Ar Abundance oI Gold

Reports from South Africa are to the effect that this year the gold output will be more than $l00, COG.

The record of cures made by the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach I'itters far surpasses that of all ether stomach medicines. The reason for it's success is very plain when you remem- Der the fact that it has often effected cures after other remedies had failed If you have never tried the bitters get bottle today and sec for yourself what a wonderful medicine it is in cases Of poor appetite, headache, vomiting, cramps, diarrhoea, dyspepsia, indiges- tion and malaria.

A D;SCredited Story.

In an extensive and elaborate article the Los Angeles Times tells story of how Capt. Isaac I'olhamus will journey to Guaymas and embark upon an expe- dition to Tiburon island, in the Gulf Of California, in search of adventure, bur- jed treasure and rich minerals. Ac- cording to the Times, thousands of dol lars will be invested in the enterprise in and for various supplies and other purposes. A large body Of armed men will be at the aptain's command, which will include enough Papago warriors to exterminate the entire tribe of the saw age Seri Indians who inhabit Tiburon
 The story told by the imaginative writer of the Times is probably fake, pure and simple, and the Yuma friends of Captain Polhamus do not credit it at all. He is a man 75 years Of ago, of staid, regular habits and would hardly entertain the idea of going on such 6 "wild goose chase" He is spending his vacation in California. Presuma- bly some reporter with more enterprise than veracity manufactured the yarn about the expedition out of whole cloth.

No Right 70 Kick

The fact that the Socialist party had no place irI the official call for prmar- ies and conventions, as published last week, was the fault Of the Socialists themselves, who neglected to file their rule of apportionment. To blame the board uf supervisors for the omission is without justification. It is not the business of the board to notify people or political parties as to the law. As 8 matter of fact The board thought the Socialists would select their candidates by their usual customz-the referendum. If they changed their system after the call was made it was no fault of the board. However, the matter has been settled'by including that party in the call as published today.

The Case of Bid Dnbbs,

Bid Dubbs sat on fence rail for
 three hours Tuesday, whittling. ''- Leesburg (Mo.) Light.
 To sit oa fence rail requires little energy. Itis something, of course, if the sitting be graceful. and Of course that Bid was graceful goes without saying, as it were, so to speak, never theless, and So on. But grace is not the whooptoroora Of life It doesn't put butter on the pancakes. It doesn' t buy peanuts at the circus. So, with all his beauty of movement and the artistic detail with which he draped his legs about the fence, Bid stands convicted, unless, perchance, cur hero be the vic tim of some euvious slanderer, or-Kill- ing time!
 Bat still the incident may be of some value as warning to the youth of America. The spirit of modern Amer ica may be summed up in the little word, hustle. The man who sits on fence rail for three hours and whittles belongs to another age and another land. He is wasting golden opportu- mites. He is allowing his life to go by and the world to turn around without his accomplishing what he ought to accomplish. In the three hours that Bid sat on the fence rail be could have gone to the village store and postol1ice and with a few other sages Of Leesburg solved all the problems of the govern ment He could have read book. He could have made up his mind, packed his clothes in a bandana, caught the train and headed for the city to become a millionaire. Instead he sat on rail anh whittled.
 Are you Bid Dubbs? Do you, fig uratively, sit on the fence rail and Are you allowing opportu- mites to slip past? Are you letting the other fellow" getal9a1 of you in the contest for modest, lithesome, bewitch- ing Nanch? If so, change your ways. Don't be Bid Dubbs.

TURNING THE RIVER.
Work of Making the Colorado Fol- low It's Cid Channel is Being
 Successfully Done.

Inch by inch, the men who are bat tling with the Colorado river are gain ing headway in their efforts to turn il
 back into the old channel, while watch ing the treacherous stream every sec ond and standing guard against be. tfayaI.
 Tn it's utilitarian aspect, the Colorado river is the most important stream west of the Mississippi. Even judged by the present, there is at stake on its control Sl5, ,00O, ,000, including the homes of ten thousand people.
 Looking to the future, here is the American Egypt, now but beginning a period of prolific production, with which no similar area in America can compare.
 As the plan for controlling the river is now being worked out, a canal is be- ing built down to the water level through the cement gate aud thence to d junction with the infowing water just below the Rockwood gate. The bypass through the Rockwood gate is also be- ing dug.
 Brush mattresses are being sunk in the bottom of the infowing stream. which are gradually sitting up the stream and thus preparing It to be turned through the bypass, and when the water is flowing through that gap, the raising of the water will send a portion of the stream through the ce- ment gate.
 It is believed the turning of the wa ter through the cement gate will lead to the cutting out of an ample channel, aud it is the intention as soon as the water is thus brought through the ce- ment gate, to seal up the Redwood gate and bury it under mammoth dike, which will stretch for nine miles across country, from Pilot Knob to high ground on the south, thus protecting the Imperial Valley from similar incur sions of water for all time.
 The Redwood gate has proved sur prise to many engineers, who thought the clement ot insecurity in structure built on silt lay in possibility of un- dercutting by water A coferdam was sunk recently to ascertain the quantity of water underground, and every esti- mate of the quantity of water to be found proved too great, thus indicating greater security than the engineers had believed possible to obtain.

A RICH GOLD STRIKE
Felix MayFew Finds Very ProniS- ing Prospect in the King Of
 Arizona District.

The King of Arizona mining district is now looming big before tho eyes of the mining world on account of rich gold discovery there recently by Felix
 May thew, former citizen of Yuma.
 Tom Underhill, former chairman Of the board of supervisors, was the first to report the discovery of the rich find in Yuma, and his story was quickly confirmed by telegram and then by a letter from George W. Norton, of Mo | hawk.
 It is said that Mayhew has been a most persistent prospector, and eei- dently believing that success would eventually crown his efforts, h IS spent most of his time for years in the mining regions of North Yuma county. He has found many prospects of the com mon small caliber, but this latest dls- covery will probably make him rich
 man.
 George W. Norton, who is well known here as a reliable man, writes as follows concerning the new strike and the district in which it was dis covered:
 "The other day, after a rain, Felix Mayhew went cut north of the King of Arizona mine to look aftor water tanks About two miles north he made won- derful discovery. The recent rain had washed the rocks clean and as he was crossing the vein he saw the gold stick ing out of the quartz. Developments since show a very large vein which will average $40 per ton. Some of the specimens are rich enough to make jewelry of.
 "'fhe King of Arizona mine was dis covered or January l5, 1897, and at that time created quite an excitement. Prospecyors rushed in and soon ran over the surrounding country, and only g few claims with values were found. There is now no doubt about the great value of the King of Arizona mine The main shaft is down 10G0 feet and the ore bodies at that depth are larger and better than on top. There is ore enough blocked out on the different levels to keep the present mill, which has capacity Of l6) tons per day, run ming for the next twenty years. The King of Arizona mine, with it's present developments shows a true Assure vein which will produce ore to any attain able depth. The surrounding country is one immense mineral belt, running northwest by southeast for forty miles, the mine being about the center Of the belt"
 Mir. Norton also says that the dis covery made by Mayhew should be 9 lesson to prospectors, as many of them have tramped over it and found noth ing. He seems to think that slow, dili- gent searching brings quicker and surer reward than rapid, slip-about over country.
