Judge Gaynor's election to the New York Mayoralty. proves that mud throwing has ceased to be an effec- tive factor in campaigns. Not for some years has a candidate been so bitterly attackcl. and yet the returns show no effect therefrom. Indeed, the indications are that these attacks ope- rated upon the boomerang principle. Not even the Tammany taint which defeated the remainder of the ticket. sufficed to defeat him or even to cut down what the Tribune calls his tire mendous plurality
 Mir. Hearst received enough votes to indicate that had he thrown his strength to Barnard instead of becom- ing. a candidate himself. the Republi- can nominee would probably have been elected. He made a miscalculation. It was his evident expectation to draw enough votes from Gaynor to give Barnard plurality: the returns show that he made no material inroad upon Gaynor's strength. MT. Hearst's rec ord is mostly made up of miscalcula- tions.

Fermentation ana
 FIaiuIenca Prevented
In the Stomach by Charcoal, the Great Absorbent, nti-Fcrmentative,
 and Deodorant

Some years ago pr. Belloc, a retired surgeon of the French army, turned his attention to charcoal as a remedy for dyspepsia, Fermentation and flat ulence, or gas in the stomach and in- testines- He was himself a sufferer from these symptoms, and thus had an opportunity of testing personally it's therapeutic action.
 He decided after many tests that charcoal made of willow wood was by far the best. He found that charcoal made of other woods caused a disa- greeable taste in the mouth-even painful excoriations of the mucous membrane. as we'll as thirst. and "a pinching sensation in the stomach 1; but not one of these symptoms ever occurred when willow charcoal was employed
 He was in the habit of prescribing from two to six teaspoonfuls for his patients. but he himself frequently took as much as 500 grammes,or more than fifteen ounces per day. There is really no such thing as taking too much charcoal An excess cannot be taken. for the reason that the more you take the better it is for you. as it is entirely harmless. and through it's use yours system will be completely cleansed of all it's impurities. the fer mentation of food and the formation of gas in the stomach prevented and the absorption of toxic products or poisonous material into the blood from the stomach and fntestines estopped-
 When a regular. physician took as much as fifteen ounces of charcoal daily. It's harmlessness and beneficial effects as an absorbent. deodorant. germ-destroyer and dyspepsia cure should be apparent to all.
 The Academic Rationale de Medf- cine of Paris reported very favorably on a memoir which Dr. Belloc pub lished on the use of charcoal, and in France it soon became a favorite remedy. Its reputation spread to this country and now we find charcoal lozenges extensively sold. prescribed and employed as dyspepsia remedies pr. Belioc's charcoal was administer ed to his patients in the form of a powder stirred up in water, which was very disagreeable to the taste, and it's efficacy was far less than in the form of lozenge.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are a great and happy improvement upon this form of administering charcoa! They are made of the best willow charcoal. freshly prepared, and rem dered exceedingly palatable by the ad- them a taste that is in strong contrast to that of ordinary powdered char coal. Nothing could be more effica- cious in it's effects than charcoal given in this desirable form. Two or three of Stuart's Charcoal L6zenges taken after meals are sufficient to give com plete relief. Go to your druggist and buy a box. but insist on having Stuart's, as there are many worthless limitations on the market. not made of willow wood, but of poplar, box-wood, dog-wood, etc, which are not good 25 cents per box Sample box will be sent free by mail upon request Ad- dress F.

VICTOR LEASE AT RAwHIDE

On the Victor lease at Rawhide they

feet. This was lone for the purpose
of providing space for ore bins. Gen
eral Manager Cook informs the Press
Times that they now rave on the prop

~tention of the company to always have
on hand 500 tons Of loose, broken down
ore with the object in view Of always
being in a position to keep the mill
moving. Mr.. Cook states that they
have ore enough in the property to
keep the mill running without a break
for two years. He also states that he
has received word from DIR. Wheeler
in Goldield that the proposition for
the cyanide plant has been financed ami
that work will start in that direction
before long. He also states that the
capacity of the mill will be doubled.

fROSPECTORS ADD ANOTHER
FIND TO THEIR SUCCESSES
BATTLE MOUNTAIN, New, Sept. 2

BATTLE MOUNTAIN, New, Sept. z.
Peter Nash and ID. A. Macdonald,
two of the most successful prospectors
who have been engaged in searching
for the hidden treasures of gold and
silver confined in the rocky vaults of
the Battle Mountain range, have
added a new discovery to their former
successes in this line of achievement.
The new strike is a quartz vein in a
porphyry and quartzite contact and is
situated just west Of the top of the
range and almost due west of this
place.
Ore running from $1,000 to 1879 to
the ton in gold and silver has been TAX
en- from the ledge.
Sufficient work has not yet been done
on the discovery to determine its ulti-
mate magnitude, but the showing at
present indicates hat a strong ledge
will be opened up that may disclose
even greater values than those encount-
cred on the surface. The indications
point to permanency and the contact,
which can be traced for a long dis
lance, is covered with locations, many
claim locators having rushed to the
scene as the strike became known.
Messrs. Nash and Macdonald are the
discoveries Of the Nash-McDonalc
mine of this district. recently acquired
by Iowa men, and which is classed
among the best properties of the dis
