EXPRESSIVE NAME FOR In
DIGESTION.

Elliott 6 Harvey Have Sim pie
Remedy That Is 6uara nteed tc
Cure the Trouble
No one word better expresses
the condition Of the sufferer
from weak stomach or indiges-
tion than misery" The stom-
ach is weak and cannot digest
the food, so that there is no
appetite, there are pains and
gripping in the stomach and
bowels, the head and back ache
and the misery goes to every
organ.
Strengthen the stomach and
the digestive system by the use
of Mi-o-na. This is the only
stomach remedy known that
gives relief by strengthening
the stomach and digestive or
gans. 1t is this principle that
makes it a certain cure for in
digestion. Other medicines may
give temporary relief by help
ing digest the food, but they
do not strengthen the stomach,
and that organ gets weaker
and weaker all the time.
Elliott & Harvey, the reliable
retail druggists, have so much
confidence in this remarkable
remedy that they guarantee a
cure, or the money will be re-
funded. Miona costs but so
cents a box. Ask to see the
strong guarantee given with
every box.
Mi-o-na is in tablet form and
should ssbe taken before each
meal. Other remedies for
stomach troubles and indiges-
ton are Itaken after the meal,
and decompose the good food
you eat, but Mona used be-
fore eating strengthens the
stomach, soothes and heals all
irritation and inflammation, en-
riches the blood, and puts the
stomach in such a healthy con-
dition that it will take care of
the food itself and there will
be no pain and suffering.

Repairs on Fairfield.

Within month or shortly thereafter
the Fairfield mine in Russell, which was
closed down about three months ago
owing to fire which occurred and de.
stroyed the shaft house and completely
ruined the machinery, will be in readi-
ness for the resumption OF operations
Glanville 4 Peck, who received the con.
tract for the erection OF the new 2Ox6i
shaft house, will TO able to commence
the construction OF same within week
or ten days. Stroehle & Son. OF Black
Hawk, have received the order for the
machinery, which will consist OF an
80 horse power boiler and 9xl0 Vulcan
hoist. Tho machinery will be installed
before the shaft house is completed to
facilitate the work OF installation.
The origin Of the fire which destroyed
the top buildings and machinery on the
Fairfield is not known, but it is suppos.
ed to have been caused by spontaneous
combustion. The property has been
idle since the fire, entailing heavy loss
to the operators as the mine was pro.
ducing heavily at the time operations
we're necessarily suspended.

Dies In Cripple Creek.

Much sorrow was occasioned the resi-.
dents Of this city last evening when the
report Of the death OF Mrs. Thomas
Tucker, which occurred in Cripple
Creek yesterday afternoon was circulat.
ed. Death was caused from the effects
OF an operation that had been performed
Monday.
Deceased was daughter OF Mayor
Ii. p. Davies and was raised in this city
She was married here about six years
ago. About year ago the family left
for Victor where Mr.. Tucker has been
employed on the Independence mine as
engineer. Besides a husband a little
son survives her, and her father and
Mrs. w. o. Jenkins, sister, Of this city
and sister, Mrs. VIM. Mcleod, residing
in Victor. The remains will be shipped
to Denver and burial will be made in
Fairmopt cemetery tomorrow.
Mrs. Tucker was widely known in Gil.
pin county and her countless friends are
deeply grieved over her untimely death
The survivors have the sympathy of this
community in their hour of affiiction.

the Central.

Fl. A. Campbell, Of Golden, an old
pioneer Of this ection and former resi-.
dent OF Central City, was an arrival yes.
terday. He was accompanied by j. h.
Martin, president of the Royal Stove &
Range company. Of Greenyille. o. The
object of the visit of these two gentle
men was to look over some mining prop.
critics Mr.. Campbell owns on Bellevieu
mountain. The properties are the Cen
tral and the Winlock lodes, the latter
adjoining the former on the west. The
lodes are located in the same district
and are near the we'll known Specie Pay
ment and the German mines. On Mr..
Campbell's properties tunnel. has been
driven from the west slope to distance
OF sixty eight feet, on 4la-foot vein.
Both the Central and the Winlock lodes
are situated in very rich section and
with proper development would no doubt
prove az good producers as some OF the
older mines near them, for instance the
Specie payment. which has been good
dividend payer for years. Mr.. Martins
object in making visit to the Central
and Winlock was to look over the prop
critics with the view Of interesting some
eastern parties with him to drive the 60
foot tunnel a considerable distance on
the AZ foot vein and opening up a good
ore body.

Good Ore in Cook.

Sixteen men were laid of on the Cook
Tuesday. These were machine men, and
their being laid OIL does not indicate
that the mine is going to close down by
any means, as many supposed when this
was first announced. On the contrary
the ore being opened up is Of such a
high grade it would not be surprising to
see this famous property employing more
men in short time than it has for sew.
eral years past. The reason for with.
drawing the machine men was due to
the fact that good body OF high grade
ore had been struck and the machines
were breaking too wide, making too
much waste rock, and consequently
could no be worked to advantage. A
large force Of hand men are to be put on
in place Of the machine men, in fact
many more than were laid of when 1t
was discovered that the hand men could
be worked to better advantage for the
present than the men operating the ma.
chine drills.

To Cot the Fostoria.

The Fostoria Gold Mining company,
who leased the right OF way to work
their property in the Pleasant Valley dis.
trict through the the Hudson Burr tun-
pnel commenced drilling this week. The
mouth of the tunnel is in Clear Creek
county and penetrates Nighthawk mount.
ain. Work Of driving the tunnel has
been under way for several years and be-
fore the present lessees took hold to
drive the additional distance required by
the terms of the lease, was in 100 feet.
Before striking the vein OF the Fostoria,
the company will have to drive an ad ..
ditional 400 feet. They will cut the Fos-
toria vein at depth of about 600 feet.
In driving the 400 feet to their vein the
Fostoria people will cut the st. Joseph
and the Galatea groups and it is thought
that the tunnel will unwater these prop
critics.
Since taking lease ON the tunnel the
Fostoria company have erected a sub
stantial building at the mouth OF the
tunnel and have placed therein a 12x12
compressor. The 400 feet they are re-
quired to drivewll be with air drills. The
formation through which they will have
to drill is hard rock and the management
estimate that siy feet can be driven each
day. Only one shift is now working.
but the company. intends to add the
night shift within short time. The
work OF driving the tunnel is under the
direction of w. E. Campbell.

Rich Strike.

The Idaho Springs correspondent to
the Denver Times had the following in
Tuesdays paper regarding a rich strike
recently made in the Old Town mine in
Russell Gulch:
FOLLOWING the distribution yesterday
OF dividend checks for approximately
$4,000 to the stockholders of the Old
Town Consolidated Mining company
comes the announcement of what may
prove to be the greatest strike in the
Russell gulch section in the past decade.
A few weeks ago Dalzat & Co. were
given lease on block of ground west
from the 800 foot level of the Old Town
shaft, and aftei driving cross-cut sixty
feet they encountered the Wautauga
vein, west Of its junction with the Old
Town, exposing a four-foot streak Of
solid smelling ore.
The first shipment OF carload Of the
ore was settled for at the sampling
works today, and gave returns of 355
ounces gold, 104 ounces silver and 2.6
per cent copper, or a gross value of
ssO64 per ton. The Wautauga vein for
800 feet above the point where the strike
was made is virgin territory, and the
find shows that there is probably an i'm. .
mense body of rich ore whose existence
has not been heretofore suspected, and
it will at once be thoroughly exploited
by the management"

We take tbe opportunity Of answering
the attack made on US last week 10 the
Register Call to the effect that "people
at the south end Of Main street are
complaining greatly Of those who make
it practice Of going to the Armory hall
nearly every night and keeping up a
general hubbub or rough house until
after midnight." We feel deeply
chagrined over the foregoing for the
reason that the statements made
are absolutely false and unfounded, and
the attack uncalled for. We would like
to say in vindication Of the members Of
our club, which assertion will be verified
by our many friends-the majority OF
the citizens-that the membership of
our society is composed Of gentlemen
who are above committing such acts as

last week, and are not hoodlums as that

MUST PAY PROPER
RATE OF TAX
Mineral Land Not to be As.
sessed as Grazing Ground
Says Assessor.

On Monday evening at the court
James V. Thompson by the Bigelow and
Catherine w. Toll estates against the
valuation OF property in Boulder.
The Bigelow estate, some thirty
years ago, secured 1,240 acres of land on
what is known as soldiers scrip home
stead. Mrs. Toll secured about two and
one-half miles in the same manner. This
scrip was issued by the government for
the purpose Of assisting old soldiers of
the Civil war in securing homes and
also for the upbuilding of the then new
western country. This land was taken
up as grazing and timber land. Since
the time OF patent the assessors OF Gill
pin county have been assessing this
land at from $500 to S375 per acre
Within the past ten years mineral has
been found on all land adjoining and
abutting and when patent was secured
for this mineral land the same was as
sessed at $1,000 per acre.
For several years past Commissioner
Jenkins has attempted to have the Bige-
low and Toll land ASSESSED also at $1,000
per acre, claiming that it was mineral
and not grazing land and therefore was
subject to the former assessment but it
was not until last year that he could
find way to place the valuation at
$1,000 per acre and then under the new
revenue law, the county commissioners
forced Assessor Murley to raise the val
uation to 5000 per acre.
The owners OF both estates have al
ways refused to allow prospecting on
their land and when the valuation was
raised of course complaint was made
and they protested against the payment
OF 1904 taxes and threatened to take the
matter into the courts.
On last Saturday Assessor Thompson
received protest against the 5000 valu-
alton being placed on the property for
1905 and on Monday night granted all
parties concerned hearing. At this
hearing Attorney Monroe OF Denver,
representing the Bigelow estate, and At
torney Sherman, also Of Denver, repres-
enting the Toll estate. made their pleas
to the effect that the assessed valuation
was too high and asked a reduction to
$500 per acre. The county was pre-
pared for them and produced wit
nesses that testified that they had seen
and found mineral on the land in ques-
tlop The attorneys from Denver were
rot prepared to meet this evidence and
were at loss to know what to present.
Assessor Thompson took the matter
uLder advisement and sustained the
county in the $1,000 assess ment, claim
ing the ground to be mineral land.
