Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only n way to cure
deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed,
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
iniamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured

MAzUMA HAS A COSTLY BLAZE

Nc Leans store and the post
Office at Mazuma were destroyed
by fire, believed to have been of
incendiary origin. early last Tues
day morning. The store building
and stock. vaslued at $4,000, was a
total loss. All the records and sup
plies of the postofice were con-
sumed.
1t is generally believed that the
fire was started by an incendiary
and that robbery was the motive
After the fire had completely de-
stroyed the building a search was
made and the indications point
strongly to the fact that the build
ing was set on fire. In the cash
register was S50when the store was
closed the previous evening. On
examination after the fire the mon
ey was missing. There was some
money in a box under the counter,
but no trace of this could be
found, not even the melted bullion.
There was some money in the post
office drawer and this, too was
missing Humboldt Star.

$4,000 PRIMARY A PHANTOM

Congressman in Washington, es-
pecially those who do not want to
pass a publicity bill for campaign
receipts and expenditures, were
talking in dark about the
expenditure of $40, 900 by ex-Rep-
resentative Joseph c. Sibley, hero of
the Archibald letter episode, who
has just defeated his successor Rep
resentative Wheeler, for the repub-
lican nomination for congress in
the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania
district.
In as much as Mr.. Sibley' total
remuneration, counting all per-
quisits to his office, if reelected
to congress, will be only about $751;
500 in two years, it is difficult to
understand why he wants to go back
to Washington when his primary
nomination alone stands him a dead
loss Of 500, 600 and he has yet to be
elected, wait more than a year before
taking his seat and then live two
years after that.
One answer is contained in Mr..
Sibley's complaint about the criti-
cism leveled against his extrava.
gance. The gist of the argument is:
Il have plenty Of money, and |
want to go back to congress. Why
shouldn't II"

BEST PLACEIo GET "JAGGED'

According to a campaign state
ment by Rev. Clarence True Wilson,
if you want to get a jag on. go tc
Nevada. He says there is one saloon
in Nevada for every 81 population.
That is going some, sure enough.
DR.. Wilson also says Nevada had
more population in the 70's than at
the present time. All the decent
people leave Nevada, he says.
DR.. Wilson should read Pacific
coast history. Nevada has less
population than in the 70's. but it
is not because decent people do not
remain in the state. In the 70's
millions were being taken out of the
mines in Nevada Virginia city was
a big place. Other big camps were
Eureka, Austin, Phoebe. White Pine,
Silver City, and Gold Hill. Hun
dreds of millions were taken from
the Comstock mines ct Virginia
City alone. For several years about
$50, 600, 900 was taken each from
the Consolidated Virginia and Calf
ornia mine sat Virginia City. That
was in the 70's- That was when
John w. Mackay, James S. Fair,
William O'Brien and James c. Flood
made their immense fortunes and
obtained the title of Bonanza
Kings" William C. Rallston, VIM.
Sharon, d. o. Mills. j. D. Fry and
lots of well-known Pacific Coast
people realized fortunes those days
from Che mines. Nevada was full
of miners and all kinds of people.
When the mines gave out the people
left.
In calculating the number OF
saloons in Nevada as compared with
the population, the figures of the
last census r probably used. There
are no other official records except
assessors records and school census.
In 1900. the population of Nevada
was very small. With new gold
discoveries it has increased largely
in the past few years. Goldfield,
Tonopah and Rawhide are among
the large new camps. There is
now quite a mining excitement in
Nevada, but nothing like the old
Comstock boom of the T0's. The
population has grown recently and
with it the number of saloons.
True figures will not show one
saloon to every 81 persons. Thai
is simply absurd. Press

The BLESSINGS OF TIE DESERT

Terrors and discomforts of heat
on the desert, at least in the estab-
lished communitis, fade into in
significance in the light of the deadly
heat that is now prostrating and
killing scores of people in the big
cities of the East. Even water and
shelter from the direct rays of the
sun give no relief to the suffering
multitudes of the East, while even
the limited shade of the Joshua tree
on the desert affords a pleasant
comfort at the most trying time Of
the day. The terrors of Death
Valley, with its toll Of victims who
have died from thirst, are Jap
parently no greater than the dangers
that now stalk through the Eastern
cities and claim more victims in n
day than the sun-parched valley Of
the black name has claimed in a
generation. A canteen of water
and the shelter Of a sand dune or
a Joshua are ample to preserve life
and save the despairing traveller
from the eternal sleep that other
wise might be his fate while cross
ing the great white waste. And
when night comes, il brings with il
a grateful, refreshing GOODNESS
that gives new life and a delightful
pleasure of existence. The people
of the desert have cause to be
thankful that they do not have to
live in the East, and extend their
sympatbies accordingly.-Goldfeld

THE 18TH NORTH CAROLINA

A great many articles have ap-

They have excited a great deal Of
interest among old soldiers, and

THE regiment was raised in the

and August, 1861, and was made
up of the descendants of the Scotch
Irish Presbytrians who had mi
grated to this country at the time
of the religious persecution in
England. The roster of the regi-
ment shows that officers and men
nearly all bore well known Scotch.
Irish names. The regiment entered
the battle of Gettysburg with $50
present for duty, and allowing 1C
per cent for extra duty and details,
this left about 800 muskets. OF
this number 70S we're killed,
wounded or missing, and thirty
four out of the thirty.nine officers
were killed or wounded. Company
F of the regiment stands alone
among all the companies in either
army for the number of casualties.

officers and eighty c ght enlisted
men, Of whom every one was killed
or wounded in the fight. OF these
nineteeniwere actuallylkilled, twelve
mortally wounded, and sixty

REVEALED
FOR MAKING GOLD

Austin Granville,a mechanical
engineer, with offices in the Temple
Court building, states positively
that gold car be created out of
chemically pure materials, but he
admits the process is so expensive
that it has no commercial value,
says a New York correspondent of
the Boston Herald. Moreover, he
makes no secret of the gold-making
formula, but frankly gives it in
detail, with the suggestion that any
chemist can easily test its value in
his laboratory. Here it is:
place in a crucible, Dixon black
lead preferred, the following in
gradients: 6 assay tons of rolled
sulphur; 5 assay tons of anthony.
ground to a mesh of 100 fine; 2
assay tons lamp black oil other car
bon; 2 assay tons of card teeth or
piano wire; cover with caustic soda;
Lutte on cover with ashes and fire
clay; bind with strong steel wire.
Place this in furnace for one hour
at not less than l3O0degrees Faren-
heit.
Though anthony suffuses at 900
degrees Fahrenheit, 5 assay tons of
anthony will be found in a button.
| Grind this to 100 mesh just as you
would for ordinary assay; then
dress with chemically pure lead and
scorify and cupei. The result will be
a bead of almost pure gold, although
perhaps a little silver will be found
with the button. This is parted in
| the usual way and the amount of
gold determined"
The formula Mr.. Granville says,
was used in experiments made
several years ago by E. C.. Brice,
who made TESTS for a government,
board appointed by Lyman J. Gage,
then.secretary of the.treasury. The
cost Of tbs manufacture, however,
was four times the value of the
product.
"Brice's theory" says Mr.. Gran.
vile, was that sulphur contained
gold and was the matrix of that
metal, much ;as aluminus is today
obtained from bauxite. Any
chemist who will try out the labora.
tory formula given herewith can
convince himself that Brice's pro.
cess was scientifically correct,
though one may doubt its com.
mercial utility"

JOS. ". SMITH MUST
stay IN PRISON

Joseph Smith must spend another
year at least in the penitentiary.
Yesterday the board of pardons met
and discussed his case. The question
was presented by Attorney Hilton
of the Western Federation of Miners
and during the presentation quite
a heated debate took place between
himself and Justice Sweeney. 1t
appears that at the time the mat
ter was taken up before the Justice
had stated that at the time of the
trouble at Goldfeld he was present
one evening in the Miners Union
hall and heard remarks made by
Smith which branded him as an
archist. That Smith was noisy and
turbulent and he, Sweeney, had
stated to him then that if he was
not careful the people would take
him out and hang him to a lamp post.
i This matter was remembered by
Hilton and yesterday he appeared
before the board with a number of
affidavits wherein Smith was made
to appear as an angel of peace and
quietness. This angered Sweeney
who made the statement that he
considered Smith the worst of the
two meaning Smith and Preston.
He further claimed that both men
should have been hanged. That
the men we're where they belonged
and if he had his way they would
stay there.
Hilton also produced an affidavit
signed by himself in which he
stated that former District At
torney Swallow of Esmeralda ccunty
had informed him that Senator
Nixon had paid the sun of $4,000
each to the attorneys Douglas and
Malone of Goldfeld for the work
they had done in the case as special
prosecuting attorneys. It appeared
from the affidavit that Swallow had
not received a portion Of the money
and as a consequence was sore.
The desired effect of this affidavit
fell fiat for Sweeney was too hot in
the collar to take advantage of IL
and would not fall to the political
bait as Hilton hoped he would. The
injecting of political knocks into
the affair only caused Sweeney
more anger and it is rumored that
hot words passed in the governors
private office when the board went
into executive session. At any rate
the result was far from what the
attorney for the union wanted and
the application for pardon was de-
MED. II is too bad that Smith was

Referendum in
Use Many Years

Do cot fail to note the idea that
direct legislation is essential to
self government. In that fact lies
the heart OF the whole discussion.
| have sometimes listened TO men
dispute about the referendum for
half an hour or more, and then,
when it was possible TO get a
word in edgewise, asked if they
believed in self-government here
in America. and on a favorable
reply, which has rarely failed. !
have said. We'll. then. YOU be-
lieve in the referendum, for it is
nothing but self-government, and
it is impossible to have self-gov-
ernment without it. There may
be difficulties in extending the
referendum, as there usually are
in any advance but remember
they are difficulties with self-gov-
ernment; and if you really be
lieve with the great mass of Amer
lean people that self-government
is right and necessary for justice,
safety, manhood, education and
development, it is your duty to
set about trying to overcome
whatever difficulties you find in
the way" ! have yet to see the
person who has any answer to
make to this if the justice of self
government is once admitted, so
manifest is it that the referendum
and self-government arc one and
the same thing.
Abraham Lincoln was a be-
lever in The principle of direct
Legislature, and sought to put it
in practice to settle one of the
most momentous questions in our
history. His famous phrase, "a
government of the people, by the
people. and for the people" is an
exact dehdition of system based
upon an effectively controlled by
direct legislation, and it will not
harmonic with any other system.
In 1854 Mr.. Lincoln said, at
Peoria, "According to our ancient
faith. the just powers of govern
ment are derived from the con-
sent of the governed. Allow all
the governed an equal voice in
the government, and that and
that only is self-government."
