Mastodonic Jumbo!

The officers of the Jumbo Wonder Mining and Leasing company are very much elated over the results of assays from the eighty-foot level of the lease on the Poleverde claim of the Jumbo Extension. Before the mines closed down in March ledge of four aid one-half feet wide was encountered in cross-cut at a depth of eighty feet which carried some good sulphide ore. One assay from the picked sample has been run and gives returns of S52S per ton. Work will be resumed at the lease, shaft will be dropped down another 100 feet, from which depth the ledge will be opened again, with the expec- tation that 1t will be ore of a shipping class. Besides the lease on the Fole- verde, which is the biocR lying be- tween the Jumbo l.. & NJ. and the Frances Mohawk, No and has one year to run, the company owns three claims at Montezuma, two and one half miles south of the old Montezuma mill, which will receive attention this year.
 William J. Grey of Philadelphia is president of the company and Edwin Wallace, also of the Quaker City, is secretary and treasurer. The work is under the direction of the general manager, John w. Gunner. an ex- perienced miner. The leas- is equipped with a double drum electric hoist.
 The Jumbo Wonder Mining com pany's lease Is on the Su1IDo Extension and adjoining the Velvet. ibe St Ives, the Jumbo. and In close continuity to the Mohawk and the Red Top. It is an admitted fact that as mine after mine is being opened up in either di- rection. all are encountering the same geological condition, showing tho same concentration made by nature in all this well named district, Goldfield.
 Alexander Comstock, of the Buckingham building. nfter most care ful inquiry and considerable trouble and expense. has selected the above stock as the best one available at pre- sent in Nevada. It Is practically the only stock in the market to-day that Is selling so cheap and yet is in the very heart of the original Goldield district and surrounded on all sides by the big mines that produce twenty-five niil- lions of dollars in one year.

 Buckingham Building
WILL BE LOCATED PERMANENTLY

As Vurpillat's visit draws to close it is apparent more and more each day that the prophecies concerning him which were made before he reached the city will be borne out in the stupendous amount of medicine that is now being disposed of by this young man. It is doubtful if ever be- fore in the history of this city one individual has acquired the same wide spread notoriety in the short space of time it has taken Vurpillat to come so prominently before the eyes of the public. His name is now a byword in this city and to-day the combined sale of all other preparations of this city would not amount 10 more than half of the medicine sold by Vurpil- lat and his local distributor, G. l.. Dexter Drug Co. Phenomenal are the results. Words of praise have been pouring in daily. To-day among the grateful callers to express their thanks was Mrs Rosenback of 199 South Elm street who brought with her fruit jar which contained monster tape worm, which was alive. Mrs Rosen- back said before at least 100 people in the office: I have been very sick woman for the past three years. I was very nervous, my stomach was bad, was constipated, would have a tired feeling, my sleep would do me no good. At times I had a ravenous appetite, other times the sight of food was repulsive to me: l had pains across my back and was unfit for my household duties. purchased | package of the New Discovery and had taken but a few doses of it when this parasite passed from my system. have treated with different physi- clans but could obtain no relief, and was on the point of despair. The sight of this monster squirming about was enough to convince me that all my troubles were caused by this tape worm. I am now convinced that 1 have finally been restored to good health and I owe 1t to this wonderful remedy. Tomorrow night will be the last night of the free show and band concerts, but the office in the Buck ingham building will remain perman- antly, where all chronic cases will be treated by the yurpillat Medicine Co. stan of physicians. Consultation, eS- animation and advise will always be given free to all who care to call.
 Nurpillat stated that his remedies could be bought at any first class drug store, and that he had made arrange. ments with G. l.. Dexter Drug Co. to act as wholesale and retail distributors for the city of Waterbury.

Shrubb Was It.

Philadelphia, May 31.-Alfred Shrubb of England, the world s champion distance runner. was the main attraction here yesterday at the games of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. It was Shrubb's first appearance fin America in a big meet. and his presence was entirely unexpected Shrubb himself had no idea he would compete in the games until yesterday morning, when he heard of them while on his way to New York from Boston. after a race with ex-Champion Randy. He took the first train from Jersey City to get here.
 There were six other starters be- sides Shrabb in the four mile race, which the English runner won in the excellent time of 20 minutes and 20 seconds Shrubb ran his first mile in 4:35. and finished two miles in 9:44. His nearest competitor was Bob Hallen. who holds the American professional championship from ten up to twenty miles.

A TRUE RUN RACE.
Peter Pan md Superman Tn Hard Contest For Belmont Stakes.

Peter Pan md Superman Tn Hard
 Contest For Belmont Stakes.
 NEW YORK, May 31.-Peter Pan, sturdy son of the great Commando, de- feated his half brother Superman by three lengths for the rich Belmont stakes at Belmont park track. Both horses ran in the colors of James R. Keene, and their success brought to the stable $23,000 and the handsome plate that each year is given the win ner. Frank Gill, the big, ungainly chestnut colt from the string of Lucky Jack" McGinnis, was third. It is estimated that 10000 persons saw the race. The Keene stable was the favorite in the betting; time, 2:15 3-5.
 The race over the eleven furlongs was heartbreaking one from start to finish. . .sa.
 When the barrier flashed the five horses were off to beautiful start. Out of the chute, across the straight track and into the IS" course darted the green jacket of Radtke on Hickory, with Paumonok at his withers and Pe- ter Pans nose in alignment with Mountains stirrup. Well in hand half length back ran Superman and Frank Gill.
 On the upper turn Gill drew on even terms with Peter Pan. and head and head they raced down the gradual winding way to the final turn. Mean time Miller had let out notch on Su- perman, and he closed in on the lead CTS with such burst of speed that the multitude. which hitherto had remain ed silent, burst out almost in unison with cries of 'Superman will win!' Come on you, Miller!' and the like. Strong as was the Brooklyn handicap winner under his impost of 126 pounds, however, the spectators had not reck- oned with the reserve strength of Pc ter Pan.
 Mountain heard the roar as he and Notter brought their mounts into the stretch fer the final run home and gave Peter Pan his head. He respond ed with a renewed burst of speed and drew away from Frank Gill, and Su- perman coming from the rear and overtaking the McGinnis horse made 1t appear as though Gill had stopped dead fin his tracks.
 In second place now. Miller leaned over far on Superman's neck. as though whispering encouragement in the horses ear, and patted his neck with his left hand. It was all up with Not ter, but nevertheless he went to his whip. Gil responded bravely for three or four strides and then gradually fell back. Peter Pan was two and half lengths in front of Superman at the finish. and CHI was five lengths behind Superman. The others were beaten of. A true run race. the better horse won.
 The talent suffered hard blow in the defeat of Good and Plenty br T. s. Martin in the Whitney Memorial stee- plechase.
