The fire department was called out
Wednesday morning to squelch a blaze
in U. Cochran's dwelling on east Sec

PROHIBITION ANTI-ToxINE.

velarde, N. M, Dec. %, 1903.
Editor Backbone:
Diphtheria is a terrible disease. I con-
tracted it the other day for the first time.
In a very few hours an insidious white
blanket had formed that threatened to
spread until it would strange me or
cause heart failure from the accumulated
poison in the system. AS live so miles
from any reliable doctor, my family ap-
piled various gargles, had me inhale tar
smoke and used various other remedies,
but all to no purpose. Something must
be done to kill the poison or my breath
would soon be shut off. A doctor was
sent for. What did he do? Did he try
moral suasion'' or thigh license" or in
any way try to restrict the disease? Not
he. He just turned me on my face and
inserted enough anti toxine into the back
of my shoulder to kill the whole outfit of
poison and sporadic growth in my system.
Immediately I was on the mend and have
been ever since. Oh, yes, the old poison
made a desperate fight to strangle me,
even after the anti-toxine was admin
istered, and my throat is sore yet but
I'm gaining and expect to be well again.
prohibition don't prohibit am told.
Don't it? Try enough good anti-toxine

hibition, and see If it will not prohibit"

)ON'T VOTE WITH THE RED-NOSED
GANG.


(Rev. A. w. Luce.)
Christian went up to the polls to vote
On chill November day.
IS he laid aside his great fur coat,
I heard him softly say:
l wonder what I'd better do;
don't like to vote for rum,
SUIT a. vote for Snaggs means licensed
drink,
AS sure as kingdom come"
While, as these words to himself he said,
The voice of conscience rang,
Man shall not live alone by bread;
Don't vote with the red-nosed gang.
Ie'll be elected sure enough
And politicians say
mans most cOnsummate fool
To throw his vote away
One vote won't win 'gainst the wrong"
= he said;
But the voice of conscience rang:
Man shall not live alone by bread";
Don't vote with the red-nosed gang
lie obeyed his conscience, and voted
straight
Against wrong and ruin and rum;
nd he felt as he came to his cot that
night,
II have voted for God and home"
- lay have thrown my vote away,
But of conscience have no pang;
nd while I live no one shall say,
He votes with the red-nosed gang"

culty was overcome al heavy "a. pense, and today, notwithstanding the recent rains, the underground conditions in the Tombstone Consol- dated are more encouraging than at any previous stage of their operations. Few people ever stop- ped to consider what 1t costs to heat up that stream of four mil lion gallons of water that flows daily away from the mine, and elevate the same over TOO feet. Now that the mine is being un- covered, the company will soon begin to get it's money back.
 Clifton Era: The Home Copper Co, board of directors held an i'm portant business meeting on Tues day evening last and made deal with John Molder whereby they transferred ten of their gold mine claims to him for 75,000 shares of Home Copper Co.,, stock which will be turned back to the treasury of their company. The claims pur- chased by Mir. Molder are known as the Buzzard's Shadow group located in the Copper mountain district about three miles from Morenci in the Morenci gold belt. The claims are the Buzzard's Sha- dow, Conqueror, Lillian. 6lmini, Cracker Jack, Central Point, Ollie, Katy, Roosevelt and Globe. Mir. MolGer intends 10 drive the Lillian tunnel right on through the noun tain This tunnel is already in about 300 feet and in a body oflow grade free milling ore which runs from $4 to S5 per ton, and John is confident of cross-cutting very rich body of ore farther in. He ialso will continue sinking the old shaft on the Buzzard Roost claim l which some eighteen years ago ! furnished much ore which was shipped to Denver netting about 1 $50 per ton!

 Graham Bulletin: Another strike is reported in the Chiricahua moun- tains, near the town of San Simon. This find is only one mile from the King of Lead mine, which J. M Burk recently sold to q Montana capitalist for . big figure This find is a lead ore and carries large values in gold and silver and is located in what is called Wood cafion, fifteen miles from San Simon station. A prospector, who opened the vein, brought i'm sam- ples of the ore, which shows very high grade lead, running as high IS seventy per cent lead and carry ing gold and silver.

 Globe Register: A discovery ol molybdenum has been made about two miles north of the Berkley mine in the Cedar district. The veins are immensely large, one o them being twenty or thirty feet ir width and rises above the caion te q height of fully two hundred feet The surface ores carry high values in copper, but at the cafion love the copper cuts out and molybde' mum of an exceedingly high grade comes in.
