BIG STRIKE ON
VALDEz.B0NANzA
Immense Body of Low Grade Ore
With 8 1-5 Feet Of Rich Oxi-
died Quartz Struck.

An immense body of low grade
ore has been struck on the VAL
sdez Bonanza property at the head
of Mineral creek, together~with a
5 1-5 foot ledge of high grade
rock consisting Of Qxidized quartz.
News of the strike was brought
to town by Contractor Sutton, who
has just completed his contract
on tie property.
! For a distance of 35 feet the
contractor had been cross-cut-
ting through ledge matter, when
he recently encountered the high
grade quarts, which shows free
gold. This ore was penetrated
and found to be 5 1-2 feet in
width. A we'll defined wall was
run into and penetrated which
stands perfectly perpendicular.
1t has not as yet been determined
whether this is the foot or hang
Ing wall, although It is certain
that the other wall was passed a
distance of 40 feet back.
The cross-cut was continued
for about IL feet into the conn-
try rock to make. sure that the
lead had been fully penetrated.
The cross-cut has been run a
distance Of lao feet. When inI
about 100 feet the men struck theI
ledge matter, which when assay
ed ran as high as SO to $40.
They ran through this base orel
a distance of 35 feet, when the
oxidized quartz was struck, thus
making the ledge 40 feet wide,
with 5 1-5 feet of rich ore and
the rest low grade. The forma-
ton of the rich ore is identical
with the surface indications above.
The company now intends drifting
Oh the high grade body next to
the perpendicular wall, stopping
put the ore.
The stockholders are highly
slated over the strike and as they
row have sufficient capital to
Proceed with the work, are conf
lent that they will soon demon
,trate that they have a mine.

JAPANESE RUSKIN
 DIES IN HOSPITAL

Vicksburg, Miss, January 14-At quiet little funeral here yesterday afternoon Kunisan Inomata, Japanese Samura, was laid to rest far from his people and his home in Nippon. But his passing was not unmourned. Many Americans, some of whom did not even know Inomata In life attended the funeral and dropped a tear. for Inomata was hero.
 Scion of wealthy family in Japan, scholar and traveller. Inomata married an English girl in Boston eight years ago. The girl, then Miss Helen A. Hunt, had loved in merry England a lad named James Gibson years before. They quar- reled and the girl came to America.
 Recently while Inomata and his wife were in Jackson, Miss, Mrs. Inomata met her former sweetheart. They felt the surge of the old love and the wife of the Japanese confessed to her husband her renewed love for the Englishman. 1no- mata, with heroism that was remark able, wasting with disease brought on by working long hours to pay hospital fees for the woman he loved. allowed Mrs. 1n- omata to secure divorce, came with her to this city and saw her married to Gib- son this month.
 The Japanese Samurai then went to the hospital to die He was tenderly cared for by his former wife and her husband, and Inomatas only regret in all hls he- roic sef-sacrf1ce was that he did not die in his own country.

GAS, INDIGESTION
 AND DYSPEPSIA GO

- T.
 The question as to how long you are going to continue sufferer from Indi- gestfon, Dyspepsia or out-of-order Stomach Is merely a matter of how soon you begin taking some Diapepsin.
 If your stomach Is lacking in diges- tive power. why not help the stomach to do It's work, not with drastic drugs, but a re-enforcement of digestive agents. such as are naturally at work in the stomach.
 People with weak Stomachs should take little Diapepsin occasionally, and there will be no more indigestion, no feeling like a lump of lead in the stomach, no heartburn, Sour risings, Gas on Stomach or Belching of undi- gested food. Headaches, Dizziness or Sick Stomach, and, besides. what you eat will not ferment and poison your breath with nauseous odors. All these symptoms resulting from a sour, out of-order stomach and dyspepsia are generally relieved in five minutes after taking little Diapepsin.
 Go to your druggist and get bO- cent case of Pape's Diapepsin now. and you will always go to the table with a hearty appetite. and what you eat will taste good, because your stomach and intesttnes will be clean and fresh, and you will know there are not going to be any more bad s~xhts and miserable days for you. They freshens you and make you feel like life is worth living.

 Regardless of the fact that MT. Sher- rod was not elected president pro tenn of the state, but withdrew before the con- his appointment as chairman of several important committees, but above all he seems to. be better pleased at the fact that son of his was selected as one of the pages.
 Up to this time no local bill has been advertised relative to the prohibition laws in the two Decaturs, and In this county.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER
 TRADE TO BE REVIVED

New Orleans, January 14.-That barges of the Carnegie Steel company are soon to restore the supremacy of the Mississippi river in the great water trade of years go Is the information which has been received here.
 It is stated on good authority that the company Is building a number of steel barges to put into the trade. The barges will soon be placed on the river carrying steel rails from Pittsburg to this point for distribution. If enough interest can be awakened in the northern trade. the navigation of the two great streams, the Ohio and the Mississippi will be re-estab- lished on a greater basis than ever before
 With the California Atlantic steamship line already in operation from San Fran cisco to this point, the opening of the Panama canal would mean an unbrol1en water route from Pittsburg, Pa, to the Panama canal and would mean an un- broken water route from Pittsburg to San Francisco. with the barges in oper- ation.
