PUEBLO, Colo Jan. 2+.-The jewel box" lind on the old Madonna mine on Monarch hill has revived mining interest in that famous ana productive district, according to Clyde H Jay, mining engineer of Salida, who was in Pueblo recently. The Madonna find was made below water level by leasors. It was beneath the old barren zone which led to the abandonment of the Madonna worA after the mine had produced $5s O.OOO. The barren zone was en countered at a depth of 1 800 fee and just before water level was reached.
 The leaser5 went through this zone following the contact to the water level, a distance of about seventy feet. Here the vein began to make ore again and the entire width of seven to thirty feet carries values of about $100, mostly silver
 A rich streak in the center oi the vein gives the "jewelry." MT Jay was permitted to go into the mine and get a sample from this streak He took a halfton assay sample from the paystreak, whict is about six to eighteen inches 1T width. The sample was run at thf Pueblo assay office and gave 13, l542 ounces of silver and 11Of ounces of gold, or value Of Ss,

JOHNSON IS STAR PITCHER.

JOr'NoON 10 . An TT SFlG
 Walter Johnson, chief support of the Washington American league pitching staff, is undoubtedly the greatest pitcher of modern times not even excepting the great Alex ander. Christy Matthewson and the others of note. Being with team that is generally made up of sec ond division material, he has never really had the encouragement. Fans would like to see him in worlds championship battle. Without doubt. his speed against National leaguers would prove dazzling.
 American ieaguers, veterans who have faced this rifle-like delivery for years, still fall a victim, but with strangers facing it, the big advantage would be with the Senator tor Johnson is very steady while on the moun1 and even when the breaks are going against him, when his infield is cracking, when the garden men fall on easy ones, he re mains cool and pitches as though he was in title battle. Of late John son has been developing change of pace, figured to keep him in action longer It was the opinion of experts that if Johnson kept up his tremendous speed continually he would not last more than two or three years at the most. But i by conserving his strength. as did 1 Christy Matthewson. he will be able to stick longer in the big show.

 There must be something in the western air. for all the veterans are from that section Dr O.

If BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
SO they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from the
blood, then you get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, constipation, dizziness,
sleeplessness, bladder disorders come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act free This
famous salts is made from the acid
Of grapes and lemon juice combined
with lithia and has been used for gen.
erations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate the INTO activity, also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
iniure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which all regular
meat eaters should take now and then
to keep the kidneys clean and the blod
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications. advt
