FAMILY's SKIN TROUBLES.
Eczema, Heat Rash, and Scalp Affee.
tions Affiict Different Members,
But Cuticura Cures Them.

my wife had eczema for Ave or six
years. 1t was on her face and would
come and go. We thought we would
give the Cuticura Remedies trial. We
did so and she has never had sign OF
eczema for four years. / myself used
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
some time ago for falling hair. l now
have a very heavy head OF hair. We
used Cuticura Remedies for our baby,
who was nearly bald when young. She
has very nice hair now. She is very
fleshy, and We had SO much trouble
with heat that we would bathe her
with Cuticura Soap and then apply
Cuticura Ointment. 1t would dry the
heat up SO much quicker than any
thing else. Mr.. II. b. Springmire, 323

DEADLY BOMB EXPLOSION.
Dynamite Concealed in Iron Pipe a
Pioneer Foundry in Victor.

Victor, Colo.-Without the slightest
intimation that he was to be the vic
tim of a diabolical plot which might
have caused the death of a score. Os-
wald Schranz, boy of seventeen, en-
ployed in the Pioneer foundry, met
instant death Saturday while In the
performance of his duties. by the ex
plosion of an Internal machine.
w. 8. Simpson, a fellow employe
who was working beside him, was IA
tally injured at the same time and Is
apparently in dying condition in the
hospital.
Whether Schranz or Simpson had
been marked for death is not known,
but the coroner has gathered clews
which convince him that murder
Gus plot was formed. and he is on the
trail of a man whom he believes was
guilty knowledge of it, even II he was
not the principal in it.
The fatal explosion occurred about
. o'clock in the afternoon. The foun-
dry employees were engaged in raising
a heavy piece of casting by steam der
rick, when Schranz was told to pry
the casting around so that it could be
lowered in the place desired.
He seized an old piece of iron pipe
and was forcing the casting into place
with blows when the pipe exploded.
The youth was instantly killed. HIS
breast and stomach were blown open
and his internal organs were scattered
over the foundry. Both hands were
blown off at the wrist.
Simpson escaped with his life. but
his recovery is doubtful. A piece OF

his right shoulder, coming out at the
breast bone, and two ribs were cut IN

More Land Open for Location.

There is a rumOr going the rounds that action will soon be taken by the Interior Depart ment which will throw the val ley lands along the Colorado river open for location and set clement. At present these lands are not open for location on ac- count of the reclamation act passed by congress, but the fail ure of the governmentengineers to report favorably upon the Bullshead dam project has placed another view of the matter be- fore the people. There are quite a number of squatters around Needles who are holding posses sion of lands only by sqnatters' rights. Should the land be open ed for filing and patent, the squatter has ninety days in which to file on the property in prefer ence to any other person, but after that time the squatter has no rights over any other person. Should the land be opened for settlement there will be several filings made immediately on properties near Needles.-Nee- dies Eye.

ALL KINDS OF MINES.

The Los Angeles Mining Re view says;
 The highest mines in the world are probably those in Peru, $. A. at an altitude of 15, 900 feet. The highest mine in the United States is in Colorado at II, 1000 feet. The rock is frozen solid for hundreds of feet and has to be thawed by fire. Buckets on a wire tram way take down tue ore and carry cordwood and other supplies to the mine.
 The deepest mine in the world is the Tamarack copper mine, on the Keweenaw Peninsula, Mich igan. where No. shaft of that property is down over 5000 feet,
 The deepest gold mine in the world is at Bendigo. Australia. It is APO feet deep.
 The largest gold mine in the world is the Homestake, at Lead, South Dakota.
 The richest mine the world has ever known was the Consoli- dated Virginia and California at Virginia City. Nevada.
 The oldest mines in the West ern Hemisphere are those in Peru, which were worked for years by the Ineas prior to the Spanish conquest.
 The poorest mine is the one which has just enough value te lead the owner on, like an ignis fatuus, to financial ruin.

Imperial, July 15,-Shattuck & Desmond have a large force of men employed grading the val ley road fifteen miles below the international line in Mexico and it is the expectation of the men in charge of the work that with in thirty days the road to that point will be ready for operation.
 The force of men is being steadily increased and there is no doubt that it is the intention to have connection made with Yuma in the early fall.
 An official of the road who was in the valley a few days ago is quoted as having declared that in the fall through trains would be put on from Yuma to Los Angeles by way of Imperial val Bey. when this section will have something like the service it needs.
 It is presumed that at the same time this will be put on through telegraph line, and that it will then not be necessary for all message to be relayed from Im. perial Junction, causing the present delay in transmission.
