Eiq Strike at Georgetown.

Georgetown, Colo.-The Mendoza
property is the scene Of one of the
biggest strikes of the present year. b.
j. O'Connell, operating block OF
ground under lease, has uncovered a
body of solid smelling ma
terial twelve inches in width,
the average value of which IL
$40 to the ton. The ore is heavy
lead carrying good silver values, and
from the amount that is being broken
1t is evident that the leaser will ex-
tract small fortune before his privi
leges have expired.
Mr.. O'Connell is prosecuting work
through the Victoria tunnel, having
sunk winze to a depth of 100 feet.
Drifting was then prosecuted for 200
feet, and for the entire distance a body
OF lead-zinc ore was followed which
measured from eighteen inches to two
feet in thickness. For a considerable
distance the ore was not what might
be considered of a high grade. and ii
was found necessary to have the prod
uct concentrated. For several months
u heavy tonnage has been extracted
and delivered to the various custom
mills for treatment.
1t was only during the last few days
that 1t was noticed that the zinc was
fast disappearing and in its place al
most solid lead was appearing. AS the
stope i carried upward the zinc has
nearly entirely disappeared. and now
the mate rial is all being sold at the
local sampler. 1t is generally conceded
that the shoot will run almost to the
tunnel level, as in past operations on
the Mendoza that has almost invari
ably been the case.
Mr.. O'Connell has been steadily al
work in this block of ground for over
three years. and at last his efforts are
being rewarded. A heavy tonnage is
being shipped weekly, with a gradual
increase in both the silver and lead
values.

TEN GOOD REASONS.
Read Them and Patronize the Mer-
chants Of This Town.

Here are ten good reasons for trad
as given by an exchange.
Because: You examine your pur-
chase and are assured of satisfaction
before investing your money.
Because: Your home merchant Is
always ready and willing to make
right any error or any defective arti-
Gle purchased of him.
Because: When you are sick or for
any reason it is necessary for you to
ask for credit you can go to the local
merchant. Could you ask it of a mail
order house?
Because: II a merchant is willing
to extend you credit you should give
him the benefit of your cash trade.
Because: Your home merchant pays
local taxes and exerts every effort to
build and better your market, thus in
creasing both the value of city and
country property.
Because: The mail order merchant
does not tighten your taxes or in any
way hold the value of your property.
Because: The mail order merchant
does nothing for the benefit of mar
kets or real estate values.
Because: If your town is good
enough to live in 1t is good enough to
spend money 4n.-Gov. Folk of Mis-.
souri,.
Because: The best citizens In your
community patronize home Industry.
Why not be one of the best citizens?
Because: II you give your home
merchant an opportunity to compete,

quantities you buy ont OF town. he will
demonstrate that. quality considered
he will save you money.

brass cannon along the Wilkes-Barre

themselves into an historical society.

parties to whom was awarded the con-
tract for driving the Seemann tunnel

ply with the terms of the agreement by
Immediately erecting plant of ma
chinery at the portal of the tunnel. the
contract was Cancelled by Capt.
Henry l. Seemann. representing the

the driving of the big tunnel any
longer a contract was Immediately en-
tered into with the Temple Engineer

with the understanding that the tun-
mel heading will be pushed forward at
twice the speed which has been made
heretofore. The Temple people will
start work next week and expect to
make record time In completing their
contract. Their great difficulty here
tofore has been the inability of the
contractors to obtain experienced ma

A STEADY DRAIN.
Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole
Body-Make You Ill, Languid
and DEPRESSED,

Sick kidneys weaken the body through
the continual drainage of life giving
albumen from the blood into the urine,
and the substitution of poisonous uric
acid that goes broadcast through the
system, sowing the seeds of disease.
Loss of albumen causes weakness Ian
guor, depression. Uric poisoning
causes rheumatic pain, nervousness,
nausea, cricks in the back, gravel and
kidney stones. The proper treatment
is a kidney treatment, and the best
remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills.
I. B. Tate, retired veteran, living on
Taylor ST., Abba, Ia, says: "For sever
al years | had dull aching across the
lions. If Il caught cold the trouble
would be greatly aggravated the action
OF the kidney secretions was weak and
they contained heavy, red sediment.

The Farm Wife's Burden.

as horse, but what of the blushing
bride of ten years ago? She is now a
hollow checked, care worn woman, look
ing ten years older than she is. Her
husband thought she was as strong as
he, and let her do her share of the work,
but he forgot something: He forgot
that she was raising and bearing a
family; that she had the care of the
children day and night; that there was
a drain upon her that he had never
dreamed of; he forgot thai he had help
on the farm when he needed it, but often
she had to do double duty when he had
the extra help. He was in other words
selfish and thought Of no one but him.

broad acres producing big bins of grain
