One striking effect of the rural free
delivery is the facility it affords for get
ting speedy Information and the conse-
auent educational results among the
people. Being able to have them de-
iivered while fresh, thousands of farmers
are now taking daily papers which are
delivered at their doors every morning
and evening. In this way they keep
well posted on current events of the
world and know what is doing in poll
tics and business. 1t is common thing
to find the best magazines and period
icals in farmers' parlors and their sons
and daughters talk intelligently on all
subjects of general interest. Farm pa
pers, too, of the best class, are widely
distributed and our rural population ia in

That's what a prominent
druggist said of SCOTS
Emulsion a short time
ago. AS a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
similar expressions are
made so often in connec-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy OF
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying inn
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The act t i n OF
SCOTS Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish-
ment-the kind of nourish-
ment that cannot be OBJ
tanned in ordinary food.
No system is too weak or
delicate to retain SCOTS
Emulsion and gather good
from it.

John O'Day, after being imprisoned in

last Sunday morning. after heroic work
performed by relays Of the best miners
IN the upper end OF the county. Over
,4o cars cf dirt were trauimed out be,
fore O'Day was released. He was not
injured and Was abie to frog upon
reaching G<orEesovn. Many fr;ends Ia
this city kept the telephones busy in
ascertsining the progress Of the rescuinp
party. and many volunteers would have
started for the county seat had theii
assistance been requested OF required
O'Day Was in periious position during
the entire time Of his imprisonment,
having TO cling to the rungs Of ladder
Should he have fallen asleep he would
have dropped into the vortex Of .
big chute and been crushed by the con
stantiy moving mass Of rock and debris
The fact that foul air might overcome
him at any moment made his position
more hszstdous. The Colorado Tele
phone company very kindly furnished
wire and telephone which was placed
in the mine enabling the rescuing part,
to keep IN touch with each other aud

FORTUNE SMILES
SECOND SHIPMENT FROM OLD TOWN
STRIKE BRINGS eic CHECK.
ROYALTY WILL SWELL DIVIDENDS
A rwENrv-roor DRIFT YIELDS NEARLY
$4,000 WORTH OF ORE.

On "Wednesday settlement was made at
the sampler for the second shipment of
ore from the recent big strike in the
Wau'auga vein from the 8oo-foot level of
the Old Town mine, in Russell gulct
1and the indications are that the lucky
iessers will clean up fortune from the
block Of ground. The shipment weighed
$1,000 pounds gross, or nineteen and
oue-hsh tons. and the control assays
were 4 81 ounces gold, and S SO ounces
silver per ton. and nine-tenths of one
per cent. copper. the gross value per ton
being fes 90. The check received from
the ore buyers for the lot of ore called
for fI.652-6s. The shipmen, was taken
out in weeks time in driving the drift
about fourteen feet The drift on the
vein is little over twenty feet in length
and no s,oping has yet been done and
lessees have received for the ore taken
out in driving this distance. Ss,s1e SIS,
the vein being four feet between walls
and the drift less than six fee, high.
Dslzatte and company are the lucky
leasers. They were four months IN
driving cross-eut sixty feet throug.I
the very hardest kind of rock, and
were about to abandon the work
when the Wautauea vein was reached
week before last Manager Geo. X
Kimbail has been hesiegcd with applica

the rews of the strike was made public
IN this paper, but in all probability the
ground will be worked by the company,
and 1t will materially increase the out
put Of the mine The lessees pay a
royalty of 33b per cent gross, which is
all profit to the Old Town company. and
makes . handsome addition to the ex-
chequer for dividend purposes. The
leas~rs have block of ground seventy
feet high and for one hundred feet
along the vein. and should the balance
