The Best Guaranty of Merit
Is Open Publicity,

Every bottle OF DIR. Pierce's world
famed MEDICINES leaying, the great labo;
its nt9 p all the frs @
alone places DR.. Pierce's Family Medi-
cines In a class dll by themselves. They
cannot be classed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
is why so many unprejudiced physicians
'Ias heir patients. e Afi They Sno% What % they ~
are composed Of, and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
The, further fact that neither pr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the
heart regulator and blood purifier. nor his
"Fayorite Prescription" for weak, over
worked, broken down, nervous women,
contains any alcohol, also entities them
to q place all by themselves.
Many years ago, DR.. Pierce discovered
strength, is better solvent and preserv-
ative of the medicinal principles resid-
ing in our Indigenous, or native. medi-
cinal plants than is alcohol; and, further.
more, that it possesses valua BILE medicinal
properties of its own, being demulcent,
nutritive, antiseptic, and q most efficient
antiferment.
Neither Of the above medicines con-
tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit
forming drug, as will be seen from a
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think of using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines.
Every ingredient entering into the com
position of DIR. Pierce's medicines has
the strongest kind of an endorsement
from leading medical writer's of the
several schools of practice. No other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con
stipation. Constipation is the cause ol
many diseases. Cure the cause and you
cure the disease. One "Pelletn is a gentle
laxative. and two mild cathartic. Drug
gists sell them, and nothing is ujust as
good" Easy to take as candy.

To substantiate the statements
made on the first page regarding
two of the leading mines of Gilpin
county, it may be said that SO val
liable are the Old Town and Pc
wabic that sister city in an ad-
joining county disregards the
tenth commandment, "Thou shalt
not covet thy neighbor's prop.
erty," to such an extent that it
claims these mines top buildings,
machinery, shaft and all, notwith-
standing the fact that the city in
question is as far from the prop
critics as a reformless sinner is
from the pearly gates.
Gilpin observer., 1906-05-10

Gilpin county within the next
three or four months will be one
of the liveliest mining sections of
the state. The camp undoubtedly
has taken on new life and more ac-
tivity is apparent than has been
for three years past. Many
good properties are being started
by strong companies that regard
mining as a business and not as q
game of chance. Companies with
capital to properly develop the
mines is what has been needed in
the county and these are COM
mencing to come.

Representative O'Connell, of
Clear Creek county, in last weeks
issue Of the Idaho Springs Gazette
had another of his interesting let
ters in which he hayed Simon
Guggenheim and his smelters for
their unjust treatment to the min
ing men of the state and particu-
larly his district. Mr.. O'Connell
can't see how it is that miner of
his county only received $4,000
for shipment of ore that should
have netted him S1,37200. Min
ing men of this county meet with
these experiences right along but
have gotten so used to the smelter
graft they have ceased to COM
plain. They understand that Mr..
Guggenheim ia a most cheerful
giver to the School of Mines and
other institutions and while he re-
ceives the credit for being very
generous individual they feel that
they should contribute their share
to make these gifts possible. Not
only this, but Mr.. Guggenheim
intends to 60 to the United States
senate and in order to accomplish
that purpose much money will be
distributed in this county and the
that have been held back
Oh the ore shipped to his smelters
by the miners, will then be paid
to them. This is the way we have
the matter sized up over here and
therefore offer no complaint. Mr..
OConnell does not look at things
in the right light, Giat'., all.

Wednesday mornings Denver
News contained a splendid article
from Judge Belford in which he
eulogized Senator Patterson. It
was not only we'll written, but
every word of it was truthful. 1t

man for his pigmy opponents to

The shortage in the postal de-
partment last year was $14,0OO,-
600. If the government would re-
fuse to carry long-winded senator
ial speeches as mail without any
charge, saying nothing of statisti-
cal reports, seeds and other rub
bish, the postal department could
easily be made to pay operating
expenses.

 Stories of loss of life greatly exagger- ated. Have been in city every day from the first. Have mep reporting to me continually from all parts of city and do not believe the list will reach four hundred. My estimate from statements travel fast and the authorities took trou- be to keep ahead of flames notifying people of the danger and caring for the helpless"
 Another message of same date from Su- perintendent Leach says:
 Tn matter of establishment bureau of information, suggest you find relief com mittees in both cities are trying to accom- plish this purpose with aid of the As sociated Press. Had talk with Manager at this time to try to get through such in- formation, as wires more than 4s hours behind with private and official mes sages Would suggest that reassuring telegrams be spread through country that stories of loss of life have been most grossly exaggerated. Loss of life and list of injured exceedingly small considering extent of disaster"

TWENTY-SIX MILES ROUND BURNED AREA
WITHIN THIS cHARREp DISTRICT THERE REMAINS BUT A FEW HOUSES THAT ARE STILL HABlTA6LE.

San Francisco, April 22 The fire having exhausted itself with the exception of the still flaming embers In a thousand places here and there. the Associated Press for the purpose of determining with accuracy the boundaries of the confiagration sent out an automobile today which skirted the first district on it's four sides. The register of this machine at the end of the trip showed that it had travelled 26 miles, which therefore may be taken as the length of the line along which the flames travelled. making total of seven square miles. This area included the financial, commercial and most of the densely pop ulated portion of the residence district, with all the splendid institutions and great mansions that had grown up with the progress of the city.
 Within this vast waste of smouldering embers were found three cases where human beings still have their habitations as before the fire. One of these was on the very summit of Telegraph Hill, where perhaps a score of homes still stand At the northwest corner of Jones and Green the residence of O. D. Bald win is still habitable. Across the way Mrs. Edward Huber has preserved her home. On the south line of Green are the residences of Kirk Harris, G. J. Phillips. B. J Birdsall William Hanke, Charles O'Brien and Martin Fussier, also the homes of II. P. Lvermore on Vallejo street, Miss K. NJ. Atkinson. Homer Par ker.

 The courageous men and women who saved their homes in their great thankful ness for the mercy shown them have only this small complaint-that in their distress they have been quite abandoned by the constituted authorities and have organized a patrol system of their own.

The one re- maining spot unburned within the district is bounded by Montgomery, Battery, Jackson and Washington. Within this district is the appraisers building in which Is stored half million dollars worth of valuable wares belonging to the importing merchants of San Fran cisco the saving of this, and the adjon- ing buildings is due to the heroic endeav- ors of Captain Walsh and with his men of Company n. Twenty-second United States infantry, who, with such means as they had at hand, succeeded in fighting off the devouring element.
