Delicate, weak, nervous women should
especially shun the use of alcoholic
medicines which, from their stimulat-
ing and exhilerating effects may seem,
for time, 10 do good, but which from
the inevitable effects of the alcohol in
shrinking up the red corpuscles OF the
blood are sure TO do great and lasting
harm in the long run. Besides they
beget n craving for stimulants which is
most deplorable.

ening effects can follow the use OF this
famous medicine for women. II can
not possibly do harm in any state or

AR|zONAN
 BIG MAN IN ALASKA
John P. Crum, Who Is Known to All
 the Old-timers in the Territory, Is
 Being Pushed to the Front in the Northeast as Candidate for Congress.

Through the courtesy of Major J. H. Stout, the Nogales Oasis, is in receipt of clippings from Alaska newspapers conveying accounts of movement for the nomination and election of John P. Cum as delegate in congress from that territory. Many oldtimers in Ari- zona will remember MT. Cum, for he was very conspicuous figure, filling with ability several important public positions. He was milan agent at San Carlos from February, 1874, to July, 1877, in which position he performed effective and arduous service. It was Mir. Cum who arrested Geronimo at Ojo Caliente, N. M., in April, 1877, and conveyed him to the reservation. The escape of the willy chief from the reser vation the next year, his bloody depre- dations, the pursuit and final capture, are all parts of Arizona history; but one of the most notable ia the long sue cession of attendant events was that ar rest. He was postmaster at Tombstone also, and mayor of that city, holding likewise at one time post in the in- spection service of the postofIice depart ment. Beside his official career in Ari- zona Mr. Cum made record as a news paper man, in which calling he mani fested an ability and fearlessness that were recognized widely. From Novem- Der, 1877, to February, 1880, he was editor and proprietor of the Citizen, published at Tucson, which he sold to go to Tombstone, where he established the Tombstone Epitaph, conducting the same successfully through several years. Then he sold it to go to California, where he located at San Bernardino in the real estate business. It was at the latter place that the editor of the Oasis knew MT. Cum, in lS86-S7, during which years the writer was editor of the San Bernardino Daily Index. In 1891 MT. Cum returned to the United States postal service and has been em- ployed therein from that year until the present time, serving in various parti of the country and in the department at Washington. In April, 1900, he was sent to Alaska to organize the postal service in that country, which he did to the utmost satisfaction of the de- partment and the public.
 MT. Cum is gentleman of wide in formation, ability and talent. He would fill the post of territorial delegate in most thorough manner, and at his hands his constituency would receive

DEATH STEPS IN;
 FORTUNE DEFEATED
u,tson PiCkrell Was in Omaha to Get Money for Big Mining Deal When Tvnboid Fever Laid Him Low-story og the Mining Venture.

Tn raise SlO0,00O, which he intended ., nay J. c. Bothin, who in the early days was engaged in the general mer- .borlise business in Tucson and Tomb. st,re. was the mission that took Watson Pi,krell from Tempe to Omaha, Neb., where he died recently of typhoid fever, contracted while in the east, says a Phoenix correspondent.
 With A. J. Peters, also of Tempe, piekrclI held at the time of his death on nption from Bothin on the Carmen TsTgrd salt beds in the Gulf of Califor- min. not far from Guaymas. To secure this option, they paid Bothin $6,000, of which Pickrell furnished 5000 and Peters 5000.
 An agreement, drawn up between the rqrfies concerned, called for the trans fer of $500 acres of salt beds in Car men Island, the purchase price being Sg500UO. of which $l00,000 was to be maid down by October l, 1907, or the
 
 option forfeited.
 To get their proposition in shape to put it before eastern capitalists, Pick ren and Peters organized the Carmen Salt company for $l,000,000, fixing the v9Iue of each share at $l00.
 With maps, reports of experts and transcripts of the office records of Bo- thin and his associates showing that during the year of 1906 their profits amounted to $l5O,OO0, Pickrell went east
 When he had raised $30,000 of the sI00OOO necessary to make the first pavment, typhoid fever caused him to take to his bed, from which he never rose. Had Pickrell lived Peters believes that he would have raised the neees- sary funds.
 That the two Tempe men became in terested in the Carmen Island salt prop osition was due to trip they took to Guavmas several months ago to look after one of the warehouses in which Peters is interested.
 While seated in a small restaurant they saw on the opposite side of the street a sign, which bore the name of Bothin. also setting forth that he was in the salt business. They were curious
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1907-09-22

and crossed the street, entering a dingy office, in which they found Bothin
 Bothin explained that he had one of the biggest propositions in the world. They heard him through, and, after ask ing several questions, which brought out further information, they left the place, but not with any intention of giving the matter further attention.
 Returning to Tempe, Peters and Pick rell frequently discussed Carmen Island, until they became so interested with the possibilities that they returned quietly to Guaymas and secured from Bothin the option.
 Bothin let them examine all the books of the concern to prove his assertion that the profits of the bushes amounted to $l5O,000 in one year, the net revenue coming almost entirely from the sale of salt to the fishing industry along the coast of California, Oregon and Wash ington.
 This second trip made both Pickrell and Peters more enthusiastic than ever, convincing them that fortune had at last smiled broadly upon them, only asking that they expend a little effort, and Pickrell went east to his death.
 Though little known, the Carmen salt beds are among the best in the world, and for several years have been pro ducing thousands of tons of salt annu- ally, which does not have to be put through the process of refining before being placed on the market.
 Through some hidden connection with the surrounding ocean the water rises over surface of $500 acres and evap, orating, leaves layer of fine salt sev- eral inches thick. With scrapers this is gathered upon platform, where it dries. The operation is repeated over the same ground at regular intervals.
