Unless all signs fail, this will prove
a hard season for those who are sub

kidney aud bladder troubles and espe-
cially catarrh. While the latter is con-
sidered by most sufferers an incura-
bic disease. here are few men or wo-
men who will fail to experience great
relief from the following simple home
prescription. and If taken in time il
Will prevent an attack OF catarrh dur
ing the entire season.
Here is the prescription which any

and use IN teaspoonfu doses after
each meal and again bedtime.
These are mostly vegetable ingrc-

GOLD OUTPUT FOR 1906

Americas and also the entire world s
production of gold continued In 1906
to show large increase. Three years
ago the total output was 1925, 900, 900; I;
two years ago 56,000,000. For 1905
$376, ,000,0 900 and for 1906 1t will go be-
tween S40O, 900 and $410,000O00.
The largest addition in recent years
has been made in South Africa, which,
including all districts, is now produc-
ing about $12, 900, 900 per month. In the
ade increases which will carry the out
put of this country close to and per-
haps above S100,000,000
1t will be the first time the United
States has ever reached that great
figure. Outside of this country and
South Africa gains and losses will
probably about offset each other.
The Transvaal has passed its record
of before the war, and further expan-
sion of the industry is hampered by
the scarcity of labor, the present ad-
ministration in England being opposed
to the importation of more Chinese.
However, at the rate of production
reached in the last three months there
will be a gain in 1907 of $15,0O000O over
the yield of 1906. 1t will probably do
better than that, say $140, 100000 in the
year.
With the new railroads building in
Nevada and present activity in ex-
ploration and development, Nevada is
certain to show a very large increase
in 1907, perhaps doubling the 1906 yield,
which will be around $10O00,000 or
$12, ,O00, 900. Alaska promises further
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-17

gains in 1907, and Mexico is in shape
to do better every year for some time
to come. 1t is expected that the Klon-
dixie, which has been on a declining
scale for several years. will hereafter
do better. Australia is a large pro-
ducer which has been losing about
$2,000,000 wear for three years. The
worlds output in 1907 may be expected
to be between $4S0,OOO,OOO and $44O,-
100000.
Ten years ago. in 1885, the worlds
production of gold was about 5000 O000,-
900. The enlarged output since then has
made notable change in the bank re-
serves of all countries, and unquestion-
ably made itself felt in the business
world.
figures giving the holdings of the
principal banks of issue and of such
governments as carry gold reserves out
side of banks on January l, 1906, show
an average increase in these institu-
tions of more than $140, 900, 600 per
year. Since January 1, 1906, the
treasury of the United States has
gained $127.000.0 900 in gold, but the
bank stocks have changed only
slightly. Industrial consumption has
probably taken about $S5, 100000 last
year and the remainder of the product
has gone to other banks and into cir
culation.
This reinforcement of bank reserves
has obviously broadened the founda-
tions for credit, and enabled the bank
ing institutions to expand their loans
by amounts considerably in excess of
the additional cash on hand. ~Ae ~

IL was noon when we topped a gen

pouring six inches from the hot water
tank of the engine came upon the half
dozen tents that mark the town of Lee.
Luncheon Of ham and refrigerator
eggs, from which the ice had long

noon sky we were on the ground where

made-the first strike in the new coun-
try.
Along the side Of the canyon wall
the guide took us to where a great
outcropping of ore marked the ledge,
and before night options upon the Tulip
group above the Hayseed strike had
been obtained.
There can be no question about the
richness of the Lee district. on the
Gilt Edge property they took me up to
wall of rock and in a great ledge
of quartz told me to knock off samples
wherever I chose. The samples were
the richest l have ever seen, for the
free gold fairly coated the specimens,
and in the deeper color of the quartz
were little nuggets that ran from the
size of a pinhead to that of lead
pencil rubber.

BULLFROG; RHYOLITE

{ ping ore, now opened the district will
output an enormous tonnage for years.
and the opening Of the mines Is only
commenced. With three railroads the
transportation problem will be solved,
and with the abundance Of water now
piped into the heart of the mines tho
water supply is unquestionably ade-
quate. These three features combine to
make the future assured.
There are twelve producing mines
within an area of one mile Of Rhyolite,
and sixteen In the entire district. Ship
ments are made to Salt Lake City.
Many hundreds OF thousands Of tons OF
marketable ore are in sight within this
radius. Development is In progress up-
on a large number of properties, many
of which are equipped with up-to-date
machinery.
Rich Camps to the South
Rhyolite Is not dependent on the
Bullfrog district alone for her suprem-
acy. Other camps are springing UP In
Southern Nevada and Eastern Cali
fornia, that are all tributary to Rhyo-
| lite's greatness.
The Lee and Echo districts, located
on the Nevada California line, about
| twenty-three miles southwest, are
tributary to Rhyolite, and first-class
road has been built. at the expense of
the citizens and mining companies, so
that supplies can be hauled at a mini
mum of expense.
The same holds true Of the Emigrant
| Springs district, where the famous
Skiddoo and Granite Contact mines are
located. These are also connected by
new road and a large majority OF
the supplies used In the Greenwater
district are bought in Rhyolite.
The Crystal Springs district, which is
attracting so much attention, is tribu-
tary to Rhyolite, and new road has
been built to that section Of the coun-
| try.
The Transvaal mines buy their sup
plies in Rhyolite.
The merchants and business men Of
Rhyolite are always ready with their
check books when money Is needed for
building roads, or for any other pur-
pose that has a tendency toward di-
verting trade to this camp.
