SwanviAe. Mimi, Feb. 17,-Prospecting
for gold and copper continued in the mills
around this village, as well as in the beds
of Irish creek and several other small
streams and springs in the neighborhood,
and the presence of these metals, as we'll
as silver and zinc is almost daily being
verified. go" ..-.~' .,~
Several old miners and prospectors have
proved beyond the question of a doubt that
these metals are to be found in sufficient
quantities for successful mining. They be-
lieve that rich placer mining for gold will
be opened along Irish creek, a. small tribu-
tary which joins Swan river about two
miles north of this village. and at several
large springs near Bass lake, in the Pine
Lake neighborhood, as soon as spring
breaks. They are also positive that lodges
of pay ore will be found in the hills as
soon as the weather will permit OF sink
ing shafts, as outcroppings plainly Indicate
the presence of lodges in several places.
At the Olaf Johnson mine, at Pine Lake.
work on a siX-foot shaft is already in
progress but the severe weather makes
it slow, and It is probable that little can
be done for another six weeks.
Gold In the Creek.
The late discoveries at Irish Creek have
caused much excitement, as appearances
Indicate that the stream is full of gold,
and furthermore, that somewhere in the
MUS at the mead or the cFeek, some TOUR
miles north of here, there is exceedingly
rich gold and silver ore. This is proven
by the fact of large quantities of rich
floats, being taken from the stream near
its junction with Swan river. supposedly
brought there by the ice during spring
freshets. One large chunk of black ore,
completely threaded with silver seams,
was found q few days ago, and innumer-
able smaller pieces are being found almost
daily. Another piece, weighing something
over a pound. of almost pure silver was
similarly found and IS now at the" News
office here Besides, seryeral persons have
washed small quantities of the rich sand.
found in the bed of the. creek, and have
exhibited almost pure gold dust.
At Bass Lake an old Black Hills miner
has been investigating large spring and
finds plenty Of gold in the sand around the
opening, and q quantity Of the washed
dust some $50 worth, he has been show
ing around the village.
Nuggets Found.
At the Carver farm, west of town, a
nugget of almost pure gold the size Of a
hens egg was found several days ago.
Colonel F.. y. Wood of Long Prairie, is
also exhibiting a small nugget Of pure
gold, which was taken from the crop of a
the Hill district. Altogether the proof of
the eXistance of valuable mineral deposits
here are convincing to all and indications
now point to a big rush of gold seekers in
tho spring. - 80 81 b.

MARQUETTE, MIOH.-Edward Huntley, who
was released last fall from Marquette prison on
account of the precarious condition of his health,
is reported to have strayed from the straight and
narrow path again, and Attorney Jud Yelland Of
Escanaba has taken flying trip to lower Michi-

term Of the parole Of the 'human tiger" as

probability be brought to summary close, and
he will be recommitted to prison, this time to
die: as he is pretty far gone with consumption
By most prison officials, and particularly by
E. b. Mosher, former deputy warden Of Jackson
and MARQUETTE prisons, Huntley is regarded as
ever imprisoned in the state Of Michigan. His
nerve is SO wonderful, his courage SO great and
his passions and prejudices sleepless as to
make him for many years a constant source OF
anxiety and fear to prison-keepers.

SPECIAL TO Inc journal.
Fargo, N. D., Feb. 1.-THE statement
made here five weeks ago that the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific would
soon be using the Northern Pacific sta
ton here as union passenger station has
been authoritatively confirmed. The
change will be made early in the spring.
The Great Northern trains from the east
will run into Fargo on the Northern Pa
cific tracks from East Moorhead and from
the north they will reach the Northern
Pacific tracks from spur that is to be
built west Of the shops from the North
ern Pacific main line to the Great North
ern tracks. This spur will be about a mile
in length. 1t will probably be about May
1 before the change is effected.
The passenger station is, a good build
ing, but scarcely large enough for a union
station.
The change will create some vacancies
In railroad circles here. It will result at
least in the consolidation Of the city ticket
offices, the express offices and the bag
gage rooms. The heads Of the depart
ments may not be affected, as it will
probably be necessary to retain them to
look after the freight business of each
road, and appoint a new man for the con-
sol1dated passenger business.
There Is some discussion over the posi-
bllity Of the passenger trains Of the Mil
waukee coming into the union station, but
as there is hot competition between the
Milwaukee and the other roads here for
freight business.

How to Cure 1t.
You Must Keep the Bowels Regulated
If You Would Be Well-A Simple
Remedy Within Reach of All.

Constipation poisons the entire sys-
tenn. 1t charges the blood with vile
impurities causes piles and female
troubles, ruins the nerves, upsets the
kidneys and liver and prepares the
way for disease and death.
Nature has provided but one way by
which food may be received into the
system, while the Importance Of frees
ing the body of waste matter is ems
phasized by the fact that she has given
us four ways Of disposing Of it.
The bowels, the kidneys, the skin,
which, if retained in the system, would
poison. pst
OF these, the bowels and the Kid
neys are most important. Anything
which hinders natural bowel or kid
ney- action results in sickness-this is
inevitable-there is no escape. 80
Did you ever stop to think that you
would be seriously i'll if your bowels
and kidneys refused to act for only
three days, and that a fortnight would
hurry you to the grave?
Any trouble with the bowels IS se-
rtous.
Anything which prevents regular

Iron-Ox Tablets cure constipation
They do it by so toning up the en-
tire digestive tract that the stomach.
bowels, liver and kidneys work to-
gether naturally and in harmony.
They thoroly regulate the bowels by
their combined tonic and gentle laxa-
tive action. Their tonic qualities stin-
ulate the flow Of digestive fluids, and
with their mild laxative effect, relieve
all trouble. I9-ss
Remember, Iron-Ox Tablets are not
purgative or cathartic in their effect;
they are tonic-laxative; they cure by
building up the entire system.
Anything which shocks the system
into activity is dangerous. Do not
expect immediate perceptible effects
from Iron-Ox Tablets. They produce
natural, regular building UP Of all

lutely certain. go.
