BIG LAND FRAUDS IN UTAH.

Rio Grande Railroad Company ant
by the Utah Fuel Company in thi:
state which make the Union Pacific:
alleged Dcculations look insignificant
by comparison.
As a result of the disclosures the In
terstate Commerce Commission is pre-
pairing to make an early and searching
investigation in sessions to be hel6
in this city, in Pueblo and in Denver
A large part of the preliminary worf
Is said to have been done by Fred A
Maynard, special attorney for the gov
ernment, who has been working on the
alleged land fraud cases for severa
months.
Former Judge Elmer E. Thomas
of Omaha, also special counsel for the
commission in the land fraud investi
cations, has taken frequent hand II
the matter. and both have been in con

II is stated that the government
agents have discovered that the rail
road and coal company paid regular
fee of $50 for people to file on govern

HOW DEBILITY SHOWS
And Why Or. Williams Fink Pia.
A-e Specific for Dangerous
Physical Declines,

The symptoms Of general debility vary
according to the cause but weakness il
always present, tendency to perspire
and fatigue easily, ringing in the ears,
sometimes black spots passing before
the eyes, weak back, vertigo, wakeful.
ness caused by inability tc stop thinking,
and unrefreshing sleep. The cause of
the trouble may be some drain on the
system or il may be mental or physical
overwork, sometimes insufficient nutri.
tion due to digestive disturbance. In
the latter case there is generally loss Of
appetite and II coated tongue rs we'll ~
general languor aud debility.
Miss Lula Nj. Metzger, u stenographer,
livingat II Mill street, Watertown, NY,
suffered for over n year from general
debility. "It was caused by overstudy,"
she says, "und had no ambition, didn't
want to go anywhere, my GOOD didn't

to help me. Finally friends recon.

mother and she got some for me. took
them for some time and WINS entirely

trouble"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cure debility
because they actually make new. red,
rich blood, and as the blood carries
nourishment to all the organs and Tissues
of the body, nerves as well us muscles,
the new blood stimulates the organs to
do the work that nature expects Of them

Coal Land Withdrawn.

Pueblo. Colo.-The local land Office
was ordered by telegraph on
Saturday by the commissioner
OF the General Land ONCE to
withdraw from entry $4,000 acres
OF land in this district, pending
examination by the Geological Survey
for the purpose OF determining how
much OF the land In question Is under
laid with coal. This makes 1,G00 ,00C
acres withdrawn In this district since
July 27th last. So great has becomt
the activity In prospecting for coal
and 30 numerous have been the can

tiomestake Operations.

The annual report of the Homestake
company of Lead, South Dakota. for
the fiscal year ending June l. 1906,
has been issued to stockholders. The
receipts of the company for the year
were $5,444,9sS.44, of which $780,.
445.i9 were from the sale of bullion.
The chief item of disbursements was
labor. which totalled s1,943,77O. Divi.
dends amounted to $1,31O, 400.
The magnitude of the companys
workings may be judged from the size
OF some of the minor disbursements
The cost of oil was s32.44s73, candles
S2o.535.29. and S1S3,663.06 was pais.
for powder.
The expenses include 1851 .0S1 .O1 for
the shines plant which is being erected
in Deadwood at a cost of about $500.
OoO.
During the year the Ellison shaft
was sunk from 800 to 1850 feet. The
installation of a new four-stage 1000.
pound pressure air compressor, with
motors, has quadrupled the under
ground pneumatic haulage capacity
The completion of the shines plant
viii increase the extraction from
ninety to ninety-five per cent.
The most interesting feature in the
report lie that such large dividends
have been paid on ore which for the
year averaged only 1854 a ton. An.
other feature is that the dividends paid
for the last six years amount to over
thirty-three per cent. of the total pro.
duction. The company has had no in.
debtedness since 1903. The cost of
water for the year was much greater
than usual, as great improvements
have been made in the Spearfsh water
system.

When Is an Old MaId2

When does girl become an old
maid? This question, blunt and shorn
of delicate innuendo. is now figuring
in the somnolent discussion of Phila-
delphia society. One might say that
girl becomes an old maid when she
fails to marry betimes. but that is not
the point. What is the exact year
that ushers in spinsterhood and closes
forever the gates of youth? OF course,
this is not a matter in which man
has any word to say. No rational
wearer of trousers would tempt fate
and the scorn of femininity by at
tempting suggestion, for any arbi.
