GOOD ADVICE FOR
ROCK ISLAND PEOPLE

People in Rock Island who have
constipation, sour stomach or gas on
the stomach, should use simple buck
thorn bark, glycerine, etc, as COM
pounded in Adler-i-ka, the new Ger
man appendicitis remedy. A single
dose brings relief almost instantly
because this simple mixture anti-sep-
tics the digestive organs and drains
the impurities. A. Heimbeck, drug
gist, 924 Third avenue.

Jones HAMS

Like the sausages, are the best. They
are the result of the simple old New
England farm way of curing-with-
out any of the hurrying or artificial
methods often employed. Made from
the choicest corn and milk fed pork,
they are allowed plenty of time to
atsorb under proper conditions of
temperature the sugar. salt and
spices called for by the old home
recipe.

pose of inspecting the local plant. The

WANT SHORT INTAKE.
Unlike Chicago, Evanston is to build
a filter plant and have the intake pipe
only a little distance into the lake
Evanston proposes to spend $125,00C
for the Improvement and TO have {
plant with 10000 600 capacity. Chi
cago does not filter it's water but runs
the intake pipe out into the lake 70

report from the southern part of the says that Dan
Murphy of Ulysses Idaho, will make systematic attempt
this to redscover the famous Lost Gold Mine of Gus
ter county and the following story will no doubt prove inter
esting reading:
In the year 1884 German pospector started from Loon
creek Custer county, and travelling by of Cape Horn to
Stanley Basin made camp on Valley creek. During the
night his horses srayed away Next morning he raled them
about four miles in northwestery direction when he found
they had separated two going and another That
day he found the two and returned to camp with them On
the following morning he followed up the trail of the other
horse and found where he had snagged and killed himself III
tangled of dead and fallen timber small lake
The German then turned to back his 1t was after
noon and the behind him.
After going few rods he ledge OF rock two
feet thick and Is inches out of the ground tie Knocked OIL
several pieces of which he pounded up and panned find
ing heavy streak of witish metal which he could not
cognze He put large piece Of the rock in his canteen and
it getting too dark to find his camp he stayed for the
night in old deserted cabin.
When daylight he made his way to his camp about
two miles below him. Having then only two horses he de-
cded give up prospecting for that and went to ketch
um from which place he took the train to Virginia City, New
There he went into business with an old partner ana coh
ued until the hard times of 1903 made the business unprot
able and the German made his mind to hit the trail tor the
mountains He got out his prospecting outfit
which had been put in the cellar for several years an
came the large piece of rock which he had found neal
the lake He had this piece assaed and it went $500 tc
the ton in gold and silver.
Believing that it would be easy to find the ledge, he re-
turned to Idaho and searched all that summer but could mo
no trace of the oucroppng the cabin where he had stop
ped or the lake. Next he started early hiring man
to help him in his search After two months OF hard work
they gave up Then the German hired another man who
knew the country WE'LL but six weeks search brought no re
suit. Another attempt made with man by the name
of Bowen and the two hunted until the drove them out
Bowen found the cabin where the German had stayed on ms
way back to camp but could find lake which the German
could recognize All three Of the Germans companions were
from Stanley Basin and all three dead now Murphy II
renored to have been we'll acquainted with them and believes
he has a good chance to discover the lost ledge
