Of The Child
Is the Organ all Parents Should
Protect and Keep Normal.

The stomach of a child is the organ
above all others upon which the fu-
ture of child depends. Bodily de-
velopment is fast in children, and the
nourishment necessary to meet such
development is the one essential de-
manded from parent. Most mothers
and fathers, jealousy guard a child
from the formation of bad habits, yet
in this age our children early become
the victims of wrong food, over eating
and irregular meals.
1t is most appalling to know the eff
children
Most children who are nervous, irri-
table and cross, who dream, sleep rest
lessly, who tire easily and have no de-
sire for child exercise generally have
stomach trouble, indigestion and dys-
pepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are in
tended to thoroughly digest food and
to place the system in shape to obtain
all the nourishment it needs from such
/ food
These tablets mix with the juices of
the system, enrching them and giving
| to the body the ingredients necessary
! to build up the rapidly forming brain
and body of the young.
! Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets should
! be given to children after each meal
and at bed time. They are made from
pure vegetable and fruit essences and
contain no harmful chemicals what
/ ever. The use of these tablets will
/ give greater vim to child in its
/ school work or at it's play. They will
produce appetite and soothe nerves
allay the bad effects of sweets and
such improper foods as most children
enjoy and will eat no matter what is
done to prevent it,
1t is due the child that his stomach
protected by the parent, and if Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets are given
after meals, the habits of the child
will not tear down the stomach and

SIERRA MADRE CLUB WILL
RUN OIL FIELD EXCURSION

The Sierra Madre club. which made
a success of the excursion to Gold
field the last of September, is consid-
ering arrangements for an invasion of
the oil fields and has taken the matter
UP with the Southern Pacific. The
plan is to take a special train, includ-
ing diner and buffet car, and to take
about four days for the trip, visiting
the Coalinga, Kern river, McKittrick,
Sunset and Santa Paula fields.
The alterations on the top floor of
the Columbia Trust building, which is
to be occupied by the club, are pro-
crossing rapidly. a kitchen has been
built on the roof, the partitions have
all been taken down and the plumbers
are now doing their work. The house
committee is selecting the furniture,
and by December the club should be
installed in the new quarters
The club has secured the mineral
cabinet of Charles r. Wores, which
was exhibited at the Mining congress,
which will be placed on exhibition in
the club rooms. 1t contains 1000
specimens of rich and rare minerals,
many of which are from Arizona
mines.

TOM REED MINE
MAY PASS TO
JOHN II. HOBBS
SAID TO HAVE OPTIONS ON
CONTROL
COMPANY PAYS A FlVE-cENT
DIVIDEND
John Hays Hammond Believed to Be
Slated for Head of Reoreaniza-
tion-Is Considered
Big Mine

That John H Hobbs, who Joined
John Hays Hammond in the purchase
of an interest in the Tom Reed mine
at Gold Roads, carried with him to
New York recently options on enough
stock to give him and his associates
control of the property is the belief of
we'll informed mining men. If this is
true, and the signs indicate that it is,
the Tom Reed promises to occupy a
place away up toward the top of the
list among the big mines.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Hobbs
had an option on the mine more than
year ago, which he failed to exercise.
That he had not abandoned his plans
to secure the mine, which he frankly
says looks like a big one to him, is evil
denced by the latest move, by which
he and Mr.. Hammond secured an in
terest. And no one who knows Mr..
Hammond will believe that he will rest
content with an obscure interest in a
mine with which his name is con-
nected.
Flve=Cent Dividend Paid
Commenting on the transaction tho
Los Angeles Mining Review says:
80 far as can be ascertained at this
time, Mr. Hammond and Mr.. Hobbs of
Denver haze received 100000 shares Of
stock for their services in settling the
litigation pending against the Tom
Reed company on behalf of pooled
stockholders of the Blue Ridge COM
pany. The capitalization of the Tom
Reed is S1,000,000 in dollar shares, and
of that amount 10000 shares had been
issued up to the time of the settlement
of the litigation a few days ago. 1t is
presumed that the 120000-share bonus
was taken from the treasury reserve
and that the Blue Ridge stockholders
received 10000 shares for their portion
of the settlement. In confirmation OF
this report it is said that a scent
dividend has already been distributed,
and this fact leads to the conclusion
that the 10000 shares had already been
underwritten by Mr.. Hammond and his
associates and that they retain the en-
tire 10000 shares paid in settlement.
I'm addition to this amount it is
understood that they have acquired the
holdings of Col. l.. p. Hanson of Pasa-
dena, who is reputed to have received
100000 in cash for his 100000 shares
some weeks ago. 1t is also reported
that Mr.. Hammond and his associates
hold an option on the balance of the
treasury reserve and that options are
out upon enough individual holdings to
give them entire CONTROL

The following description of Round Noun
tain, New, was delivered before the Ameri-
can mining congress at GOldheld by j. r.
LOTUS, president of the Round Mountain
Mining company 1t is reproduced here be-
cause the ores of the camp occupy unique
place in metallurgy, being absolutely free
from base metals of any kind or in any
quantity. By simple plate amalgamation,
90 per cent of the value is recovered, a case
which SO far as the editor of this page has
knowledge, has no parallel in the annals
of mining.
Happy the nation whose annals are
short" Fortunate for you, gentlemen
of this congress, who have had days Oh
talk, and still other days ahead of you,
the annals of Round Mountain are
brief What have to say is the story
of a camp that came into existence in
the big days of Goldfield, without
noise-'twere a mighty noise, indeed,
that could be heard in those days-and
without noise is the most unique fac
tor in the mining world of Nevada to-
day.
Round Mountain lies to the north of
Goldfield 100 miles 1t is an isolated
hill on the east edge of Smoky Valley,
| segregated gelogically and geograph-
ically from the main range. The hill
which rises 1900 feet above the plain,
is an early andeste, fissured around
three-fourths of it's entire base in con-
centric circles half way to its summit.
This assuring, due to later disturbance,
| follows unusually uniform lines, and
represents points of original weakness
ses in the mountain structure. AS far
as an agreement has been reached, the
ore mass is an altered form of the
original structure, enriched and silici-
| fed by a thermal flow from some deep
seated point in the mountain. The
veins dip into the hill at an angle of
about 25 degrees from a horizontal, and
| followed to the lowest depth yet reach
ed 800 feet show no change in struc-
ture of ore character The gold is free,
unassociated with any base the ore
mass-which runs from eight to four
teen feet thick-being highly oxidized.
| Sulphides appear nowhere, nor has a
drop of water yet appeared in the deep
est works. So much for its geology.
Its History
Gold was first discovered at this
point in February, 1906, hardly more
| than three years, on ground owned by
| Louis d. Gordon, a young man now OF
Salt Lake City. The credit of the dis
| coyerv rests with Scott and Morgan.
So sensational was the find that Gold
| field men trekked hurriedly across the
unknown wastes and mountains, and
in the "Goldfield way a new camp
was born This was the beginning, and
for a few months Round Mountain
showed greater promise of golden
wealth than even Goldfeld at its best.
Slabs of virgin metal-some of which
can now be seen in your great exhibit
across the street-were of almost daily
occurrence, and men went mad over the
possibilities. Organizations by the
fnta forIaf
for time money poured in for develop
ment-then came the crash of '07, and
this great sensation of the year found
itself suspended-its high hopes for a
