In no class Of mining does thee.

much as in metal mining. The
most valuable qualifications me.
tai miner can have is to know
where to look for ore, and how to
find deposits, veins, sire k ,
threads, etc., cut off by faults or
lost from other causes. The man
who relies for this knowledge on

The hundred or more teams
hauling ores to the freight depot
in Marion for shipment have a
mighty hard time, 80 far as water
is concerned. The poor, patient
dumb brutes are in many instan-

this extremely hot weather. AT
Crooked creek, a mile west OF the
city, there is plenty of good water,
but it is fenced in 80 that is not
available. We understand Crit

of ground there. BY moving the
fence 80 that teams can be taken

midsd. Judge Towery, please

Paine's Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills OF life. The man or woman who
Is subject to headache at irregular intervals,
goes through lie bearing a load Of misery
and wretchedness that is terrible TO think
Of.
Headaches as a rule, result from dis
ordered condition Of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss Of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
debilitated, the whole nervous system is weak
ened, and headaches result II the liver is
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
deranged, headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys-
tenn must be strengthened and vitalized.
The most persistent cases Of headache, nervous
feebleness, and sleeplessness, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the
great reconstmctant Of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westrck, St. Clair, Mich, tells
Of her release from suffering as iollows;--

and rheumatic pains There is nothing
equal to DIR. Miles Anti-Pain Pills They
are simply splendid and give lief in fifteen

has also taken these remedies and praises
them very highly. We always have some Of
both kinds Of pills in the house, and do not
feel that we could get along without them

There are many reasons why YOU should
take DR.. Miles Anti Pain Pills, but the best
reason is that they will give you almost instant
relief from headache OF other pain. In cases
of chronic headache, when the sufferer knows
an attack is coming on, a Pain Pill will usu-
ally prevent il entirely. In cases OF extreme
nervous exhaustion, when the brain is too
tired and the body too nervous to rest, an
Anti-Pain Pill will sooth the nerves so that
sleep may come. They never fail, yet con
tain no opiates and are non-laxauye.

tain no opiates, never sold in bulk, % doses,
