Grandma Sanderson is a wonderful
woman. She is in as good health to-
day as ever in her life. although she
is over one hundred years old.
In letter to the Peruna Drug Mfg.
Co., she gives the highest credit to Pc
runa for her excellent health and ex.

Surely the evidence presented by
such cases as these ought not only to
fispel prejudice against peruna, but
inspire confidence in il.

good many years ago.
"a little more than two years ago I
contracted a very severe cold, which
resulted in la grippe. Owing to the
severity Of the disease, and my ez-

However, / still continue to take
peruna, a spoonful every night before

Peruna is an ideal tonic for old
people. 1t is compound Of herbal
remedies that has been known to the
medical profession for many years.
Peruna operates as a tonic by cleans
ing and invigorating the mucous mem
branes, This explains why Pernna
has become so extensively known as .
catarrh remedy. Catarrh is simply q
condition of depravad mucous mem-
branes, peruna changes this deprav-
ity into healthful vigor.

The county commissioners Of Stevens
county appropriated from the game fund
the sum of $500 for the purchase OF 100
pairs of Hungarian cartridges from a
Pennsylvania breeding establishment
The birds will cost $3.50 pair in
Pennsylvania and it is estimated that
the cost of shipping and handling them
will amount to about $3.50 a pair.
Sportsmen in the eastern portion of the
county express the hope that few pair
of the birds may be released in this
portion of the county.
The commissioners also received a
communication from $. S. Drew, who
has charge of the public fish hatchery at

ordered for distribution in the various

distribution between Feb and Is. The

also be charged to the game fund.

copper, lead and silver only and was
made by Stowell & Co.. the Spokane
assayers.
The results were very pleasing to the
owners Of the property, as it showed
that the ore body they are now working
in consists largely of lead carbonates Of
good yalne. They have five-foot ledge
OF the carbonates at the depth at which
they are drifting from the shaft.
! The assayer shows copper values
running 1882, lead carbonates, SO 80,
and silver $3.50. 4 total value OF $44 "A
| to the ton.
These values are computed on a basis
of copper at ii cents pound, lead at
cents and silver at 80 cents an ounce
| The owners will continue on the drift
for some distance and hope to strike the
main ore body within short distance
