Money Made In Mining

Do you know the history of our
most wealthy miners? Many of them
made their start by investing a small
amount in mining stock while shares
were being sold for development pur-
poses. Mining stocks have been known
to jump from so cents per share to
$40 per share in one single night.
Here are a few results of small in
vestmentS in mining:
800 invested in Butte and Boston
in 1895 is now worth $500.
500 invested in Wolverine in 1898
is now worth $500.
500 invested in Calumet and Hecla
in 1880 is now worth S7,65O.
500 invested in San Francisco in
1898 is now worth $4,000.
500 invested in United Verde in
1887 is now worth 100000.
500 invested in LIE Roi in 1894 is
now worth $4,000.
Quincy has paid IL millions in divi-
dends.
Ontario has paid 1S millions in divi-
dends.
Anaconda has paid 20 millions in
dividends.
Opportunities of the present day for
are better than ever before. Modern
methods and machinery are producing
results thought to be impossible a few
years ago.

WATER DRINKING.
Habit Denounced by a New York
Professor.

New York Dec. pa paper read before
the New York County Medical Associa-
ton by a professor of cinirll medicine in
the New York Polytechnic Medical schoo'
upon the subject of water drinking. has
aroused considerable discussion at the
monthly meeting of the members.
the abuses of water drinking are com
mitted by everyone said the professor,
lin his routine work. Usually no harm Is
done. even though we fail to achieve the
results desired BIT the contrary is true
in the not infrequent cases where We add
to the burdens of an already taxed heart
and circulat ton. and where we Thought
lessly augment the embarrassments Of or
ganS we are striving to relieve.
Most striking Of all is the abuse Of wa
ter drinking in chronic nephritis. Patients
require TO urging to drink as much as
possible. To doubt the efficacy OF kid
ney flushing is the rankest heresy. tina
good might result from reducing the daily
amount of fluids to normal quantities is
incomprehensible and yet such is the
case
"In heart diseases. the abuse of fiuif
is less evident but none the less serious
in its consequences. Every drop Of water
tak ken into the body means additional
work for the heart.

there is talk of other large jobs Of work
which are to be done in the next twelve
months by other interests.
About Il month or six weeks ago the
railroad company purchased what is
known as the Stea mboat wharf, where
the boats of the Eastern Steamship Co.
now land. 1t is understood that the
company is to greatly alt.r this wharf

AT the present time thcs" crafts are dis

In other words, it is impossible. with
