A poor sufferer from Indigestion

though some of them we're on fire and
burning up inside.
When the stomach and the organs
of digestion ard nutrition are weak
ened and do not act properly, the
symptoms of i'll health that follow are
many and varied. There is often a
feeling of heaviness in the stomach,
there is distress and nervousness, diz-
illness, nausea, nervous and sick head
aches, inability to sleep we'll, pains in
the side and limbs, specks before the
eyes and a general peevish, irritable
condition.
All these troubles are the direct re-
suit of Indigestion Cure this by
strengthening the stomach and diges-
tive system with Mi-o-na stomach tab
let's and your symptoms of i'll health
will vanish like dew before the morn
ing sun: life will be Joyous, and diges-
ton will be so natural that you will
forget you have a stomach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets cost but SOC
a box and are sold by VIM l.. GOkay
under an absolute guarantee that they
will be successful in every case where
used according to directions or money
will be refunded.

A RICH STRIKE.

Reports have just reached here
from an authentic source that
Arthur Murphy has struck it
rich for the E. & F. Co., owning
the Ida May group near Bristol.
The strike was made on the Ohio
claim just south of the board
house on ground supposed to be
barren until a small streak of
ore was recently uncovered by
former Superintendent Free but
which was not developed at that
time. A force of men were put
to work on the Ohio a few days
ago by Superintendent Murphy
and in less than ten feet it has
opened to four feet in width
carrying more than $50 ounces
of silver, 8 per cent copper and
40 per cent lead per ton. 1t is
estimated that $50. per day is
being taken out by each man.
This is only one of the many
rich strikes which will be made
throughout this section under
proper development on ground
least expected to carry mineral.

UNUSAL.

One of the most continuous
and general rain storms known
to fall in this section for years
has prevailed four days ending
Wednesday evening Of this week.
One peculiar feature of the
storm is it has not thumdered
and the rain has been almost con-
slant, intermittent with oc-
casional sunshine, something I'M
usal for this season of the year.
Generally the latter part of
August and fore part of Septem-
Der is accompanied with violent
rains, murging into full grown
water spouts. Such condition
resulted last season in the wash
ing out of fifty miles of San
Pedro railroad in Meadow Valley
wash 80 miles south of here, and
at this writing trains are not
running over the line on account
of damages done by this last
general rain. There are two sign
ifcant facts connected with
these Incidents; one is there is
little doubt but that great climatic
conditions are undergoing q
change throughout this section
on account of the flooding of q
large territory of depressed land
south of here by the turning Of
the channel of the Colorado river,
and the other is the eventual
Abandonment of the Meadow
Valley Wash as a railroad
thoroughfare. Of course this will
not effect the branch line from
Caliente to Phoebe now ready for
construction, but will necessarily
force the main line of the Los
Angeles route through Phoebe.
These are suggestions worthy Of
serious thoughtby those interest
ed in this community and is one
of the many reasons why Phoebe
is likely to be the metropolis Of
southeastern Nevada.
The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1906-1908, 1906-08-24
NOT DESERTED.

Perhaps one of the fundamental
reasons why it has rained
in this section so much this year
is the fact that nature always
provides on emergency for adj
verse conditions. For years
there has been little going on
around here, no prospectors and
few other people and hence no
use for water and grass. Even
well known springs have dried
up, very likely on account of dis
use. Conditions have changed
and nature seems to be respond
ing. The hills are now speckled
with prospectors and they are
still coming, and their burTos
have to eat and drink. At this
rate there might be a scarcity,
hence one Of the most glorious
rains in the knowledge of early
settlers has fallen.

PIocHE wRITE-UP.

In the last issue of the Salt
Lake Mining Review appears an
elaborate and efficient Illustrated
paper on the resources of
Phoebe and vicinity and the ease
with which the facts are given
marks talent in the writer and
makes interesting reading at
home as well as abroad. The
fact that the subject was done
justice is appreciated by the
citizens here, and but for the
fact that some of our business
institutions were unintentionally
overlooked this issue of the Re-
view would ever be preserved as
a memento of the good will of
the writer by those who were
fortunate enough to secure a
copy.
But Inadvertently The Review
failed to mention some of the
leading, if not in fact the lead
ing business institution Of Phoebe
that of ]. A. Nesbitt, General
Merchandise, H. H. Lee, Butcher
and most important of all, that
of A. S. Thompson & Co. This
establishment of general mer-
chandise, in the true meaning of
the word, is one of years stand
ing and has always been the
leading business house in this
section of the country. The
proprietors, Messrs Charles and
Frank Thompson, are up-to-date,
enterprising and public spirited
citizens enjoying the respect and
confidence Of the community,
while much can be said of the
other neglected businesses.

1t is rumored there is strike
threatened at Phoebe. We under

usual at the Day mine, No. !
