Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applica ton as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
andthat is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an iutiamed con,
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumpling sound of
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is theresult, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever; nihe cases out of ten are caus-
ed by eatarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case OF Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure.

Make II Yourself.

There is so much Rheumatism here
in our neighborhood now that the fol-
lowing advice by an eminent author
ity, who writes for readers of large
Eastern daily paper, will be highly APP
preciated by those who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake
these well in bottle and take in teas
poonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime; also drink plenty of good
water
1t is claimed that there are few vic
tins of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple homemade mixture. and
in most cases a permanent cure is the
result.
This simple recipe is said to streng-
then and cleanse the eliminative It's
sues of the Kidneys so that they can
filter and strain from the blood and
system the poisons, acids and waste
matter, which cause not only Rheuma-
tism, but numerous other diseases.
Every man or woman here who feels
that their kidneys are not healthy and
active, or who suffer from any urinary
trouble whatever, should not hesitate
to make up this mixture as it is GER
tain to do much good and may save
you from much misery and suffering
after while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix
the prescription ready to take if our
readers ask them.

MINING NOTES.

Argonaut. They are cutting a
station at the 1000 level of this
nine. A good ore body exists on the
level above running south of the
shaft. Everything looks encouraging
that this property Will in the near
future rival its bonanza days of the
past. The mining ground of the
Hoffman field is expected to be the
source of bullion yield in the future,
as we'll as the Argonaut proper.
Bunker HiIl.-A Christmas greeting
IN the shape OF an extra dividend of
three cents per share was paid to the
stockholders on the GOTH
Defender. -Gratitying reports reach
us concerning this mine. At the 100
foot level a fine ore body has been
encountered, hitherto unsupported.
BY breaking into what was supposed
to be the wall of the country rock,
an eight foot vein Of quartz was un-
covered. The quartz is reported to
be of good quality. 1t is regarded as
one of the most important discoveries
made in the history of this mine.
Fremont-The report Of a fire, the
result of carelessness, in the under
ground workings of this mine, which
was in circulation last week, turns
out to have basis Of truth. There
was no damage done worth speaking
of, as the fire was discovered in its
incipiency, and quickly put out,
after merely blackening one piece of
timber. 1t seems that a couple of
Italian miners, through with their
shift, repaired to the station to be
bauled to the top. They carried
small piece Of candle, less than an
inchSlong, and placed it on the wood
work, and sat down to await the
appearance of the skip. They went
to sleep. The candle burned down,
leaving the lighted wick in contact
with the woodwork. small fire was
the result. When the skip reached
the point the fire was discovered, and
eXtinguished. The two men were
found asleep. They were of course
discharged. There was no malicious
intent about it-purely case of
Carelessness.

Petition Against Sunday Law.

W. Leininger of lone valley. was in
jackson Monday, getting signatures
to petition to be presented to the
coming California Legislature, pro.
testing against the proposed sunday
law. The document was numerously
signed around here. The scheme to
force the outward observance OF Sun
day by closing all business under a
penal provision, is advocated in GER
tain religious quarters, under the
mistaken notion that it would help
to ill the church pews on that day.
The most Jealous opponents of this
proposition, however, are also found
among the religious element. who see
in it tendency to discriminate in
favor of those sectarian denominations
which hold the first day of the week
to be the true Sabbath day. They
hold that the province of the state is
to keep hands off of all abstract moral
and religious questions.
