CAUSE DISTRESSING CON-
PLANTS,

You cannot be- over-careful in the
selection OF medicine for children.
only the very gcntlest bowel medicine
should ever be given. except i'm emer-
gercy cases. Ordinary pills, cathartics
and purgatlves are apt TO do more
harm than good. They cause gripping,
nausea and other distressing after
effects that are frequently health-de-
stroying and a life-lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexall Orderles as the safest
and most dependable remedy for con-
stipation and associate bowel disord-
ers. We have such absolute faith in
the virtues of this remedy that we
sell IL on our guarantee of money back
in every instance where it fails to give
entire satisfaction. and we urge all in
need OF such medicine to try it at our
risk.
Rexall Orderlies contain an entire
! ly new ingredient which is odorless,
tasteless and colorless. As an active
agent, it embraces the valuable quail
tiles of the best known intestinal regu-
lator tonics.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like can
dy. They are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action may be taken at
any time. day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
looscness or other undesirable effects
They have a very natural action upon
the glands and organs with which they

UNION BEGINS WORK
ON M'KlTTRlCK FLAT

The Union Oil vompany, through con-
tracts-or leases properly-is to become
a heavy operator in the McKittrick
field on the fiat, it practically having
undertaken to prove the territory en-
braced in ten sections, which means
broadly forty wells, one for each quar-
ter section in the area named.
]. r. Zumwalt, e. h White and about
200 other locators have made leases to
Barnsdale, Drake, Yancey and Swee-
ney, and these in turn have contracted
with w. w. Orcutt for the Union. 1t is
stipulated that the land shall be eX-
plotted for oil, the Union to receive 120
acres out of every section.
The original locators will receive a
quarter of the proved land. These 10
cations were made some years ago, and
the Yancey well on section at Nc
Kittrick has directed attention to the
fact that it is probably oil bearing land.
The recording fees on the bulky in
struments filed at Bakersfield amount
ed to $3.50. They set forth the condi-
tions of the contract or lease. The
Union through its representatives, is
already in the McKittrick field, and the
contract now made with Mr. Orcutt
shows that the concern is to do a vast
amount Of development work there.

FINDS $500 ORE ON
ALPINE TAVERN LINE

NJ. r. Ryan, owner Of the Dawn
mine near Mount Lowe, claims to have
discovered a ledge which runs as high
a S $500 to the ton right under the track
of the Alpine Tavern line.
Ryan plans to tunnel into the
mountalnside TO develop the lode he
has discovered. He was first attracted
to the ore by bit Of rock sticking out
through a cut made by the railroad.
His survey found that it was an eX-
tension of the mineralized zone Of the
Dawn mine and was within his claims,
He followed the pay streak down the
mountain side with the result that be-
low the tracks over which thousands
of persons have passed he found the
rich ore.

degrees of success iu the mountains
north Of Pasadena for number of
YEARS. He has traced the pay streak
of the Dawn mine through 1000 feet

COLLlERY STRIKE CLOSES
MINES AT NEWCASTLE
Demand Made That Properties Be
Nationalized and Worked by
the Government

VICTORIA, b. c., Dec. 1.-THE Roy
al Mail steamer Aorangi, which arrived
yesterday from Australia, got the last
cargo of bunker coal from Newcastle
before the mines were absolutely shut
down on account of the great colliery
strike which has had such a disastrous
effect on Australian trade.
The Sydney Mining Herald states
that the strike has shown the failure
of labor government, and that trades
unionism in Australia, led by ultra
Socialists, is in the balance. The strik-
ers are asking that q mine be worked
during the strike on cooperative
basis, and demand that the coal mines
be nationalized and worked by the gov
ernment.
The wheat and wool trades. which
promised to have record seasons, have
been seriously handicapped, and many
of the steamers are idle because of the
failure to secure coal.

UNION HILL APPROACHES
LUCKY LEDGE IN CR0SSCUT

NEVADA CITY, Dec. 1L--That the
this district is being approached is evil
dent from a stream of water encoun-
tered in the crosscut amounting, ac-
cording to Superintendent Graham's be-
lief, to eight miners inches. The flow
was struck by a machine drill, and OPP
erations at that point Immediately
ceased.
The hole was plugged up, and yester-
day the work of installing a 14-inch
Cornish pump in the 500-leyel TO handle
the water was commenced. The 1O-inch
pump was Inadequate. The crosscut
has been driven toward the Lucky
ledge, and the big body of water en-
countered is taken as the best evidence
that the vein is near
