Is II the BreyfOQle?

Reports of rich strikes still con-
tinue to come from the southern
country, and report is now being
circulated that prospector by the
name of Frank Hyde has discovered
what is supposed to be the lost Brey-
fogle mine. This recent find is di-
rectly south of Sand Springs and is
in the vicinity of where the Brey.
fogle mine is supposed to have been.
The ledge is of black quartz, and
picked samples run fully 70 per cent.
in the yellow metal. Breyfogle for
merly lived in Austin, and found
this wonderfully rich ledge in 1865.
He ran short of provisions and re-
turned to Austin to re-outfit. When
he came to look for the mine again
wind storms had changed the lay of
the land by blowing up sand heaps
and celebrating the location marks
made by Breyfogle on his first trip.
Although he, and others, hunted for
the rich ledge for years, 1t was never
found, unless the recent discovery
be IT

PREPARING for the Suit.

At the meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners held last
evening, Hon. w. Z. F. Deal was en-
gagged as associate counsel to assist
District Attorney F. P. Langan
in conducting the litigation of
Storey and Lyon counties.-Enter-
prise.
This is one of the most cold
blooded attempts ever made for one
county, which is not in the best
financial condition, to steal portion
of well-to-do county. 1t is not at
all probable that Storey county can
win this suit, but the litigation will
cost Lyon county something.

The Live Stock Industry.

1t may be news to the aveaage
small farmer that the live stock
farms of the United States, consid,
ering all the farm property in and
on the farms, exceeds in value any
other one class of farm investment
by more than one billion dollars
One billion dollars in itself is a
phrase of tremendous import
When it is considered as mere ex-
cess of figures marking the size OF
one farming industry over another,
the reader begins to appreciate just
what the farming industry in this
country may mean.

Grip Quickly Knocked Out.

"Some weeks ago during the Sc
we're Winter weather both my wife
and myself contracted severe colds
which speedily developed into the
worst kind of la grippe with all its
miserable symptoms says Mr.. ]. S.
Egleston of Maple Landing, Iowa.
Knees and joints aching, muscles
sore, head stopped up, eyes and nose
running, with alternate spells of
chills and fever. We began using
Chamberlain Cough Remedy, aid
ing the same with a dose of Cham
berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets,
and by its liberal use soon completely
knocked out the grip" These Tab

bowels, liver and kidneys which is

demand for copper continues we
will not be able to spare 10000 tons
month tor export. Under existing
reasonable price, but there is little
use of predicting where copper
prices will go. There is little cop

Manila Itch.

1t is more than likely that there
may be number of cases of "Ma-
Mia Itch" in this valley before the
Winter is over. The disease first
started in this State in Tonopah, as
near as we can learn. For the past
several months it has been preva-
lent in Bodie and the Sweetwater
country, and case or two has oc-
CURED in Smith valley and this val
ley in the past year. While the di-
sease is not a pleasant one, it is
never necessarily fatal. 1t seems to
be cross between the smallpox and
chicken pox, and, of course, is more
or less contagious, but cases have
occurred where those who come di-
rectly in contact with the disease do
not catch it. We have yet to hear
of case that has proved fatal, with
one exception, and that is of Piute
Indian in the Sweetwater country.
The main thing in the treatment of
the disease is to break the fever that
comes with it, keep the bowels well
regulated, and then avoid taking
cold and take ordinary care of your
self. 1t is seldom that the eruption
will leave any pits or scars as does
smallpox. 1t has also been noticed
by the physicians that those who
have been vaccinated within the
prescribed term of seven years sell
dom catch the disease.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. ]. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitution
al cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to
a teaspoontul. 1t acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.

member the year Of his birth put down
one hundred to save time.
The precious pearl is produced, at
least in many cases, by the presence
of a minute parasite in the shell-se-
GREETING mantle of the pearl oyster and
other mollusks from which pearls are
obtained. A spherical sac forms around
the parasite, which becomes a nucleus
about which the substance Of the gem
is gradually built up in concentric lay
ers. Some times the parasite remains
at the center Of the pearl, and some
times it migrates from the sac before
it has become hopelessly imprisoned.
Reasoning upon these facts, DR.. III.
Lyster Jameson, to whose efforts the
discovery Of some Of them is due, sug-
gests the possibility Of the artificial
production of marketable pearls by in
fecting beds of pearl oysters with the
particular species of parasites that are
known to attack such mollusks with
the effects above described.
