There is one question that is put to us more often than any other" said one of the representatives who are at the Collier Drug company's store for the purpose or Introducing in Birmingham remarkable new tonic called 'Tona Vita,' ana which, strangely enough, l find 1t most difficult to answer That is why Is there so much suffering here in Birmingham when most of 1t can be avoided py 'hs 'hs use of the proper nedicine@
 The only answer I can give to eiiis question: continued the representatiNe' lis that most people do not know the na- ture of their ailments and tnere1ore uo not follow the proper course. Ihey ia'l to recognize the indfsputable fact that at the very lowest average 25 per cent of the sufferers in Birmingham have nothing more or less than nervous debility. They or their doctors may call It something else. but as soon as they treat themselves for that trouble they improve.
 Nervous debility says the represen- tative, lis that condition or the body or any of it's organs. in which the vital fune- tions are discharged with less than normal vigor. the amount of power and activity displayed being reduced. It simply means that the body is dispossessed of it's char acteristic properties and, combined with a high state of nervousness, the modern plague, nervous debility, is produced Ths body Is Then m a state or languOr ana decline.
 'The following symptoms are character istic of this trouble, lasstude, nervous ness. sleeplessness. timidity, depression of spirits, little vitality. cold feet, poor cir culation, weak back. headache, poor diges- tion, stomach and bowel trouble, depres- sion and despondency.
 These are unmistakable indications Of nervous debility, and there are thousands here in Birmingham who suffer with this trouble in its most distressing form. ] ":'Tona Vita will act in such cases like a true specific.

When the value of the social equation the feminine influence will be on an in telligent working basis. That there is an enormous social influence created and maintained by the women of the of ficial work no one familiar with even a single season at the national capital can doubt Where it begins, where 1t ends, what it accomplishes are, how ever. still unsolved problems. Comment ing upon this matter a society writer remarked
 That the social programme planned by Mrs. Taft between the election and inauguration of her husband is gener- ally conceded to be the most graceful, generous and dignified m all our social history no one disputes, yet, even the wisest politicians hesitate to say any support to the President has been won by White House entertaining. The sen ator's wife who Keeps open house ssen Thursday afternoon throughout the season, offering to all corners the much discussed cup of tea with or without g. lettuce sandwich accompanied by a salted almond, or marron glace, makes scores of friends for herself in Wash ington, but the most astute politician may question the practical working of the. tea table, when it comes to vote in his home legislature. The present cabinet, like that of the second Roove- welt administration, discourages in every possible way, the general visiting that once made Washington winter a continuous performance for every wom- an with a card and pair of clean white gloves. Yet no one can say that President Taft's advisers have lost in- fluence at home or in national affairs.

for myself I followed the line of least resistance, which was comedy and farce, yet all the while there remained the firm determination to do Shakespeare"
 "Then you will not put on any more modern plays?" I inquired.
 Why should IF" he asked. Mrs. Soth- ern and feel that we've done our duty in that respect, and if our greatest pleasure is in presenting Shakespearian produc- tons and our public likes us in them, why should we changer"
 And of Hamlet and your conception Of the character" I asked. Our critics have lkened you to Booth in the part"
 "To my mind Hamlet was never the mad creature that he has been pictured by many" said Mir. Sothern. There is no impenetrable mystic import in Hamlets 5 vacillation, nor in any other phase of his character as it transpires from the action of the play--as Shakespeare put it down and the correlations of the personages. It Is in this spirit that I have inceived the role. And the best reason of all that Hamlet is not mad is that he loves Ophela. And there Is ample cause why he should recoil from telling her of his mothers sin and thus bids her to a nun- nery."
 Quickly MT. Sothern's keen sense of humor came into play and he said:
 ''The most curious things in the world are the criticisms of Shakespeare and of Hamlet Going back to Voltaire, we find him saying that Hamlet was q coarse and barborous piece which would not be tolerated by the lowest rabble of France or Italy Again, Thomas Rymer said There's not a monkey but under -ti.nds nature better The inimitable Max Beer bohm said: You see we think 1t was enough to have bred Shakespeare; we don't have to read him But the most ridiculous things have appeared recently in various newspapers For instance in Texas the following appeared one morn ing.
 Rainstorm in Galveston; windstorm Tn Houston: hailstorm in Dallas; barnstorm- CTS in Hamlet at Austin
 And it's delicious that you enjoy such frivoity on such a serious subject" I re- marked.
 T haven't told you the wittiest of them all," said MT. Sothern laughingly. MT. George Ade was the critic on an Indiana newspaper once when a stock company presented Hamlet, and he wrote:
 Company good; play bad
 Even MT. Henry Watterson had his fling" continued MT. Sothern. "wnen se wrote: Hamlet at the McCauley opera house last night. My God, said the wood cock and it flew away"
 Just one more. and then I'm through"
 And we haven't even touched upon the subject of the Baconians yet" I said pleadingly."
 "Another tlme-for that's a very inter estIng subject to me-" said MT. Sothern, but the sample of a mining camp criti- clsm out west of Hamlet, I was about TO say, was to this effect: There's too much

Mohave County miner., 1912-02-10

w. B. Ridenour and J. w. Johnson
 came down from Hack berry last Satur day, returning home Thursday last. | Mr. Ridenour has been operating the old ackberry South mine the past
 two months with force of men and expects to get into the ore body any day. The ground is lookiug good for ore and in the event that it is encount. cred larger force will be immediate. ly employed. The Blackberry mine is one of the first silver properties work. ed in Mohave county and has produced hundreds of thousands of dollars.
 The Alpha mine is now shipping nine tons of ore daily to the railroad, whence it is shipped to the Needles smelter for treatment. So far two carloads have been shipped and at , least two cars each week will be sent out. A contract for the delivery of 800 tons of ore to the smelter has been entered into and it is probable that complete delivery will be made dur ing the month of March. The mine is showing up splendidly and the devel- oped ore body carries good values in gold, silver and copper. The mine is sure to become large producer with the completion of the developments now mapped out.
 It is too bad that the leasing system has practically been abandoned in this county. In years past the government of the county and almost the entire business of the county was supported by the mining leasers. Two ore samplIng plants were maintained and many of the tributers made good sized fortunes from the mines, while the owners were paid handsome royalties. The same condition should exist today if the mine owners would only give the miners a chance to make s0me- thing over and above the cost of operation. There are many old mines in the county that still have stringers of rich ore that might lead to some- thing better if followed by an lntel- ligent leaser. The business men of the town should lend an encouraging hand to the honest leaser. and do everything possible to promote the system. rr8f9..
