TO cATARRH SUFFERERS.
Good Advice and Liberal Offer From
 We'll Known Phoenix Druggist.

Larson Drug Co. has been advising all who suffer from any of the symp- toms of catarrh, such as offensive breath, dryness of the nose, pain across the eyes. stoppage of the nose. discharges and droppings in the throat, coughing spasms and general weakness and debility, to use Hyomei It goes so far as to offer to refund the money to any user of Hyomei who is not perfectly satisfied with the results.
 Quick relief follows the use of the Hyomei treatment; the stoppage of the nose is removed, the dropping ceases, the breath becomes pure and sweet. and the catarrhal germs are destroyed and their growth prevented.
 Hyomei is the surest, simplest, quickest. easiest and cheapest way to cure catarrh. It does not drug and derange the stomach: it goes right to the seat of the trouble, destroying the catarrhal germs and healing and vit- alizing the tissues.
 Go to Larson Drug Co. today and buy complete Hyomei outfit for $1.0O with the understanding that if it does not give satisfaction, your money will be refunded. All you have to do is to inhale a little occasionally in the air you breathe. using the pocket inhaler symptoms of catarrh will quickly dis appear Try it, you will be surprised and pleased at the results.

heretofore. As usual there will be relay at the toll house midway be- tween the springs and the railroad junction. This will materially reduce the time necessary for making the trip, which will be even more sugges- tive of Nthe old stage days than be- fore, and more convenient.
 To carry out the idea fully the man. agement of the stage line has been turned over to P. $. Wren, who is an old driver and who will pull the rib bons himself. He has been driving in the Yosemite for the last fifteen years and is well known tO the tourists who visit that famous place at intervals. The scenic grandeur of the Castle Hot Springs road is incomparable for va riety as well as beauty and in the twenty-eight mile trip there is con stant surprise for one who makes it for the first time. the appearance be- ing that of a never changing canvas.
 Speaking of his horse buying pro- ject. pr. Sawyer said last night that he found what he wanted but he had to search pretty hard to do it. He bought several horses the first day but yesterday he only found one or two that answered his requirements. There were other good horses offered of course but they were not the right kind. The doctor says the people of the valley do not seem to appreciate their opportunities in the raising of horses. There would doubtless be a market for hundred times as many good ones as are now raised annually. There are d great many horses raised now but where there is one good one there are many of an inferior class. There is no better place in the world to raise them and the demand will surely keep up with the supply as the valley becomes more famous.

operations. This situation he does not think will continue long and q truce will be affected between the producers and the consumers of the metal in no great time. President Kinney says he does not believe copper will ever re- turn to its former high price of 25 cents, which was out of reason, but that it will land somewhere around + to IS cents and remain there.
 The price at present does not affect mines of any value, as most of them can operate and make money at even 13 cents. He has watched the course of events in the financial world for years and it appears that while at the present state people are getting rid of some stocks, when the market begins to recover they will be just as anxious to buy as before and the money will flood into circulation again in vast quantities. President Kinney person. ally is not alarmed over the turn things have taken and is going ahead with his plans as he has them mapped out.

It IS seer that its borders are not sharply marked as they would be If we were viewing it from the outside but that the stars diminish in number gradually until the bright band fades mo the ordinary star-lit sky. From this It IS concluded that we are in the hot !.

Some are too little condensed as yet to emit much liGst: they are too young, and others are too old. We know that all of the stars are slowly contracting and approaching solid cor- diuon; We cannot doubt that there ara very many which have already trccme cold and which must remain foreve- invisible to us. And since in definite though very long time even the largest sun will thus die out under the action df natural forces, if seems that had these been acting forever every star would have long since become cold.

NOT AFFECTING PLANS

President Finney Says the Copper Market Will Never Rise to the Past High Level.

c. F. Kinney of New York, presi- dent of the LOndOn-Arizona arrived in the city yesterday on his way to Winkelman to look over the develop ment work recently done on the prop erty of the company. President Fin ney stated yesterday that the opera tions on the claims would continue as in the past and that the company is formulating it's plans to erect the mill and shelter on the site at the river He is confident that this will be done in time. The state of the money mar ket has more to do with the delay in beginning than the price of cop per, as when he started out in his plans he figured on a basis of 13 cents for copper.
 President Finney states that in his opinion there is no over production of copper. Last year the increase in consumption was per cent while the increase in output was only per cent. Under normal conditions he says that he does not believe there would ever be an oversupply of the metal. In fact he is rather inclined to the belief that there will be a cop per famine long before there will ever be an overprOduction. The low price of the metal is due he thinks to the cessation of the great extensions of railroad and electric lines, caused by the stringency in the money market. There is plenty of money in the coun- try but in the unstable condition of the market people are inclined to hold the cash to protect their main inter eStS in an emergency and if is hard to get them to invest much in new

NO RETURN TICKETS
 FOR CHICAGO WOMtN
Immigration Commissioners Booklet, Followed up by Personal Description of Valleys Advantages Makes Ef,- fective Advertising.

Mrs. A. Decker and Mrs. B. Hagger- ton, arrived in Phoenix from Chicago on the Santa Fe yesterday morning to make this valley their home. These ladies have come here to escape from the cold winters and moist climate of the Great Lakes region and into a climate similar to that which they knew in childhood for they are natives of the sunny south of France and pass ed their earlier years among the Med- iterranean sea.
 For several years they carried on an extensive floral business in ChGaSo conducting the Garfield Park green houses which former Chicagoans in the valley will recognize as among the largest in that city. About five years ago they moved to the suburb of West Pullman. Here they became acquaint- ed with MT. and Mrs. Charles Hinck- ley, then of that place but now of Phoenix.
 When the 1907 pamphlet describing the valley was issued by the commits sioner of immigration. MT. Hinckley sent them one and on his trip to Chi cago in September called on them. He 
 things as described in the booklet and he and Mrs. Hinckley added their per sonal description anl recOmmenda- ton. This clinched the matter in the minds Of these women and being peo- pie of decision followed by quick action they immediately took steps to dis pose of their business in Chicago and that being done set out for Phoenix. MT. Hinckley was both surprised and pleased on being telephoned from the Larson drug store this morning to recognize Mrs. Deckers voice.
 It is worthy of note that these ladies had confidence enough in what has been told them about the valley that they bought no return tickets They are not here to see how they like it and possibly come back. later. They are here to stay now, actual settlers, and will no doubt take advantage of some of the many opportunities open in the valley for they are keen, bright women with experience in business as well as agriculture and will be a vel come addition to the community.
