fair. He is one or the pioneer pros
pectors of the "Boundless Boundary"
and Is the father of Phoenix CITY,"
having the honor of being one Of the
first locators in that camp. in the
summer of 1891. Every year since
Spokane has held fruit fair Mr..
Rumberger has been in attendance
and always has a cheerful word to
say regarding his own borough. Last
night he discussed with a Press re-
porter the future of the pioneer camp
of the Boundary. He said:
phoenix camp is outputting close
on 1000 tons per day. We hold the
record for ore shipments in southern
British Columbia. Tomorrow. with
the blowing in Of two additional fur
naces at the CRANKY smelter at Grand
Forks, the tonnage from Phoenix will
be increased to 1900 tons per "a
hours. The principal mines of the
camp are the Knob Hill-Old Iron
sides group. owned by the CRANKY
company. These mines are at pres
ent producing 400 tons per day. The
Snowshoe. which is shipping to the

swine. A force of carpenters was
hastily hustled up and put to work
erecting temporary quartses to house
the animals. To give an idea of the
extent of the stock shows the fol-
lowing figures Of the numbers of en-

Athelstan each contribute 60 to so
tons.
''Ae remarkable feature of the
Phoenix ores. which are low grade
copper-gold, is the fact that plati-
mum has been found associated with
the metals. The values are thereby
increased 81 to 81 per ton. The tests
in this line have only recently been
made and l have 1t on the best Of au-
thority that the statement is correct"
Speaking of the political situation,
the mayor gave out the Information
that If Premier Richard Mcbride is
retained in power the Victoria, Van
couver & Eastern railway will be
pushed to completion and facilities
afforded the Stemwinder and other
mines in Phoenix camp to ship. He
has great hopes that the conservative
party, of which the premier is the
leader. will control the government.
Mayor Rumberger, besides being
pioneer prospector Of the Boundary
district, Is without doubt one Of the
most popular men in that section and
his friends are not slow in predicting
that at the next dominion elections
he will be the representative at OF
tawa for the Yale-Cariboo constitu-
ancy.

Chamberlain Cough Remedy has pro-
duced. The day before Easter I was
so distressed with a cold and cough
that did not think to be able to take

family. She must not be craven when
the whoop of the Indian warned of
dreadful danger. She must stand by
her husband, gun in hand.
How many women of to-day could
undertake wifehood under such condi-
tionsl Few indeed. Not because the
modern American woman lacks cour-
age, but because she lacks as rule the
physical health which is the indispensa-
bic qualification for life such as was
lived by the women of the past.
That is why good woman may be
bad wife. Virtue and goodness are ex-
cellent things in women, but to guide a
house and bear children demands above
all sound physical health.
WOMEN coNvIcrs.
To a great number of women the
house they live in is almost on a par
with prison. It Is prison-like in the
monotonous regularity of daily duties;
prison-like in the absence of all pleasure
in what is done or JOY in the doing.
And the reason Is to be found in
womanly ill-health. Few women realize
how intimately the general health Is re-
lated to the health OF the delicate
womanly organs. A woman may suffer
with heart "trouble," disorders Of kid
neys, liver or stomach, or with nervous
prostration as result Of diseased con-
'dition of the womanly organism. Many
such women udoctor" for years for
various diseases and wonder why they
don't get better. They can't get better
until the womanly organism is entirely
cured of its diseases.
This is not theory. It is statement
OF simple facts founded upon the testi-
mony of hundreds of thousands of
women who have been cured of woman
ly diseases by the use OF DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. They had been
just udragging around {" for years, with
throbbing heads and aching backs, nerv-
Gus, dyspeptic. miserable. The once
fresh colored cheeks had grown sallow,
