To Prevent erluht,s Disease

Bright's Disease-Consumption OF
the kidneys, is just as fatal as con
sumption of the lungs and as it is IL
able to attack any one when their kid
news are in a disordered condition,
everyone should watch their kidneys
and keen them healthy. One way to
do this is to keep them healthy. One
way to do this is to keep the stomach
and liver healthy. If either OF these
organs are unhealthy the kidneys
soon become affected. Keep your sto-
mach healthy by using Rydale's Stom-
acn Tablets and your liver by Ky
dale's Liver Tablets and thus prev
ent Bright's Disease. -Shurtleh Phar-

FREIGHT EARNINGS OF
ROADS ARE INCREASING
OnIv Norfolk and Western and Ches-
apeake and Ohio Report Passen-
ger Decrease.

RICHMOND. VA. March lI.-Rail-
roads in the State are beginning to
show considerable gain in both
freight and passenger traffic.
Under the laws of the State the car.
riers are required TO file with the
State Corporation Commission
monthly reports of their earninSs- and
these are nearly all on hand for the
month of January. 1909. Two Of the
roa ds-the Southern and the Seaboard
have not sent in their reports so
far. but they are long overdue.
The Norfolk and Western and the
Chcs apeake and Ohio show decreases
in passenger revenues. but the freight
earnings begin to give some indica-
ton of the gradual resumption Of bust
ness as compared with the same
month OF last wear. The increase in
freight earnings applies to all III"
roads.
II is gratifying to the commission
to see the revenue increase. and IL IS
also interesting to note that only two
of the roads show a falling OF az
compared with wear ago. The num-
her of idle cars to he seer along the
roads is not neariy so great as II was
several months ago. and II is believed
that the reports for the month Of Feb
ruary. will show an even larger in
crease than January, which is always
the OF month for the year so far
as freight handling is concerned.
The following figures show the in
creases in the freight earnings Of the
more important roads Of the State
for the months named. as compared
with the same month one year ago

STILL GOING ON.
Exploratory Work on the
VermiliOn.

The storm of last week some
what dampened the ardor of the
enthusiastic explorers on the Yer
million, but this week everything
is again going at a lively gait which
bodies good for the range. The
larger part of the activity is being
displayed in the vicinity of Tower
but the prospects for much work
in this immediate vicinity for the
winter, is exceedingly bright.
w. H. Cole and Norman Nc
Donald of the diamond drill firm of
Cole & Mcdonald were in the city
Tuesday and it is understood that
this firm will soon put several drills
at work on section rs. Consider
able exploratory work was done OH
this property in the early days
with fair results. The property
has about as good a showing as
any hereabouts and it is to be hop
ed that drills will be started.
Bert Merritt who was in the city
Wednesday and visited the Section
80 mine in company with Alfred
Merritt, Lewis Merritt and Geo. A.
St. Clair, made the statement that
much work would be done here
abouts this winter. He spoke in
enthusiastic terms of the prospects
at various properties and said Sec
ton 80 was winner. Much work
is being done on 80, the only draw
back being experienced is the short
age of men.
A party of 1S, officers and stock
holders in the Vermilion Iron De-
velopment company which controls
the Pine Island and Murray lands
near Tower, were up Sunday and
inspected their holdings. While
there it was also decided to begin
active exploratory work on their
property. This company has most
excellent prospects and backing
and something tangible will result
from their labors.
The White Iron Lake Iron Min
ing company will soon begin work
on the LaChance claim in Oils.
The company also expects to re-
sumo work on their property south
east of here soon.
The Armstrong Lake Iron COM
pany have received a diamond and
a churn drill and are now busy
getting them in running order at
their properties. John Helmer was
up from Duluth the latter part of
the week to get things started.
]. c. McGreevy who has been
conductor on the Iron Range al
most since the beginning of the
road, has taken lengthy leave of
absence it is understood to conduct
the exploratory work on the Roy
property. McGreevy is a hustler
wherever he is at and the Roy will
know he is there.
Two carloads of machinery for
the North American Mining COM
pany have arrived. 1t consists of
an air compressor and hosting en-
CINE. The boilers have not arrived
as yet.
It is said that the drill operating
on the Mud creek property has
shown 11o feet of ore and is still
working in ore.
