CHERRY CREEK NINE RICH
IN ORE AND ROMANCE

The search for George Treat Is
ended.
Tho missing owner of Chance, :
the abandoned silver mine in the
Cherry Creek district In Nevada,
which is said to have been recently
found TO contain great riches IN
tungsten, is sleeping the sleep ina
knows no end, says the San
co Chronicle.
Nine years ago Treat died AFTER
having sunk about all his fortune IN
this and other mines which, despite
his steadfast faith in them. failed as
bonanzas. The smile of Dame For

Today his two daughters-Mrs.

Morrison of the law firm of Morrl-
son. Dunno Brobeck, and Mrs. George
II. Child. widow of the late secretary
of the Deimel Linen Mesh System
eompany-are about to reap the
benefits of their fathers Chance.
They are the sole heirs.
Not until Mrs. Child read of the
search for Major Treat in The
Chronicle did any one connect the
missing miner with the one-time vel
known pioneer San Francisco CAPT
falist. after whom Treat avenue II
San Francisco was named.
But the story came out in all 1T
details. And it is a story of lifelong
trust, of implicit faith and, in tht
end. of blasted hopes.
Prospecting in the early seventies
through the barren regions of tn
sagebrush state, Treat struck colo

WHY PRINCE ALBERT WINS
Patented Process Is Responsible for It's
International Popularity

Smokers so much appreciate the flavor
and GOODNESS and aroma of Prince Albert
pipe and cigarette tobacco that thew
often marvel that this one brand could
be so different from all others.
The answer to this question is to be
found on the reverse side of everv Prince
Albert package, where YOU will read
process Patented July 80, 1907 That
tells the whole story. Prince Albert is
made by patented process that cuts out
the bite and parch, which makes the to-
bacco so mighty agreeable and satisfy
ing to men OF every taste of every civil
lied nation on the globe.
Smokers should realize that this patent
process cost three years continuous
work and study and fortune in money
to perfect. But the result has proven
to be worth all that was expended upon
It. because it has set free men who be-
lieved they never could enjoy pipe or a
makin's cigarette.
Prince Albert makes it possible for
every man to smoke pipe or TO roll his
own cigarettes. And, no matter how
tender the tongue, Prince Albert cannot
bite or parch. That is cut out by the pat
ented process, leaving for the smoker
only the joys of the fragrant tobacco.
1t is fact that since Prince Albert
arrived" just about six years ago. it
has made three men smoke pipes where
one smoked pipe before!

A Later View of San Antonio.

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL: /
have read with much pleasure the arti-
clee published in your paper describing
tours in Texas, especially those covering
San Antonio. Having spent winter
and summer there few years ago OBJ
tanned pretty good knowledge of that
part of the country, and from my expert
ence would suggest that it would be
poor place for northernor to make
permanent home, but it is an objective
point for winter tourists, presumably
on account of the mild climate more
than anything else. for it certainly is
not an ideal health resort. While was
there there was an epidemic of spinal
meningitis and smallpox in the Mexi-
can quarter, and it was carried to other
cities in the State. but the papers did
not publish it for fear that it would
stampede the tourists. The summers
are frightfully hot-some days as much
as liz in the shade. The only relief Is
the Gulf breeze, which sets in about eight
in the evening and last until three or
four in the morning.
When Genl. Sheridan was stationed IN
San Antonio he gave his opinion of the
place in these words: eff owned both
Texas and Tophet would lease Texas
and live in Tophet." But still, San An
tonic is not an unenjoyable place to visit
in the winter, and there are many his
torical and interesting places in and

WAR UPON PAlNl

Pain is visitor to every home and usually
it comes quite unexpectedly. But you are
prepared for every emergency if you keep a
small bottle of Sloan's Liniment handy. It is
the greatest pain killer ever discovered. Simp-
ly laid on the skin-no rubbing required-it
drives the pain away. 1t is really wonderful.
Mervin H. Soister, Berkeley. Cal, writes:
LAST Saturday, after tramping around the
Panama Exposition with wet feet. came home
with my neck so stiff that l couldn't turn. I
applied Sloan's Liniment freely and went to
bed. To my surprise. next morning the stiff
ness had almost disappeared, four hours after
the second application was as good as new"

PALE WIVES AND MOTHERS

Many women who had good color in
their girlhood grow pale and colorless
when they become wives and mothers.
When the fading color in cheeks and
lips is accompanied by loss of bright
ness in the eyes and an increasing heavl-
ness in the step, the cause is to be sought
in the state Of the blood.
A hundred causes may c,.ltribute to
the condition Of thin blood that's known
as anemia. Overwork, lack OF outdoor
exercise, insufficient rest and sleep, i'm
proper diet, these are few of them.
The important thing is to restore the
blood to normal, to build it up so that
the color will return to cheeks and lips,
the brightness to the eyes and lightnesf
to the step.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are the great
blood builder and invigorator. They be-
gin at once to increase the red corpuscles
in the blood and the new blood carries
strength and health to every part of the
body. Appetite increases, digestion be.
