E. c. Edwards. the New York mining man, has returned to WeiSer from a trip to the Seven Devils to inspect the Blue Jacket mine which the company he represents IS contemplating taking lease and bond on. MT Edwards went to the district for the purpose of Investigating the cost of pumping the water from the Blue Jacket. MT Edwards reports a phenomenon of the district in con- nect1on with the water in the deeper mines of the district, part of which he can verify. The miners state that in every mine in the district the water has been constantly diminishing since the San Francisco earthquake. Last Spring MT Edwards was in the district and visited the Blue Jacket. At that time the water was running out at the shaft; now it is twelve or fifteen feet below the mouth of the shaft and gradually sinking. This. so the miners say, is the case with every mine in the district They are at loss to explain the phenomenon other than that the shock affected the depths of the Sever Devils Mountains and opened the Assures into which the water is drain 1 ing.

MRS.NELLlE MARKHAM

A nervous irritable woman, often on the verge of mysteries, is a source Of misery to everyone who comes under her influence, and unhappy and mis- erable herself.
 Such. women not only drive hus- bands from home but are wholly unfit to govern children.
 The ills of women act like a fire brand upon the nerves, consequently seven-tenths of the nervous prostra- ton, nervous despondency, h @ "b1ues'', sleeplessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some organic derangement. .l CS
 Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness alternating with ex- treme irritabi1ity ? Do you suffer from pains in the abdominal region, baclache, bearing down pains.nervous dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost continually cross and snappy? If so, your nerves are in a shattered con dition and you are threatened with nervous prostration.
 Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous troubles of women than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs. Thousands and thousands of women can testify to this fact.
