FURIOUS hUMoR ON CHILD.
itching. Bleeding Sores Covered Body Nothing Helped Her-Cutcura
 Cures Her in Five Days.

After my granddaughter of about seven years had been cured of the measles, she was attacked about a fortnight later by a furious itching and painful eruption all over her body, especially the upper part of it, forming watery and bleeding sores, especially under the arms. of considerable size. She suffered great deal and for three weeks we nursed her every night, using all the remedies We could think of. Nothing would help. We tried the Cuticura Remedies and after twenty four hours We noted considerable im- provement, and after using only one complete set of the Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive days the little one, much to our joy, had been entirely cured, and has been well for long time.

OLD CANNON CAN'T BE BROKEN.
Armament of Old Craft Was Made to
 Last

good story is being told at the Mare Island navy yard concerning a San Francisco contractor who bought all the old obsolete cannon which were sold at the local yard some time ago. The cannon were all of the smooth bore kind and in order that they might be easily handled for shipment to the city all sorts of schemes were tried to endeavor to break them with dynamite and blasting powder, but they were unsuccessful.
 An electric drill machine was even set up at the yards and the cannon were drilled full of holes in order to weaken them for breaking open with wedges, but this was also unsuccess- ful. The cannon were then taken away and the last heard of them they were corralled in the hills near Point Richmond, where an effort was being made 10 break them open with dyna- mite again.
 The cannon which proved to be so strong were among the armament of the war craft which sailed the seas In 1872.

This is an ancient custom still observed in the burgh The bell had been tolled for less than . minute, when, it is alleged, a figure suddenly appeared at the woman s side, snatched her hands from the rope and as mysteriously disappeared
 Another morning 20 trees which few years ago were planted in front of the cathedral were found to have been cut down. The night was 2 calm one, with brilliant moonlight. ani the trees were standing at one o'clock in the morning.

SENATORSHIP WANTED
E. H. HARTMAN SAID TO HAVE BEEN AFTER SENATOR DE- PEWS SEAT IN THE SEN
 ATE.

Washington, April.-The following statement was given out at the White House Wednesday:
 The real reason for MT E H. Harrlman's s interest in the election of the state ticket in New York in 1904. reference to which was made in the communications which passed between him and the president, was that he desired to advance his own ambitions. It is asserted that Mir. Hartman want ed the position of senator now filled by Mir. Eepew, and that this was the reason why he was anxious to have him appointed ambassador to Paris. The inference from MT. Harriman's s attitude vas that if Senator Depew could be induced to go to Paris Gov ernor Higgins was prepared to ap- point Hartman 10 the vacancy
 New York. April-The publication of the letter from l.. II. Hartman to SidSey Webster and the eorrespon- dence between President Roosevelt and Representative sherman and the president and MT. Hartman is being given the widest discussion in fnan- cial and political circles The state ment given out by Mir Hartman in reply to the Rooseyelt-Sherman cor respOndence was eagerly read, espe- cialy in Wall street. where MT. Har riman's position as leader in the railroad world has given him such prominence.
 It was said that he was in consul tation with several of his friends as to the present aspects of the situa- ton. presumably with view to de lining his future attitude and course of procedure should the president make fejoinder to his last state ment. Not the least interesting DOT ton of MT. Hartman presentation of his side of the controversy was his statement that he could not with draw anything said in the letter to Sidney Webster in which he declared that it was at the presidents solicita- ton that he raised S200,000 for use in New York state in the campaign of 1904, and that the president agreed if found necessary" to appoint Sena- tcr Depew to be ambassador to France.
 It was declared in banking circles that light could be shed on the ques- tion of campaign contributions in 1904 if the books of the National Republi. can Committee were throw open. Har- ry s. New Of Indiana is now acting chairman of the committee.

Almost all the icebergs seen in the north Atlantic during June are products of the coast of Labrador. formed from the ice fields that had filled the indentations of that coast the previous winter July's icebergs come from further north in the vicin- fly of Baffin Land, those of August come from still further north, and though fewer in number than those of the earlier summer, are larger in individuality. From the coast of Labrador may be seen an endless procession of these ice mountains coming out of the north and taking their way majestically southward un- til they lose their being in the warm CT waters and climate of the go1th Atlantic.-Maine Journal

Mining Temple to
Cost a Million.

AT a meeting in Denver, Colo,
May %, the building committee of
the National Mining Congress
practically decided to erect mag
nificent mining temple at Denver
to cost 81, 100000. The commit
tee will at once undertake to raise
that amount. The executive COM
mittee has issued the formal call
for the next meeting of the Con-
gress at Joplin, Mo-, Nov. IL to l6.
The principal subjects which it is
hoped to agitate are the drafting
of laws for the prevention of acci-
dents in mines, the establishment
OF uniform laws in all States to es-
tablish sideline location of claims,
and the abolition of the apex rights
and general revision of the min
ing laws throughout the country
so that they may be uniform in all
States.

More than s,500,000 pounds Of
wool were clipped on the ranges of
Nevada this year, and counting the
tributaries to the Nevada ranges
more than 100000 pounds of
wool will be shipped to the mills
in the East this season. This is
said to be the record wool harvest
for the State of Nevada, and the
Nevada wool growers are jubilant.
They have not only secured a
large wool harvest, but have secur-
ed very good prices for all their
wool and have had a very success

This is the way the Goldfield
Chronicle calls the attention of its
patriotic citizens to the fact that
independence Day is approaching,
aid briefly points out the things
to be done if celebration is to
take place. AS Battle Mountain
is thinking of getting up cele-
bration, we reproduce the follow
ing extract which may aid those
who are going to take the lead in
the matter regarding the necessary
steps:
The Fourth of July is rapidly
approaching.
Who knows about it?
Who has thought of it?
Who is going to do anything
about it?
Ii we are going to celebrate In
dependence Day this year, let us
have one, the nature OF which will
show that Goldfeld is alive with
patriotic feeling and can afford to
let the exuberance OF it loose.
A committee should be selected
at once to take care of the event,
SO as to give ample time for the
perfection of arrangements.
We must remember that there
may be set fireworks to provide
for, orators, poets, singers, music,
decorations, etc., ETC., and after the
committee has fully outlined the
programme, those who are selected
to carry out their different portions
must have reasonable time in
which to prepare.

bodies get busy quick and start

Next Winters Coal
Supply.
All Dealers and Consumers
Should Take Action to
Prevent Fuel Famine.

In a recent interview, W. L.
Park, general superintendent of
the Union Pacific at Omaha, en-
phasizes the seriousness of the
coal situation and the necessity of
storing coal, to both the dealer and
the customer. He is quoted as
saying:
at is quite likely that next win
ter will see a much more serious
condition than existed during the
past, for the reason that the coun-
try west of Rock Springs mines is
settling up very rapidly and re-
quires the entire commercial out
put at the present time.
"As the railroads will be entire
ly from the coal business next
winter, it is up to the dealers to
provide such facilities for storing
it, and it is up to the people TO see
that they do it. Heretofore, the
railroads protected the people
against coal shortage by selling
from their company coal supply to
individuals and to dealers. I'm
der the Hepburn bill this hereafter
will not be permitted.
"Our roads, as we'll as the other
lines, have plenty of cars and power
at this time to handle coal, and in
stead of laying the miners off dur
ing the summer, as has been the
practice frequently heretofore they
should be continuously employed
and the coal gotten to where it is
accessible to the consumer. Those
who have the space in their cellar
bins should lay an a good supply
The small consumer must take
notice of the existing conditions
and protect himself so far as pos.
sible, either by contracting with
his dealers for an early delivery in
order that he may provide facilities
for holding or taking the coal ano
storing it on his own premises

DIRECTOR OF THE MINT ROBERTS CONSIDERS THAT
NEVADA WILL LEAD The WORLD IN INCREASED
GOLD PRODUCTION IN NEXT FEW YEARS.
From The 'JoURNAL OF FINANCE" Chicago, lis.

There is evidently almost limit
less amount of gold under the
desert floor of this State.
"The gold production of the
United States in 1906 was about
500, 100000 as against S88, ,180,700
in 1905. | believe that in 1907,
thanks chiefly to Nevada, the pro-
duction will be above 00,0O0,000.
Such gains in gold production are
the financial salvation of this
country. Had it not been for the
enormous increase in our gold
supply, enabling large safe ex-
pansion, of credits, we would have
had serious business reaction
long ago."
The Central Nevadan. [volume] (Battle Mountain, Nev.) 1885-1907, 1907-06-06

months, will show production for
Nevada of approximately $10,OO0,-
600, as against So, 1853, 100 the prev
ious year.
"But last years figures do not
do justice to the present produc-
ton, which is at ratio at least one
half greater. l feel confident that
Nevada in 1907 will produce at
least s15,OO0,0O0 gold, and will
rank close to Alaska, Colorado and
California in gold output.
"The gold mining industry of
Nevada, as it exists to-day, at
places like Goldfeld, Tonopah and
Rhyolite, is only in its infancy.
