A Cure for Eczema

Ny baby had Eczema so bad that
It's head was solid mass of scabs,
and It's hair all came out. I tried
many remedies but none seemed to
do any permanent good until l
used DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve.
The Eczema Is cured, the scales are
gone and the little ones scalp Is
perfectly clean and healthy, and
It's hair Is growing beautifully
again. I cannot give too much
praise to DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve.-Frank Farmer, Bluff City,
KY. In buying Witch Hazel Salve
look out for counterfeits. DeWitt's
Is the original and the only one
containing pure Witch Hazel. The
name E. c. Dewitt & Co. Is on

The Ep4curean Badger.

The badger is great epicure in eggs,
and much Of the hostility Of game
keepers to this animal lies undoubtedly
In the fact that it will. when il gets the
chance, devour a whole nest Of par
fridge or pheasant eggs. Badgers are
said also to be fond of honey, and,
knowing the extraordinary craving OF
their South African cousin, the ratel.
for this dcicacy, should say it is not
improbable that they may occasionally
partake of it. 1t is certain that these
animals have a particular liking for
the nest and larvae Of waspS and wild
bees, digging down with strong feet
and infinite perseverance till they Mt
tain their object. These animals are
said by keepers to kill and devOur free
" young rabbits. That they do partake
of this fare at times is, think, certain,
but that they destroy any very c0nsld
cradle number Is more than doubtful.
Still, the badger is carnivorous i'll his
tastes and is not, even by his kindliest
friends, to be absolved from devourinG
at times tender rabbits and even the
young Of game birds when he can get
hold of acknowledgements.

Ger mining claims of irregular shape on

MINING IN BLACK HILLS.
The Last Of Mr. Yates Papers the Homesake System of
Stopping Ore. Comparative Table of the Cost of Tim
berng by the Different Methods

When the stope is worked up 80 or 85
feet, raises are made to the level above
through which the filling is to be dump
ed, and the ore is then drawn out
While the ore is being drawn out the
walls and roof are carefully watched
and all loose material is dressed down.
No accident of a serious nature has oc-
Cured in one of these Slopes during the
two years in which this method has
been employed that could IN any way be
attributed to the method.
When one end has been emptied of
ore a section of the sill fiooc is Jagged
and the filling is dumped in until it be-
gins to run over the tagging. In this
way the filling follows the shovelers
and the walls of the stope are support
ed at one end by the ore and at the 9TH
er by the waste.
When small ore bodies are worked by
this method no pillars are left in, but
when one section is worked up a suffi-
cient heighth another is started at one
end and the ore is left in until the en-
tire body is worked.
Stopping without timber is not con-
fined to the Homestake mine, but there
are certain features of the method as
employed here peculiar to the Home
stake, and which are considered neces-
sary to suit our conditions. In the
Treadwell mine the sill floor is not open
ed on the station level, but drifts are
run in the ledge and raises put up from
these drifts to a level some Is feet
above. No timber is required except
for chutes, but back of ore is left in
which takes the place of the sill flool
timbers used in the Homestake. The
cost of the timber would in a grea
measure be offset by the cost of making
raises and putting in chutes. The ac
cessibility of the ore is another advan
tage in favor of the Homestake methot
and becomes a necessity in a min
which furnishes nearly 1000 tons of or
every "a hours.
AS only small per cent OF the or
can be removed before the stope is fin
ished, there is of necessity a large re
serve always on hand, which allows tn
mine to lay off whenever desirable
The present broken ore reserve in tn
mine is nearly one million tons.
Following is a comparative table Civ
ing the cost of timber in a stope whic
has been worked and timbered by squar
sets, and the same stope if worked b
