New Zealand Gold Dredges.

The report of the minister for
mines of New Zealand shows that the
value of the mineral production of the
colony in 1904 VS. $17,196,170. against
$17.653,27O in the previous year. The
gold production in 1904 was valued at
$9,937 sos. as against Sl0.1S9,155 In
1903. The decrease last year was
largely due to the long, dry summer,
which caused suspension of operations
ut many mines. The silver production
last year amounted to 1,094,t61 ounces,
against 911,914 ounces in the previous
year Coal production amounted to L.
537.S38 tons, an increase of 117.645
tons. The prominent position occupied
by gold dredging In New Zealand Is
shown by the statement that there are
239 dredges In the colony, OF which 1856
are In regular operation. These give
direct employment to 1900 men. The
absence of rocks In the New Zealand
placer makes the use Of the dredge
comparatively easy.

Insanity and Drunkenness.

There is no question of the fact that
insane asylums all over the world cve
to a great extent recruited from the
class of hard drinkers, and from their
offspring and descendants, says Pear
sons Magazine. Twenty-one per cent
of the lunatics now under restraint in
the United States have an alcoholic
history" liquor being either the sole
or contributing cause of their misfor-
tune. Paresis, which of late year3 has
become so much more common. is a
typical alcoholic brain disease, though
not always attributable to drink It is
noticeabiy frequent among Dr:kers AID
actors, who as a class, are much ad-
dicted to constant 'nipping."
1t is said that. for a skilled patholo-
gist, the effects produced by alcohol
upon the brain of moderate" drinker
are plainly visible under the micro
scope.

NEWS FROM THE MINES and MILLS

After a mine-to-mine canvass the
Lake City Times finds that the output
of Hinsdale county mines in 1905
reached $1S9,S25, divided into $50,547
gold, $50,745 silver, S5O,279 lead, $685.
567 zinc and $14,6S7 copper. In the
New Years News Hinsdale county is
credited with $9,3O6 gold, $35,9O1 sill
yer, $54,635 lead, $5,452 zinc and $1,S12
copper, or total of $107, 106 AS a
general rule the local claims are
higher than the figures in the News
Denver News.
In the history of the Clear Creek
district there has never been a brighter
outlook for the mining industry than
the present time, says the Idaho
Springs correspondent of the Denver
News. This condition is due mainly
to the opening of ore shoots by driv-
ing laterals from the big tunnel enter
prises, and there is not a known eX-
ception where these laterals have been
driven for any reasonable length but
what ore in paying quantities has been
encountered. The local sampling
works of the Chamberlain Dillingham;
Ore Company is running day and night
shifts. but is unable to sample and
purchase all the ore offered, and a
number of leasers are compelled to
ship their ore direct to the smelters in
the valley. While the various strikes
of high grade ore in different sections
of the district are interesting Incl
dents, the shipments of the medium
grade and concentrating ores are the
ones which make the present activity
and yield the largest profits.

FACIAL PARALYSIS
Nervous Distortion Of Face Cured by
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

What appears to be slight nervous
attack may be the forerunner of IA severe
disorder. No nervous sufferer should
neglect the warning symptoms, but
should see that the starved nerves are
nourished before the injury to the deli
cate organism has gone to an extent that
renders cure II difficult matter. The
nervesreceive etheirnourishment through
the blood, the same rs every other part
of the body, and the best nerve tonic and
food is DIR. Williams Pink Pills. The
experience of Mr.. Harry Bemis. of
Truthville, Washington county, n. V,
substantiates this.

who said was suffering from paralysis.
He treated me for some TING, but got
no benefit. tried another doctor and
again failed to obtain any relief My
nervousness increased. Slight noises
would almost make me wild. My mouth

one eye was affected so could hardly

She had used the eame remedy herself

Apprenticeshfp.

The disrepute Into which apprentice
ship has fallen and to which so much
unemployed and unskilled labor Is to
be attributed has no more historical
foundation than has the prevailing dis
like to domestic service Both were
honorable enough professions at one
time, only slightly differing from each
other In etymology az In kind. Tho
apprentice-from the French "appren-
dre," to 1earn-was usually bound for
a term of years to his master, who un-
dertook to maintain and instruct him.
The domestic servant, called a menlal
by law-from being "intra moenia, -
within walls-was, as rule. bound
only for a year. Neither implied any
reproach. Indeed, as in the case Of
Dick Wilmington, the London appren-
tlce was very often the younger son
of a country gentleman. Perhaps the
law made later on and existing into
the seventeenth century under which
all young men and women were COM
pellable by the justices to be appren-
ticed In some way. may have produced
a dislike to apprenticeship. - London

II ever you find yourself getting into
the habit of blinking your eyes rapidly
without any cause stamp the inclina-
tlon out at once. An authority says
that this habit will make your eye
sight fail long before it should. Nat
ural blinking Is essential to clear and
molsten the eyes, and the average num-
ber of natural blnks per minute is
about twenty. These are necessary,
and you do them unconsclously. But a
nervous "blnker" will get in some
thing like a couple OF hundred In a
minute In bad cases, and the result Of
this is a big development of the eye
lid muscles and a counter irritation
that acts on the optic nerve and rem
ders the sight daily more weak and ir-
rltable. The cure consists in keeping
the eyes shut for at least ten minutes
In every hour, thus resting them. and
bathing the lids In warm water.
