Great Strike on Goldroad.

Last Tuesday night, on the 700 level of the Billy Bryan mine, of the Gold Road group, four feet of ore was bro- ken into by the night shift that car ries wonderful values. The entire mass runs over 500S gold to the. ton, while small streaks gave assay returns of 23,O00$. The shaft was sunk outside of the vein and was struck few feet below the 700. Ore was broken out by the first shots in the vein, even the walls showing high mineralization. A station is being cut at this point and it is expected that an immense body of ore will be opened. The company has been sinking this shaft the past six months and are driving drift from the 800 of the Gold Road to in- tersect it on this level. This drift is now within 100 feet of connection, the greater part of the 1900 feet of distance being through rich ore. The ore bodies encountered are very large and great backs of ore are now ready for stoping throughout the mine. The wonderful strike in the Billy Bryan and the great backs of lower grade ore in the other mines on this mas- sive lode make certain the permanency of the mine as whole and assures the erection of modern milling plant for the handling of the ores. Throughout the district there is general rejoicing over the big strike and many compan- ies are taking on new life by reason of the opening up of the ore bodies on this deep level.

The Arizona Gold Mines company has issued a map showing the trend of the great gold belt from Nevada south- eastward to the Mexican line, passing through Mohave county, which it de- clares to be the greatest mineral belt on earth. Embraced in this belt are the big copper mines of Arizona, and all the gold and silver properties of the territory. It embraces the min- eral zones outlined in one of the bulle- tins of the geological survey, gotten out by the government printing office two years ago, and which has been used so extensively in outlining the mineral sections of this territory. The map is one of the best that has ever come to this office.
 Henry Lovin came in from tfe Tom Reed camp few days ago. He re- ports that everything is hustle and hustle in that great gold camp and that the stimulous given other mining enterprises in that section is something wonderful. The Tom Reed has just paid a dividend of 45,OO0S and has a large treasury surplus, which will be used for betterments. Other compan- ies are to develop their properties to the producing point and all along the line will be activity all winter.
 Leasers are to go upon the c. o. D. mine, where there are large bodies of complex ores that can be shipped at a large profit to the smelters. As soon as matters can be arranged the trib- utors will go to the property and be- gin work. Contracts have been made for the shipment of ores to the U. s. Zinc company, at Denver, where a separation of all metals in the ores will be made, the company buying the ores on an agreed basis.
 A station is being cut at the 800 lev ell of the Golden Gem mine, at Cerbat. In cutting out this station it is ex. pected that the big ore body will be cut into and proved up to some extent. The shaft is about 30 feet below the level and levels are to be run off some distance from the 800. Splendid ore is still showing in the shaft and the con- pany has cause for rejoicing over the bright outlook.
 Hon. J. F. Luthy, owner of the handsome Front street block, in King. man, came in from Albuquerque on the flyer this mol ming. MT. Luthy is also interested in group of mines in the Lost Basin section that give great promise of becoming big producers of gold. He intends to go to the mines in few days and begin development of the property.
 James Poison and l.. M. Teale have gone out to do the title work on group of mines on the east side of the Wallapai mountains, above Round Valley. The claims show good ore in the outcrop of the veins. A. F. Muter went out with tho boys and saw them safely in their camp.
 F. w. Freeman, J. l.. Lantry and well known Joplin mining man went out to the De la Fountaine and Cupel mines this morning. They will make a thorough examination of the mines and it is understood that the affairs of the company will be settled up and the property again put on business basis,

Edward F. Goltra. President of the
Missouri Iron Company of st. Louis,
was interviewed by the Chicago press
while passing through the city on route
to New York. In reply to query, he
said:
II much fear the effect on business
generally should the coming election
carry MIR. Taft to the White House, for
both of our political parties are unquali-
fiedly committed to change in our
tariff schedules, which means that it has
been definitely decided to do something
with the tariff.
"To my mind this makes the tariff a
most important issue in the campaign
to the business man. Whether he is
engaged in large or small affairs. is abb
solutely immaterial.
"Now. nothing can injure commerce
so greatly as uncertainty in prices: and
in all Mr.. Taft's speeches that have
seen, there is nothing more definite on
the subject of the tariff than the plank
in the Republican platform relative to
same. which Is woefully indefinite. To
business man it is not pleasing to see
one Of the most, if not the most. inn
portant question in the campaign so in
definitely discussed as is being done by
the Republicans. On the other hand. the
Democratic platform calls for reduct-
ion of the tariff. and heard Mr.. Bryan
in Carnegie Hall in New York few
weeks ago. and again in addressing the
Business Men meetings here last week,
plainly state and emphasize his state
ment by repeating same. that the Demo-
cratic platform promised reduction of
the tariff duties, but that in executing
the change it must be done gradually.
to the end that we may not only finally
return to a safe and reasonable basis of
tariff schedules, but that in consummat-
ing the same. it be done gradually. that
commerce be not disturbed in the opera
tion. do not recall Mr.. Bryan's exact
phraseology, but | do know that is his
proposed method Can anyone question
the conservatism or sanity of such a
method?
''Now. contrast that with the methods
employed lately at Washington in the
attempts TO correct abuses. And TAX
ing Mrs Taft literally in his promise to
follow in Mr.. Roosevelt's path. can
anyone wonder at the sudden alarm
with which the business men would be
seized should this impending election.
as | have said. unfortunately carry Mr..
Taft TO the White House?

Deafnes. Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed coE-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumblng sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever. nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh. which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars. free.
