HEALTHY MOTHERS.

Mothers should always keep in good
bodily health. Theyowe it to their chill

a mother, with babe in arms, coughing
violently and exhibiting all the symptoms
of a consumptive tendency. And why
should this dangerous condition exist,
dangerous alike to mother and child,
when DR.. Boschee's German Syr-
up would put a stop to it at once? No
mother should be without this old and
tried remedy in the house-for its time

1t is no doubt generally noted with
regret that such well known local farm
ers as Peter Stewart and Alex. Came
ron are retiring from active work this
spring. Their purpose of doing SO is
attested by the selling off of their
stock and machinery and renting their
farms. That they are not dissatisfied
with Cavalier county, where they have
done we'll for upwards of twenty years, is
shown by the fact that they are only rent
ing their respective properties. They
have proven themselves to be success
full and we hate to see them go. Both
Mr.. Stewart and Mr.. Cameron, and num-
Der of others we have in mind, have
earned their competency, and we'll do
they deserve it as in every case we have
IN mind they have borne the brunt of the
pioneer days, when the lot of the
early settler was anything but easy, but
they made good in the end-and those
who follow can do likewise.

'"The use of the diamond drill in
mining is coming into greater popular.
ity than ever BEFORE" says E. H.
Knight, secretary of the Diamond
Drill Contracting company, of this
CITY, Mine owners are coming to
realize that it much cheaper to pros
pect with diamond drill than to drive
an expensive tunnel. The drill avoids
the time and expense of driving tun-
mel which may not find ore.
.:We are now running eight diamond
drills, the largest number we have
ever had working at one time. We
are drilling on the War Eagle and the
Centre Star at Rossland, B. c.; Sulli-
van Group, at Marysville, Mont; Daily
Reduction property, at Hedley, B. c.;
B. G. Copper property, at Princeton,
Il. c.; John R. Cooks property, at
Kendall, Mont; The North Moccasin
II. A. brakes mine), at Kendall,
Mont, and the BullaM, at Kendall.
We have just finished a contract for
the Pittsburg & Montana at Helena,
Mont.
Most of the work done on these
properties was the running of 300 or
400 foot holes to locate veins. A
drill will average about Is feet day,
though we have done as high as 48
feet in ten hours.
"The cutting power of diamond
drill is derived from row of black
diamonds set on the end of the drill.
These diamonds are mined In Brazil.
They come to us in the rough, usually
in two to three karat size, and cost
$625O a karat. There are eight of
them on each drill. They are set in
the drill rough, but soon wear round.
A diamond lasts anywhere from two
weeks to over a year, according to the
stone. When they break up the pieces
are collected and sent back to New
York, where they are sold again.
1--WE keep good supply of extra
diamonds on hand while the drills are
working. We have about 10 diamonds,
which average over two karats each.
At $62.5O a karat their total vaMe
runs over $4,000.
I'VE maintain machine shops at
Occur d'Alene city, Idaho, and make
ali parts for diamond drills. We have
made a complete drill. The drills,
without the diamonds. cost from ST.
900 to $1,000. They have been built
to drill over a mile. One hole in
South Africa is over 5000 feet deep.
The longest hole we ever made was
1900 feet long on the Tiger oorman
ct Burke, Idaho. "-Spokesman-Rev
The problem now confronting the
Tonopah New mines is that of dis
posing of the output of the district.
Owing to the highly salicious nature
OF the ores the Salt Lake shelters
have notified the companies that
more than the present output of about
1000 tons a week can not be accept
ed and to discourage shipments from
the Goldfield district, treatment rates
have been advanced to 81 ton, and
in fact large portion of the heavy
shipments from the Reilly lease were
sent to the Globe smelter at Denver.
