MINES ACROSS RIVER
ARE LOOKING GOOD

The Sollenberger properties across
the Carson river are looking better
every day. The owners have three
men at work engaged in running tun
mel TO tap the ledge from which they
recently made a shipment OF high
grade ore. Mr.. Solienberger says that
they are in four hundred and thirty
feet with their tunnel and expect to
tap the ledge at any time. They have
spent considerable money in that VI
cinity and it is to be hoped that the
depth at which they tap the ledge will
prove the extent of the ore bodies al
ready opened up on the higher levels.

TIE
Exceptional
Equfp,rer1f

Of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attainments of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
Of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
benefcially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup OF
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA and as the gen.
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge of the above facts enables
one to decline limitations or to return them
if, upon viewing the package, the full name
of the California Fig Syrup Co. is not found
printed on the front thereof.

PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in one of the southern states says:
MY mother, since her early child
hood, was on inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for
number of years and complained Of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
"Some time ago was making an Off
cial visit to a distant part of the coun-
try and took dinner with one of the
merchants of the place. l noticed a
somewhat peculiar favour of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
81 was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, bought package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were so well pleased
with it, that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
81 had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition. but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.
Il know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members OF the
family, but not in so marked a de-
gree as in the case Of my mother. as
she was a victim of long standing"
