LOW GRADE ORE PAYS
CONTINUOUS DIVIDENDS

There is something fascinating
about high grade ores; something
that appeals strongly to certain
class of people, and which leads
them TO investment in a erich
mine rather than in proposition
where the mineral IS of low grade.
This inclination on the part of the
masses of the people is excusable,
and is generally due to their igno-
rance as to what, in a majority of
cases, really constitutes big mine.
The glitter of gold excites nearly
every instinct and emotion of the
human breast; love of wealth and of
power, cupidity, envy, and jealousy,
and many men viii go fairly wild
over a small piece of ore in which
gold is plainly visible to. the naked
eye.
And, yet it is generally the case
that sensationally rich ore exists
only in small veins, shoots ano

THAT DREADED DEIU6E OF
GOLD ABOUT TO EVENTUATE

John L. Covvan contributed to the
New York Evening Post an inter
esting article, entitled Tide of
Gold Rapidly Rising Mr.. Cowan
predicts that the worlds present
supply of gold may be doubled with
in the next ten years Nevada, in
his opinion, bids fair to outstrip
South Africa as a gold producer.
Mr.. Cowan says: THE probable
effect of great and sudden increase
in the worlds supply of gold has
long been favorite topic for aca-

have urged that the disorganizing
of values, the disturbance of in

Wounds, Bruises and Burns.

BY applying an antiseptic dress
ing to wounds, bruises, burns and
like injuries before inflammation
sets in, they may be healed without
maturation and in about one third
the time required by the old treat
mcnt. This is the greatest dis
covcry and triumph of modern sur
gerry. Chamberlain Pain Balm
acts on this same pr inciple. 1t is
an antiscptic and when applied to
such injuries, causes them to heal
very quickly. 1t also sllays the pain
and soreness and prevents any dam
ger of blood poisoning. Keep a
bottle of Pain Balm in your home
and it will save you time and mon
cy, not to mention the inconven-
fence and suffering such injuries
entail. For sale by Roscoe w.

The republican county platform
recommendation that under certain
conditions the property of de-
ceased husband so to the widow
without probate, as it does to the
husband in case of the wife's death,
appears to be Just and equitable
demand. But it's call for direct
primary law is vain delusion and
a snare. That law, as it worked
out in actual practice over in Ore
gon this year, means that offices,
especially those of the state, are put
up to the highest bidder, that the
man with the most time and money
to devote to his campaign OF pub
licity and promotion will win the
nomination The Pretorian guard
never more completely controlled
the sale of office than does the
direct primary law auction off the
nomination to the candidate who is
willing to pay the highest price.

San Francisco is in the grasp OF
a reign of terror Thugs are killing
people, especially business men, at
all hours Of the day, robbery being
the motive. A committee of 100
citizens has been appointed TO drive
the criminal class out of the city.
This committee is divided as TO
which policy to pursue, to take the
law into its own hands. or to per-
nit the law and the police to
dominate their actions. Those
favoring the latter course are, OF
course, conservatives, who have
none of the spirit of the old Wig
ilantes days. Those who advocate
the former plan, say the police are
standing in with the crooks and
murderers, sharing with them the
swag. A policeman is now in jail
accused of robbing a man whom
the thugs had wounded, while ne
was on the operating table. If this
and similar charges prove true, the
citizens committee will have to ig-
more or eliminate the police before
they can successfully reach the real
criminals.

The twenty year old fight for the
county printing is now on. The
candidate who will pay personal
political obligations with county
patronage, or promise to do so, is
the man you want TO vote against.
The paper that supports candi-
date in the hope of receiving such
reward, is not deserving of any
influence with the voter.

done in recording the obituaries
of the good old residents of Brad

life of Mr.. AndrOss, of last week,
will long be remembered especial
ly by the Military fraternity that
wears the copper button, and one
other, Elijah Clough. One little
incident will be remembered by
the members of the old reform
club of 1878, when the question
for discussion was, which offers
the greatest inducement to the
young men, the East or the West.
Elijah got up and said the first
point to be settled was where the
dividing was. His remark was
that it is about the same as tell
ing when a pig becomes a hog, but
the Mississippi river was settled
on. Mrs. Barrett, John Watson
