Rights Of Pedestrians.

Speaking of the rights OF pedestrians
concerning a temporary covered bridge
built by a contractor for the demolition
Of a building. over sidewalks so that the
work could be done without interrupting

York supreme court, in recent case,
said:
THE traveller cannot expect that the
temporary passageway is either as con-
venient or as safe as that afforded by a
sidewalk under ordinary conditions. but
the extraordinary circumstances must be
taken into consideration. in our view of

Losses Long Remembered.
There is very little business in the way
of making real estate loans and then
selling them to general investors. For
merly there was a large business In the
way Of selling western farm loans In
Boston, but the more important compa-
MES engaged in that field got overenthu-
s,astic and loaned either outside the de-
pendable rain belt or at too high Vaiua-
tons. so that many of them went into
bankruptcy. with much loss and annoy

It is this latter field. says the writer,
that hasn't yet been opened up to the

investments, both in fee and in mort

rich individuals or by large estates or by

When the tunnel is driven under
the point where the high grade shoot
was discovered on the surface 1t is
the intention of the management to
crosscut south to the hanging wall OF
the ledge and also north to another
ledge which lies to the north and
which joins the main ledge a short
distance to the east. A raise will
also be made on the footwall to the
surface and as soon as practicable a
Wine will be sunk to prospect the
ledge below the tunnel level.
On the upper fork of Willow Creek
the work necessary to hold the water
right granted by the state have
been completed; on the lower fork
the work will be done this spring.
With the water of the upper fork 80
horsepower can be developed. which
will be sufficient TO operate a mill for
the handling of company ore. With
a small mill in operation the directors
believe that enough of the low grade
ore can be handled to more than pay
the cost of further development.
The company has a complete min
ing equipment including 1000 feet OF
rails. mine car and all necessary tools
for present operations. A small hoist
will be secured when work of sinkine
Is begun.
The directors. officers and promot-
ers of this company are we'll known
in this district and have put up the.I
own money for purchase price and
most of the development work. They
DO not now intend to sell more stock
than will carry on the plans as out
lined above. They promise all inves.
tors a square deal with the prospects
of the Investment proving extremely
profitable as the result of the open
ing up OF a big mine.

Iowa Man Stuck
With PitChfOrk

A farmer living in the Northern
part of Iowa stuck himself in the
leg with pitch fork. The wound
would not heal and for two years
he had a running sore. He tried
all the common salves and liniments
and sometimes the sore would heal
but it always broke open again.
Finally he healed it up to stay
healed with Alters Ulcerine Salve.
This salve is one of the oldest
remedies in America and since
1869 it has been known as the on
ly salve powerful enough to cure
chronic ulcers and old sores of
long standing.
Aliens Ulcerine Salve acts by
drawing out the poisons arG heal
ing the sore from the bottom up.
1t is so powerful that it heals new
cuts and sores in one-third the
time that common salves and lini-
ments take. And it heals burns
and scalds without a scar. Sold
by T. j. Halle & Go. and other
leading druggists. Adv. (2)
