STATE PAPERS FILLED WITH
MINING CONGRESS DOPE

Reno Reveille:
Columns of state papers are crowded
with interesting information relative to
the session of the American Mining
Congress to be held in Goldfeld next
month. Nevada is taking more interest
in the congress than ever before for
reasons other than that the session is
to be held within its borders. Aside
from the opportunity to display its
mineral resources to men commanding
large outside capital, these two factors
contribute to this unusual Interests:
Men of international repute in finance,
industrial and scientific economical af-
fairs will be in attendance for the pur-
pose of discussing that ~world-big sub
iect of an increased use Of silver as a
money metal, to discuss it from a
friendly attitude, with a view to strip
ping it of its political prejudices, en-
tightening bigoted Ignorance and thus
performing a valuable service to COM
merce. The other is that the congress
will tackle that herculean task of le-
eliminating the financing of mining
propositions to remove that process
from the domain of get-rieh-quick en-
terprise. just how this is to be ac-
complished, deponent sayeth not; but
any intelligent effort along this line
will result in good to the mining in
dustry.

OF these tales rest upon guesswork,

however, the story concerning Lady
Upton proves that when speaking Of
their flyers good men are often

credited to the Trotter and PAGER.
Lady Upton died about two years

This is new preparation and good
one. 1t is especially valuable as cure
for chronic and muscular rheumatism,
and for the relief from pain which it
affords in acute inflamatory rheuma-
tsm. Those who have used it have
invariably spoken of it in the highest
terms of praise. Lame back, lame
shoulder and stiff neck are due to rheu-
matism OF the muscles, usually brought
on by exposure to cold or damp, and are
quickly cured by applying this Iiniment
freely and massaging the affected parts.
Soreness of the muscles, whether in
duced by violent exercise or injury, IL
alayed by this liniment. For sale by
all dealers.
