did not possess autos took the trolley
ride that was one of the features Of

There was a new automobile In the

on the back seat of the tonneau, II that

gritted his teeth as he passed 1t on his

take any road at top speed. Sit down."
He made way for Davenport at the
table with ostentatious courtesy, and
though Howard knew that his only OBJ
ject was to continue his boasting, he
dropped into the seat beside Kittie.

"Ask Sampson where he met Special

answered:

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 infammed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infammed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing Will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by
Catarrb, which is nothing but an infamed
condition OF the mucous surfaces.

Linden Mines.

Galena Weekly Tribune, Nov. %:
Though but little ore has been ship
ped out from Linden for several weeks
past, all the mines which were run
ming six weeks ago are in operation
again at the present writing, the list
including the Ross, Glenville, Dark
Horse Mason, Stevens, Trio and Ra-
jah. All excepting the Ross, Dark
Horse and Mason, however, are being
worked with small or reduced forces.
The Dark Horse, which was down
for several weeks by breaking of the
main shaft on the gasoline equipment,
was repaired and Overhauled last
week and active work started in the
mine today. The report was circulat-
ed to the effect that the Dark Horse
was sold to the Consolidated COM
pany but stakeholder states that no
cash has yet been paid. The Dark
Horse has been paying large rate
of profit considering the amount of
dirt hand led. The solid and regular
formation of the sheets facilitates
rapid work and high grade product
by hand cobbing, three men and two
per day, which has always sold above
$40 per ton; the fines are milled at the
Granville mill. No ore has been sold
since the most recent slump in prices.
The Ross is running full handed as
usual but are piling up their finished
product awaiting a more favorable
selling period, and now have some
thing between six and eight hundred
tons on hand. On many former oc-
casions these gentlemen have found
it profitable to hold over during a
market dullness, and experience in
mining commits for much. Some of the
last ore sold from the Ross, just
month ago, brought $42 for 60 percent
zinc.
The Mason mine, owned and oper-
ated by the Mineral Hoint Zinc Com
pany is producing and shipping more
ore to-day than at any previous time
in its long eventful history, the pro-
duction for October being reported at
300 tons. The Mason was one of the
very first mines to be opened up in
the old mining camp OF Linden and
has been worked continuously
through long period of years; the
mine was always d good producer,
both shallow and deep workings.
