The Story of a Medicine.

It's name-rGolden Medical Discovery
was suggested by one of its most import
ant and valuable ingredients - Golden
Seal root.
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use of pure,
triple-refined glycerine, aided by cer-
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,
so generally employed So the now world

We are to thank the backward spring
for the destruction of the locusts, which
were about to hatch out in uncountabhe
numbers. The same frost THAI laid its
frigid fingers on the apple blossoms and
the lilacs also gave tweak to the locust
eggs. At least this is what rural per-
sonages who are posted on such things
say. But the locustS probably wouldn't
have hatched out, anyway. There are
two things that never happen when peo-
pie say they will; one is the coming of
the end of the world and the other is the
appearance of the locuSts. We have long
given up the end OF the world as practi-
cally hopeless and have resigned ourselves
to being deprived of that matchless spec
tacle which some more favored genera
ton may possibly witness; and we have
been so often disappointed in the locust
representations that we now 4pk them
along with weather bureau iidications.
We have heard stories by our grandsires
that once the "17-year" locusts filled the
woods with roaring ike the sound Of
Niagara and that the bark Of the trees
was split asunder by the insects. and that
the surface of the earth was made TO look
like pepper box by the holes whence
they had issued. And we have waited
expectantly for a repetition Of this won.
der of nature; but. like the end of the
world, it is always being postponed. The
locusts appear to be great procrastinators,
or else their human prophets are great
prevaricators.
1t may be, of course, that the locusts
are mixed up in their calendar and not
being able to decide whether the seven
teen years of their Information" has ex-
pired have decided to remain in seclusion
until the matter is Strengthened out, rath-
er than appear at time that would ruin
their arithmeticai reputation 1t is peril
Gus to be premature, to arrive on the scene
before the curtain is up or the audience
seated, especially when your performance
Is so rarely given that the only thing
that ranks with it is the Oberammergau
passion play which is presented only once
in ten years. One can understand the
deep modification a seventeen-year locust
would feel in appearing at the end OF
thirteen years or ten years, or any num-
Der of years except exactly seventeen.
A misca!culation never could be forgiven.
1t would be as humiliating as Mark
Twain's experience in Switzerland when
wrapped in q blanket he sought to wit
ness the glorious spectacle of the rising
sun and did not realize until he saw the
smiles of promenading ladies and gentle
men in afternoon costume that the sun
was setting. Punctuality is of the utmost
importance. Every properly reared locust
knows this. If the time set for the great
periodical conclave is every seventeen
years, then let it be observed to the in
stant. Hardness is not to be extenuated.
If they prove false to their name and
appear any old year, they should be con-
signed to the ranks of the locusts which
appear annually and have no ancient
ancestry or traditions.

Secretary Wilson on stand.

The principal witness in the case Of
Edwin s. Holmes. on trial with Fred
erick Peckhanf and Moses Haas of New
York on the charge of conspiracy in con-
nection with the advance cotton reports,
was Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, who
identified letter he had addressed to the
President after the alleged leak in the
cotton reports, declaring the charge false.
He admitted that Holmes had written q
part Of this letter, but said he had made
an addition to it. The attorney for the
defense called Wilson's attention to the
fact that at the time of the exposure
charges were circulated in the press
against the Secretary as being personally
responsible for the leak.

gold.
But in his office here upon the first
examination he found pieces of the
ore containing an excellent showing
of the yellow metal. He has not vet
assayed the ore but has the samples
to show those who would like to be
shown some of the rock from the Win
nemucca Mohawk
In position to judge for himself on
the merits of Winnemucca Mohawk,
Mr.. Jackson states with positiveness
that the person who states that there
is not magnificent showing in sight
on Winnemucca mountain on these
claims is foolish.
1t behooves Winnemucca people to
boost for Winnemucca projects, is the
opinion expressed by different mining
men on the situation exposed by the
knocking that has been done on the
Winnemucca Mohawk. Especia ly does
it behoove them to boost If properties
here at home have much better show
, ing than those Of fifty and more miles
away that have been so continuously
exploited as bonanzas Of the first

"The Winnemucca Mohawk" stated
A. r. Jackson, the mining man and
assayer whose offices are located on
Main street just below the Magnolia
saloon, lis a good place to 60 to work.
Mining men are now looking for oppor-
tunities to invest capital with some
assurance of profit, and there are few
prospects that will be found with bet
ter assurances for returns on the in
vestment of capital than that offered
by the Winnemucca Mohawk claims on
Winnemucca mountain.
A clue to the reason this well known
mining man should speak thus of the
Winnemucca Mohawk is perhaps be-
cause he, too, has visited the claims,
has taken samples from them and has
seen and therefore believes.
In pan in the office of Mr.. Jack
son you will find sample of ore from
the Winnemucca Mohawk. This sample
he tells you was taken from a fav-
orable point in the surface, that is, in
a seam that had been leeched. He
scraped out some of the decomposed
formation in the seam and brought it

NEW COMPANY PUSHING WORK
Additional Men Put On and New Ma
chinery Being Installed.

The Nevada Eureka company, whose
property adjoins the Albion mines on
the northwest, situated on ruby Mill.
are pushing the work of developing
their mines and other improvements as
rapidly as conditions will admit. Dur
ing the past week an additional force
of men has been put on and more will
be added as soon as room can be made
for them.
The company, to a certain extent, IS
handicapped in carrying forward the
proposed improvements outlined owing
to scarcity of building material, par
ticularly lumber, they having already
purchased all the lumber at present
available at Eureka.
Two whims and other machinery are
now on the ground, having been receiv-
ed at the mines this week, and are now
being installed.
H. M. Chance of Philadelphia, presi-
dent of the company, now here, in con-
junction with Superintendent j. E. R.
Richardson, is pushing the work now
in hand to completion as rapidly as
possible.
