INDIA E. PINKHAM

No other medicine has been so successful in relieving the suffering of women or received so many gen. uine testimonials as has Lydia E. Pinkham'syegetable Compound.
 In every community you will find women who have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg. etable Compound. Almost every one you meet has either been bene. fited by it, or has friends who have.
 In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, any womanany daymay see the files containing over one mil. lion one hundred thousand letters from women seeking health, and here are the letters in which they openly state over their own sigma. lures that they were cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 Lydia k. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved many women from surgical operations.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is made from roots and herbs, without drugs, and is whole. some and harmless.
 The reason why Lydia E. Pink. hams Vegetable Compound is so successful is because it contains in- gradients which act directly upon the feminine organism, restoring 1t to healthy normal condition.
 Women who are suffering from those distressing ills peculiar to their sex should not lose sight of these facts or doubt the ability of Lydia k. Pihkham's Vegetable Compound to restore their health.

CAMPS OF LODI AND PHONOLITE

Two mining districts of Nevada, the
Lodi and Phonolite camps, are watch
ing the trend of events in the S~agebrush
state with considerable silent satisfac-
ton, says the Salt Lake Tribune. This
is for two reasons-one is that proper
ties now being operated are showing up
very satisfactory results, while the
other reason is that railroad building
and smelter erection promise to bring
their sourc closer to the world
markets.
Sam King returned Monday from the
two camps. He and numerous other
Salt Lakers are interested in both dis
%tricts. among the organizations of
Utahns being the Independence, Lodi
Gold and Copper company, Lucky Girl,
Paymaster, Amethyst and others.
Nearly all those properties are now at
work. while those idle are preparing for
an active campaign of development fol
lowing the splendid metal showings on
adjoining or nearby properties. The
Illinois property, for years one of the
faithful producers of the section, is
getting ready to build a smelter, the
second plant to be erected for Illinois
ores. The railroad to be built between
Sehurz and Rawhide will come within

Tonopah Elk.

On the Forman- Riggs lease on the
Earl Mining %company's ground, in
prosecuting from the 50-foot shaft, a
ledge was encountered from which high
paintings were taken. The Johnson
lease has 40 tons of ore which will run
$40 a ton, taken from a surface cut.
They have a shaft down so feet and are
also getting out ore. The LaLime-
Moore lease is down Is feet and has
struck three feet of quartz containing
small stringers, assays from which
show an average of $14 a ton. The
Chapman brothers, of mill fame, have
secured a lease on the Earl Mining
company's property, known as No. 6,
and began active work yesterday with
quite a force of men.
A total of $4,000 in bullion has left
camp since the first of the month, and
Yesterday a bar valued at $500 was
sent to Tonopah.
Machinery is now on the way there
for the installation of another mill, the
seventh for the camp.
Hardly a day passes that a shipment
of bullion is not received from Manhat-
tan by the local banks, on its way to
the mint. From a reliable source it is
said that up to last night $4,000 IN
bullion had passed through this city
since the first of the month, and y%ester-
dav a bar valued at $500 was received
from the northern town.
George f. Holesworth, of Reno, who is
associated with M. T. Michaels, OF Man
haitian, has been in camp for the past
week, and together they have been
looking over the available ore for treat

the mill will be supplied with sufficient
water to keep it continuously in opera
ton.
The new ore body recently broken
into in the Keane Wonder, below the
footwall, is "a feet wide and is said to
average 500 in gold. This is one of the
most remarkable bodies of ore today ex-
posed in Bullfrog district, and added
to what there is in sight in the mine,

MANY LEASES IN OPERATION
In GOLD CIRCLE DISTRICT

A camp certainly cannot be called
slow when within thirty days Of the
commencement of active work there are
FIVE shipping properties in the district,
in fact this is an unusually large num-
Der of shipping mines within so short
n time.
From the development work now be-
ing prosecuted on a number Of prop
critics and the gratifying showing now
in sight it is very probable that a mum
Der Of additional shippers win be added
to this list within the next thirty days.
Everywhere that legitimate develop
ment has been prosecuted high grade
material has been disclosed, and the
mineralized area is now demonstrates
to be about ~thirty-ive miles long and
twenty miles wide, and hence an IN
limited field is offered to those opera
tors who desire to conduct mining on
the most extensive scale. The ores are
positively free milling, being a por-
phyritic quartz and there is ample
water for all mining purposes in tho
district.
The Gold Circle mining region is the
most promising mineral field in the
west today and the fact that practical
and experienced mining men have taken
over properties here and are actually
developing them is positive assurance
of the great merit of this wonderful
gold bearing zone, where the values in
the hutcrop are from s25 to 10000 per
ton in gold, and these enormous dykes
are from two to fifty feet high and can
be traced on their trend for a distance
of several miles on the surface.
The ores being free milling and am
pie water at hand there seems little
doubt that with milling facilities on the
ground, these ores can be mined and
milled for less than 81 per ton, which,
If the ores only average $25 in gold,
will certainly yield a very handsome
profit on legitimate investments.

spots and stringers Of ore carrying
good values have been found, and the
latter are being followed by a drift.
On the s00-foot level the east drift
on the South vein from the south
crosscut is now in about 40 feet. The
ledge shows about a foot Of high grade
ore. in the face, and has shown prae-
tieally the same all along the drift.
Stopping continues on the Brougher vein
on this level both east and west of the
shaft. The back Of the Slopes on the
east shows from 3 to 3 feet Of high
grade ore. while to the west the vein is
smaler-about IS inches-but still
richer. Much good ore is being taken
from these workings.
Mcnamara
Good reports continue to come from
this mine, the developments of the past
week having shown up an excellent
body of ore in the western portion of
the property, where all work is being
concentrated at present, owing to the
lawsuit with the West End Con-, which
confines them to a block of territory
that is not in dispute.
In the east stope, after following the
ore upwards for over l25 feet. the vein
faulted, and a WINE is now being sunk
from the top of the stope to pick the
ledge up again, a segment of which is
known to be in the footwall. Some ore
is still being extracted from this stope,
which has produced a large quantity of
hee ore.
Consolidated Report Denied
The reports being spread by the east
ern papers to the eject that the Mon
tana- Tonopah Mining company had
made arrangements with another min
ing company in T%onopah to treat a
quantity of it's ores in the Montana
mill, are positively denied in an inter
view between Chas. E. Knox, president
of the company, and a representative of
the Miner. The mill is kept running
continuously on it's own ore, of which
there is more in sight now in the mine
than there has been at any time since
the completion Of the mill. An average
of LOO tons is treated every week and
the mill is making an excellent record,
having obtained an average extraction
this week of 90 per cent.

in character, and will average better
than 800 across the face of the vein.
There is said to be every indication
that this body VIII be permanent. We
have been unable to get in touch with
those in charge of the property locally,
but expect that in a coming issue we
will be able to print some very into.-
esting news regarding this estate.
Big Ledge Group
On the Big Ledge group a vein about
twenty feet wide and carrying some fine
rock has been discovered. Three men
are working at present. The strike was
made in an unexpected place. 1t was
believed a good while ago that there
was much high grade rock on this prop
erty, and an attempt was made to OBJ
tain a lease. Now that Matt Jellinek,
one of the owners, is on the ground, 1t
is possible that those wanting leases
will be able to obtain them. Mr.. Jel-
linek is at present out of camp, and
nothing definite can be obtained as to
his intentions regarding future work,
but il is believed that he will push de-
velopment from now on.

The hoist on the Nevada Crow
estate has now been working for a week
and development is going on rapidly IN

feet. 1t is the intention of the com
nanv TO 90 to considerable depth be-
fore drifting for the ore bodies. Inc
showings with depth are improving, and
there is every reason to believe that
the values will be high when the ore
is opened up. The company is also
driving a tunnel, which is n at,ut 10
feet. This tunnel will have to be
driven about $50 feet to strike the
,edoe. which shows well on the surface
and which should, taking into eonsid-
Grafton the general conditions, snow
oreat values in the tunnel. This com
rorv has all the men at work that they
have places for at present, but as new
workings are opened up more men WIZ
be put tn work.
