4 WORD OF COMFORT
To the Distressed.

Fortunately for those suffering with Rheumatism in all its various forms, ir- cluding Sore Joints, Sore Muscles, and Sore Feet, a remedy has been discovered by modern science which in every instance effects speedy and positive cure. This new remedy is founded on scientific prln- ciples which are acknowledged by the medical world as the only correct treat fnent for Rheumatic or Neuralgi troubles. Medicines taken internally rarely ever ef- feet a cure without upsetting the stomach. As rule, they injure the digestive organs, shatter the nerves. and i'll many instances the patient contracts a drug habit which leads eventually to a decline of the physi- cal and mental forces.
 Paracamph is the new remedy and it is a departure from the antiquated methods. Paracamph enters into the system through the natural channels, namely, the pores of the skin. When applied 1t opens the pores and allows the healing, soothing oils to penetrate the sore, infamed mebranes and muscles, removes the congestion and draws out the fever and inflammation, by inducing sweating. This is the only treat ment that can be indorsed by science, and is guaranteed to cure even the most obsti- nate cases of Rheumatic Swellings if used as directed. Paracanph can be procured Y &tores in a5 cent, and 50 cent, and

\ 5-barrel well pays now IN
taxes $3.50 year: under the

start. We mention this so the
new Council will profit by the er-
rors of its predecessors. This ex-
pense can be saved entirely by
electing competent Prosecuting
Attorney. If an attorney must be
employed, hire him or them on a
contract in which the fee is
named.
The salaries of the city officers
goes up nearly to the $1,000 mark,
which we think could be mater.
tally lessened in many places.
The dog killer did a fiOurishing
business last year, or, at least was
paid enough to do a big business
in the dog-killing line. The sum
( Of $33 was paid out for dog kill
ing. The Lord only knows though
how many dogs were actually sent
to Dog Heaven. In other cities
the policemen kill dogs, but here
we have a separate official for do
ing this act.

Auditor report of the financial
condition of the city for the
year ending April l, 1904.
In the first place, we want to,
commend the work of the Audi
tors, Woodruff, Roger and Nc
Kay. The report is intelligibly
complete and carefully prepared.
We consider it the best report
ever made. What is still more
commendable about the report is
the fact the Auditors but little
to begin work with, but have
Imade very reasonable charges.
Hts quite different from what
other Auditors have done.
The Mayors docket for the
past year shows that Mayor
Meek collected and accounted to
the city by way Of fines the snug
sum Of $2,735. 80. His total re-
ceipts for the year aggregates 81
t031.40. Mayor Meek made good
officer. Some people are inclined
to censure him. but he did exactly
what he was elected to do. Had
he been pledged to enforce the
laws he would have been over
whelmingly defeated, and what
ever was done that was wrong the
voters are responsible for, not
Mayor Meeks.
The Water Work report is GER
tainly discOuraging to read. The
people paid to the Water Works
commissioner last year the sum
$7.12S,73. and to operate and keep
the plant i'll repairs we paid out
the sum Of $S.95459; in other
words, with this immense income
we had to pay in addition the
snug sum Of $1.S25.o6. We are
lnOw told the Water Works will
pay this year, and more than
pay the expenses and repairs. II
| it does not do 50 the Council
should sell the plant to some pri-
vate concern. We do not know
what is wrong. but the amou4t
of money the Water Works has
cost lis is something awful. We
feel certain the Council can re-
lduce the expenses Of running the
Water Works. and should do so.
1t IS an outrage the expense that
| is charged up to this account. We
ought to make at least 5000 a
year instead Of spending all we
make and nearly $1,000 more.
We do not know who is to blame.
but the Council should look after
this matter very closely this year.
If we have another defaulting

J. H. Winter left last night for Du !uth, en route to the Bisbee. Arizona, district on the excursion arranged by the passenger department of the South Shore road. Mir. Winter will join the copperdom party. there being a number of mining and business men of that region who have decided to make the trip. The various Arizona mining fields will be carefully in
 spected, particular attention being paid to the mines and prospects in the neighborhood of Bisbee. into which so much Lake Superior money has gone. Mir. Winter looks forward to the trip with many anticipations of pleasure, and his friends here will be pleased on his return to get his first hand report on the appearance of the different properties.

STOCK QUOTATIONS.
Bisbee, Ariz., Jan. 29, 1904. Corrected by Frank ]. Graf, the
THE WARREN DISTRICT MARKET

The Warren District stocks during the past week have been very active, both in buying and selling.
 Calumet and Arizona, at the open ing of the week, was strong at S105.0o; i; during the week it advanced to S115.o9 and closed Saturday at $110.00.
 Calumet and Pittsburg, which open ed at s25.00 on Monday, is the most active stock on the market. The heavy buying that has been done in the East, as well as local, shows the feeeling of the investors as to the ultimate sue cess of this property of being one of the richest in the Warren District. to sS5.0o. and al the close of the week closed al s35.5o, strong, making a net advance of S10.50, which is certainly a nice gain for the week.
 L. s. and P, which opened at s125 strong. closed at the end of the week at s13o.
 P. and D. has not been active. but nevertheless reached s5100, but de clined to s50.00 at the close.
 Junction. which was quoted at SIS on Monday. made a steady advance, an6 reached the s16 mark
 Calumet and Bisbee is holding at $500, while Calumet and Cochise is down to s5.50. Some one apparently is letting c. & c. get away from them at a very unreasonable figure, and no doubt may regret it. This ought to be good buyer.
 We can not account for Higgins be ing quoted from s3.0O to s3.50. and see no reason for it. The stock is now $500 paid in.
 Wolverine and Arizona hold better than any of the stock out of the Bo nanza circle, being quoted at s4.00 for $500 paid stock.
 The market closed exceptionally strong on the Bonanza stock, C. and P. taking the lead, with brightest pros poets of much higher market.

San Juan Is
 the Real Thing
THERE HAS BEEN NO ExAGGEF
 ATtON IN REGARD TOiT.
Ore Runs Very High in VaIue-AH Surrounding Country Has Beer Staked-Sone Of 1t as High as . Thousand Dollars a Ton.

Wm. Lutley anG John Sanderson came in last night from the San Juan, the property where the big strike of gold was made within the last few days near Douglas.
 Mir. Lutley was asked today some. thing about his very rich property which is creating such an excitement among prospectors and mining men in this part of the country Mir. Lutley said that the stories which were published about his prop erty were not exag2erations in the least.
 Ever since Sanderson made the strike which showed the San Juan to be one of the richest mines in northern Sonora the owners have been working on the ledge, and it shows no signs of diminishing in value There are about six hundred pounds of the very rich ore which was exhibited in Doug las on the dump, which will be ready for shipping at once. They have talk 1 en out several tons of ore that runs as high as one thousand dollars to the ton, and this will be sent away fo, ] reduction
 One uian who visited the property yesterday brought a sample of the l ore that he picked of the dump which contained more gold than rock. Since making the first strike a great many people have flocked into the San Juar country, and they have taken up all the surrounding property.
 Several people have visited the Sar Juan with the intention of buying 1t il i possible.
 Mir. Lutley said that if he and his partners could get their price it was for sale, but if the capitalists who have made offers do not come up to the price the property will not be sold, az they can work it at handsome profit
 The discovery of the rich ore came unexpectedly in that place. The pros pectors had been working in this par ticular shaft for some time with mors
 or less encouragement, as the rocl showed at times to be very rich ana at others worth nothing at all. San | derson, who was down in the shaft
 had concluded to put in one more
 shot and then if nothing came in sigh ! to abandon this shaft and resume
 work in another shaft on the property 1 where good ore had already been CD

MITCHELL DEVELOPMENT.
Some Late News Regarding Thi

Concerning the Mitchell Develop. ment Captain Piper. in charge of the work at the mine, wrote. under date of the 9th inst, as follows: The shaft is not looking quite so well. We have gotten into harder rock have let a contract for another hundred feet. but if it continues in this hard formation I will stop it and begin drift ing on the ore body. I think oul stockholders have every reason to feel encouraged. and I am sure that our chances for finding a good mine could
