worse at night and would not allow
me u sleep, or my wife either, and it
was completely undermining our
health. I lost fifty pounds In weight
and was almost out Of my mind with
pain and chagrin a. nc matter where
the irritation came, AZ work, on the
street or in the presence of company.

for the proposed advance in freight
rates and counsel for the roads have

In the hope of insuring the settle

allow five years for the completion of
the transaction.
A rehearing of the Missouri river

In Alaska the bones and often the
entire bodies of extinct animals. such
as the mammoth, the mastOdOn, the
reindeer and the bison. are found most
abundantly in layers of soil directly
above gold bearing gravels. So init
mate is this association between fossil
animal remains and aurifcrous depos-
it's that one scientist who has explored
Alaska says fossils serve p~rospectors
as indexes of the metallic richness of
the soil. In ancient times both gold
and the bones of animals were deposit
ed at the bottoms of valleys by action
of rivers and smaller streams, many
of which have now d~isappeared; conse-
quently the appearance of fossils is, it
is claimed, IN almost certain indication
that gold will be found in the neigh
