/" InCURADLE' HEART DISEASE.
SOON CURED.

During the last two or three years
very great improvement has been made
in the treatment of diseases of the
heart Cases formerly considered in
durable now rapidly yield to new rem
edies. The well-known specialist.
Franklin Miles, M. D., IL. B., will
send $3.75 worth of his new Special
Treatment free to our afflicted readers
This liberal offer is for the purpose
of demonstrating the unusual curative
powers of his new Treatment for heart
troubles, such as short breath, pain in
the side, oppression in the chest, irreg-
ular pulse, palpitation, smothering
spells, putting of the ankles or dropsy.
They are the result of twenty-five
years of careful study, extensive re-
search, and remarkable experience in
treating diseases of the heart, stomach,
liver, kidneys and nerves, which often
complicate each case.
The Treatments are prepared ex-
pressly for each patient, as the result
is very much more certain and salts

Few physicians have such confidence
in their remedies And there is no rea-
son why all afflicted persons should
not avail themselves Of this liberal of

than that from heart disease Thou

cause most physicians do not UNDER

After all these disastrous defeats the
pro-Russian press of Europe say that
1t is Japanese defeat and to sus-
tain that contention make the follow
ing argument "The withdrawal north
of kouropatkin's army has actually
converted what might have been dis
aster to himself into what is regarded
as a reverse for the Japanese, for the
failure of the Japanese to hold Gen
eral KurOpatkins army and infict a
decisive blow, it is claimed can not be
regarded otherwise than a reverse. ;"

would make another stand at Muk-

parallel roads to those on which the
Russians were retreating made Muk-

Russians made no stop there. The next

The special meeting of the stockhold.

held in this city last week resulted in a
decision to sell the property of the COM

the company since its organization. The
company has vzry valuable mining prop

direction the company became involved.
Realizing that the property Of the COM
psny was a valuable one wIien properly
handled. nuniber Of the heaviest stock
holders advanced the money to pay the
debts and took as security a mortgage on
the mill. An effort was then made to
secure the cooperation OF all OF the other
stock holders in raising money to pay off
the indebtedness and provide a working
capt. 1 to resume operations on the
mines. A number OF the old stock hold

lutely refused and as consequence will
be left out OH the reorganization of the
company,
The company has group Of II claims
mostly all patented. and upon which a
limited amount of work has shown splen-
did bodies of mineral. Work was done
ON one Of the veins of the company in
the Newhouse tunnel, which demonstrate
ed beyond doubt that they had an inn
mense body Of low grade ore at a depth
Of 1900 feet. which would yielda hand
some profit when properly handled in
large quantities. The vein is from ten to
thirty feet in width and is filed with
mineralized matter which will yield

On the surface two of the main shafts
have good showlugs Of ore. In one place
there is exposed Two foot body Of slmost
solid lead ore, with from two to three
feet Of milling ore alongside. The mines
are equipped with good plants Of fmachin-
