The Fletcher mines at Stockton Hill are outputting large tonnage of ore. At the old Indian Boy mine inc grade of native silver ore is being encoun. tered that will run we'll up in the hun dreds of dollars to the ton. Consid. erable high grade lead is being taken from this mine also. At the c. o. D. all the men that can be worked in the stopes have been put on. At the Al. pha, now that the road has been com. pleted, many men will be put to work. This mine is one of the most promis- ing copper properties in the county. At Berry siding, on the Santa Fe, a big loading bin is being constructed capable of holding large amount of ore. It will be built to allow of the big teams being driven over the bin and self dun ping apparatus will pre-. cipitate the ore into the chutes, from whence the cars are to be loaded. The haul to Berry will be about three miles shorter than to kingman, which will give the teamsters better chance to make trip day from the Hill.

 According to the opinion expressed by q Philadelphia traveller. Wilhelmina, Queen of Holland-one may no longer write n Little Wilhelmina"-is said to be grow ing very plain" but none has yet de- nied her large share of very human" qualities. Tn proof of this this same traveller tells a story which presents her in pleasing light. It seems that a cer- tain famous London photographer had been sent for to take the Queens picture. It was the second such commission he had received from Amsterdam. When the sitting was over and the plates had been developed. Wilhelmina said delightfuIly: Why, this Is a much better picture of me than you took before. l wonder why that is?''
 Your Majesty has now a more cheerful expression" ventured the artist. Per- haps that is what makes the difference" And know why that should have been so." added the Queen instantly. The last time you were here. remember I had on very tight boots. How can any one look cheerful when her feet are being pinched?"

It is the only reliable internal remedy ever devised to cure any case of catarrh, how ever long the case may have been stending.
 What can be cured in the beginning in a week or two by using Peruna. if allowed to become chronic, may require months of faithful treatment. You had better take Peruna now, for by and by you may be obliged to take 1t for a long time in order to get well. Peruna IS the remedy for ca- tarrh. Almost every body knows that by heresay and thous- ands know 1t by ex- perience.s
 The best time to treat catarrh Is at the beginning. A bottle of Peruna never fails to euro a common cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.
