TWO YEARS
OF SCIATICA
SUFFERING OF A LOCO
MOTIVE ENGINEER.
Patient Permanently Cured by DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
After Being Confined to Bed fol
Months and When Ordinary Rem
edies Failed to Bring
Relief

Pain that seems almost unbearable
is Il characteristic of sciatic rheuma'
t;sm. In some cases the pain is knife,
like. sharp or shooting; in others 1t is
duh and aching. If- acute cases there
is some fever but in the more frequent
chronic cases there is little or no heat
in the affected part.
Sciatica is stubborn in resisting
treatment and the patient frequently
suffers for years. This was the case
with Mr.. Herbert f. Spaulding, loco
motive engineer on the Cincinnati,
New Orleans & Texas Pacific Railway,
whose home is at Longview, Texas.
Mr. Spaulding endured the agonies OF
sciatica for two years in spite of all
that ordinary remedies could 90 for
him until he tried DR. Williams Pink
Pills and was cured.

The career of Mr.. Magoon is seven

very properly boil down his career to
a matter of two years. for until he was

SHIPPING ORE
ON THE SURFACE

c. C. Caperton has returned from
the new copper and gold district, six
miles east of Spruce siding on the Ne
,vada Northern railroad. He says that
Tom Bannigan and Bray have fourteen
Groupings of shipping ore upon their
group of twenty-one claims and will
soon commence sending ore to the
smelters. Their lowest assay from
these surface ores is $50 in gold and
copper and Mr.. Caperton says that ne
took ore from the location holes of the
Last Chance group of seventeen claims,
adjoining the Bannigan and Brady
ground, and owned by ]. A. Fesler and
Charles McFadden, which shows equal
value.
The new mineral territory has been
formed into district called the Mizpah
mining district, and a townsite has
boen selected upon the Bannigan and
Brady ground. The town will be called
Mizpah. 1t is already quite tent set
tlement and new people are fiocking in
every day. The men there now are
prospectors and men who are engaged
npon the location work of the claim
owners.
'There is great future for the new
camp" said Mr.. Caperton. "It is able
to produce shipping ore from the aurf-
ace, and the location holes show i'm
proved conditions with depth.
The new district is at the base of
