Good Spirits.

Good spirits don't all come from Ken

Blue Grass State could not remedy a
bad liver or the hundred-and-one ill ef-

spirits and a bad liver at the same
time. Your liver must be in fine condi-
ton if you would feel buoyant. happy

High Pressure Days.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to hold
their own nowadays. Never were the
demands OF business. the wants OF the
family. the requirements of society,
more numerous. The first effect OF the
praiseworthy effort to keep up with
these things is commonly seen in a
weakened or d~ebilitated condition OF
he ervou system. which results in
dyspepsia. defective nutrition OF both
body and brain, and in extreme cases
in Complete nervous prostration. 1t is
clearly seen that what is needed is what
will sustain the system, give vigor and
tone to the nerves. and keep the diges-
tive and assimilative functions healthy
and active. From personal knowledge,
we can recommend Hoods Sarsaparllla
fcr this purpose. 1t acts on all the vital
organs. builds up the whole system,
and fits men and women for these high
pressure DAYS.

BULLION SHIPMENTS.
From tho M0eoII0ns are Passing
 Through Silver City Every Week.

There passed through the city last week three bars of gold and silver bullion, aggregating 2OO0 ounces, from the mill of the Ernestine Min ing company at Mogollon. Regular shipments of bullion and Concen- trates are being made by the com- pany every week. The Last Chance mine, which is producing the ore from which the bullion is being ex- tracted, is proving to be bonanza to the Erncstine Mining company large blocks of fabulously rich ore having been encountered recently. F.. Craig, the manager of the com pany, is deserving of all the success that is coming his way, as he has stayed with the property for years, with confidence unshaken in it's value. That his confidence was not misplaced is proven by the splendid showing made by the mine in the last six months. during which it has been worked steadily. supplying a large daily tonnage for the mill, be- sides opening up d large body of ex- ceedingly rich ore.-Silvcr City En- terDriSe

BEST SERVICE ] ? :::: First Rational Bank

| There were received by the San ] Francisco mint lately several bars of
 remarkably fine gold. The bars
 came from the camp of Goldfeld, Nevada, and were valued at about
 S43, ,009. They were obtained from the treatment of about fourteen and one-half tons of ore, which gave the
 remarkable yield of 5000 ton.
 The purity of the gold, however, is
 more noteworthy than even the rich
 ness of the ore, the bars asSaying be-
 tween 9Sl and 9S7.5 fine. These bars are said to be the purest ever re- ceived at the San Francisco mint, and it is worthy of comment that if the bars had been a few points finer they would have reached the stan- dard of fineness of the United States gold coins, namely, 990. The gold in the bullion was valued as it stood at S20.4l an ounce, as against s20.61 an ounce for perfectly pure gold.-Min- ing Reporter.
 Sam Gibson was in town last week. and in fear and trembling awaiting the hour of midnight, when the Op- tion held by F. w. Hoar, for Michi- gan parties on the Gibson mine, ex- pired. He stated that if the deal was consummatcd he and his partner, Tip Gibson, would be the losers by at least Sl00.O0 as he valued the prop erty at more than slO0,O00 above the option price, which it is rumOred was Sl0O, 900. Sam went back to the mine happy, the option having been all lowed to expire. The Gibsons have been stoping ore from the 2OO-foot level for five months and the ore body is now larger and richer than when they commenced stOping. The vein is seven to four inches thick and the ore, chalcOpyrite, runs from twenty six to thirty-twO per cent. copper There is practically no waste and therefore scarcely any sorting neces- sary. The Gibsons have nine teams hauling ore from the mine to the Old Dominion smelter, and it is esti mated are realizing S20,OOO or more per month from the shipments. 1t is doubtful if the Gibson mine, for its size, has it's equal in Arizona, or the world, for that matter.-Globe Silver Relt

Many Teachers Failed.

The result. announced last week from Phoenix, of the last quarterly teachers examination, held all over the territory. shows that the situation in the matter of teachers holding first grade certificates has not been relieved. Out of the forty teachers who took the examination in all the counties of the territory, only four of them succeeded in getting certifi- cates of the first grade. Many of the applicants did not aim in the first place at the higher grade of certificates. Of the forty who ap- piled, only twenty-one received cer- tificates of any character. The per centage of failures, almost fifty, makes it plain why teachers have to be imported. and answers critical questions which have been directed to many boards of education through the press.

The term of the United States court now coming to an end in Tomb stone has been the most strenuous for some time past. There were sev- eral adultery cases on the docket to begin with and the grand jury re- turned number of indictments against defendants charged with bigamy. Peppers and his three part ners were convicted and sent to the penitentiery for two years each for unlawfully bringing prostitutes from foreign country to the United States. Three we'll known Mormon citizens of the Gila valley in Gra- ham county were indicted for po- lygamy. One of these men is a pio- neer of that portion of Arizona and assisted in clearing and reclaiming the first land in that beautiful valley. We refer to the Hon. J. K. Rodgers. He was a member.of the legislature in 1891, when the bills passed creat. ing Cochise and Graham counties.
 
 in the legislature in 1899. He has always stood we'll in Graham county as citizen, and his indictment will be regretted. We do not believe that the Mormons of the Gila valley are now generally practicing polyamy but it has always been understood that some of the old members of the church there had plural wives in Utah and Mexico, but it was never expected that they would be molest- ed. Ten years ago the federal court in this territoey made raid on the Mormons when many were indicted, but we believe the most serious pun ishment was a fine. The indictment of these Mormons now will create a stir in the Mormon settlements of Arizona.-Douglas American.

Biz Strike at Virginia District.

President Lister or the No1 u
 American company, was feeling very
 good last week. He had concluded
 to get an independent expert opinion ! of the condition of the Cobra Negra
 He was satisfied in his own mind, but 1 as different eyes would see different l things he concluded it was wise to l have different set of eyes look at : what was exposed. He engaged H. F. Hoffman, one of the best mining | engineers, to examine the property and make a report. Mir. Hoffman's $ report was simply as to geological condition. He made no assays, and passed no opinion as to the quality, or value of the ore there might be in the mine. He said that all the ground above water level showed evidences of movement: there Fl .. slips and fults: it was much broken up and not in place. Where the
 work was being done below the water level. which by the way was not the true and permanent water level, the county rock was in plac 6,
 and the vein permanent. The vein
 had dipped, and was more nearly
 vertical. There was a strong proba-
 bility that they are on the same claim,
 and parallel to the Cobra Negra.
 This was the apex of the real vein,
 which is large and we'll defined. The
 report was such strong confirmation
 of MT. Listers own opinion that he
 was greatly satisfied. He had a vein
 that was six feet wide, in which there
 were two classes of ore, side by side.
 He had had the pay streak, which
 was four feet wide assayed when he
 first struck it. The assay was printed
 last week, showing there were few
 ounce of gold and some eleven per
 cent. copper, which was very satis-
 factory. At the time the report was
 made he was expecting returns from
 assays, three on the pay streak and
 one on the barren quartz These came and to say the least, MT. Lister
 was astonished when he read them.
 The barren quartz assayed If ounces of silver, 7s ounces of gold and F per cent. copper, with value of SlS6 per ton. The pay streak carried 14 per cent. copper, 19 ounces of silver and the gold in three different assays was 23 ounces, 23i ounces and 24i ounces, giving it value of from S5O3 tn 532 per ton. This is tho Greatest strike ever made~ ~.n the Virginia us trict. 1t is doubtful if there has been more than specimen of gold rock taken from that district that assayed more than two ounces of gold, and to find twenty-four ounces of gold was paralyzing. How long the vein will carry this gold value is a problem that no man can answer at present, but it is safe to say that Mir. Lister will find out. He had made all preparations to leave for Pennsylvania to spend the holidays with his family, and when he read the assay returns he did not know whether he had better go or stay. The first thing he did was to tele- graph the secretary of the company to sell no more treasury stock at pre- vious quotations. He finally con- cluded to go home, to consult with the other officers of the company, as well as to celebrate Christmas. Be- fore he left he instructed Superin- tendent Briel to continue sinking on the vein. and to sack all the ore he takes out, both the barren quartz and the pay streak.-Liberal.
