OLD PEOPLE MADE YOUNG

Hills Rheumatic Pills are a God
send to any person over 80 years old
By their gentle, natural stimulation of
kidneys, liver and bowels they throw
off the poisons which clog the sys-
tenn, causing the twinges, aches and
pains which make old age hard to
bear. When these poisons are removed
there is no more pain-the muscles
and joints become supple-you eat and
sleep better and feel 80 years younger.
When old age comes the sewers of
the body become clogged-kidneys are
inactive--the liver is torpid-the bow
els do not act freely. The waste mat
ter is kept in the system. It's POlS-
ON. The result is the same as though
the house pipes had clogged and the
sewerage was backing up into the cell

The question of a mill is one that
should not be considered at the pres

deep enough to warrant the erection
of large plant on the ore already
exposed; nor are the workings in a
shape that enough ore could be ex-

As the veins hold their values and

that by doing the development work

cate that they are diminishing either
in size or in values contained.
The values in the ore are chiefly
gold, very little silver being present:
there is no evidence of copper lead
or zinc, their absence being a good
factor in either the amalgamation or
cyanide treatment, as the presence of
any of them make the ore more re-
fractory, and also increases the con-
sumption of cyanide.
The gangue is chiefly the red oxide
of iron and quartz; little sulphide
of iron is also present,

are patented
Golden Messenger.
The Golden Messenger" lode is
opened up by an inclined shaft 15O
leet in depth, in which at the bO-too,
level Il drift was run 100 feet north
erly and 400 feet in southerly di-
rection. OF this $50 feet about 400
feet has been stopped to the surface,
This stope shows that the chute of
ore varied i'll width from to IA feet,
and was continuous for the 400 feet in

and along the continuation of the
chute in the floor of the drift below,

From this drift on the 60-foot level
the shaft had been continued down
the vein for about 80 feet further,
showing Il continuous vein varying
from to 8 feet in width and assays
taken across the entire vein every 10
feet showed an average of 500 in
gold
a cross-cut tunnel has been started
on the Faith" ground to tap this
shaft at its bottom, drifts will then
be run on the vein, each way, block
ing out the ore and then stopping ii
for the mill, In this way large
quantity of ore can be obtained with
out the necessity of hosting.
AS the topography of the country
below the level Of the present tunnel
is rather flat, it would not pay to
start a tunnel for the purpose of tap
ping the vein at a still lower level
The ground at the 150-foot level OF
the shaft is perfectly dry, so it is
very likely that considerable depth
could be sunk before any water would
be encountered, and as the present
incline shaft is very crooked, owing
to the variance of the pitch of the
vein Qrom 43 degrees to 70 degrees
in the bottom), it would not pay tC

the mouth of the tunnel, by contin

French Gold Bar Mining & Milling
Co.
Dear Sirs- Complying with your re-
quest for report on your properties,
| visited the claims the first week of
this month, finding a number Of veins
opened up in such shape that a
good estimate of the quality and
quantity of the ore, as far as uncov-
cred, could be made and also what
could be expected by future develop

Location.
The French Bar Gold Mining &
Milling company's property is located
in York (unorganized) mining district
in Lewis and Clark county, about
Il mile and one-half from the town of
York and about one-half mile from
out creek, this being about twenty
(20) miles north of the city of Helena,
Mont.
A good wagon road leads up to the
north of the new cross-cut tunnel on
the Faith claim, which will be the
main portal to the working on the
Faith" and Golden Messenger
lodes.
Geology.
The foundation of this district con-
, sists chiefly of states, quartzites and
gabbro, the latter being a basic, ig-
| neous rock having n granitoid struc-
ture but differing from true granite
| in not containing quartz or mica, and
the felspar being chiefly plagioclase
| instead of orthoclase.
This gabbro occurs in dykes as in.
| trusons in the states and quartzites
| and is presumably the source of the
ore deposits, as it shows evidence OF
| being mineralized, carrying consider
| able sulphides. 1t was injected in the
