CURED BY CUTICURA
IN TWO WEEKS

Mrs.. George J. Steese, of 7oI Coburn
ST., Akron, Ohio. tells in the following
letter Of another Of those remarkable
cures of torturing, disfiguring skin
humors daily made by Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment,
after physicians, and all else had
failed: al feel it my duty to parents
Of other poor suffering babies to tell
you what Cuticura has done for my
little daughter. She broke out all
over her body with a humor, and we
used everything recommended. but
without results. l called in three doc
tors, they all claimed they could help
her. but she continued TO grow worse.
Her body was a mass OF sores, and her
little face was eaten away, her ears
looked as if they would drop of.
Neighbors advised me to get Iu - "a
Soap and Ointment, and before / nad
used half OF the cake of soap and
box Of ointment the sores had all
healed, and my little ones face and
body was as clear as a newborn babes.

cents, which is all it cost us to cure
our baby, after spending many dollars

Southwestern Stock

The future OF the public range Is
a matter that largely concerns every
range c%attlemfan In the southwest.
The subject has been receiving much
attention and thought Of late and the
following extract on the subject, from
the biennial report OF the live stock
sanitary board OF Arizona, will not be
without interest.
What viii be the future Of the range
in Arizona? The whole area of the
territory comprises about 10000, 600
acres. less than s per cent OF which Is
susceptible of being reclaimed by irri-
cation within a cost not exceeding
what would be It's market value after
reclamation had been accomplished.
The remaining 80 per cent is a. cattle
range. the ownership OF which Is at
present vested principally In the Unit
cd States government. Obviously. any
plan which Will cause these lands 10
be made more productive will be
welcomed by the people OF the terri
tory. AT present the use of these lands
as d public range for cattle Is unre-
stricted by law. and no rental Is re-
CURED by the government, 1t has
been suggested that these lands be
leased by people engaged in the live
stock industry In large tracts aud for
sufficiently long terms, to admit OF

be given next week by Edward
Holmes Sickels, a Nevada born youth
who lost his sight at the age of three
years.
Young Sickels exhibited musical
talent at an early age and it has
been developed by study under some
of the best Eastern teachers Be-
sides being pianist he plays the
pipe organ and has composed some
excellent music.
The Chicago Chronicle says; "Mr
Sickels is musician OF rare accom-
plishments. !"
The Chicago Tribune says: "All his
playing demonstrates rare interpre-
tation gifts. He plays with precision,
and yet with an artistic finish that
shows keen esthetic appreciation of
the beauty and refinement of sound,
and has q fine bass voice that has
won him almost as much fame as his
playing.

with his daughter, two weeks ago,
Sheriff Logan was an involuntary
witness of prize fight near the ceme-
terry. 1t seems that two well-known
mining men had quarrel the night be-
fore and decided to settle their diff
ferences by a fist fight They and sew
eral seconds repaired to the cemetery
the following morning and fought it
out, or attempted to, for they had
hardly begun when Sheriff Logan hove
in sight and took them both to the city

Sawle on the following day and were
told that although they had not paid
the license of 81, 900 required for prize
fights, they had certainly respected the
law enough in going to the extreme
limits of the town to engage in fisti.
cuffs and discharged them with the
command go and Sin No More.

GOLD MOUNTAIN
ATTRACTING NOTICE
Annual Meeting of the Tonopah Gold
Mountain Mining Company
is Held.

Gold mountain, that rich, but long
neglected district FIVE miles south of
Tonopah, is attracting considerable
attention at the present time and
there is a big demand for claims in
that section.
Many companies are at work de-
veloping their properties and the out
look for the future of the district Is
quite promising.
The Tonopah Gold Mountain Min
ing Company, which is the principal
one operating in the district, is max
ing shipments regularly. This COM
pany held its annual meeting last
Tuesday afternoon and transacted
considerable business of Importance
The report of the superintendent
James Wilkinson, showed that seven
thousand dollars worth of ore was
shipped by the company during the
past twelve months. The report also
showed that there is about $4,000
worth of good shipping ore on the
dumps at the present time, in addi-
tion to a vast quantity of milling ore.
During the fiscal year, 1,70O feet Of
work has been done. Superintendent
Wilkinson expressed the opinion that
a rich body of ore could be found by
extending the west tunnel, as greater
depth could be obtained from this
tunnel. The matter was left to
Manager Winghelu and the tunnel
will be extended.
Six hundred thousand shares OF
stock were represented at the meet
ing, which was harmonious through
out, the best of feeling prevailing.
A vote of thanks for work done in
the interests of the company during
the past year was accorded to Man
ager George Wingfield, also to Sec
retary and Treasurer e. Sutro and to
Mr.. Wilkinson for the efficient man
ner in which he has conducted the

the silver values are in the minority

gold occurs free. In this respect, Bull
frog differs from both Tonopah and
Goldfield. The Bullfrog mines furn-
ish much specimen ore. the Original
Bullfrog ore being especially fne for
jewelry."
Supt. r. w. Gordon has eight men
doing surface work on the Tramps,
developing the ledges which will later
be opened by deep tunnels and drifts.
Some excellent ore is being taken
out of the second level on the Denver.
About 100 sacks have been saved. The
stope will soon be in shape for a
larger output.
The open cut, which is prosecuting
the formation on the Turps, has been
extended for eighty-flve feet, expos

posed rhyolite that carries small

The Bullfrog minin district was
one year old on the 9th Of this month
and in reviewing the growth of the
district during that period of time,
the Rhyolite Herald gives the fol-
lowing interesting facts.
"A careful estimate Of development
work done in the Bull Frog district
in the year past brings the aggregate
up to 10000 linear feet. This esti-
mate does not include location work
but represents actual development
only.
From figures made public, 1t is
estimated that sales of properties and
interests, not counting treasury stock,
together with the sums represented in
properties under bond and lease, will
aggregate s2,25O,OOO for the first
year.
"There are at least S5 incorporated
companies organized to develop prop
critics in the Bull Frog district 1t
is not over optimistic to state that
there are at least thirty-five very
promising properties in this district
at the present stage of development
that should make mines IL surface In
dications count.
"The one striking feature of the
Bullfrog district lies in the strength
of its ledges. Another characteris-
tic of the district lies in the variety
of formations and occurrences oi
ores. The Original Bullfrog is on q
contact of lime and quartzite and
the quartz is very sillcious, carrying
both gold and silver free.

WEST TONOPAH
MAKES GOOD STRIKE
Shaft on This Promising Property West
of Tonopah is in Lode of
Porphyry.

one OF the most important strikes
ever made in the Tonopah district,
vas that in the West Tonopal this
week, when the lode porphyry was
encountered at depth of 375 feet,
indicating great mineral deposits. 1t
is the intention of the company, how
ever, to sink the shaft to depth OF
500 feet before establishing a sta
ton. The shaft recently penetrated
twenty feet of tale anil gouge, every
foot OF which carried values, as wei,
as many stringers of quartz similar
to those found in the b,g mines OF
the camp. II the showing In this
property holds good and shipping ore
is encountered, the event will prove
Of the greatest Importance to Tono-
