DEATH OF JOHN F. CAMM
Colorado Mining Millionaire q
Successful Operator in Eureka
District in Early Days of
Camp

John F. Campion. mining million
aire and founder of the beet sugar
industry in Colorado, and in the
early days of this camp engaged in
mining in Eureka. died at his home
in Denver, Colorado. on July II, fol-
lowing a three months illness. The
following is taken from a sketch of
Mr.. Campion's life published in the
Denver Post:
John Francis Campion was born
on Prince Edward Island, Dec. II.
1848, a son of M. B. and Helen
Fehan Campion, natives of that is
land, and of Scotch decent. In 1862
his parents moved to California. In
1868 the discovery of the White Pine
silver mines drew him irresistibly to
that locality, where he Immediately
became a successful mine operator.
His good fortune continued for some
time, but he finally met with re-
verses and lost the beginning of a
fortune he had been accumulating-
some 5000 in the mine. He then
moved to Eureka, Nevada, where he
developed and sold many mining
properties. and soon was amassing a
fortune. Later he bought a valu-
able silver mine at Phoebe, Nevada,
and organized the Phoebe Phoenix
Mining Company. He held this prop
erty for a number of years and pros
pered by its development.
He was interested for many years
in various mines in Colorado, and in
the early '90s opened the famous
Little johnny mine in Leadville. This
property made him a millionaire.
With the wealth made in mining Mr..
Campion became a stakeholder in
many and varied Colorado enter
prises. He was one of the pioneers
in the Development of the beet u
gar industry in the West.

How to Prevent
Acid Stomach and
Food Fermentation
ny A NEW YORK PHYSICIAN.

MY experience In the treatment OF stom-
ach diseases has forced me TO the conclusion
that most people who complain Of stomach
trouble possess stomachs that are absolutely
healthy and normal The real trouble, that
which causes all the pain and difficulty, Is
excessive acid in the stomach, aggravated
by food fermentation. Hyptracidity initiates
the delicate lining OF the stomach abnor-
maliy, causing that full bloated feeling, Thus
both acid ana fermentation interfere wsth
and retard the process Of digestion. The
stomach is usually healthy and normal, but
irritated almost past endurance by these for
eisn elements--acid and wind. In all cases
and they comprise a great majority OF all
stomach difnculties-the FIRST and only step
necessary In to neutralize the acid and stop
the fermentation by taking In little warm
or cold water Immediately after eating. from
one TO two teaspoonfuls OF bisurated mag
nesia. which IL the most effective antAcid
and food corrective I have ever found. The
excess acid will be neutralized and the fer
mentation stopped almost instantly. and your
stomach will at once proceed To digest the
food In a healthy normal manner. Re sure
