Row to Tell whether Skin Affection
II IN Inherited Blood Disease or Hot.

Sometimes it is hard to determine whether a
skin affection is sign Of blood disorder or
simply a form Of eczema. Even physicians are
often puzzled in their diagnoses. The best way
for any one afflicted is to go to Ogram's, O'Don-
nell's, Afiecks or any good druggist who han
dies pure drugs and obtain so cents worth OF
poslam. Apply this. apd If the itching stops at
once and the trouble is cured in few days 1t
may be set down as having been eczema. as this
is the way poslam acts in the worst cases of
eczema, and in curing acne. herpes, blotches,
letter, piles salt rheum, rash. BARRIERS ,and
other forms Of itch, scaly scalp and all surface
skin affections.
Those who will write to the Emergency Lab
oratories, No. 80 West Twenty fifth Street, New
York. can secure, by mail free of charge. sup
ply sufficient to cure a small eczema surface or
clear a complexion overnight and remove pim-
pies in twenty four hours.

The need OF keeping manure moist
Is especially seen in the case of horse
manure. which is naturally dry and
decomposes very rapidly. Hence 1t
is wise policy to sprinkle or water
the manure heap regularly with the
teachings from tho manure. In
France this method OF preserving
manure is generally practiced and
the product Is very highly esteemed
as fertilizer. The manure Is very
dark colored. while the straw be-
comes quite soft.
The way to make such a manure
pit Is as follows: To the depth Of
three feet. dig out a sufficiently large
space. sloping both plats toward the
center. as seen In diagram. In the
center. dig out trench one foot
wide by two feet deep. so as to catch
and hold the teachings from both ma
nure piles. Cover the sloping part
and trench with cement so that none
OF the teachings can escape into the
ground.
The manure Is placed on the in
clined plats. so arranged that the
teachings drain into the trench. from
which they are pumped and distrib
utcd over the manure heaps, 1t Is

fine ORE BODY

The work in the Thanksgiving |
mine at the 350-foot level is rapidly
proving that the best pay along the
great contact vein in Manhattan will
be found at depth. This drift is now
over zoo feet in length and every
foot of this distance is in ore as
good as that which made the Mo-
hawk-Jumbo lease at Goldield such
phenomenal dividend payer.
The Thanksgiving ledge as shown
| by these lower workings varies in
width from three to more than five
| feet and the rock will average better
than $50 to the ton, with frequent
shoots of ore that carries gold into
the fancy figures.
With no untoward circumstances,
the Thanksgiving promises now to
be the first dividend payer in this
district. Under forced draft, as
usually worked, and with ready ac-
cess to adequate milling facilities,
the mine could produce enough this
year to begin paying profits to the
stockholders.
Last Saturday the vein exposed in
the east drift at the lower level,
showed a decided change in char
acter. Careful average samples OF
the ledge, with all free gold speci-
men rock excluded, gave returns OF
over $50 in gold.
The last round of shots on Sat6r-
day broke into a shoot of high grade
and the last few days have seer
hoisted some of the finest ore ever
taken from this mine, famous for its
high grade.
The company, while planning t.
put in mill to handle Thanksgiving
ore exclusively, will continue the de
velopment of the mine on the lowe
levels
Soon after the first of next montl
work will begin on sinking the shat
to the 450-foot level.
The trend of the ledge northeast
a erly from the shaft indicates that

tory into the Forked Stick estate

Sunday at 6 p m. the Standard
mine, mill and cyanide plant. was
shut down, and for how long no one
is able to say The property was shut
down by telegraphic orders from New
York, and is the result of the EN-
ployes refusing to accept a cut IN
wages. The same evening the unions
held joint meeting and discussed
the situation and reaffirmed their in
tention to stand by their colors.
While this shutdown has thrown d
pail upon Bodie for the present, it is
still hoped that the forthcoming
meeting of the stockholders will re-
suit in the overthrow of the Lassen
crowd and the speedy resumption of
work. A number of miners have left

FASTENERS BUY
GOLD run PLACERS

An important mining deal was
closed here today when W. c. How
ard and Eastern associates acquired
title to the Gold Run placer mines
from H. Warren These placers are
situated about twelve miles south of
Golconda and have been worked with
much success for a number of years
by the hydraulic process. These
mines are right in the heart of the
Gold Run basin and there is a large
acreage of virgin ground vet to- be
worked; in fact, the claims have
only been worked in spots and wher-
ever the water was utilized rich
cleanups have been made.
1t is the intention of the new
owners to put ten men to work inn
mediately and the principal develop
ment will be an S00-foot tunnel to
bedrock When the rush of water
comes in the spring the giants will
be started and the gravel made to
give up its precious contents.
The working of these placerS
means a great deal to the Gold Run
I district as, together with the devel'
] opment work already going on, il
will have tendency to stimulate
mining throughout the camp. Hum
