exhaustible supply Is awaiting the
grinders OF the mills. 1t is we'll to
know. lest these facts seem like a fable.
that for 10 years J. II. Kinkead. the in
ventor of the Kinkead mill. has been
reaping a rich harvest on the Consoli-
idated Virginia dumps. parts of which
day they seem to be hardly scratched.
so enormous ave they grown during the
passing years.
The Sutro tunnel begins at a point in
the town Of Sutro east OF the Comstock.
After four miles of a route under the
hills. II separates into two arms, one Of
which extends for a milo and a half
further to the Utah mine. the other for
a mile and a half to the Alta on the
south. There they meet the mine shafts
at average depth of 1900 feet. Every
mine on the Comstock, which includes
Gold Hill, is connected with his tunnel.
In short, the drifts alone or the old lode.
not to mention wines, upraises and
slopes, total more than 200 miles. This
is a conservative statement. These drifts
are large enough to allow a mule to pass
through. The earth from these cata-
combs now lies on the surface. True.
all of this is not pay rock. but expert
ence has shown that to work the dumps
as a whole would prove profitable.
Joseph Dietrich of Gold Hill. who for
years has been working leases obtained
from various mining companies, began
to realize a few years ago that rich
harvests were in these dumps. He OBJ
tanned leases on the Confidence and Chal-
lenge dumps. agreeing to pay the mining
companies $3.50 a ton for all the rock
taken from the dumps. Dietrich's mill
is a 15-stamp one, which was formerly
used at the Alta mine and which he pur-
chased from Alex McCone, owner of the
McCone foundry. situated between Vir-
GINA City and Gold Hill. The reader
can Judge for himself whether leases
were a success. After they expired. Mr..
Dietrich was unable to obtain new ones
from the mining companies. He must
have opened their eyes. 1t must be re-
membered, too, that even this mill,
which is one of the old style stamp
mills that at one time formed a line
from Gold Hill through Silver City to
Dayton on the south and from the lower
part of Virginia City to the mouth of
the Seven Mile canyon and thence to the
Utah mines, does not save all the values.
Buffers Cyanide plant in Six Mile
Canyon and the Davis plant in Dayton
which were constructed to work the
tailings from these old mills are today
like glorious pulsating monuments to
the values lost in other days. But, that

General Demand

Of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; q laxative which physicians could

wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet

In supplying that demand with its ex-

on the merits of the laxative for its remark

belief that in this way he can amass

HE pursues the same method that
is followed by those who buy or sell

His whole idea is to get rich quick,

his broker for additional margin to
carry the transaction must be met.
Having exhausted his own money,

are correct, he makes the false step

Bank Clerks Tempted.

And in this connection let me re-
mark that while the bank officer is
surrounded on all sides by temptation,
and some criminally use the banks
funds, one must not for a moment
think that they are the only ones
connected with the institution who
are subject to temptation and who,
far too often, listen to the voice of
the tempter and become defaulters.
Every clerk in the bank, whether he
handles a dollar of the banks money
or not, is subject to many, ii not all,
of the temptations that beset his SUI
perior officer. The defalcations by
the clerical force of banks can be
traced to nearly all the causes enum-
Grated as being the cause of defalca-
tions by officers.
"But at bottom the fault is with
the officers. Many bank clerk who
has been unfaithful to his trust and
has used the funds of the institution
with which he was connected for
speculation, in the stock, grain or cot
ton market, or for games OF chance at
the gambling house, or for betting at
the race track, or for eXtravagant liv-
ing, etc., has been encouraged to take
his first false step by the loose man.
ner in which the affairs of the bank
were conducted and it's accounts kept.
He saw the slip-shod way in which
things were done, by every one con-
nected with the bank, that clerical
errors in the books were not located
and corrected, and that general mis-
management prevailed. Is it any won.
der that he used the funds of the
bank and took the chances of detec-
ton with such a condition of affairs
surrounding him? The marvel is that,
under such conditions, more do not
succumb to temptation.
"The defauluer who is merely a
clerk in the bank and whose misdeeds
are usually traceable to lack of prop
er supervision of his work by his
superiors is generally brought to book
for his dishonesty. He is usually con-
victed, poor fellow. He has no infu-
entail associates to use their power to
shield him. He has no money or
wealthy relatives or friends to employ
able criminal lawyers to defeat the
ends of Justice. The bank officer, on
the other hand, having what his clerk
sorely lacks, too often escapes the
just punishment which his criminal
acts demand

BOY KEPT SCRATCHING.
Eczema .as;eu Years-Face Was All
Raw-Skin Specialists Failed, But
Cuticura Effected Cure.

when my little boy was six weeks
old an eruption broke out on his face.
1 took him to a doctor, but his face
kept on getting worse until it got so
bad that no one could look at him.
His whole face was one crust and
must have been very painful. He
scratched day and night until his face
was raw Then l took him to all the
best specialists in skin diseases but
they could not do much for him. The
eczema got on his arms and legs and
we could not get nights sleep in
months. I got a set of Cuticura Rene
dies and he felt relieved the first time
l used them. I gave the Cuticura
Remedies a good trial and gradually
the eczema healed all up. He is now
seven years old and I think the trou-
BILE will never return. Mrs. John G.

One Peril of Dentistry.

"The greatest snag a dentist can run
up against" said one of the clan, sis
the Office of a deceased dentist, whose
widow would like competent man to
take his place. You see such adver-
tisements all over. Beware of them.
There's a double meaning to that in
sidious ad You must not only take
his place as competent dentist, but
if the widow takes shine to you, you
must replace him also as a husband
TITS terrible. Positively the only
way I got out of it alive in one in
stance was to do such poor dentistry
that the people wouldn't come to me
even to get their 9th pulled. At that
l think if | had showed the slightest
willingness to learn the trade she
would have permitted me to fill the
place of second husband and dentist
