HAS EARNED A REST.

Pittsburg Gazette-Times.
1t may be difficult to persuade any
one that Theodore Roosevelt is like
the ordinary run of men, and may,
therefore, become the victim of physi-
cal WEAKNESS, or may actually break
down. The very embodiment of "stren-
uosity.' he of all men would seem
least TO be bidder for sympathy and
consideration on the ground of over
work. But there is limit to human
endurance. The president has pass
ell through a year of the most remark
able experiences. His restless activity
has driven him when the exact de-
mands of his official duties laid no
claim upon his time and his strength.
No president in the history of the
country has figured so largely in the
current affairs of the nation. No pres
ident since the war has had his time
and attention so fully taken up with
delicate and important problems of So
cial, Industrial and political kind. If
Theodore Roosevelt isn't \ very weary
nan then his constitution is abnormal
in its power to withstand the demands

The new enterprise of lixivation re-
Gently inaugurated by Mr.. ID. Forres-
ter. assayer and chemist for the Red
Mountain Mining, Smelling and Rail
road company, is liable to prove a
big factor In the treatment OF certain
characters of ores known to exist in
the county. For instance Chlorides
and bi-chlorides of lead. copper and
silver of too low grade to pay the
cost Of transportation and treatment,
also mill tailings and fiue dust from
smelters that have been exposed for
years to the oxidation process are sue.
cessfully treated at minimum expense
as compared with the rates of the
present methods. The small plant
which Is located in the old Walsh
smelter Just below town, Is equipped
with two ten ton teaching tanks. with
accompanying vats, precipitating tubs,
small boiler, a complete assay office,
etc. Into one of the tanks Is placed
the pulp which is charged with 2
Ter cent solution of hyposulphate sod
ium, the alteration of which is precipi-
tated with either sodium sulphide or
calcium, the precipitates carrying the
silver. copper. etc, in sulphur base
The silver being extracted by the hypo
solution, the pulp having been wash
ed and drained Is next treated by a
solution of potassium cyanide and pre-
cipitated on zinc shavings. by which
process a very high per cent of the
gold remaining in the pulp Is ex-
tracted. This latter product is melted
into bars. while the former from the
hyposulphate process Is termed sui
phides and Is shipped In bulk to the
smelter. There are in the old smelter
about 400 to 500 tons of what Mr..
Forester terms odds and ends and
tails" to be treated. Just at present
two men are employed, C. w. Gray,
one of the most experienced cyaniding
men in the west, and another party
whose name we did not learn. The
plant, as yet has not fairly started up
by reason of certain fixtures reauir-
ing adjustment, etc, but will soon be
la full operation. upon which Manager
Forester has promised to give the
Standard full particulars in regard to
its workings with values saved and
lost In black and white.-Silverton

EAT WHAT YOU WANT.
Science Has Now Found the True
 Way to Cure Indigestion.

A few years ago. when d sufferer from indigestion went to stomach specialist. the result was a rigid diet list that almost meant starvation
 But the first thing to do in the case of indigestion or stomach weakness Is to strengthen the muscular walls of the stomach and intestines. so that they will care for the food that is eaten. In no other way can this be done as well as by taking a Mi-o-na tablet before each meal. This restores strength to the stomach muscles and stimulates the pouring out of gastric juices. so that the food is digested readily and its nourishment retained in the system to build up energy and vitality.
 Do not think the sick headache heartburn, bad taste in the mouth. coated tongue. spots before the eyes. sleeplessness and the many other symptoms that are the direct result of indigestion. will go away of them selves. The stomach must be built up and strengthened by Mi-o-na before you can be well and strong. free from suffering and distress.
 The guarantee that Larson Drug Co. gives with every 50-cent box of Mi-o- ma, to refund the money unless the remedy cures. shows their confidence in the treatment. 2

RI CONSTRUCTION OF
 lOWfR DIICH SYSTEM
How a Crown Of Thorrs Woven For the Canal Officials Was Transformed Into a Wreath or Myrtle.

A number of Mexican residents of the lower end of the valley have been making complaint to the board of sup ervisors that the government. through its representatives who are in charge of the work of making new laterals and otherwise remodeling the ditch system in those parts. as they believed in violation of county regulations and to the disadvantage of settlers.
 Yesterday the board of supervisors went down to the section indicated, in the vicinity of the Fowler and Cart wright schools houses. They were ac- companied by Engineer Reed and Dan McDermott, the canal superintendent. the two gentlemen chiefly responsible for this work of destruction. alleged. A careful investigation was made over a considerable area and the board af- ter diligent inquiry and inspection. complimented these government van dals on their work and begged them tO continue il until they had the whole valley torn up the same way. Seri- ously speaking the complaint of the Mexicans did not hold water. but the new ditches did. which is more than could be said of some of the old ones. The Mexicans either could not figure out the plans of the government or else they must have been little pre- judiced.
 one of the supervisors speaking about the trip. said they found the roads in first class condition and that the new work was being done in fine shape. The new bridges made have been constructed in accordance with the country regulations and the new fumes are put together in a work manlike manner in contrast with the old two bit pole constructions. The speaker saw nothing to find any fault with and said the only comment he had to make was that the work be- ing done by the government had added ten dollars an acre to the value of the property.
