those interest ed here to communicate with Mr. B. A. Fowler, president of the Salt River Valley Water Users Association, and get line on the plans of that organiza- tion. It was also suggested that Mir
 George H. Maxwell be solicited to come here and in an address explain the situation, so that the water users would know just what action to take in the premises. This suggestion was at once acted upon and Messrs. 5. B. Hinds and w. E. Marvin were named as a committee to communicate with Mir. Maxwell for the purpose desired. The date of Mr. Maxwell's address will
 be thoroughly advertised, and all will have an opportunity of hearing him.
