Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
DEAFNESS is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tactian Tube. When this tube is infian'
ed YOU have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused ~ Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infaTned condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars tor
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh

Booming At Hogan Bay.

Recent arrivals from Hogan bay say that section of Knights island is mak- ing fine showing, two of the proper ties on which large crews are working having turned out better than was ex- pected by the owners.
 The claims owEed by Mullen Bros, of Cleveland, Ohio, which are being developed by SuI erintendant Wilcox are turning out we'll. A tunnel which he has been running has cross-cut the vein at a depth of 125 feet and the ore carries higher value than at the sur face. A new discovery has also been made on the property which is very promising
 The Happy Jack Mining Co.,, in the same bay has two tunnels under way The upper one, which is ar an elevation of 500 feet above the water, is in AS feet and the ledge which at the sur face wes four feet in width, has widened TO over five feet. Assays from thiS ledge average S9O. 95 in copper, accord ing to assays made by II. s. Waterman The ore blocked out in this tunnel is sufficient to keep the mine shipping for long time, there being already llO feet of stoping ground. A second working tunnel has been started to ap this ore body at a depth of $50 'eet. Three shifts of miners are being worked on each of the tunnels and he work is progressing rapidly. The wharf and tram~ay will be completed about ten weeks, when there will be 'lenty of ore ready to start large ship nents at oLce.
