Start of Wild Goose Chase.

Last November a man representing him
self to be from Nevada stated that he
knew Of a big gold ledge in the south
western part of Nevada that was worth
millions. He agreed with Lipmann to go
out and locate it If he could be staked
for the trip When it came to tying him
up with a contract he hesitated and fin
ally said he could not give an answer IN
til the next morning. The next morning
he appeared and stated that, as he had
been in trouble in Nevada and had only
been pardOned out of the penitentiary
on consideration of his leaving the state
never to return, he was afraid to make
the trip. He had a friend, however, who
was also criminal, who knew as much
about the location of the gold ledge as
he did. but his friend was out of the
Utah peniteutiaFy on parole; If the lat
ter could arrange to have the office re-
spOnsible for keeping a record on his
movements to report him present in the
state for the entire month of December
he would go and make the locations in
behalf of his pal and the parties who
we're to bear the expense. Well, a con-
tract was made with him, and George
Wilson was selected to go with him and
see that everything was as represented
and to pay the costs of making the
trip.
Wilson was q little leary of the prop
osition and advised his associates before
leaving that. if the thing turned out a
fake, he believed he could find some
thing at Humboldt that would be. worth
tackling. Wilson had previously heard
of the rich gold ore that Indian Ike Aad
been peddhnG around and he wanted to
investigate He wanted to meet the In
dian and see If there was a chance to do
business. Well, the southwestern Nevada
proposition did not pan out The fellow
could not find the ground. so he was
sent back to Utah, and Wilson went to
Humboldt

Indian ike's Mine.

He found the Indian and also learned
that a white man in California was in
terested with him in the ground. The
latter evidently did not know a great
deal about the discovery that his Indian
partner had made. Wilson, struck a bar
gain with the Indian and then got ]. r.
Turner to go and make an inspection
of the property When that had been
done and samples of the ore had been
sent TO Salt Lake, the real exciting fea-
lures of the business materialzed The
ore was turned over to an assayer here
on Dec 10 last, and the returns showed
it to run S24. sSS per ton. Lipmann, Rock
lidge ana Wilson then left for camp and
with Turner and the Indian, went I'D
to inspect the ground and have the In-
dian show where the ore came from.
We found an open cut from which
the Indian said much of the ore he had
sold came from. and he also showed the
hole from which the samples had been
dug by Turner.
There seemed to be nothing in the
hole" said Mr.. Lipmann yesterday. "but
lot OF white looking quartz that showed
no gold to speak of. The Indian was
told to go down TO his cabin and bring
UP some powder and tools. and put
hole down that we could see what the
ground looked like after a shot had been
fired He did so. and talk about re-
suits. Why We gathered up ssckfuI
or more Of samples that we're simply
plastered with gold The hole was filled
up again and We went over the ground
10 learn more ABOUT the outcrop OF the
vein. With Il We were perfectly salts
fled, so We continued our negotiations
and finally secured signatures to a lease
and bond On the property. Then we got
busy to acquire seven claims adjoining
the two owned by the Indian and the
Californian, and it is only within the
last few days that We have been abs
to get that part of the deal closed up.
owing to the fact that there were sew
ersl owners. and they were scattered all
over the state Of Nevada That. in the
rough, IS the way we became interested
in the properties

A SIMPLE QUESTION
Forrest City People are Requested to
 Honestly Answer This.

Is not the word of a representative citizen of Forrest City more convinc- ing than the doubtful utterances of people living everywhere else i'll the Union? Read this:
 "F P Todd, of Forrest City. Ark ansas, says: In return for the won derful benefit 1 received from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills, l endorse this remedy highly. For some time l was a sufferer from kidney disease. My kidneys did not do their work properly and the secretions passed too ire quently When the attacks were at their height, l also suffered greatly from q dull pain in the small of my back. While never expect to be en- tireiy free from kidney trouble, l can state that l never before tried rem edy that helped me so much as Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at the City Drug Store After taking them ac- cording to directions the pains in my back became less intense and the kid ney secretions were restored 10 a normal condition"

Liver Trouble
 Remedy Free

Any intelligent person can be his own doctor in the ordinary case of liver trouble, for the symptoms can not be mistaken. If the white of the eye becomes yellowish, If the skin be- comes sallow, ii pimples and blotches appear, if the bowels do not move, ii you have sick headache, If you are bilious, you may be sure that your liver is torpid or inactive.
 The quickest and surest remedy yet found for the cure Of liver trouble or any of its symptoms is pr. Caldwells Syrup This wonderful remedy is not only a laxa- tive. but a tonic as well. It will start the flow of gastric juice. thereby soon enabling the liver to do it's work natur- ally. A bottle of this great liver remedy can be bought Of any druggist for 50 cents or q. and in many cases a single bottle has cured a chronic case.
 For example. John W. Lee 619 s. Penn- sylvania ave. Indianapolis. Ind, had a stubborn and very long standing case of taundice. etc. and 1t cured him. Mrs B. F1inchum, Jackson, Ky, says the same of 1t. Thousands of families keep it in the house against just such an emer- gency. as you can never tell when some member of the family will need a good laxative
 In order to have you or any other sui ferer from the liver make a test of Dr. CaldwelFs Syrup Pepsin without personal expense. Dr Caldwell will send you a free test bottle if you will send your name and address. The sample will show you how pleasant 1t is to take, how gently it works. It will start you or the cure Of your trouble and convince you that you the sample. and the doctor urges you to send for 1t today.

MALlRIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Se- rious Consequences of Neg Iect.

"Fix me up something to knock the malaria, doctor" remarked a sallow faced, siekly looking man, entering a prominent physicians office the other day.
 The doctor stepped to his medicine | case, took down a couple of bottles, mixed preparation which he handed to the patient with the customary advice to shake we'll and follow directions and resumed his seat.
 "Such cases are frequent, replied the doctor in answer to question. "The warm days and damp, chilly nights are certain malaria breeders and are mos, serious in those who have neglected to keep their stomach, liver and bowels in good condition. Such persons are full of the impurities on which the malarial germ thrives, and it is from this class that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright Disease, smallpox and yellow fever claim most of their victims whenever these dis. eases are prevalent.
 The proper way to guard against the malarial germ and the serious diseases which follow 1t is to get into good eondi- tion by taking reliable remedy that will keep the bowels clear and the liver healthy, and to continue with 1t at ire quent intervals during the sickiy season.
 A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or four times week will do all of this, be- sides stimulating the digestion, improv- ing the appetite and keeping the bodily energy at the highest pitch.
 Priekly Ash Bitters is known every. where as system tonic and bowel regu- lator. It not only removes all traces of malarial poison from the system, but tones up the vital organs, gives new strength and vigor, makes the body strong and the brain active.
 "Prickly Ash Bitters is the best all-around medicine for the family ever used During the past ten years have always kept II in my house Whenever any of my family show signs oi mala' ria kidney trouble, udigestion or constipation few doses is all that is needed to make Aen we'll and hearty again.-W.

WHY THE DEAL THROUGH

The land had never been distracted and for this reason it was not discov- cred that his grantor had no deed of record, nor was the patent recorded, and there was an unsatisted mortgage on the land.
 The buyer wanted the farm if the title was good but he had to be shown so the d. al fell through.
