There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dir. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfllls every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver. bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
It, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity Of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-ROot is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

GLOBE BENEFITED BY CoNsOLI
DATION.

AS will be noted by a perusal Of our
Geographic advices from Boston, all
question Of the contamination of the
merger between the Old Dominion
Copper Mining & Smelling company
and the United Globe Mines has been
removed by the very large deposits of
OLD Dominion stock. and as the time
for receiving stock by the Shawmut
bank under the agreement has been
extended until November zS il is prac-
tically certain that the approval OF the
consolidation will have been gained
from the holders of seven-eigths Of
the stock of the present Old Dominion
company, showing cOnclusively that
the opposition to the amalgamation Of
the two companies. while very noisy
is. in reality, of small consequence.
The announcement made by the
Silver Belt OF the pronounced success
to the people of Globe, as the con-
soldation Of our two greatest copper
compan MES is of the utmost Importance
not alCne to the merging interests, but
to other mining interests and to the
people of Globe generally.
The advantages to accrue from the
operation of the Old Dominion and
United Globe properties under enc
ownership and management are many
and obvious. and have already been
stated by the Silver Belt Nature ap-
pears TO have created them to mark
ed degree reciprocal in the character
